My HIDIZS ST2 Pro Nebula review is live!
Comfortable fit, punchy sound, and easy USB-C listening. I would have liked an EQ app and volume buttons, though.
Watch the review, including a mic test:

Keep your favourite headphones. Add a mic.
I tested the Antlion ModMic USB 2 with my Sennheiser HD 550. Great voice quality, but another cable to manage. Hear it for yourself:

The $60 NICEHCK PureAural impressed me with clean sound, precise imaging, and 10-band PEQ. Its gaming features include useful mic gain controls, too.

The MuseHiFi U3 packs 3.5mm, 4.4mm balanced, and parametric EQ into a $30 USB-C DAC. I liked its clean sound and compact design, though power has its limits.

HiFi Oasis has a new look! 🎧
I’ve redesigned the site with a cleaner layout, better light and dark modes, and easier reading on mobile.
Take a look around and let me know what you think!

Toronto Audiofest 2026 was busier than I expected 🎧
My quick recap is now on YouTube: listening rooms, Earvana, headphones, and IEMs in just over three minutes.

Surfans listened. The $150 F20 Pro+ gets a sharper screen, a clickable wheel, better buttons, and an improved launcher. Same great sound, but much better for daily use.

Deep bass without the bloat, clear vocals, and striking shells: the JUZEAR x KOTO Nebula gets a lot right. But is its lighter mid-bass punch for you?

Your DAP’s software matters every time you listen to music.
My latest guide compares Android, HiBy OS, MTouch, and more, from browsing albums to playlists and everyday usability.
Which DAP OS suits you?

Had a bit of a break, but now I'm back at it! Here's a teaser for some upcoming reviews, and no, it's not two M3 Plus DAPs in the pic 😏
Confused about what features DAPs have and which ones are actually useful? Check out my video, "Every DAP Feature Explained – What Actually Matters?"

Can $25 retro headphones actually sound good?
The SNOWSKY Wind Pro is ultra-light, surprisingly spacious, and deeper-reaching than expected. Paired with the Echo Nano, it creates a great modern Walkman-style setup.

The Fosi Audio S3 had solid hardware from the start, but the software side needed some work. Now that it is officially Roon Ready and the companion app has been redesigned, is Fosi’s first network streamer finally ready for prime time?
