It was awesome meeting you, Pud, and Tyler for the first time this year, and it was great to see everyone else I've known over the years again. Thanks so much for having me on Josh, and I'm glad you're finally feeling better! I need to get a Tungsten now as well apparently! Pud's Flava Flav subwoofer is epic!
HiFiMan HE1000se is clearly superior to Tungsten in almost every way, according to my ears. Professor Wave Theory's video on the camparison is a good place to start.
It's a cool idea to have everyone come together to do a collab for the end of the year like. Really enjoyed it! I gotta say though, I wouldn't mind hearing your own picks, Josh!
I hope to see the Dark Matter Audio Labs IEM(s) featured on this channel as well. Pretty much nothing on the net so far. Cool to see Zach share his love for the Meze Elite :)
Happy New Year, new subscriber enjoying your content, Thanks! May have stumbled on a good test track for shoutiness... Hole Hearted by 90's rock band Extreme. The combination of guitar, cymbals, and high harmonies is like a 'Hot Wings Challenge' for your ear drums. You can almost gauge the pain level on different headphones. If you can survive the whole track without reaching for the volume knob, you win. 😎
Nice one Josh always great to see other reviewers thoughts, ZMF has got been highlighted a lot in 2024, one day I might be able to experience that, meanwhile look forward what 2025 brings us
I loved that Joe had a bunch of headphones labeled on a splash screen and labeled himself “me.” Made me actually laugh out loud. My favourites are the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro X limited, the Hifiman Edition XS and the Aune AR5000. Looking forward to hearing the Aune closebacks.
I run DS Tungsten off Dual Flux Mentors, absolutely life changing audio experience. I also run HD600 off a Ferrum OOR, actually made them enjoyable for me, no longer lacks low end!
10:47 True 5.1 surround sound is awesome for games and movies. Games like Battlefield 2042 and Helldivers 2 have excellent surround sound implementation.
@@Find_the_Door Dude....even by graphs, if you are into those, it is bright AF. I demoed them, I suppose it coud work for some genres but everything I heard using real instruments messed with the timbre something fierce.
Awesome to see ETA getting some love, I daily a pair of rhe Mini Cs and adore rhem. It's also really cool to be lucky enough to have met some of the folks chiming in here, hopefully I'll get to meet a few more some time!
I have just purchased yet to receive a Focusrite Solo Gen 4 for an audio interface and have a range of budget headphones SPH9500, DT990 Pro, DT770 PRO and Truthear Zero IEMs but I was thinking of adding some Hifiman XS Editions. Would adding something like Schiit Magni+ add much to my listening experience?
Thats nice. I am really torn between a portable dac/amp like mojo2 vs a DAP. People say that DAPS get old really fast, like 3-5 years time while a portable DAC with my phone would be best. Whats your opinion on this? How would it compare a DAC like CM18p or Mojo2 with the sony WM1ZM2? Im between the SP3000M/T and the sony now for DAPS and CM18p or mojo 2 for portable DAC if going this route or maybe another suggestion. thanks in advance
I think Pud is early in the 3D gaming tech where someones room will encapsulate the player in an omnimoving floor and precisely placed speakers and sub for FPS COD
Joe easily wins reviewer of the year. Hands down has done the most work in the community (while maintaining a full time job) His word has become gospel for me
@ Huh? I just paid him compliments and agree with what he talks about most of the time. I’ve been collecting headphones for years before I came across Joes channel. His objective opinions are generally spot on.
10:57 Find a way to power the Bass Medallion & Dolbus with a Mass Kobo 465 off a car battery, in a backpack. Build it & they will cu-...AHEM! I mean, "come".
I would never ever pay more than 1K for a headphone. For 1K I can get a flagship smartphone which it can do much more than a headphone. I can pick RTX 4080 or 5080 graphics card for 1K which it has astonishing technology. Thanks DMS for mentioning headphones with reasonable prices
What are you guys talking about ? Modern chinese IEMs costing 100-200 bucks sound much better than all this old stuff like Sennh 6XX (which instead of bass have a midbass rumble and synthetics in the midrange) 😆
I had to wait 10ish months, that's only cause I emailed them 4 times, mimic audio pushed back my order 3 times for 3 months each and then Ryan got involved and finally sent me a unit! Do NOT buy from Mimic Audio. If I never emailed I still wouldn't have them!!!
2025 is so ready for Dolbus + Bass Medallion 😂
Holy hell yeah!
Perfect for the work commute by public transport!
❤😊im
He looked like a techno rapper 😮 it had to happen 😊

Thanks and see you at the next one!

@@TheVeganVicar thank you. And happy new year
dolbus + bass medallion review when
Thanks for having me on! Love this video and everyone’s picks. Happy new year! 🎉
Methinks I'll take the Theiaudio Origin over that contraption of yours at 11:00
been following Pud for a while on reddit, he’s definitely the best addition to the community in forever 😂
The bass medallion sent me 😂
PUD is literally the single best part of the video with the bass medallion 😂
It's a cool idea to have everyone come together to do a collab for the end of the year like. Really enjoyed it! I gotta say though, I wouldn't mind hearing your own picks, Josh!
Great idea to share your platform with other content creators. Audiophiles are different breeds. Happy new year
Thanks guys, thanks Josh for bringing us these guys. Happy 2025 everyone.
Great video to close out the year. Thank you! Glad you're back Josh. HNY all.
The Caldera Open is absolutely intoxicating. I'll be selling every other pair I've got and taking a break from the hobby in 2025. Great vid!
Awesome video. Happy new year 🎉 PUD’s 3rd recommendation 😂😂😂
Loved this video! Pud just killed it- that was epicly hilarious!! Hahah
glad you're doing better josh! wishing you a healthy start to the new year
I hope to see the Dark Matter Audio Labs IEM(s) featured on this channel as well. Pretty much nothing on the net so far. Cool to see Zach share his love for the Meze Elite :)
Take care and wishing you complete recovery….thank you for your good work Joshua!
Glad you are feeling better man and Happy New Years!
I hope you are doing better already, Josh. Thanks for the great content, guys!
PUD!!! So glad he started making videos

lol I didn't catch that the first time
Glad to see your okay and Happy New Year 2025 📈🥳🎉

First time im seeing Pud and already love the guy!😂
Bass medallion… Enough said! 😂Happy New Year for 2025
10:47 True 5.1 surround sound is awesome for games and movies. Games like Battlefield 2042 and Helldivers 2 have excellent surround sound implementation.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much tism in one place this was awesome
Watching this with my Skullcandy Crusher EVO and the "bass medallion" part reach 3.5 on the Richter scale!
Haha amazing
Is either the bass medallion, or laid back on the floor with my subwoofer on top....guess the madallion looks way cooler..have a great year Josh
One of the best headphones videos of the year
Is the base medallion available???
ZMF is next on my list, not sure if I can get a pair shipped to Europe?
They ship to Europe, and also have vendors located there who you can order from.
Just replaced my HD 800 S with the Arya Organic, absolutely love it and everything I've ever wanted the HD 800 S to be.
you mean even brighter?
@chungang7037 it's really not though. I hear things I haven't heard before in songs. Also the bass blows the HD800S away.
It's the sound of your brain melting!!!! 😁
@@Find_the_Door Dude....even by graphs, if you are into those, it is bright AF. I demoed them, I suppose it coud work for some genres but everything I heard using real instruments messed with the timbre something fierce.
That was fun! Happy New Year!!!
If you don't Mastering Music after production, why you need neutral Sound?
The true MVP and product of the century is the ROOMs Audio headphone stand that Gadgetry Tech has on his table.
I feel you, I got one for my Arya Organic and I love it!
Lol I saw that and was thinking I need that headphone stand too.. Thank yo for the name of it
Happy new year josh, love ur content!
Happy new year 🎉
Sorry you've been sick / glad you;re getting better
Awesome to see ETA getting some love, I daily a pair of rhe Mini Cs and adore rhem. It's also really cool to be lucky enough to have met some of the folks chiming in here, hopefully I'll get to meet a few more some time!
What is that stand that Golden is using?
I have just purchased yet to receive a Focusrite Solo Gen 4 for an audio interface and have a range of budget headphones SPH9500, DT990 Pro, DT770 PRO and Truthear Zero IEMs but I was thinking of adding some Hifiman XS Editions. Would adding something like Schiit Magni+ add much to my listening experience?
Happy new year. Pls review Fiio ft1 pro
Bass medallion 😂😂😂 W
Proud owner of a Mimic edition Double Sided Tungsten!!! It’s my daily drive!
Yeah PUD had me dying @ 10:00😅

Hope, you feel better, pneumonia has been brutal this year.
Which DAC AMPs are they using that accept meze's boom microphone ? Most audiophile grade stuff doesn't have TRRS.
Love to see GadgetryTech on!
Flava flav would love that medallion 😂
7:30 Even though I've never heard it, the price alone makes me tear up.
Excellent video Josh.
I think Pud is early in the 3D gaming tech where someones room will encapsulate the player in an omnimoving floor and precisely placed speakers and sub for FPS COD
petition for josh to review dolbus + bass medallion helm armor combo
Is this Modhouse HP for 2k really better than the HEKse for 1650???
Can you recommend an IEM?
My DCA E3s are life changing
Why no Resolve? Crinacle? Badseed?
Joe easily wins reviewer of the year. Hands down has done the most work in the community (while maintaining a full time job)
His word has become gospel for me
You shouldn't be so easily led. They are just opinions at the end of the day - make your own mind up.
@ Huh? I just paid him compliments and agree with what he talks about most of the time. I’ve been collecting headphones for years before I came across Joes channel. His objective opinions are generally spot on.
Raal immanis with Mola Mola tambaqui anf Feliks Audio Envy is the way to go 🔥
Bass medallion 2025 lets gooo
Bass Medallion FTW
The HiFiMan HE1000 Unveiled would probably be my end game
11:00 Methinks I'll take the Theiaudio Origin over that contraption.
Dude -- that purp drip that @tylereclectic is rocking is so sick!!
Pud with a X9000 , what a chad
10:57 Find a way to power the Bass Medallion & Dolbus with a Mass Kobo 465 off a car battery, in a backpack. Build it & they will cu-...AHEM! I mean, "come".
Ok pud seemed aight but then he introduced the bass and just flew lmao
The OG HD800 is amazing for the money. I'm not a fan of 800S though.
why? Sorry my poor english :)
Gadgetry Tech the goat 🐐
DMS the Stach I love it
DMS looks like cosplaying Arthur Morgan

Lets give it up to FIIO
its almost impossible to get a modhouse tungsten.
The forehead is legendary 😂
What are you guys talking about ? Modern chinese IEMs costing 100-200 bucks sound much better than all this old stuff like Sennh 6XX (which instead of bass have a midbass rumble and synthetics in the midrange) 😆
I need to not be not-so-poor to get some of these multi-kilobuck setups.
What about Zeus, why didn't you contact him?
We want they famous Joshua tier list! Please?
If golden sound says “whilst” one more time I’m going to lose my fucking mind
Hope you feeling better.
we need more bass
"I do not own one, although it has my name on it" Golden Sound.. sorry that's bullshit, they should give you one!!
You may want to look into lungwort and mullein herbs for lung health.
FIRST! 🎉
🥳🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉🥳

Such a shame you guys skipped RAAL 1995 Immanis -.-
♥
wow. No HE-1 appraiser this time.
🫶 looking forward to 2025
Bokeh (and PURPLE) for the win!
Amen brotherrrrr!!!!!
Tyler and his purple ZMF headphones 😍😍
Dolbus you say I was born rea…
Making an all fav without Immanis…. only tells us that Aleksandar still not very into giving you a review unit hahaa
6 month wait time for the Tungsten is disgusting
It’s 9 months
I had to wait 10ish months, that's only cause I emailed them 4 times, mimic audio pushed back my order 3 times for 3 months each and then Ryan got involved and finally sent me a unit! Do NOT buy from Mimic Audio. If I never emailed I still wouldn't have them!!!
lol "very romantic"
"needs more voltage than it needs wattage" goodness.. audiophiles, suspending the natural laws of physics since 1950whatever lol.
