[@SuperReview]

Love this technical content and a manufacturer encouraging customer use of measurements 🤙 And I agree with the comments about consistency over “accuracy.”

[@mrpaman_Kwon]

This is very good video clip for all of Monitor engineers.

[@seanceeee]

Excellent!!!!! Explained in a very simplified manner!!

[@NicholasRadina]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@parp2323]

[@amirfakhribadri7994]

Thanks given link maybe easy to me to created measurement . Sometimes not all ok is .

[@AuricularesArgentina]

Is it posible to buy the ring adaptor, i have the same test rig

[@64Audio]

I'd reach out to us at [e-mail], it's possible but we'll need to make sure.

[@ubacow7109]

I JH going to be making universal fit products anymore? Or products for the audiophile market?

[@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices]

Are you planning to make all your products VEGAN?

[@ubacow7109]

I'm concerned that vegans think there's meat in headphones

[@JtwasLuck]

No one cares, real leather is quite sustainable

[@TheVeganVicar]

@@ubacow7109, veganism is NOT a diet.
There is NO SUCH thing as a “vegan diet”, because veganism is purely a moral stance against the undue use and abuse of animals in any way, such as parading them in a circus or zoological park, stealing their milk or eggs, and of course, needlessly slaughtering them and feeding on their bloody carcasses. Therefore, if you equate veganism with a DIET, then you have absolutely no idea of what you speak!

Seems to me you need a psychotherapy session of your own

@@sylfraeaveniore2684, it seems that you are unable to PUNCTUATE a simple sentence, Misjudgmental Fool. 🤡
