I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.

April Fools! 😂😂
You had me going! You do make a valid point about performance though.
You pulled this joke off so well 😂 Leading off with a serious talk, reviewing your 🦄and then pulling the chain at the very end. LOVE IT!
Hahaha, You totally Got Me!!! Thanks for the morning laugh!!! 😂
Happy 🦄 April 1st 😎
Remember: You have to take this down by noon today. You can put it up again next year. That's the law.
Now we need a review of these earbuds vs Delta buds.
Unicorn buds are unbeatable.
You almost convinced me about the fantastic earbuds 😂😂😂😂.
And congratulations for your reflections in the video, I agree.
In today's market you can get excellent sound results by spending much less than a few years ago.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Brilliantly handled.
Thanks
Oh man I'll need to look into my neglected sets and see what I am missing out on.
Maybe there's an 🦄 waiting to be discovered.
Hope you had a happy Easter :)
I did. Hope you did as well.
🦄🦄🦄
Aaaahh.. you bastard, you got me…gahhh!
Who else still rocking freebie bundled Samsung x AKGs? My 🦄

This is the problem of watching on the 2nd April.
🤣🤣👍👍
Oh god I have the internet lies day.
Back to normal tomorrow. Enjoy the fun today.
You didnt talk abt how it performs with different sources smh...
Watch till the end and you'll understand
@@TheHonestAudiophile i know, im just doubling down on the joke 🤣
Needs 4V and at least 2000mW to really open up the soundstage and maximize bass authority
What iem is that
Looks like a dollar store cheapie.
Some random no name earbud my company threw in an appreciation package for me.
I highly recommend you watch the last 15 seconds of the video.
