There was certainly a big PR buzz going around prior to CES promoting Motorheadphones. Rock is bigger than rap; rocker endorsed headphones should be just as big as rapper endorsed cans...one would think.

I'm rough on stuff...very rough. I could break a bowling ball in a padded room. That's why every smartphone and pad I own lives in an Otterbox Defender series case. I was really curious about new stuff from Otterbox, and boy am I glad I stopped by their booth.

My desktop audiophile heart was going pitter-pat by the time I finished lusting over all the cool little boxes at the Pro-Ject booth.

Call me crazy, but I stopped by this booth for a listen. No, I don't need Tupac headphones, but I'll try any headphone once. Glad I did.

Philips fleshes out their Fidelio line of headphones, and brings on some great low cost cans. Good for the kiddies!

With just a few phone calls and emails, I've managed to get my hands on the amazing Stax SR-009 headphones, and some of the world's best electrostatic headphone amps and the gear to make use of them, and set them up my demo room for a week of comparative listening.

Quite the ear opening experience!

Not much in the way of amp measurements this month, but got a fair few headphones on the list. And a bit of a tease on some upcoming reviews.

The surge of rapper and celebrity headphones over the past five years or so has been annoying in the extreme to me. All the glam and glitter has been an enormous distraction from what the actual purpose of a headphone should be: to sound good. We're not going to be able to go backwards though, the fashionistas have raised the bar and a big, black, plastic blob on your head isn't going to cut it anymore. I just wish some company out there would be mature enough to make a headphone with tastefully balanced sound and sophisticated good looks.

With its new Momentum headphone, Sennheiser, it seems to me, is the adult in the room.
