MOZero Wireless Headphone Review
Grover Neville  |  May 20, 2019  |  0 comments
My first impression of the MOZero was a casual run-in at a local audio store. Nothing struck as particularly extraordinary at first, $150 USD wireless Bluetooth headphones with some active noise-cancelling capabilities. Then I listened to them.

Grover Neville  |  Apr 30, 2019  |  6 comments
I’ve been looking forward to writing this review since I got these headphones. While there are community members and reviewers who like to flirt with questions like ‘the best headphone ever’ and other superlatives, I find myself more drawn to gear that is quietly exceptional for its intended purpose.

I stopped at the Mr. Speaker’s booth to say hi to the owner Dan Clark, who I respect immensely for his tireless efforts in pursuit of good sound.

I mean, if you were ask the average person thinking of dropping $250 USD on a pair of the just announced Powerbeats Pro headphones, I’m pretty sure they’d say that those qualify as audiophile, but you’d probably have to explain what that even means…

Grover Neville  |  Feb 11, 2019  |  12 comments
With the 2019 Grammy’s just passed and a recent New York Times op-ed bemoaning the loudness wars and poor sound quality of today’s top artists, I figured it was the perfect time to put together a list of music recommendations.
