I care about build quality, why do you ?

Is this still your favorite or do you like something better now?

You find certain sets pleasing and not pleasing not because of the way they're squig line looks but because of your hair cells in your ear for someone like myself who is older I have had years of heavy metal concerts military explosions you name it which have damaged those hairs so I don't pick up sounds the way you would you don't pick up sounds the way I do so each set is going to be unique to everyone I think. I think that's why testing something out is so important but you know not everyone has the ability to do that My opinion on that is find a company like Penon Hifi go that has a fairly robust exchange program so that if you do get you a set of SA6s and you go wow these really don't do what I think you can return them get something different. Good work thanks for everything you'll do

-Well this video didn't age well. Goruck is still here and so is Scars. I have more than a few GR1s and while they cost a lot, they last. I bought both my girls GR1s in High School, they later graduated college with them and still have them. I've had my first one, an og GR1 since 2009. -After numerous deployments and traveled all over the world, I still have it today. Only issue I had was a gusset blew out and Scars addressed the issue, still have it and use it. -I have Recycled Firefighter, Mystery Ranch, TAD, Evergoods, Brown Buffalo.....some don't even compare and none has such a great warranty. I honestly love the simplicity of the bag, I love it has no outside pockets and you could get a Heritage that's slick in canvas. It's expensive but this is the original and very few can compare with this track record. Want a cheap bag, go make one and of this quality and charge less....see how that works out.

Good Review, I love their gear but would prefer it be made in USA. If its USA made on their website its so expensive.

Thanks

Ummm. Ummm. Ummm. Super irritating.

Subscribed, because you said not to.

Totally agree about SCARS - I would be amazed if it's still functional in 5 years. Especially with all the less hard wearing materials they've started to use. 210d is probably not going to hold up over five years, so they are going to get flooded with repairs in a few years.

You forgot malkoff devices!!!

BIG LOSS IF YOU BUY. TOO MUCH FOR COST AND THE REFILL G2 PILOT. The Parker Euro Universal, which sadly and most CONFOUNDINGLY, is called a G-2. WHYYYYYYY????!! Completely stupid. Get a Tactile Turn that handles the Parker. Done and Dusted!

I’m surprised after hearing about how you felt some were nothing special or boring that you’d put okluma and Frelix up over Hanko. The okluma is a dialed down and plain Hanko without the absurd build quality and finish that Hanko does. Just unscrewing the head on a Trident and that feeling of snot on glass smoothness indicates the quality workmanship in his lights that almost nobody else has achieved. There were a few to easily disagree with, but Hanko so low stuck out the worst to me.

Do you think that with a fiio ka5 it moves them well?

Been using these for almost 2 years as my sole IEMs the treble got smoother and found the jvc spiral dots eartips complement the sound opens up the upper mids

my older SF saint cannot be turned off using the knob, it emmits very low lumen light which it should not be producing while using the knob, kinda like a moonlight mode (like 1 0r 2 lumens), normally when i use it its lowest would be 5 lumens approx. I think that is one of the reason why they added a newer switch. i filed a return at the time but shipping it from overseas i am better of buying a new one. lol. i also found a similar case online at the time so maybe mine is not an isolated case.

I got into flashlights about a year ago and have re-watched this video several times as I have progressed through the hobby. Each time it makes more sense. Hope you will make an update.

Nice tads customs adapter. I have one for my A2 but not my e2e

what a waste of money

Did someone's soul escape their body during the intro music? 🤨 🤣 Nice review

Firstly, thanks for the vid brother. I love your vids. I am currently working on finalizing my own proprietary designs for my IEMs for my future acoustics company. I have not worked on adding large amounts of BAs yet however, thinking about the physics, I believe I understand why we the gains from adding more drivers tapers out as we continue to add more. We are trying to force more drivers to use the same channel diameter as single BAs. It is like water in a pipe. At some point, I do not care how strong the pump is, there is a limit to how much fluid you can force to a particular diameter. I believe that we need to focus on developing new technologies for modeling and testing what is really happening along the path of the BAs to our ears. Similar to our abilities to do this with transmission line speakers. Let me know what you think. God bless.

D&C tier, “nothing special” “overpriced.” Proceeds to put Okluma in tier A 😂

I think the musuc you listen to sucks

personally laulima is my favorite, id but them over cwf, i think output matters and prometheus is SEVERELY underpowered

I think your mic is to the left side and its tripping me out 😂

I would rank Mcgizmo higher as I have had several of his lights and still daily carry my Haiku. I owned a Spy007 but sold it after a short time. The UI was great and it was beautiful but what many don't realize is that it is not listed as waterproof!!!!

How do you know

damn your voice.. that vouce is so useful ..is it actual voice or you are using some kind of modulation because your face doesnt your face..no hard feelings

Solid review. Running my Sundaras off a Qudelix 5k balanced and they always impress.

This is one of the most bias reviews i seen so far. Well done. Not

Very surprised to run into this after 3 years out. Kudos for having the balls to come up with this list. Enjoyed the video and agreed and disagreed but really no one is going to align perfectly with you... It was still entertaining for me.

all wallet makers exagerate their wallets compacity lol leather sucks period once it streches you cant carry less shit without stuff falling out

SF is a cult, also once you use Olight you have to go back to SF. That and it's moddability Once you get into the Lumens Factory or Fivemega rabbithole you can't ever have enough Surefire parts

So your review is this wallet mostly sucks. But it’s your edc and you’ll keep using it forever. 😂

HDS needs to design a lightsaber!😃

You still own this ? I’ve love to buy it

You were pretty harsh on most of the makers here. Laulima, Hanko, McGizmo are way cooler than HDS. A lot of it has to do with nostalgia or how accessible a maker is for the little things. I don't actually like the idea that I need to talk to ONE guy to fix my stuff. HDS stuff is all proprietary, which sounds cool on paper, and his service was always fantastic, even better than when it was RA, but I like being able to just buy and replace stuff on my own. This stuff doesn't break and when it does, it's 100% going to be one of the consumeable off the shelf items like a switch. Jason at Prometheus might not have invented custom flashlights but he sorta made them much much more accessible through the popularity contest that is Kickstarter. He also has his own design aesthetic and he's definitely the most detail oriented/obsessed person of the guys I've met. Barrel isn't bad. I mean for them to be on the bottom the product has to actually suck. You're getting what you pay for, the fit and finish is what $500 should be. Okluma is the one thats overrated for me. The light isn't like that aesthetic for me. Availability is actually a huge criteria for me, and anything that hard to get regardless of how much money you have is just annoying. You can buy a Laulima/JC/Oveready right now if you wanted to. Barrel/HDS/Veleno (dude making that stuff is HARD)/Okluma/Malkoff B rank Prometheus(the Delta just plain rocks dude)/Hanko/Fellhoelter/JC/LMC A rank Oveready(the MOFF and the P60 hosts back in the day were state of the art)SPY/McGizmo S rank at the price I don't care about modes or what driver it has really. I find anything more than 3 modes annoying and I just want pocket bling. The Haiku is still the best looking design although JC is really holding his own out there. I think VinhNguyen probably made the entire P60 engine market what it was, what a great guy. you're forgetting Mac's customs. I dont know if he died but that was probably THE guy.

What's is recommend to get in Amazon JP? can be around 50 and 120ish dollars, I play a lot really, i'll send some that i am looking any help will be appreciate; TRIPOWIN×HBB Kailua, TRIPOWIN Olina SE, LETSHUOER DZ4, Kiwi Ears Quartet, 7HZ SONUS, SIMGOT EA500, final VR3000

It is the time for me to get those... I tested them in Germany one year go and price doesn't drop :D

The audio community gotta start calling this guy Choppin instead of Precog 😂

As an outsider looking in, it would appear not much has changed in the last 4 years. Things I'm surprised I don't see much if at all: • Custom input mechanisms beyond clicky switches and twisty (exception: HDS rotary and Cool Fall) • Fancy cooling systems such as liquid or heat pipes to enable longer runtime at high lumen levels • Easier programming (exception: Lux-RC web based programming via light sensor in flashlight) • More powerful programming (e.g. choosing what click, press-and-hold, and double-click do) • Innovative multi-emitter designs with custom optics that let you switch between spot and flood • Qi2 wireless charging • More distinctive shapes made possible with lithium polymer batteries

how can i find a xenon bulb? i can’t find one anywhere

I wonder how many pay for lossless and then listen using bluetooth headphones.

This didn’t age well on Okluma 💀

You've got to try comply tips on the S8. If you're like me, I haven't been a fan in the past due to how they affect a sig but here it's doing it in all the right ways. They have always sounded open and that s8 solidity remains.

Hey Theo, u heard the new Moondrop Dark Saber that's on pre-order anywhere on your recent travels? Looks like a slightly warmer tune, with smooth treble area and decent extension with dual DD set up. Looks interesting...

Loved this video for some reason, I’ve come back to it lol

Love my dc0 but man I’ve been trying to get my hands on a dc1 for so long. Even offering a Rosie for trade nobody will let one go 😂

whats ur working set for bench? btw 146 bw and 245 bench is crazy strength!!

Like for the algorithm!

Love the collab!
