Best Audiophile Chinese Voices Vol.3
Violetta Wagganer
Final Audio ZE3000 [**] (One of the best TWS earbuds for audiophiles or critical listening. It has perfect tuning and is neutral without being boring. Just be warned that they don't have any features other than playing music - Although for their price of around 130$ that is forgivable)
Thanks to its voice assistant support, you can activate this speaker using only your voice. It understands your commands clearly, even if you're in a noisy environment or on the other side of the room. As for its sound, it offers an impressive reproduction of voices and lead instruments, so you get a clear and balanced sound overall. Bass and treble knobs on the speaker itself let you adjust its sound to your liking, and there's also a graphic EQ for this purpose in the JBL One app. Overall, this feature-packed speaker is a little much for those who want a simpler smart speaker, but it stands out as among the best.
This speaker gives you access to lots of premium sound enhancement tools. Room correction is available to optimize the speaker's sound based on your room's unique acoustics. The full feature is only available with iOS devices, but Android users get access to a simpler alternative. If you prefer, bass and treble adjustments let you manually adjust for any changes in the sound. It's also the best-sounding smart speaker we've tested, which is great if you're an avid audiophile. This speaker is still one of the best, so it's probably a little much if you're looking for a simple plug-and-play device to listen to music. Still, it's worth a look.
That said, for the price difference, the Echo Gen 4 doesn't perform quite as well as the Studio. Its default frequency response is fair, with clear reproduction of voices and lead instruments, but there's a little extra boominess in the bass that isn't ideal for everyone. You can still customize its sound with the Amazon Alexa app, which is nice. However, it still doesn't get as loud as the Studio, so it's best suited for listening in smaller-sized rooms. You can always check out the best Google Assistant speaker we've tested in the budget range, the Google Nest Audio, while Siri fans can look at the Apple HomePod mini. All three speakers perform similarly, but the Amazon speaker's voice assistant performance is a touch better overall.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Live from the Northwest, 1959 is the newest release from Brubeck Editions, the family run label that only puts out music of the highest musical and technical quality. These exciting performances were recorded by the trailblazing and iconic audio engineer, Wally Heider, who pioneered the art of remote recording from his "studio on wheels". The sound he achieved is stellar, and this is perhaps the best live recording you can hear of one of the most popular jazz groups of all time. The tapes were recorded in April 1959 at the Multnomah Jazz Club and Clark College, both in the Portland Oregon area. Four months later, the Dave Brubeck Quartet recorded their legendary LP, Time Out, and changed the course of jazz forever. This new LP showcases the poll-winning quartet at the peak of their improvisational powers, especially demonstrating their unique mastery of improvising counterpoint (a musical device updated from Bach) while swinging through jazz standards and original compositions.
These master musicians, (Dave along with Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright and Joe Morello) transcend time. The new Live from the Northwest - 1959 LP is sure to be a hit with audiophiles, Dave Brubeck fans, jazz aficionadas and lovers of great and timeless music around the world. Listening to this new release, you will feel like you are sitting in the jazz club fully immersed in high fidelity sound, on a night when the incomparable Dave Brubeck Quartet was firing on all cylinders!
