PSA Windows Media Player is a pretty good software to searching for information on your old CD and ripping them to FLAC... it works better than MediaMonkey....

But some ultimately cannot be found.. and I had to go dig out 20+ years old CD cover... take picture then use Google Translate on it to fill in manually the song name...

Lucky only the first disc of the 3 CD compilation cannot find... the rest got information that Media Player can pull but 2nd disc a lot of weird mistakes. And the black 2 CD package.. they just input the name of the anime and that's it.... can't be bother to go edit and key in the actual name of the song. :sick:

Sennheiser sounds quite nice lor.. I am listening to HD599 SE... and of course the comfort because of the large ear cups. I cannot stand earpads resting on my ears.. it feels irritating...

There's a 2022 reddit thread that recommend other KZ model at similar price range

KZ x CRN (ZEX Pro) or the KZ ZSX "Terminator

Or other models like CCA CRA
Zex Pro is 3 type of drivers, Dynamic Driver, BA and Electrostatic or something and this is one of the one with controversy surrounding it... ZSX is DD x 1 and BA x 5.

CCA CRA if I am not wrong is just single dynamic driver and there is a updated version call CRA+.

I suggest CCA Rhapsody over the other similar hybrid simply because of the dual dynamic drivers... that will give better bass response. :p

Dunno why so many audiophile love using this Diana Krall song as reference to test their audio equipment..

Probably same as Cai Qin song. :ROFLMAO:

Spinfit W1 L size is back in stock on Amazon SG, it is local stocks shipped by Amazon... and the best part is the price it is $12.49, so it is kinda the cheapest you can find.

These are the tech that US brands like Shure and Westone used to sell at 700++ per pair of earphones. Imagine how much profit they earned over the decades
