The new model is called the Broadway ($2,299), which is a fully balanced, 1Wpc, pure Class A headphone amplifier that is-get this-battery powered. The Chinese firm XIAudio showed one new headphone amplifier and one expansion option for an existing headphone amplifier at CanJam NYC.
XIAUDIO BROADWAY S DRIVER
Anyway you look at it, the Triple Driver is a lot of headphone for the money. The Triple-Driver headphone features a 40mm dynamic driver with an exotic graphene diaphragm, a supplementary bass driver, which 1MORE terms a “bass reflector”, and a ceramic tweeter. The value-minded firm 1MORE informed us that its newest model is its Triple-Driver over ear headphone ($249), a review sample of which will be headed our way soon. Part Four: /articles/canjam-nyc-2018-show-report-from-ultimate-headphone-guide-part-four/ Part Three: /articles/canjam-nyc-2018-show-report-from-ultimate-headphone-guide-part-three/ Part Two: /articles/canjam-nyc-2018-show-report-from-ultimate-headphone-guide-part-two/ Further, where events are as well attended as CanJam NYC was, it sometimes can be tricky even to gain access to vendors’ demonstration tables, where there can be deep queues of attendees eagerly awaiting their turn to hear new products. The simple fact is that CanJam events have got so big that just one journalist cannot cover them, which means we may have to expand our coverage plans as we move forward. If your firm happens to be one I’ve left out, please know that no slights are intended by my omissions. Let me acknowledge in advance that I was not able to visit all vendors at the show, for which I apologize. What follows is the first of four illustrated descriptions of some of the finest product discoveries I made at CanJam NYC 2018. This also means CanJam events tend to attract a comparatively broad range of enthusiasts, comprising music lovers young and old, male and female, newbies and veterans, well-heeled and not-so-well-heeled-all looking to find better-sounding ways to enjoy the music they love best. Unlike the sort of painfully upper crust, nose-in-the-air ethos that can sometimes spoil traditional high-end audio shows, CanJam events have a much more inviting, discovery-orientated ‘feel’ where attendees typically share a “we’re all participants in this sport” mind set.
Accordingly, CanJam events offer a welcoming and egalitarian vibe where the common denominator is that everyone in attendance cares deeply about music and sound quality and is seeking exposure to the latest in high-performance headphone/personal audio products that span a wide range of price points. My name is Chris Martens and I have the privilege of serving as the Editor-in-Chief of Ultimate Headphone Guide and one of my first official tasks in that new role was to attend and report on the CanJam NYC event held this past weekend (17-18 February, 2018) at the Times Square Marriott Marquis hotel in New York City.ĬanJam NYC is a vibrant event that attracts headphone enthusiasts of all descriptions, ranging from those looking for affordable but high-quality alternatives to the ‘plain vanilla’ earphones that come with many smartphones all the way up to those who own ultra high-performance, multi-thousand dollar/pound/euro headphone systems that deliver astonishingly fine sound. Ultimate Headphone Guide is a new bi-annual publication that represents a joint venture between The Absolute Sound magazine and its sister publication Hi-Fi+.
