Ever wonder what the world’s most expensive headphone is? Perhaps the Sennheiser Orpheus 2 at $55,000? Nope; according to Focal, it’s the Utopia by Tournaire.

THX is usually associated with certifying the performance of commercial cinemas and consumer audio and video products. But the company is also deeply involved in developing new technologies and licensing them to manufacturers.

I had a good time visiting the Chord booth at CanJam this year. The two British gents including sales manager Colin Pratt were very amicable, even a bit entertaining as far as booth-side stop-and-chats go. They have a lot to be happy about. Chords move into portable/transportable DAC/Amps has been a swift and successful one. 

CanJam Singapore 2017 was the ultimate playground for headphone enthusiasts and music lovers. Here is some of the latest audio gear we saw at the show. Don’t enter if you suffer from impulsive buying disorder.

After a successful gig in New York City, CanJam Singapore 2017, sponsored by Echobox, NXT, and Sennheiser, featured more than 50 retail brands from across the world, there is something for everyone regardless of listening preferences.

Have you ever wondered how much is a pair of the world’s most expensive headphones?

The Focal Utopia by Tournaire, which costs a whopping US$120,000 (S$168,000), is the answer. It will be on display at CanJam Global, the world’s premier headphone audio expo, which returns to Singapore for this year’s edition.

This year was the first CanJam to happen in NYC. . .About 2,000 CanJammers are estimated to have come. 

CanJam NYC was a return to roots in many ways for the personal audio community. . the organizers at CanJam Global had been eyeing a return to the Big Apple with the growing success of their events in Southern California, Denver, London and Singapore. 

I was treated to a demonstration of the Smyth Research Realiser A16 demonstration at CanJam NYC 2017. Nearly everybody who heard the demo had a hard time at first believing the speakers weren’t still on, the surround over headphones was that convincing.
