  1. You have no idea how much I thank you for measuring the clamping force and adding it to the tests.
    I had surgery on my jaw years ago and I can’t use a lot of headsets because of the pain and your measures just make sense to what I felt and might allow me to not consider a lot of the headphones there.

  2. You have to be at the level of views and success of Marques. Also, the huge difference is your honest approach of a wide range of products. Pretty through information, with high quality in terms of details of each one of the products you show. CONGRATULATIONS. Wish I could watch this vid when I was deciding to buy an OEH. I decided to buy the XM6 and overall I love them but: after hours using it, I end up a bit fatigued because of how tighten they feel. I wish you could visit and do a video about the Logitech G325? I am considering those for the sake of their light feel. Thoughts? ❤ Keep on with the amazing work you are doing. Cheers. 🎉
