Yamaha HPH MT7W Review

Designed to be the “NS-10s” of over the ear headphones, the Yamaha HPH MT7W provide a neutral, flat midrange frequency response reminiscent of the classic monitors they were modeled after. Built out of a thick ABS housing, synthetic leather, and rigid die-cast aluminum support-arms, the HPH MT7Ws are incredibly durable and ideal for studio and live monitoring use.

ESO Strap Review

Specialty guitar straps have been around for a while now, but it’s not often you see one built with the comfort and ease of the guitar player in mind, which is exactly what the ESO strap seems to target.

Tapestry Audio Bloomery Review

Constructed from solid steel, Bloomery is extremely heavy duty and weighs a hefty 2.7 pounds.

However, we weren’t prepared for how good these monitors sounded and how different they would make us think about mixes.
