The most daring of all headfonia.com just published a super thorough review of our (most twisted) StereoPravda SPearphone SB-3.5RU.
To quote: “…The StereoPravda SB-3.5 RU like its brothers will never win a beauty contest or get an award for comfort but the SB-3.5 RU isn’t about that. Misha’s “No pain, no Gain” philosophy is what it is but if you can handle that you can be sure to get a very nice and unique high-end sounding IEM with a sound signature you’ve never heard before. A fine example of a technical masterpiece”.
Happy New Year! All the best in 2022!
