As some of you already know, we’ve started a [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt44wdefZzrhNDYYAyEy3Xg) called ‘The HEADPHONE Show’ for reviews, news, information, and conversations about headphones, as well as events coverage and related activities. We’ll also be doing some live streams here as well as Q&A interviews with key figures and community members. Additionally, we’re currently looking into turning some of this content into podcasts or other accessible formats that aren’t strictly video-related so you can hear the dulcet tones of my voice along with those from other community members wherever you are (on your favorite headphones!). For anyone wanting our livestream episodes in podcast form, along with a number of educational videos that require less of a visual component, here’s [the HEADPHONE Show Podcast](https://theheadphoneshow.fireside.fm/) I’ll be compiling all the videos published on this channel here so it’s easy for anyone to access or reference. Look forward to more content in the future. **Closed-back Shootout:** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/2X/5/58f5b0f0fb86bb037b2a222953c73917656e5e0d.jpeg "High End Closed-Back Headphone Shootout: Sennheiser vs Focal vs Dan Clark Audio") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAg5vaCJmqY) **Review Process:** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/7/0/700bde42ea324e9b5aaf578d7828d807a6622d51.jpeg "My process for reviewing headphones") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fp8KWRBAe8) **Audeze LCD-1 Review:** [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/f/a/faa40e5ad41ed41a899e975f770350903f9ae472.jpeg "Audeze LCD-1 Portable Planar Headphone Review -
