TAXI TV has been āon the airā for at least 13 years, and weāve never done an episode featuring a pair of earphones. The reason is; Iāve never heard any that were impressive enough to tell you about. But now I have, and this week Iām going to share them with you!
While other manufacturers have seemingly tried to improve the listening/hearing experience by building a better āmousetrap,ā Flare Audio studied the āmouseā first. Well, actually, the human ear, and how it degrades sound.
Flareās E-Prototype earphones dramatically reduce the natural distortion the ear canal introduces, and the result is noticeable. The imaging is impressive, the EQ curve sounds balanced and true, ear fatigue is greatly diminished (if not non-existent), and Iām hearing things/parts/instruments Iāve never heard beforeāeven in my beloved Steely Dan songs Iāve used as my control room references for decades.
Want to Win a Pair of Flareās E-Prototypes?
Flareās Co-Founder, Davies Roberts is staying up very late (in the U.K.) to join us for this live episode (4pm Pacific time), and heās going to give away a pair or two of E-Prototypes! Weāll also play the video Flare used for their GofundMe campaign and do a lot of Q&A with Davies, and hopefully, his wife and Co-Founder, Naomi.
Can You Tell Iām Excited to Turn You on to Flare?
I was introduced to the E-Prototypes by a close friend whoās done high-level audio restoration for Warner Bros. and several other companies for decades. Heās got very discerning ears and insisted that I check his E-Prototypes out. I did, and the rest, as they say, is history!
