Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones Review

Although Sony already had the best noise-canceling headphones on the market, it did not prevent it from producing their heir – Sony WH-1000XM3.

Real Reason Why Vinyl Sounds Better Than A CD – Detailed Explanation

How it looks to us, and this became a general conclusion when we read various audiophile forums and blogs, it is not a matter of the vinyl record itself or of a CD. The thing is in audio production.
