    Even if you don't like Zeos's weeabo persona, I think it is easy to tell how his reviews could appeal to those who are new to headphones and audio in general. There aren't too many youtube headphone reviewers out there so it makes sense that a reviewer with an distinct personality could amass a following even if his content is not all that subsatantive. Someone who is new to this circle might not immediately realize that many of his videos are just hype and therefore buy into what he says. I think that this is the type of audience he is trying to attract and in that regard he has been very successful. The majority of the people here seem to dislike him however I don't think he intends his videos towards viewers who frequent SBAF.

    Ether way he is wrong for blatantly trying to profit from his reviews, this does no good to the audio community as a whole.

    The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

    That's nothing! Try recording that quote on analogue tape and playing it backwards at 1/3rd the recording speed!

    Someone with time on their hands should play Zeos' videos backwards to determine what, if any, subliminal messaging they contain.

    Its enough of a waste of time to play them forwards, but maybe if they are played backwards we get the time we wasted back?

    Some of them might make more sense played backwards.

    Oh f**k me. Zeo's trying to talk about time alignment and how tweeters make faster noises than woofers is f'ing amazing.

    Um hold on... the speed of sound is always the same, in the same fluid.
    Frequency doesn't matter at all.

    I just noticed that he currently earns nearly $3k a month putting out these videos.

    He probably give a bunch of that back to Google. Every audio themed playlist I end up going down ends up back to Z reviews...

    We will see what he thinks of the Valhalla 2. For some reason, I sent mine to him to review, should be getting it back soon, and review coming out soon.

    would be real funny if he ends up saying you have to be a patreon supporter to see the video, @spwath
