About
Hey there! I’m Odi, the Founder of RecordingNOW.com, a tech blog that was originally founded in 2014, and focuses on consumer audio reviews. We also launched a new YouTube channel in 2025.
We’re on a mission to create one of the largest databases of honest, unbiased consumer audio product reviews of headphones and wireless earbuds, detailed head-to-head comparisons, custom EQ settings, and overall rankings to help you make a more informed purchase.
We use the words “honest” and “unbiased” because we purchase every product we review with our own money.
Since I have a background in pro audio as a music producer, audio engineer, composer, and musician, I want to use this domain knowledge to help elevate these reviews, especially when discussing sound quality.
Using this background, I aim to get the most sound quality potential out of each headphone by creating custom EQ (equalizer) settings for each headphone or earbud that has a native built-in custom EQ (via their smartphone app). Which many of you seem to be enjoying:
How We Test (Methodology)
- First, we purchase each product we review with our own money.
- Second, we conduct up to hundreds of hours testing the headphones or earbuds. Initially in stock form, then custom EQ settings are dialed in to extract the most sound quality potential.
- Next, we use our proprietary Scoring System to rate each headphone in each individual category (Comfort, Features, Sound Quality, Value). Sound Quality is weighted twice more than any individual category (10 points instead of 5). Then combine the scores to create their “Overall Score”.
Need to Find an EQ Setting?
The latest EQ settings for each product will be found on its individual review. You can also use the Chatbot in the bottom-right of the screen and type in something like “xm6 eq” or “qc ultra eq”. Basically, the “<model name> eq”.
