808 Audio is one of the new brands taking a shot at consumer audio claiming they offer studio quality sound at a consumer price. As an audiophile, I am rather skeptical of this but budget headphones that sound great certainly exist and it is possible that 808 Audio delivers on their promise. Before doing a review on any gear from a brand we don't know, we always do a little background research to see what type of company we are working with to give us a bit of a heads up on what to expect.
