What’s Kraken! In this video I’m recapping my full CanJam New York 2026 experience—and yeah, I brought the Skeeb23 family along because we turned it into a mini vacation. Before I jump into the gear, I give a big shoutout to the Head-Fi crew for putting on the biggest New York CanJam I’ve personally been to. Also quick note: all the photos/B-roll were shot on my phone (S24 Ultra), and everything I’m sharing is surface-level impressions—CanJam is loud, distracting, and it’s just not the same as a real review at home. From there I run through a ton of headphones and IEMs I managed to demo (around 24–25 off my list), and I call out what really hit for me and what didn’t connect. Highlights include the Head(Amame) Pro Kickstarter headphone that surprised me hard on comfort and sound, the HiFi for All Dahlia V2 (my “best of show” pick considering price/performance), and ZMF’s Tessadera plus the upcoming AirMid OTL amp—which I’m super excited about. I also share quick thoughts on Nur’s pricey planars, HiFiMan’s new Wi-Fi headphone concept (tested over USB-C at the show), Abyss Diana TC Signature on Woo’s new WA12 Zircon, Audio-Technica ADX3000/ADX5000 comparisons, and a handful of IEMs like the Flip Ears Aisha.
