WE CAN’T START this review without first confronting the elephant in the room: that price tag. The words “expensive” and “audiophile” have a tight-knit relationship, so are we truly shocked by the $1,299 cost? Audeze is well known for its high-end planar magnetic headphones and is well respected by the audiophile community. These aren’t the brand’s first in-ear headphones, but do the Euclids live up to Audeze’s reputation?
When spending over $1000, you’d hope that at least part of that money would go toward the unboxing experience, though sadly, it’s underwhelming for the Euclids. They come in a flimsy cardboard carton that belies what lurks within. When you’ve gone past this cheap packaging, you are met by a clear hardshell carry case showcasing the brand’s logo. We have to hand it to Audeze here because this heavy-duty case should keep the Euclids safe and sound.
They also come with a great selection of accessories and cables. In the box, you get an MMCX braided cable, a 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced cable, a Cipher Bluetooth module, a 1/4-inch TRS adapter, a mesh carry case as well as the hard-shell one, a variety of ear tips, a cleaning brush, and a clip. That’s quite an assortment and demonstrates good attention to detail from Audeze that should provide you with all the gear you need to start using the Euclids.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
