Customer Reviews
This was an absolute joy to attend. The amount of trivia and getting to relive the songs I grew up listening to as a teenager was worth every second and rupee I spent. Highly recommended. Also you get to hear these on the very best audio equipment in the world. What more can a Amit Trivedi fan ask for?
Hey Ujjwal,
So glad you loved the listening session & our equipment. Swing by again sometime soon. Cheers!
2 major reasons why I love these experiences.
1. Listening to great music followed by their amazing introduction and insider stories by Raghav. Like listening to a modern version of Anu Kapoor describe stories.
2. I get to listen to headphones I would like to buy as well as aspirational ones. This is like getting a test ride for a Bugatti Chiron.
Hey Varun,
Thank you for appreciating our efforts & we are glad that you had a fun time. Cheers!
This was the first time my wife & I attended these experience sessions and we walked out thoroughly impressed, having just had a surreal 3-hour experience listening to Amit Trivedi's songs. Sure, at face value, it sounds like you just sit down to listen to a bunch of songs on headphones, but to me, what puts this whole experience on a whole another level is Raghav's commentary before each song. His trivia & details really add a new dimension to each song, and then when you listen to these tracks on Headphone Zone's high-quality gear, you really get to know all the layers & depth the music has. You'll be surprised how many instruments you didn't even know existed in the song.
Overall, I highly recommend these experience sessions to everyone and I can't wait to attend the next one.
@Raghav & team: You should do one session dedicated for Coke Studio (both India and PK) songs.
Hey Preshit,
Great to know that you & your wife had a wonderful time, do swing by for more experiences or just to hang out in our studio.
We all have grown up listening to Rahman. But what makes this listening session special is the amount of information you learn from Raghav. Having grown up in Chennai, he has known Rahman like most in the north don’t. He also has a ton of inside stories from first hand sources that make this a joy. Spoiler: There is no way you can cover everything in the given 3 hours. Nonetheless this was a joy! Highly recommended!
Hey Ujjwal,
Thank you for the great review, it's an absolute delight to know that you loved the session. Hope to see you soon!
Attending the "Rediscover John Mayer" guided listening session by Headphone Zone at the relaxing Moly cocktail Bar was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming staff, including Karan, Ian, and CEO Raghav, made us feel right at home. They expertly guided us through their extensive collection of IEMs and amp/DACs, making the selection process enjoyable and informative.
The thoughtful organization was evident, from QR codes for the playlist to wipes for maintaining hygiene. Ian's session was a deep dive into John Mayer's life and music, showcasing his journey from discovering his musical calling to winning multiple Grammy awards. Ian's passion and well-researched presentation brought Mayer's pain and artistry to life through the music.
The evening was topped off perfectly with India's cricket team victory, making it a truly memorable night. I highly recommend these listening sessions or audio tours to anyone, whether you're an audiophile or not. You'll be hooked!
Headphone Zone, please keep organizing more events like this, especially with your exceptional open-back headphones. #AudioExperience #HeadphoneZone #JohnMayer #Audiophiles #ListeningSession
