Z Reviews
1689018028458.png

Zeos Pantera, whose real name is Andrew, is a popular YouTube personality. He gained a significant following for his "entertaining" approach to reviewing audio equipment, particularly headphones, speakers, amplifiers and DACs.
It's worth noting that his opinions on audio equipment can be subjective and that many audiophiles will never consider his ramblings as reviews.
If you love scantily clad anime characters and a barrage of f-bombs, this may just be the channel for you.
