Maya Chen
Audio & Earbuds Specialist · 11+ years in audio hardware & earbuds testing
Maya Chen is TechReviewDaily's Audio & Earbuds Specialist. She has profiled hundreds of headphones using published measurement databases and repeatable listening notes — frequency balance, isolation, and how ANC behaves on airplanes versus office HVAC rumble.
She explains codec support (AAC, aptX, LC3) without pretending every listener can hear the difference on every phone. Maya's rankings call out fit fatigue, multipoint reliability, and microphone quality on windy sidewalks — details glossed over in glossy lifestyle photos.
For gaming headsets she separates positional audio hype from practical wireless latency on consoles and PC. Maya is clear that TRD audio coverage aggregates measurement literature and long-term owner sentiment; she does not operate an anechoic chamber on site, but she will not publish mystery 'lab scores' without sources.
