    But I’m pretty sure one of them is NOT “euphoric”. It’s “euphonic”.

    The sound is euphonic. You feel euphoric.

    Yes, semantics I know, but just one of those pet peeves.

    I fought the nauseous/nauseated battle for a long time, but when people misuse english enough, they just change the dictionary now.

    Yep, I think we all have our personal pet peeves. I have noticed the “euphoric” thing too. For me, mine is “blackground”. Nails on a chalkboard!

    It just mean pleasing to a said listener. If I know his/her preference then this word may have a value. Otherwise it's super vague BS term.

    Reviews without relative comparisons to known references are the worst.

    That's exactly it @E_Schaaf. Without comparison to a known reference, impressions are worthless. It's like trying to read a headphone frequency response plot without knowing the compensation
