I dislike them intensely. I have a pair of $50 Sony WH-CH510 that IMO sound better than the WH-1000XM4. I thought the $350 pair would be a massive upgrade from the $50 pair. Never again will I take notice of the hype.

The power output seems a bit weak to me on my 2020 MacBook Air M1. I’m trying to run a 48 ohm Audio Technica ATH-ADG1X headset (based on ATH-AD900 supposedly) and the SQ sounds a bit hollow. I remember my old 2011 MBP powering my ATH-AD1000 fine. I have to drag out my old 2016 MBP and try it...

It’s been a while since I cared about sound quality. I remember my old set up- lossless > Apogee Duet FireWire > Burson HA-160 > Sennheiser HD-600. This was utter bliss. I bought these Sony’s a couple of weeks ago after reading about all the hype. Tried with AAC 256 from old iPhone SE and Apple...

It’s been a while since I’ve considered anything audio related. Is the Mojo a worthwhile upgrade from a Headamp Pico? Is it brighter than the somewhat dark (to me) Pico? I used to love the sound signature of the 1st gen Apogee Duet.

Hi. It has been years since I posted. I'm more into speakers these days except for when out and about. I'm currently using HF5, but will need a new pair of canal phones soon as I'm down to my last pair. I'm in Vietnam and Etymotics are impossible to get here and I don't want to get expensive...

I personally think coaxial sounds better than optical and the latter sounds better than USB on the same DAC. Optical sounds less smoother and more digital to me. Its all a matter of preference of course. The closer it sounds to vinyl the better for me.    I'd recommend an asynchronous USB...

I don't about customs, but i have a very strong suspicion multi driver iems are very overated. My only experience is with UE super fi 5 pros. I could see why some might think they like them, but I thought they were just a gimmick. I couldn't stand the bigger dynamic range within my ear.   ...

Thread bump.    I've had a PM-75 for a couple of years. I didn't think much of it at first, but after listening to it and the accompanying CD-80 CD player recently, I've changed my mind. My tastes have certainly changed in that time, going from very bright to much less bright.   I used...

I quite like this Canadian band. They broke up after 2 albums unfortunately.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diableros   I always buy albums from Canadian bands when I find them. 

It's you. Sorry. You're doing it wrong.   You are clearly not getting a proper seal. Some people just don't like sticking thing in their ears too far and i suppose there's not a lot you can do about it, unless you can overcome that aversion.    Why not try the over ear Audio Technica...

I can't understand why some are so paranoid about security. Have there been precedents in the past that necessitate these actions?    I don't think i will be able to make it. I am caring for an elderly father and I had planned to bring him along, but it is a long drive and it won't be fair...

If this fellow is arguing from a position of faith, I'd say he's playing you. He trying to manipulate you into his way of thinking, when he should accept and love you with any conditions whatsoever.    I don't know your connection with this person, but i'd tell him to go jump. This sort of...

If Apple continues on its relentless juggernaut towards world domination, there will not be any options. You are to commended for  choosing the less travelled road. Damn you apple and your sexy designs, friendly user interface and innovative technology.     Where are you located? 

What format is your music currently in? ie, CDs MP3, AAC, FLAC etc.   You said you own a iphone 3Gs? 

Pardon me for being contrary, but I take exception to the term filler. I prefer to term those songs that are a little bit more challenging and take longer to appreciate, but when you do- wow. My dislike is when listening to an new album i find familiar songs on it.    As for otherwise...
