Lightning to USB-C - For Audeze and other lightning headphones
How exactly does this work? Lightning headphones need a built-in dac, right? So it’s the lightning sac that’s used?- lostman

Shinola (w/ Campfire Audio) Canfield IEM & Canfield Pro IEM
Those do look cool! Couldn't find any info about the Pros on their website though. I hope they're also made of stainless steel. Since this is a collaboration with CA I'm interested!- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
Have to side with choisan on this. I asked Fitear about it before. Not possible. Very Japanese! They already make all those cables so it is weird. But I'm a Westerner and one thing I learned is Japan is Japan :) Personally I hate waste. Spending money doesn't bother me but buying something...- lostman

Astell&Kern XB10 Extreme Bluetooth Adapter
I was wondering whether it would be possible to buy a custom cable that would be short enough so I could keep the adapter attached to the collar. While it might look a little bit weird it should be quite convenient. Any ideas who could make such cable?- lostman

Acoustic Research AR-E10/AR-E100
Just saw that these come with Bluetooth cable! That's pretty cool! However, the player supports aptX HD but the bluetooth cable does not. That's unfortunate since I've seen them sold as bundle- lostman

There are some reviews but I haven't seen any photos of how would one actually wear this. I wonder how it looks/feels since the control pod is a bit big.- lostman

JVC Bluetooth neckband MMCX cable with K2 technology
I saw it show up on Japanese websites recently: http://www.e-earphone.jp/shopdetail/000000158841 It looks interesting! I'd like some confirmation whether K2 upscaling is actually worth something before I'd buy one though. Synthetic leather neckband and braided cables are a nice touch. I wonder...- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
I again wonder what the impact of better source would be. First time I listened with my phone, Nexus 5X, which is generally rather bad but works OK with some efficient earphones. The second time I brought my laptop but didn't have any external DAC/AMP. The impression Air 2 left on me then was...- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
AnakChan: it's interesting that you say Air 2 has bass weight. That's completely opposite to my impression. It sounded good enough to derail my plan to purchase MH335DW but couldn't get myself to drop 160K JPY due to lack of bass. I went back and forth and compared it to my favorite non-custom...- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
I tried FitEar Air 2 yesterday. If I understood correctly it has 2 dynamic drivers and 1 BA. I only had my phone with me which is a poor source but I tried that phone with a number of earphones so I have some baseline. For instance I tried Titan before and it sounded deep and impactful. I had...- lostman

Oh this is new: Fitear Air 2: http://www.fujiya-avic.jp/products/detail147640.html And I thought I'd set my sights on MW335DW. Can't wait to try it out! One... more... week!- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
Is it possible to get a different cable when ordering? I would've impulse-bought the FitEar Custom but I really didn't like the 005 cable. 006 costs the same and I like it a lot but there's no option to chose.- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
Are they doing the shorter stem on all models? That's one of the things that makes me really interested in FitEar. The universal version of Custom (Universal Custom? Custom Universal? :P) was actually surprisingly comfortable. My ears hate almost everything but that one was really good. I think...- lostman

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
I haven't seen Aya in real life but it doesn't look flimsy in the photos (probably due to opaque shells). I think the only 3D printed CIEMs I've seen are Ultimate Ears and they do look flimsy. Oh and 64audio and they look a bit better but the 3D printed shell still looks quite thin. I wonder if...- lostman
