Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
What's the go-to recommendation for a TWS in-ear for ~$200? I plan to use these for working out and my budget is flexible. I have CIEMs so the adapters are appealing but the reviews appear generally negative.- Pwn3r4Life

NocturnaL Audio Custom Headphone Cables
This is a big IIRC so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. Hopefully someone else can confirm or has more recent info. I'm pretty sure NocAudio ran out of money before being acquired by Treeo. But then the guy who ran NocAudio disappeared for several months and took everybody's money...- Pwn3r4Life

High end Bluetooth Adapter?
The tech you are referring too is called aptx encoding. It is a type of Bluetooth that reduces the audio quality loss generally associated with Bluetooth. Bluetooth is not as good as a wire, ever, right now. I too am interested in this. Anybody know of any products?- Pwn3r4Life

OPPO PM-2 Is Available - Post Your Impressions Here
PM-2 is infinitely more comfortable. Infinitely. The LCD2 has more bass and smoother roll off of the treble. The PM-2 is more mids-focused in comparison to the LCD2, with a much quicker treble roll off. These headphones are more alike than they are different when it comes to sound. Many cite the...- Pwn3r4Life

VENI-VIDI-VICI! V-MODA's new IEMs - Zn (formerly Alto) + FORZA - Crowdsourcing, Reviews, Discussions Thread!
Sir, there is a link to more info, specifically specs, just a few posts above yours. Also, they must be very different. Given the extremely positive reviews thus far of the Zn and the generally lukewarm reviews of the Vibrato. I imagine it's similar to moving from the LP2 to the M100, less club...- Pwn3r4Life

Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality
No hiss with W60's?! That's impressive as all heck. Those things are 117 do at 24 ohm. Crazy. Consider me sold. Thank you very much for your input!- Pwn3r4Life

Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality
I've owned and heard phones with Qualcomm DACs and Wolfoan DACs. The DAC isn't even half the story. The biggest thing I notice is if the audio is poorly isolated from the other components then you get feedback when the phone is processing tasks. To compare the Wolfson DACs to the Qualcomm ones...- Pwn3r4Life

Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality
Output voltage tells far from the whole story in quality. In fact, it's probably the least important metric IMO. I'm still interested to hear more about how these phones actually sound. SNR stats especially.- Pwn3r4Life

Custom Art's First Foray into Acrylic CIEMs: Ei.3
Huh. I didn't know this. Glad I do now. I was growing vexed as to why they hadn't changed much after 20 hours. But the cables still have to burn in. :}- Pwn3r4Life

Custom Art's First Foray into Acrylic CIEMs: Ei.3
I got mine. Testing is underway. I don't want to give my impressions now because they haven't fully burned in yet and I have a feeling that they are going to change a good amount. I also don't have access to a decent source or source files at the moment. I like them so far, so there's that.- Pwn3r4Life

Sennheiser presents: RESHAPING EXCELLENCE [Thurs., August 27, 2015 in London]
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that they are going to be using a $1000+ audio recording set up and then use an iPhone 6 for visuals? Granted, I'd rather have it this way than have a $1000+ camera and crap audio, but hey, why not have some balance?- Pwn3r4Life

Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!
I have not experienced either of these things. However, I'm sure you could find someone on Craig's list to help you figure this out once and for all. You can find anything on Craig's list.- Pwn3r4Life

You try claiming the warranty? V-Moda has great customer service. They should be able to fix or replace your Remix.- Pwn3r4Life
