I don't usually have speak-to-chat activated. In the past, Alexa would respond to my voice even when it was not active. It's OK. I just have to touch the right earcup to activate Alexa. Maybe the latest update changed how Alexa is waken, due to the possibility that she will listen to...

Hey guys; I have owned a pair of Sony WH-1000XM5 for about 18 months. I have loved everything about these cans. The ANC is the best I have ever experienced, and the sound quality is excellent (for my ears), but not as good as my Senn HD600's with Schiit Magnius/Modius stack. Now for the problem...

OK; So I had this great thought while I was out running (only 6Km today): Maybe someone already makes a waterproof/resistant cover for headphones that could be slipped over the back of the can. But no; The only covers I found are intended to protect the user from COVID and other bad stuff if...

Yes, the JBL/UA cans do have a strong clamping force. That's one reason I liked them so much for running - they stay on your head. But they do get uncomfortable after a while. I don't think you would want to run anything more than a 10K with these. That said, I have run longer - 1/2 marathon -...

I found a pair or two of the JBL/UA on Ebay, but I hesitate to order used, since I once did and they smelled of cigarette smoke. I returned them for a refund. In addition to that, I had trouble with the power switch on my pair of JBL UA not too long after I purchased them. I contacted JBL and...

Hey guys; I was wearing a pair of JBL/UA Sport Wireless Train cans for running (outdoors). They were great for the summer, since they're on-ear and not over the ear. I liked these headphones, except for the power and pause/play buttons - they became intermittent after only a few months of use...

Thanks; I'll take a look at your suggestions.

Hello; I am living with my elderly mom, who has dementia. She can still handle the essentials of living, but spends most of her time just sitting around. I had her set up for listening to Classical music on CD's with a pair of wired headphones, but eventually, the CD player stopped working. I...

Hey guys; I just bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM5. I am loving these headphones so far, but I have one problem: trying to connect to 2 devices at the same time using multipoint. I have enabled the feature in the Sony headphones connect app. I believe that my problem is that I am trying to...

Hey guys; I have owned my ATH-M50X for a while now, and have always enjoyed them, but more recently, purchased the Senn HD600's and HIFIMAN Deva Pro, which are both open-back cans. Of course, the open-back headphones have a better soundstage, but I would like to listen to binaural beats for...

Thanks! I never thought of Echo. I'm going to check it out on Amazon. I would be especially interested if wired headphones could be plugged into an Echo device. That way, my mom wouldn't need to deal with BT connectivity.

Hello; My mom is 92 years old and has dementia, and likes to listen to music. I had an old CD player and headphones set up at her bedside (she is not bedridden - but she enjoyed listening while going to sleep), but that CD player stopped working. Rather than buy another CD player, or an MP3...

I am quite disappointed with the BlueMini dongle. It sounds great, but battery life using LDAC is terrible. I don't get anywhere close to the 8hrs stated in the specs. While I understand that LDAC is going to use a LOT more battery than AAC or (the dreaded) SBC, it is irritating to be listening...

I prefer IPA beers! Thanks for your input. It has been a curiosity of mine for a while. I'm investing in good audio equipment now, while my ears can still appreciate it.

Just had an interesting thought/observation: I cannot imagine listening to my favorite Rock & Roll over a phone's speaker - not even the latest, greatest iPhone - which I will admit, sounds much better than my Galaxy A51 Android 11 phone's speaker - not even stereo. But my sister is working out...
