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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey guys; I am listening to a 5.1 surround recording of Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick. When I first started the album - playing from my Android phone - I was listening on a pair of JBL/UA Train Wireless on-ear cans (using AAC codec). There was definitely a lot missing from the music, as I had...

Hey guys; I've got a hypothetical question. It's hypothetical to me because I've never tried it, but I'm almost certain that someone has. Would it be possible for the Schiit Magnius to drive both balanced and unbalanced loads simultaneously without damage? I own a pair of Senn HD600's (300...

Hi; I'm going to attempt to use my Schiit Modius / Magnius stack with my Moto G7 Optimo Maxx Android 10 (or my new Galaxy A51 Android 11) phone. While the DAC may function, I am a bit concerned about the power drain from the phone's USB port. Schiit suggests using a powered USB hub if the phone...

Hey guys; I set up my (elderly) mom's stereo system (old Onkyo receiver and CD player) in her bedroom so she can enjoy Classical music at her leisure. She has an old pair of Sony MDR-CD6 on-ear cans that are in desperate need of new earpads. I don't know how good these sound compared to today's...

Hey guys; I know I'm kind of all over the place when it comes to my thoughts; it's a bug - not a feature in my 'firmware' <g>. I have been doing a lot of thinking (and over-thinking) about headphones recently. It all started when I purchased my Schiit Modius / Magnius stack about a month ago. I...

Hey guys; Winter is almost here, which means it's 'zapping' season. You know - you walk across the carpeted floor while wearing your new fleece sweater and touch a doorknob, light switch, or - maybe your audio equipment. There is a loud snap and you feel - and maybe even see - a spark jump from...

Hey guys; I'm considering purchasing a pair of high-end wireless ANC headphones. The choices appear to be down to the following: Sennheiser Momentum 3 Bose 700 Sony WH-1000XM4 I am currently leaning towards the Senns, but reading a couple of reviews it appears that the Bose 700 might be a...

Hello; I just got my Schiit Modius / Magnius stack set up. I have the Modius connected to my Windows 10 PC via the supplied USB cable. All is working great, except for one thing: There is far too much latency for my MIDI keyboard. I am not a professional musician, but like to play around with my...

Hey guys; I just received my Modius / Magnius stack from Schiit Audio. Everything looks great, and I am excited to have a listen to my new gear. However, the USB A to Micro USB cable supplied with the Modius is not long enough for my planned installation. So I'm thinking: Either I buy a 6ft high...

Hey guys; I have been using MusicBee for my Rock library, but trying to set up a separate view for Classical music is a bear. I can add columns (tags) to the main window to acomodate Classical - Composer, Orchestra, etc - but trying to set MB up for two completely different libraries is driving...

Hey guys; I finally pulled the trigger on the Schiit stack - Magnius + Modius. Now I need a balanced XLR cable for my Senn HD600's. I have done some searching in these forums and some have suggested re-terminating the stock cable to XLR, or buying the stock cable for HD650 and re-terminating it...

Hey all; I'm looking for a decent DAC to use with my Android phone and Senn HD600's (preferred) or ATH-M50X. I happen to come across the Audiolab M-Dac Nano today, and thinking it might be my solution. I like that it's Bluetooth rather than USB - fewer cables to get snagged. But I need to know...

Hello; I have a pair of Jabra Elite Active 75t. I had assumed that these were classified as IEM's because the tips actually protrude into the ear. But after reading a couple of blogs, I think differently. Apparently, having the tip itself and not the driver inserted into the ear canal classifies...

Hey guys; Last month I purchased a pair of Senn HD600. I am very happy with the cans, but have one complaint: The cable. It is simply too long. I would have preferred a shorter cable, then used an extension cord if I needed longer. I have shopped (mostly on Amazon) for replacement cable for...

I've got a pair of Jabra Elite Active 75t IEM's. While these are no audiophile buds, they serve a purpose. They are the most isolating of all the personal listening devices I own. I also have a pair of JBL/UA Train Wireless On-Ear headphones, but they are not at all isolating. The problem with...

I own a pair of ATH-M50X. I use them almost exclusively while listening to flac files (ripped from CD's or purchased on iTunes) on my Windows PC. My audio device is a Behringer UMC202HD. I have Windows set up to drive it at 44.1KHz 16 bits. My hearing runs up to about 15KHz. I also have a Moto...

hey guys; My ATH-M50X are a few years old, and the ear pads are showing lots of wear. I checked Amazon for replacements, but I didn't find the right ones. So I went to the Audio Technica website and found this: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/hp-ep You would think these are the exact...

Hey guys; Moto G7 Optimo Maxx Android 10 phone: I was strictly a 'wired' guy until last August when I purchased a reconditioned pair of JBL/UA Train Wireless Sport headpones. These are on-ear, and intended for use in the gym, but my intended use was for outdoor running. Compared to my...
