    Reply to review by 'ElcomeSoft' on item 'Fiio FW5'

    As someone who uses an Earstudio ES100 (LDAC to my Samsung Fold 4) with some Fiio FA7 IEMs, I have been looking for a change-up. As I am doing some more long-distance travel (4-5 hours), true wireless in-ears have become more interesting, especially as the battery on my ES100 is starting to wane...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    When I connect my ES100 up to my work laptop (Win10), I can get some decent quality audio from standard audio sources like YouTube but whenever I use any standard call software, I get the Default Communication Device quality (probably SBC.) I have popped through the standard Windows Sound...

    FiiO F9, F9Pro-Detachable MMCX connector,Hi-Res Audio Certified,2.5mm TRRS/3.5mm audio cable

    The right of my F9 Pros gave out last night. I suspect the cable has gone on that side but I have been unable to separate either the left or right-hand side earpiece from the cable itself to test it out. Not a bad 18-month stint really.

    Recommendation for my next IEM upgrade

    These seem to be difficult to acquire in the UK but I'll persevere. The Moondrop seems to be about £150 which is what I paid for my F9 Pro last year. I was looking at the other Fiio offerings like the FH5 or FA7.

    Recommendation for my next IEM upgrade

    I think that I am more of a balanced guy, edging towards a V-shape but it's hard to tell. It's very subjective, even for an individual. That T800 will probably set me back much more than £250 though. I can't locate a UK supplier and ordering from the official seller on AliExpress is £232 before...

    Recommendation for my next IEM upgrade

    Hello all, It has been a long time since I have been around these parts but I am in need of some collective wisdom. I rotate between a pair of Fiio F9 Pro and TripleFi TF10 earphones using a 2.5mm connection into an Earstudio ES100. This is hooked up to an Android phone that'll handle AptxHD...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    I can't find that seller on eBay. I wouldn't mind an alternative balanced cable for my F9 Pros, especially a shorter version. I think Fiio expected people to have earphones in and sit miles away from their audio player.

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    Happily listening to LDAC on my Google Pixel 2 XL running 8.1.0 version from 9th July. Best Effort seems to work alright. Best Quality struggles because of a personal habit... Hand in my pocket resting on my phone and right over the Bluetooth transmitter. It feels better than Aptx HD but I...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    I'm driving a pair of Fiio F9 Pro IEMs with the ES100 and the balanced cable. The ES100 lifts them a couple of steps above my Pixel 2 XL source and the balanced cable takes them another bump up in quality of output... But they make me really appreciate my Denon AVR-X2000 and Wharfedale Reva 2's...

    FiiO’s Upgraded Bluetooth Amplifier BTR1K: Qualcomm QCC 3005 BT chip, BT 5.0 and aptX /aptX LL/AAC supported, RGB light, NFC pairing, Type C and USB DAC

    Tempted by both the BTR1 and the μBTR to pair up with my Fiio F9 Pros. Heck, despite the price difference something about AptxHD and the 2.5mm balanced port of an EarStudios ES100 has my interest piqued. Although the Google Pixel 2 XL is a cracking phone, I'm not convinced about the USB C...

      That's actually more expensive. Quite a bit.

    Around 2300 files, mostly FLAC, spread across a 64GB card and the internal storage. And there is no need to be so rude.

      People say this but I have seen zero improvement over 1.10.   I call placebo.

    As previously mentioned the Spiral Dots are stupidly expensive. They're over and above Comply level expensive. I'll be working with what I have already.

    Comply Foamies (m) Stock AT tips (VS/S/M/L) SpinFits (m) V-MODA Bliss 3.0's (VS/S/M/L)   I am struggling to get a comfortable and proper seal with any of these tips. Sometimes it works, sometimes I wonder how I ever got them to sit right.   Between the lot of these I'm keep on trying to...

    SONY NW-A30 SERIES

    So after a great deal of testing it appears as though either my music files are sibilant or the tracks themselves are. Having taken a memory card with 20 tracks from my A35 and compared them to my 1st gen Fiio X1 I noticed the same audio quirks in the same parts in the same tracks. It must...

    Audio Technica ATH-E70, ATH-E50, ATH-E40 IEMs announced at NAMM 2016

    Finally got my Bliss 3.0 tips... And they have joined the silicone pile of miscellaneous tips that I have in an old V-Moda pouch. If I can get a good seal and I stress if quite strongly, they have the edge on the stock tips at the bottom and top ends. I'd use them if they fit. Unfortunately...

    What is the maximum storage capacity of micro SD cards compatible with my NW-A3x series Walkman? The maximum capacity for micro SD cards for use with the NW-A3x series Walkman players is 2TB. All Sony micro-SD cards currently available on the market are confirmed to be compatible...

      Had I seen this post a fortnight ago I might have went for the TF10's but I grabbed a brand new pair of Audio Technica ATH E70's for £200.   Yes, completely over budget but I definitely landed on my feet.

      My Sony Z5 Premium found it no problem. Doubt that Sony conspiracy theory holds any weight.

    SONY NW-A30 SERIES

      Sounds like you're having a similar issue to me.   I took my 64Gb unbranded micro SDXC card out of my Fiio X1 and it didn't work with my A35. Even after I formatted it in exFAT it didn't work. My A35's light flashed on the side but the OS did not pick up the card at all at any time.   All...

    Audio Technica ATH-E70, ATH-E50, ATH-E40 IEMs announced at NAMM 2016

    Odd question of the day... Will the V-Moda Bliss 3.0 tips from their Fader line of earplugs fit the E70's? Everything seems to look like a yes but you can never be too sure. Although they're an expensive way to get some tips it's the cheapest way in the UK so far and I'm wondering how they'd...

    Surely it makes tracks more bouncy. Serious note: I would doubt that there is any tangible deterioration in audio quality due to a thin rubber protective layer. And now I realise how bad that sounds...

    If I read Sony's site correctly it'll take anything up to 2tb.
