    Xiaomi Piston 3 (2015)

    I hate the new headset controls. It's near impossible to find the buttons without looking (which is awkward to do when it is so close to your face).

    Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread

    That was me and yes. They suck. I gave them away. I have just received the P3's and am testing them as I type. The mids are a little disconcerting but perhaps that is due to the V shape of the P2's that I was used to. The biggest annoyance is the location of the mic/controller. Way too close to...

    Xiaomi Piston 3 (2015)

    Does the iPhone support mean they are dropping Android 3 button support? Also improved bass response sounds a bit iffy. I find the v2's far too bass heavy already if that is what they mean.

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Any alternatives? If the E12 did not make any noise when connected via USB to a PC I would use that but I am put off by that possibility.

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Why is there no desktop equivalent (so I can plug into USB) without any annoying noise? I want the crosstalk/bass boost features etc and a balanced volume control with no noise whilst being powered. I don't need any battery nonsense.

    RockJaw Alfa Genus - Reviews, Impressions Thread

    Has anyone got an FR of the champagne filters? I currently have some Xiaomi Piston v2's but I find they have too much bass for my tastes. I'm curious to know if these are better overall.

    Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode

      Yeah my tinnitus is in my left ear mainly and it's the left ear that gives me the most trouble with distorted sound. If you have tinnitus it's hearing damage regardless of what the ENT graphs say. Basically it's efferent noise caused by hair like structures in the inner ear being flattened...

    Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode

      Do you get this on any other headphones? If so then you may have some hearing damage or just general loss of hearing in the upper frequencies (age?). I have damaged hearing myself (also constant tinnitus) and I find high frequencies tend to sound grainy/fizzy/sibilant. and mids can be painful...

    Xiaomi 1more Design classic earbuds quick review

              General overview and initial impressions of looks.   I will make this very short because I really don't feel it is worth spending the time on these.   I ordered these from iBuyGou.com on the basis that I liked the Xiaomi Pistons v2.1 IEM's. They had great overall sound...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    Got my Fidelio X2's a few days back and it's been a revelation.

    They really understand sound. None of this loudness war nonsense. Very crisp. Clear. Not compressed and limited to death. Big thumbs up for this.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    I was skeptical about amps but after comparing the output from my motherboard headphone out (line audio made no difference btw), my DJ controller and my Sony receiver there is just no comparison. The receiver wins in terms of power and overall sound. It is much fuller sounding and can drive the...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Audio is good from the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming. It's loud enough at full volume but there is no room to 'push' the cans a bit above normal listening volumes. But then I am used to listening at louder volumes than most probably. I am sending line out to my Novation Twitch controller and this gives me...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Interesting. Not entirely practical for me fiddling about at the rear each time. Unless I use an extension cable of course. BTW for the person who said there is no serial number on the cans there is one on the back of the box. Please can you check yours end with a different number to mine (to...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    The Z87 version. They drive them adequately from the front headphone jack on my Fractal R4. But there is no overhead for 'very' loud volumes. Not that anyone should be listening at extreme volumes of course. But it would be nice to know it's there.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    My guess is to keep the weight down as it is free delivery after all. No issues here. Hermes delivered a day early and no bangs on the box. I guess it's pot luck. I have braided the cable as it is too long for my needs. If the metal bands bother me enough I may strip them off and re-glue them...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Just got mine from gamestore247 on Ebay for £189 delivered. Ignore the bad reviews. I had no issues as do most people. I am enjoying them but might have to get a DAC/AMP to make the most of them (at least if I want to use them on my PC or DJ controller). On the PC the volume is merely 'adequate'...

    The Xiaomi Pistons Thread 2.0

    Well I have something workable. I took the grills of the and took the foams out. I cut one in half and put a bit in each side and left the grills off. The trebel was too harsh without the foams. I then put gift wrap tape over the outside vents and put a pin prick hole in each side.   This...
