    Sony WI-1000X Brief Review

    I got a pair of these yesterday. While I agree the noise cancelling is quite subtle and definitely not as strong as my Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless over-ears, I didn't expect it to be in this form factor. My main use case is also commuting by train, and while they don't completely block out...

    AptX in-ears: V-Moda Forza Metallo Wireless or Sennheiser Momentum/HD1 in-ear Wireless

    My V-Moda ZNs are falling apart, and as it looks like whatever my next phone is it will ditch the 3.5mm jack it's time to get some decent Bluetooth in-ears. I've narrowed it down to these two. - https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sennheiser-hd-1-in-ear-wireless.22376/ -...

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

      It can be connected to multiple devices simultaneously. I use them at work with a USB bluetooth dongle in my PC and they simultaneously remain connected to my phone. If I play music on my phone, the PC music stops. If I play music on the PC the phone music stops. If I'm listening to music on...

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

    When I tap my ear cups I don't hear any ANC feedback at all - the noise is just the echo of the tapping and sounds pretty much the same if I power off the headphones and do it.   I have noticed sometimes when I'm on the bus there's a certain bus vibration frequency that causes a lot of noise...

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

      Eh how bad can the M2 mic audio be if you're preferring a webcam mic? Last night I made a Google Voice call over WiFi to a land line on the other side of the world using my M2 via bluetooth and the other party said I was "extremely clear", and there were no dropouts, even when I...

    Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality

    I just picked up a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless (built in ability to work as a USB DAC) and threw in one of these for the hell of it - http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F2CU033/ -- I figured if it didn't work I could still use it to charge the headphones from my USB-C charger and not need...

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

    Picked these up today and grabbed one of these cables as well - http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F2CU033/ - I figured that if it didn't work I could still use it to charge the headphones and other legacy micro-B devices from my USB-C charger so it wouldn't be wasted.   I'm pleased to report that...

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

    Has anyone tried or had any success plugging these directly to an Android phone via USB and using them as a DAC? I have a Nexus 6P, which has a USB-C connector. There are USB-C to micro-B cables readily available (Apple even sells them as the new Macbook has a USB-C port) and from what I've read...

    Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!

    I've had my eye on these for a while but I wanted to wait to see if the new revision would completely fix the Bluetooth issues, which it seems it has. One question though: is there any way to tell from the packaging (SKU, model number, serial etc) that a set of M2 Wireless is definitely the...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

      Yeah I could probably warranty my Zn but I'm resident in one of 'such countries and regions' that V-Moda does not ship to and I got them sent here via a US reshipping service. I would have to pay international postage to send them back to the US, then probably another $10-15 for my reshipping...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

      Yep, mine stopped working after about a month. Quite annoying but I could live with it. Now it's started randomly reducing / muting the media volume on my phone (Android, so if volume control is possible inadvertently via a faulty unit, why can't it be figured out properly??), making it worse...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

    After less than a month the in line remote buttons have stopped working. I got the iPhone version and initially the center button was working fine with my Nexus 6P. A few days ago it stopped. Thought it might have been a phone software update at first but it's also not working on my Nexus 7 2013...

    Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality

    Would that be the one I linked a few posts back? http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F2CU034/   I can't find one to buy here (which is annoying because they probably make the damn things just around the corner in China) and I'm not going to pay $15 international shipping just for a $20 cable. Next...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

      Poweramp, which I've used pretty much my whole time on Android since my original HTC Desire. I've used the Zn on the Nexus 6P a bit more and they actually don't fare nearly as badly as my M-100s, which pick up a nasty booming and sound dull compared to with my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013, which...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

    Just received mine delivered to me at work. The only sources I have here are my Nexus 6P and my work PC with an Asus Xonar U3 USB sound card. The Nexus 6P makes the bass way too boomy and overwhelming regardless of what earphones you use (maybe it's tuned for the crappy free earbuds most people...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

    The IM70 are my current favourite sound for the price but the durability of the detachable cables leaves a lot to be desired - I've just broken my second pair in about 18 months. My Zn will arrive from the US next week so I'll give my opinion on how they compare shortly.   Can anyone confirm...

    Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality

    I'm not sure how OTG support works on USB-C and whether there are different cables with functionality vs no functionality per se. OTG support for micro-B was due to an additional pin-to-wire connection in the phone end (you can even bodge your own from a standard...

    Nexus 5x and 6p sound quality

    I've got the 6P and I've done some brief testing with my V-Moda M100s. The quality is meh... The bass is boomy to the point of being a bit overwhelming but at the same time less punchy than through my desktop PC Xonar D2X. The audio sounds more compressed, too. There is plenty of volume though -...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

    If the play/pause button on the three button version works on Android the same as the button on the single button version then why bother buying/making the single button version at all? I would have thought it would make more sense to get the three button version anyway and have two inactive...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

    Are these really suitable for sports / workout - i.e. are they at least semi rain/sweat resistant? It's typically 85-90% humidity here so even a 5KM run has you dripping like you just took a shower. I find that if used regularly for running here, earphones and other electronics last a year at...

    V-MODA Zn: Official Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, Videos, etc.

    Awesome first impressions! A couple of things I'd be interested to know:   I much prefer the Shure / Comply foam tips to any silicon ones I've ever tried. I guess maybe I have large ear canals, but I only get a good fit and acoustic seal with the largest size foams. Do any of the Comply foams...

    V-MODA CROSSFADE WIRELESS: Exclusive Preview, Videos, Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.

    So I've read the whole thread and I have a question that I don't think has been asked yet -- is the micro USB port solely for charging or can you connect the CFW to a PC (or USB-hosting compatible phone) and use it as a USB audio device, using the CFW inbuilt amp/DAC ala Momentum 2 Wireless?  ...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

    I just bought the IM50 as a temporary fix as I left my IM70 behind when I went home last month. My IM70s were posted back to me and now I have both for comparison :)    I listen mostly to trance & techno and I'm finding the mid-bass in the IM50 to be quite boomy, distractingly so at times...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

      I am a big fan of the sound of the Shure SE215s - the 215 LTDs are still my backup IEM - but the IM70s are definitely better imo. I listen almost entirely to electronic (mainly trance and techno) and they are just perfect for this. The bass it at least as powerful as the SE215 LTDs and goes...
