    Any Pioneer SE-MS9BN owners here?

    Ah, no worries. I did not try these with a cable, but the reason I remembered them was because they had Google assistant as a smart feature, along with reasonable sq for a cheap price. In fact, they had so much of everything, I had to return to the store to get a second opinion. In the end I...

    Any Pioneer SE-MS9BN owners here?

    Tried these in Japan, I thought for the price they were the best of the selection at BIC Camera. How much did you get them for?

    CanJam Singapore 2019 (March 30-31, 2019)

    Hi, regular attendee of both Singapore and London canjams here. Can highly recommend both. British one has some local exhibitors as does the Singapore one. Both nice experiences.

    RHA MA750 Wireless -- Stuttering with my Fiio X5-iii

    Humm...well, those symptoms could be a couple of things...but most likely the connection. I'd believe a verified aptx through a catlog though. I did have an issue similar to what you describe, but found it to be purely centered on the player I was using - Poweramp at the time had some issues...

    RHA MA750 Wireless -- Stuttering with my Fiio X5-iii

    Well, just guessing, but it looks like the ma750 is making an AAC Bluetooth connection with the iPhone...no surprises there. But I suspect the ma750 is connecting with the fiio x5 iii with SBC, rather than Apt-x. If you can get a catlog through the fiio x5 iii to verify this. But pretty much...

    Shure SE425: Real or fake?

    Haha...I do like to believe that I can match the described signature and quality of the innerfidelity reviewed se425s to the ones I had....although, it could all be in my head....just like every headfi post and canjam listening experience for the last few years. A grand delusion :)

    Shure SE425: Real or fake?

    Hi, I've just sold one of these..silver version. Now from the photos, the se425 I had does look a little different in body. Also I don't think the case is supposed to look like that. I.e...the bumps on the weave material are too large. Also it's the wrong texture. Also, that doesn't look like an...

    Massdrop PLUS Universal IEM

    Generally the Kumitate Licht adds quite a lot of sub bass detail and detail along all parts of the audio spectrum. When used with something like my 6B, it's fairly overwhelming - especially for trance. Now, when paired with the Massdrop Plus, for me, it eliminates the need to use any kind of EQ...

    Massdrop PLUS Universal IEM

    Ok. I'm now pairing the Massdrop Plus with my Japan Kumitate Lab licht balanced cable, and it is adding a new dimension to these earphones. They definitely benefit from a cable upgrade.

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    OK. Just got this. Wasn't expecting much for £5...but it had the Japan Audio Society Hi Res certification, so I figured what the hey. Initial impressions....pretty impressive detail, and actually detailed bass and mids. No sibliant behaviour.. so far have compared it to a gr04 and prefer the...

    JVC HA-FW01 - The New Top End Wood Driver IEM (2017)

    Hey, thanks james444. That's actually just what I was looking for. And given that I agree with 90% of the "favourite IEMs" in your Signature..(ex1000, fi ba ss awesome..although the DN2000J sounds like an incoherent mess to me) that comparison note seems pretty solid. Interesting that you...

    JVC HA-FW01 - The New Top End Wood Driver IEM (2017)

    So I've tried the FD01 and FW01 side by side today at stereo.sg - just to try a new IEM with a few days to kill in the country. Big mistake. Of the two, the FW01 has left me feeling impressed...Impressions are that the FW01 sounds raw and energetic..with the FD01 being a bit more controlled and...

    CanJam Singapore 2018 Impressions Thread! (March 24-25, 2018)

    I would absolutely do this given the small price difference between the two and that the 1960s is still the top commonly available cable, you'll get a good price for it...

    Compared to the London show it feels a fair bit more iemy I agree. I went upstairs and there was a sparse room with over the ears...told the guys I was an Iem person and directed to kindly go back down and join the crowd.

    Not sure if next year there will be another model. 1950's seemed pretty revolutionary. Anyway...onto prices..

    CanJam Singapore 2018 Impressions Thread! (March 24-25, 2018)

    Ohh..you spoke too soon. It is a 1950s (new) :) I did A/B against the 1960s model they had as I was originally interested in that. Now I can say there is a chasm of difference between the two. 1950's feels a lot more resolving.

    Just tried the 1950's PW Audio cable designed by this guy (Peter Wong): It was pretty amazing, and has re-defined how I thought about copper.

    Reply to review by 'darkdoorway' on item 'FiiO Q5 Flagship Bluetooth and DSD-Capable DAC & Amplifier'

    Hi. I'm....not too sure what you are asking. It is a Bluetooth DAC. You pair it with your phone / computer / whatever and play. The Q5 receives a wireless digital signal , amps and plays it through the headphones connected to it.

    FiiO Q5, the mightiest Bluetooth/DSD DAC&Amp ever, available now

    Hi, I have. With AptX on the Q5, Vs a wired 24/192 connection, it's almost on par. At least there isn't enough of a difference for me to want to take a couple of rubber bands and stack.
