I have the MDR-1ADAC and it sounds amazing via the all-digital USB connection. The 1ADAC put my trusty, portable FiiO E18 DAC/Amp out of commission.   I'm itching to pull the trigger on the 1000X's but I'm doing some scouring on this thread first. I also read the Head Fi Buying Guide Travel...

I just wanted to chime in as I just received a Sony MDR-1ADAC - specs.   Purchased for $210 new to my door, which I think is a great deal down from its $400 retail.   I'm no audiophile, but I have in the last year or so become mildly obsessed with improving my headphone listening experience...

  I'll chime in to second this. Everything you said is correct. Everything that Giogio person said is not.

Thought I'd share my review from the High End Bluetooth Headphones thread.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/710413/high-end-bluetooth-headphones/420#post_10908324   Quote:  

Just confirmed that the volume control on the Sony MDR-1RBT MK2 is internal and does not affect the volume levels on the smartphone (I used a Samsung Galaxy S5).   Further, I turned the (BT) Media and System volumes both to full on the S5 and then used the volume controls on the Sony and the...

SUPER COMFORTABLE. I said this earlier, but like satin hotel pillows against your ears. Unbelievable.

I was starting to wonder about your hearing... or mine. hehe   I have essentially the same impressions as you. The Sony MDR-1RBT MK2 is just phenomenal sounding, especially when compared to the likes of Beats. You're also absolutely right about the comfort, too. The Sony's are unreal with...

Very glad to hear the news! I'm constantly listening to my MK2's. At work and at home. I have them on now! LOL   I'm extremely impressed with the battery endurance. I've charged only 3 times since owning them and I listen to them constantly!   As for the BT devices, both Avantree's have good...

  Glad to help. Just sharing my opinion, that's all. :)   I do not have an AptX BT transmitter that works with my A/V setup so I cannot comment on that. Although, I've been looking. I've found that the price range for those are around $35 on Amazon USA. I'll probably pick one up soon and...

You're much better off with the UE 6000 over any Beats (even the Pros).

To expand a bit on what Nhubley said, Monoprice is actually a bit of an anomaly in the industries they cater to. Their bang-for-the-buck ratio is unmatched by far , combined with cheap shipping prices, fast shipping service and excellent customer service. I really have no idea how they do it.  ...

I received the Japanese market Sony MDR-1RBTMK2 on Saturday and I've been listening to them nonstop each chance I get (which is only about 3-4 hours a day unfortunately, but still a good amount). Headphones can sometimes be a burden to me and I oftentimes find myself opting for a sound system...

  Since you're using an iPhone (in my opinion) your options increase greatly because you don't have to worry about the wireless headset supporting AptX (headsets of which are far and few between, plus at an increased cost generally, although AptX is becoming more common). iPhone's A2DP...

Glad you got it working! AVCRP is a BT profile for play/pause/volume controls. Works great on Android but it's hit or miss with Windows. I think iTunes does support it and also Windows Media Player.   As others have said, you don't have to worry about "Safely Remove Device" with your BT...

Beats marketing always cracks me up. Granted, their job is to convince ("con"?) people into buying, although I can't help but wonder if the marketing people writing it are being subtlety cynical or if they really just have no clue what they're writing about. I would have normally instantly...

Going back to your prior post, maybe I should have asked you to clarify what "really crappy stereo" sounds like to you, since it's a subjective topic. For some reason in my mind I thought of phone call hold music, because that's what the headset profile sounds like. A2DP with the default SBC...

You're probably hooked up to your PC as a headset (HSP profile) instead of a headphone profile (A2DP). You can probably adjust this within the Bluetooth settings.   Once it's set to headphone (A2DP), you should be able to further select which codec to use under the A2DP profile; SBC (regular...

I think you made a good choice with the MDR-10RBT's, but saying the MDR-1RBT's are overpriced is way far off.   Although, in defense of the other two, the 1RBT doesn't support AptX which in my opinion is MANDATORY for Bluetooth audio. However, the newer 1RBTMK2 does! I'm not sure where you're...

Hello everyone. I'm new here (longtime lurker from reviews/shopping research). Just getting in to high quality audio as a hobby. Is this event limited participation or open to the public?

Shouldn't the BT version sound identical when wired in?

While it's true that the 1A and 1ADAC are right around the corner, I don't think either of those is a direct replacement for the 1RBTMK2 because neither of them support Bluetooth. The closest I could come up with is the new MDR-XB950BT/B (AKA "Extra Bass" lol?), but even it seems to come up...

It makes no sense to me either. I have a pair coming from Japan via an Amazon US marketplace vendor but I'd still be interested to know of any reputable source for MK2's in the US.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned here, but in case anyone is wondering, the Logitech UE 9000's do not work over AptX. They're actually rendered unusable (no sound) when paired with an AptX device. If you're interested, I posted a very detailed response on a thread at the Logitech support...

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to test them. I had a difficult time even finding the MK2 in the US to begin with. Even Sony's website only seems to mention the original version. The MK2 doesn't seem to be available here. I guess I took a chance but I'm fairly confident in my decision...

After being impressed with the design, craftsmanship and audio quality of the Logitech UE 9000's while at the same time being disappointed with the AptX issues (primarily with Android AptX devices, but seemingly Logitech's fault, although iPhone AptX seems to be fine), I decided I'd see what...
