    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    I don't need the best. I simply want a decent listening experience. I recently upgraded my Motorola G3 phone to a Motorola Edge 30 Neo and then purchased a TC35C so that I could use my favourite Superlux HD681 headphones. Audio over USB-C is new to me. Pros: the TC35C sounds good. Cons: hardware...

    Review by 'stweb' on item 'Philips SHE3595WT/28 In-Ear Headset with Mic White'

    I have previously given a positive review for the Philips SHE3590, a cheap IEM that sounds good.   I purchased the Philips SHE3595 because it looks like the SHE3590, has a microphone and it was cheap at Dick Smith's closing down sale (a major Australian retailer).   While they look similar...

    Why do you fuss over headphones?

    ProtegeManiac wrote above that "there are waaaaaay too many people who actually do [fuss over sound], but what doesn't get noticed is how many others who aren't fussing over their systems are sitting at home enjoying them". I am pleased to learn that there still are people who actually stop...

    Why do you fuss over headphones?

    Application of the term troll is subjective. Some readers may characterize a post as trolling, while others may regard the same post as a legitimate contribution to the discussion, even if controversial. Like any pejorative term, it can be used as an ad hominem attack, suggesting a negative...

    Why do you fuss over headphones?

    OK, for some people, headphones are their hobby and passion.   For others, why bother. Can spending $$$ on headphones recreate the sound of a live concert or reproduce a piece of music as the producer intended or even recreate the sound that is possible on a stereo pair of real speakers?  ...

    Review by 'stweb' on item 'Akg K 324 P - Chrome In-Ear Headphones'

    I bought these years ago and honestly haven't used them much. Recently, I have come to appreciate that the AKG K324P IEM headphones give a neutral, realistic sound unlike the many bass-heavy headphones that are popular today. It seems that when the bass is emphasised the mids and highs lose some...

    Review by 'stweb' on item 'Philips SHE3590BK/10 In-Ear Headphones (Black)'

    The Philips SHE3590 headphones were listed on the Head-Fi Headphone Buying Guide. They are inexpensive and widely available. Most Australian electronic retailers stock them and they cost about AUD15. I bought these (in white) to replace my lost AKG IEMs (which I have since found again!).  ...

    Review by 'stweb' on item 'Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 in-ear headphones'

    I wanted to replace the tinny OEM headphones for my Moto G Android phone and several reviews on Head-Fi rave about the Xiaomi Piston 3 headphones. I was aware that there could be fake Xiaomi headphones on ebay and other websites. I bought mine from GearBest.com, which has been suggested by...

    Review by 'stweb' on item 'Sennheiser MX 365 Earphones - Blue'

    I was browsing through a (bogus) fire sale at Dick Smith (Australian electronics retailer) today and spotted Sennheiser MX365 ear buds (white) for AUD8.99. I bought these because I wanted ear buds, because they were inexpensive and because I trusted they were genuine Sennheiser (lots of fakes...

    Getting started with Head-Fi

    BUYING GUIDE   I'm not a Head-Fier, I'm just after decent sound and I don't want to spend hours reading reviews. The Head-Fi Headphone Buying Guide is a good place to start and has some reliable recommendations.   EVALUATING HEADPHONES   I don't have Golden ears. It's easier to perform a...
