Yeah, but not knowing expressionism from realism isn’t going to kill you…….unless you have particularly vicious tutor :wink:

On our first day in the second year of Electronic/Mechanical Engineering our professor looked at us and said “forget everything you learned and understand from last year”, (or words to that effect) he wasn’t wrong………I developed a stress headache for the first few months and started grinding my...

Is it normal?, I’d be impressed if it was one of those winter hand warmers you ignite and place in your pocket but for a dap I’d say “not optimal” :wink:

Yep, I never download a software update till well after it’s released and had a further revision to iron out the bugs, I used to mess about with my own music studio setup and performing a software update for either Mac/Audio interface/Ableton/Native Instruments/synth plug ins etc was sooo...

My XBA-N3’s are my fav iem, symphonium meteor is a close second.

Depends……..are you related to anyone with the name Schrödinger? It can take a number of charge/discharge cycles to set Li-ion parameters so I wouldn’t be concerned

I thought Symphonium tested every single crossover/driver/iem at all stages of construction and before it was packed ready for sale?, how could they miss this?

Having experienced how violent Li-ion battery explosions can be I’d be very wary of booting the unit back up, especially as you mention how hot the unit can get. Any prolonged temperature of over 110° can be damaging to the cell.

Good ambient but beat lead techno mix with good progression by Rob Jenkins, he’s also on tidal/bandcamp/spotify

See ………..I’ve caught one. :astonished:

Having worked, and drank in a decent amount of Scottish pubs in my 30 years of legal drinking age you will eventually discover a troll amongst the crowd in any pub if you pay attention, some folk just get their kicks from stirring up crap so to speak, and are never happier than when they’re...

If you wish to dive deeper into the topic then have a listen to THD Podcast here on “Does the measurement curve match the perception of sound quality and can we correlate the two The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the...

Ahh, I had the video playing in the other room, I’d best watch it now

For the reviewers who make a living from the hobby I’d like to see a professionally carried out hearing test and verified results posted, I understand there are various types of testing available and some are more accurate in the higher frequencies.

:smile: Good luck trying to keep a new “cheap” headphone with decent bass response a secret, headphone users have asking for better bass for years. Mods : can you close this thread now?

I think these are priced perfectly to capture the market who initially laughed/mocked then ultimately bought the likes of Apple Airpod Max and are now looking at buying a premium looking wired headphone, the focals do look better than the majority of options around that price point and have...

I’ve queued a few of his albums in my roon playlist for further listening, cheers.

Well done to focal if it triggers folk to write such nonsense as above. I like the blue colour, and I’m 50…..

I’ll add to the “thanks”, it’s very refreshing and can only be a positive move for the company to have a representative on here to answer questions and it’s one of the reasons I bought my R6 iii

These new Sennheiser HD 620S look very interesting, nice bass response and overall tuning for £299, I hope we see a frequency response on the B&K 5128 soon Specifications here

A very simplistic explanation but good enough to get you through 1st year at university

After having Etymotic er4-p back in 2006 ish I soon discovered I didn’t like the sound so I quickly sold them on and cared little about returning to a fully balanced armature set until recently buying the Symphonium Meteor and I have to say I love them, very punchy with deep bass if you get a...

Whoop….whoop :relaxed: :gs1000smile::relaxed: I sent a “pretty please” email to them last week regarding Roon implementation into Hiby players so hopefully they’ll reply to myself with a similar positive response, if not I’ll remind them on roon chat that the Hiby dap users are patiently...

Best mate is/was from Crete (died of cancer 6yrs ago) so I spent many trips out there with him and his extended family around the island, best way to immerse in the culture is be a local and I was very privileged to be invited to join them in many celebrations of his life
