While not the first Bluetooth Planar Headphones/earphones, the upcoming HiFiMan Ananda BT is definitely the first serious audiophile attempt at full sized wireless bluetooth headphones. Not at all surprised that HiFiMan is first. It's supposed to be using Huawei's HWA Audio Codec (LDHC). Not...

HiFiMan Susvara Review You may have heard that The HiFiMan Susvara is the best dynamic headphone that HiFiMan has ever made. You also probably heard that it's the most expensive dynamic Headphone HiFiMan has ever made. Both of these things are true. The question then to ask, is the...

I recently purchased Jaybird X2 from Amazon twice.  One was fake and one was real.     There are subtle differences between the two.  The fake looks pretty convincing otherwise, unless you know what to look for.  Sound quality-wise, the Real one is definitely better.  The Fake one had a high...

HiFiMan HE-560 Review   Review to come, need some quality, quiet, late night listening time for a few days.  I will update this thread soon.  In the meantime, enjoy the pics.   Review is in progress.         HARDWARE USED Source = HiFiMan HM-901 Amp = HiFiMan EF-6 HEADPHONES...

If you have a HifiMan HM-60x or HM-801, try the OTG cable with your Samsung Galaxy phone or Tablet.   I got both my HM-601 and HM-801 to work with the USB DAC input with an OTG USB adapter with my Galaxy Note 10.1.   Be sure to power up the HifiMan player and connect the USB cable and...

I am likely going to be getting an Oppo BDP-83 (probably SE version) and using it with my Smyth Realiser.  I've tried some samples and even DTS encoded versions of songs, and am very impressed.  It can only get better with high resolution formats with SACD and the defunct DVD-A.   So, any...

Are you hearing me, Apple?    I'm a bit of a soundtrack score junkie, and was looking forward to buying the CD album of the original score soundtrack for Modern Warfare 2.  Much to my dismay it's an iTunes only download...

I'm definitely getting this one if the reviews are favorable.    Small enough to attach to the top of my Canon AVCHD Camcorder.   http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=2053&brandID=4   -Ed

I keep getting "Error" pop up when I try to post in threads.  If I reload the page, my post went through fine, but if I don't, I can't see that I've actually posted.   Anyone else getting this problem?   I'm on Firefox 3.6.3  Windows7 x64

Less than one month until CanJam 2010 in Chicago kicks off!   Much like last year, there will be laminated collectable badges.  They are very high quality, like Back stage concert passes.   I just finished the CanJam 2010 Badge artwork.   Here's what they will look like.   If you...

Sound off if you want one!   I want one!     -Ed

It's not uncommon for manufacturers to share components or even use the same innards, but this one just looks like a scam. C'mon Lexicon. Really? They literally shoehorned a BDP-83 inside a box and charged $3000 more. Oppo on the Inside, Lexicon on the Outside — Reviews and News...

Anyone else here going to CES? I'm going for 4 days, but I'll probably leave early on Sunday. -Ed

Happy Birthday, Peter. Maybe you've gotten some fine and heavy glass for your birthday? -Ed

This thread is meant to be a poll and a reference for which SDHC Cards works and which ones do not. Please keep discussions down to a minimum so that people do not have to navigate through hundreds of posts trying to find out which cards work and which ones do not. So, no discussion about...

Is it possible the newly released HifiMan HM-801 is going to have a real competitor? The Auraliti Digital Music Player is unveiled at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Rocky Mountain Audiofest 2009 The website has scant few details. Only thing listed is: "is the first easy to use...

Happy Birthday, Aaron! Some beer and brewery burgers after work today? -Ed

LOL, awesome headphone Art. Fully functional too. Thriller Headphones I love that pulling on the zombies adjusts the headband. -Ed

Attention SoCal Head-Fier fans of John Williams music. I posted about The Golden Stated Pops Orchestra a while ago here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f24/go...-socal-185691/ They are a Mini-me influenced version of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. They draw a lot of...

Woah. That was pretty big. Short, though, thank goodness. Anyone else feel that? -Ed

It's up on XBox Live Arcade. My current favorite game. Snowblind Studios - Death Tank I loved Death Tank Zwei on the Sega Saturn, with all it's silliness and primitive graphics. Now it's updated with excellent graphics, but with all of the crazy action. For those that don't know it's a...

Technology Review: Harnessing Hamster Power with a Nanogenerator I could've told them a long time ago that hamsters can power your gadgets. Although, this method is just putting us one step closer to the Matrix. I have mine charging up my headphone gear, like my Pico. But, I like to...

My 12 Year PDA Journey It all started back in 1996. I had been using Week at a Glance organizers for many years, but was sick and tired of losing post it notes that I ended up adding to pages because I was running out of room. Also, the prospect of having to copy info (like contacts, etc.)...

Sony, stop making up new optical disc formats that no one wants. Translated version of http://www.sme.co.jp/pressrelease/images/20081105.pdf You can bet Blu-Spec CD specs calls for tons of crippling DRM as well. I guess when Sony finally bankrupts themselves, they might learn. Funny...

I admit it. I'm hooked. Ever since I installed a 1.8" 16GB Samsung SLC SSD drive in my Fujitsu P1610, I'm simply addicted to the ridiculously fast access speeds. Not to mention the 30 second boot up time. Write speeds certainly aren't making me forget about my Velociraptor, but I can't...
