    Shure AONIC 50 -

    Sad to say my bluetooth in these just died. This unit was a replacement for a model where the pads had detached, so I've had it less than 6 months. I noticed my sound went from fine to constant stutter if I turned my head with the usb cable charging. 1 day later and now wont connect at all and...

    Shure AONIC 50 -

    They are within the warranty period but do they honor warranty if it's from a third-party seller and not directly from amazon.com is my concern.

    Shure AONIC 50 -

    Hey all need advice. I've been loving these headphones but the headband separated recently. I want to send them in but Shure won't tell me whether or not they'll cover it under warranty, I mistakenly purchased them on Amazon, but from a third-party seller. They were new, 100% legit, etc. But I'm...

    Shure AONIC 50 -

    Can anyone speak to how bad the sound leakage is? I've heard mixed reports and would like to buy these for office use. Is it tenable at half-volume? Full volume? Also curious what the sound signature is like compared to the SRH840/940

    Sennheiser HD 630VB Review - First Impressions

    I feel so torn about these: The response sounds like my dream headphone. Then I read "non-removable cable" and was like "I could never buy a headphone without a replaceable cable... that's always the first thing to die!" Then I was like "I've had my HD650 for like 3 years and not replaced the...

    Audiophile iOS audio player

    Anyone know if any of these alternative players allow you to access the star rating system? It's been the basis for how I sort music into smart playlists, and apple removed it from their music app in the iOS 10 beta.

    iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Audio Quality

    I'm a bit confused, can someone clear this up?   Everywhere I read that the iPhone does not support 24-bit audio, yet I have 24-bit ALAC tracks in my library and they sync and play on my iPhone 6+, no external DAC attached. Is that info old?

    Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier

    I'll pull out my old laptop later but its perfect no noise coming through my surface tablet. I also get the same noise through my pc front outputs. I am surprised though... The xense has an emi shield which is 0% effective... No difference compared to onboard.

    Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier

    Well it turns out it may be... I got the amp today, plugged it in RCA to 3.5mm to 6.5mm, and everything mute I can hear A LOT of noise. I was plugged into my main amped-port on my Xense, which is an EMI-shielded card, then plugged it into my onboard. No difference. I am surprised, I can hear the...

    Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier

    You're thinking of the STX, the Xense does not have RCA. Only has 1/4" Headphone/Mix, Coax/Mini-TOSLINK combo port, and that weird DVI port is a splitter for 4, 3.5" jacks to set up 7.1 I think.

    Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier

    I guess we'll see! I took the leap and ordered... my big concern was with double-amping, I've heard before you can bypass through TOSLINK but there's only RCA and XLR here. Should I just set gain to low on Xonar to minimize that?

    Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier

    Hey all, need some help with nooby stuff.   I have been looking for my first time amp purchase. I have used the amplified Xonar Xense card for 4yrs, but have never been truly happy with it, the signature is just too bright for my tastes. I am currently running HD650s and want to bring out the...

    Upgrading from Xonar Xense?

    I've had my Xense for a long time and it just doesn't seem to be doing it. I've never been particularly fond of the sound signature from the beginning, but particularly with my HD650s I feel like there is very little lower midrange, lending to a more tinny, incomplete sound. I am not a basshead...

    Reply to review by 'ceej' on item 'Sound Blaster X7'

    Hey guys I am a relative noob, I have Shure 940s, Denon AH-D600 and most recently Sennheiser HD650. I have been using a Xonar Xense card to drive them but especially the 650s are just lifeless with the Xonar. Volume is fine but they just don't sound "right" like something is missing. Do you guys...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

      How do you like the Xonar? I have a Xonar Xense and just got the 650s. They sound absolutely lifeless, detailed, but really lacking in the lower midrange. Aside from volume they sounded better on my iPhone.   I went so far as to plug into my onboard sound card and that was better. My...
