Sony WH-1000X M3 connection behavior, any way to fix
I have a pair of Sony WH-1000X M3s. These are for travel and for use when I'm trying to watch content in a shared living space. My problem is the bluetooth connectivity seems to be a bit wonky. I have the headphones paired to my iPhone Xs and my iPad pro. Whenever I turn the headphones on...- imahawki

I'm looking for a desktop stye (meaning not portable) headphone amp with bluetooth. Nothing terrible powerful or expensive is needed, I just want the ability to play some better cans at work and I think I'll just be streaming from my iPhone.- imahawki

Is there any rule of thumb for which gain setting to use?
I'm running a Schiit Modi Multibit and Schitt Vali 2 powering a pair of Aeon closed headphones. With these headphones either gain setting really gives me a good range its just a matter of being around 12 o'clock give or take on low gain and more like 9 o'clock on high gain. I have a thought...- imahawki

Schiit Fulla 2 "enough" power for Sennheiser HD 650
I need to downsize my desk rig and am looking at going basic with the Fulla 2. I like the knob design vs. other portable / tiny desktop DAC / amps. But I want to make sure it will power 300 Ohm headphones.- imahawki

Review by 'imahawki' on item 'Jabra MOVE Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset'
These headphones are solid but the sound quality is not exactly high fidelity. If you need a pair of BT headphones for the office or while commuting on public transportation, these will fit the bill. Try to get them at a discount to the normal $99 price. ...- imahawki

AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread
I had a chance to hear these recently and agree with some of the recent comments. These are the darkest hi-fi headphones I've ever heard. My reference rig is a pair of MadDogs driven off a Bifrost Uber and Lyr 2. My reference stereo setup is a pair of GoldenEar Triton Ones. I played a very...- imahawki

HD 219 vs. PX-200ii
I own a pair of PX-200s with the iPhone controls and their good for their portability. I'm wondering if the HD 219s would have more bass for a less portable solution, just sitting at my desk at work.- imahawki

Schiit Owners Unite
I paid $228 for mine in February 2014. They weren't import like that, they were just through a 3rd party Amazon seller. Maybe just shop around a bit more before finalizing your purchase. I've not heard the x7i but the x11i is sweet just from an engineering perspective. I believe the...- imahawki

Is there a reason you can't buy these for $200? http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Image-KLIMXJI111-Japan-Import/dp/B00ESBMOQ0?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ7T5BOVUVRD2EFYQ&tag=camelbrowser-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00ESBMOQ0- imahawki

Schiit Owners Unite
I have a pair of x11i and really like them*. I haven't amped them much (usually go direct out of iPhone 6+ or MacBook Air) but I can plug them into my Bifrost fed Lyr 2 and give you some impressions. I don't have a ton of IEM experience but to me where Klipsch earns their money is comfort. I...- imahawki

OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread
I may buy the Teac HA-P50. I'm not married to a particular portable amp at this point, just want something that will work with my MacBook Air and my iPhone 6 without without the CCK. Any other iPhone compatible (non-CCK) portable DAC/Amps I should consider?- imahawki
