    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...

    Desktop type headphone amp with Bluetooth

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.  ...

    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...

    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.

    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...

      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

    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...

    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?

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    I saw someone ask back in February but do we know when/if this will be available through Amazon?  I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket.
