Yes, if I've understood correctly the D-Zero only recharges when the Charge-switch is engaged, other than that it uses the internal battery even when connected through usb. I'm under the impression that E7 and E17 also have this same functionality but I don't have personal experience using them...

There's a whole thread about the N8 in this same subforum that tells all about how to utilize the Usb otg to feed music to an external dac, check here. I actually bought the N8 just to use as a dap, since neither the sound quality nor the battery life of my Motorola Defy was good enough to allow...

Is your E7 recharging through the host cable, that would definately eat the battery quickly. When I tested the host functionality with my desktop dac/amp (Aune Micro Usb Mk2) battery draw was somewhere between 5 and 10% per hour: definately more than listening through the headphone out, but...

  Quote: The batteries that came with my 220's are 800mAh GP's, so pretty much GP's standard Recyko without the fancy stickers. I think the technician must've meant that you should use at least 800mAh quality batteries, because on cheaper batteries the voltage tends to dip when the...

Ah, sorry, missed that you're from Canada. At least Sennheiser says there is no automatic level control (Kleer Comparison pdf in the upper right corner) in other than the 180, and after two years use I haven't noticed anything to that effect in 180's unless the ALC is activated (it never is...

My take on the RS120 vs RS180 vs RS220 is that at least the version of 120 I bought five years ago, was considerably worse in both range and sound quality than the 180, and that the difference was much bigger than between 180 and 220. I used the 120's for three years, but can't remember much...

The RS160 can be had for just under 200$ http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS-160-Wireless-Headphones/dp/tech-data/B002SOU2Y0/ref=de_a_smtd   Also AKG has a cheap wireless that has received fairly favorable reviews, the K912. It uses UFH frequencies so not quite as goog as the Kleer in the...

Yeah, that pretty much the same thing I discovered after doing a bit more research. Custom cables start from about 50 bucks, and even if you could get the needed pinouts for the host mode to work, that is quite a sum for an usb cable. So the normal host adapter with angled head combined with a...

It seems that the DJ200 is now available. I've been waiting for this for a while to see how the pricing pans out, and I must say it is a bit disappointing, I would've hoped for something closer to 100$ since it really just is DJ100 with detachable cord and a carry case. I think Koss is shooting...

Thanks for the quick responses, I was strongly leaning towards N8 already and your answers have pushed me over the edge. I am currently waiting for a couple of auctions to end, hopefully the prices won't go too high. Good thing about living in Finland is that Nokia still has a pretty good share...

I'm on the look for a DAP that has at least 32Gb internal storage, (preferably more) or the option to use a mini SD-cards, is robust and small enough to be in my pocket all the time, has fm-radio, gets at the least ~12 hours of playtime without charge, has Spotify offline playlist capacity and...

Yeah, now that I actually checked the manual instead of relying on my memory, it doesn't say about the pairing changing anything. It does seem that your problem was because of interference, and since the troubleshooter just proposes to move the transmitter to another location, there probably...

Did you try pairing the headphones again like it says in the manual, apparently that goes through the available frequencies and tries to find the best? Maybe it's just down to luck, my 220's are in an area where there is three wifi networks spread across the whole channel range and several...

Yup, keep the source volume at max and adjust it at the headphones, if the signal coming to transmitter is too weak it will go to standby after 5 minutes. It probably could happen during a long, quiet scene if the source volume is too quiet, but I've had RS180's for two years now and they've...

  Quote:   If I had to choose just one, it would definately be the RS220, just due to the sound quality. I actually haven't listened to my 180's for more than maybe 5 minutes since getting the 220's two weeks ago, and I have been listening to much more music than usually. For me the...
