Yep, Different tools for different jobs. Good luck trying to power a full size HP out of portable devices.

Hmm... not many of these popping in the classifieds. I want to try one for around $500, just incase I'm not enjoying the fit.

Is it because too many albums under an artist. Because, that's the only thing that I didn't do. I just left my library as Music/Albums/Tracks, rather than the recommended Music/Album-Artist/Albums/Tracks. It was a pain to build the playlist, but worked without any errors.

Just add this to your watch list and wait a couple of days. They will hit you with an offer for $799, then buy it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314196756667 It's basically brand new without the retail box. I think these are official warranty replacement units, that they're unloading.

I just followed this guide. I didn't have access to an android device, just enabled Android subsystem in Windows 11 and installed the APK for this app.

The connectors clicked right in, didn't have to put any additional pressure. I tested it a dozen times putting it on and off on the IE200 first. They're secure and are not breaking any connection (like the tripowins) when I press it against my ears (for a deeper fit).

Yes. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1179878767/

Received the scandi sound cable today. Connector quality is top notch and the cable is very well made. Ear guides are very soft and pliable. Handcrafted for $80 and was built and shipped same day.

This. Just put the phone in hotspot mode and Poly joins automatically thereafter after first join. Also, if you have good on-card playlists, you don't even need to provide hotspot. Just select the playlist from gofigure itself and it provides basic playback controls via bluetooth.

Rigelian has some issues displaying album art. 8player also works fine. Try both before paying for the PRO versions.

Even with third party repair, you will have to reshell that one piece which could be easily $500+, granted they're able to source the BAs used by JH. I would just cut the losses and go for something newer from a brand with better support.

Yes and Yes

This is pretty. Is this the same 8mm driver in Trio?

Hiby R3II. It's nice and compact, clean sounding and enough power. It's only $120 open box on Musictek
