    Official Sony WF-1000XM3 Thread - Noise Cancelling True Wireless Earphones

    EQ on Sony headphones pretty drastically change the sound of the earphone. Thats the beauty of those headphones if you're willing to spend a little time to customize the sound. I've been extremely happy with the following EQ: 400: +1 1k: +1 2.5k: +2 6.3k: 0 15.6k: +1 Clearbass: +2

    Agreed. A good sealed IEM probably lets less sound in that a vented ANC earbud. The one thing you are giving up with traditional IEMs though is transparency mode which comes in very handy.

    Airpods pro

    I would say that these are very much of a sidestep from the Sony earbuds. The airpods are a lot more seamless with iphones, are more compact, have better mics, are more comfortable, and have slightly better transparency mode than Sony earbuds. They both have similar battery life and comparable...

    Airpods pro

    I agree that the WF-1000xm3 with ANC on does have flabby bass, but with ANC off the earbuds sound pretty darn great, especially with some slight EQ tweaks in the Sony app. I typically rarely use ANC while listening to music since with the compy tips, very little noise makes it in while playing...

    Airpods pro

    I just got my pair earlier today and so far i haven't been very impressed from sound quality or ANC perspective. I have a pair of Sony WF-1000xm3 with comply tips and they blow the airpods pro out of the water in both departments. In my opinion, if you've trieds airpods, expect better fit...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    That looks amazing!  I can't wait to receive my silver BHSE in a few weeks. Speaking of which, is there any update as to when the next batch will ship?  Originally Justin hinted that they would be every 2 weeks but not sure that is still the case.

    Perfect Wave DAC Owner Unite

    I use the hifi tuning supreme fuses on my PWD and they made a nice difference in my dac before I had upgraded to Mk. II.  Never installed the critical link fuses so can't comment on how good those are...probably better than the stock one though

    The Schiit SACD/DSD Research Thread--Your Chance to Win a Bifrost!

      1. Are you familiar with SACD? DSD? Yes 2. Do you own any SACDs?  No 3. If so, what percentage of your collection is SACD vs CD or files? Files 100% 4. Is SACD/DSD decoding an important consideration when you're looking for a DAC?  Potentially, if there is a distribution method...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    I completely agree with this statement. I feel that rubber feet and isolation make a much bigger difference in something like a turntable where the needle needs to read the grove with as little vibration as possible. This is even more of an issue if you are listening to speakers, which will...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    Hey Justin, just out of curiosity, I see that the silver BHSE units on the shelf have black anodized feet.  All your previous ones used to be silver, which I personally think looks better and goes with the silver faceplate better than the black feet.           If i'm correct the...

    Perfect Wave DAC Owner Unite

    Yeah, firmware issues is kind of nuts.  Way too much discrepancy between all the different versions, but I guess that's what happens when you have a dac streaming from a network.  It's probably similar to how Pure Music and Amarra slightly change sound signature every time they tinker with their...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    I guess they don't show that option for everybody then.  I looked over Paypal for 10-15 mins. and couldn't find it in mine even though I have a bank account and cc linked in.   Quote:
