Not hate. Just disappointment that this might start a trend. I admire the desire to be different but the practice is probably going to be Marmite as we would say in the UK.

Now see! It can be done. A little bland and smart phone looking but at least you don't feel compelled to pluck your own eyes out when using it. My faith in Korean stylists is almost restored

Ha! Maybe. I am sure their styling budget is not as great as the Bavarian car maker. But surely the Koreans can find machines that can do curves?

I really don't understand. The AK100 and AK120 have a sort of understated elegance. What the hell happened in the boardroom when someone took the AK240 in and said "here we go, isn't this fab!"?   I agree to a point that it is about the sound but come on. Car ownership is all about the driving...

What!!! Designed by Stevie Wonder perchance. I don't care how good it sounds, I would be embarrassed to be seen with it. U. G. L. Y.

Listening on these now as I type. First album so probably not representative of how they will sound in a month or so. I am actually quite impressed. Not normal a MF fan as I find the sound a bit thin but I needed a set of foldable headphones for the new longer commute and these fit the bill...

I might have a couple of units I would be willing to sell if we can get a list together.

I have just bought a Bose Soundlink Mini wireless speaker for when I am working away from home and don't want to put headphones on. £170 compared to £120 - £180 for a Jambox or Soundmatters equivalent. In limited testing in shops I thought the Bose sounded fuller and better so I bought it...

I also ripped everything to FLAC. Took me two years but it was worth it. If you start with your most listened to music it can take the stress out of it. I don't use the C3 with a BH but I can verify that it is worth the investment in time in getting the source files as good a quality as...

TrollDragon   I don't know if it was a blip but the sound level seems to have restored itself now. I tried to reset it (doesn't normally work) and it seems ok this morning, if a little quieter than normal.   Gremlins!!

Help! I have just upgraded the firmware to 10.0.0.6 (not a pleasant experience again) and now the sound volume level seems have gone right down. I have to turn it up full just to hear anything. Anyone else encountered this or am I the lucky one?

Quote: Dryvadeum   Not that I have noticed. I am not a bass head but some of my music has strong baselines and I have not noticed any reduced impact on the C3

Quote:   The C3 is much better quality, at least in terms of music. The interface is poor in comparison and you will not enjoy finding the music so much but once you hit the play button you will be blown away. It depends on what music you listen to but anything with simple voice and...

Dryvadeum   No hiss that I notice. All sounds very clean and precise. Way above what I have heard from my Graham Slee Voyager or Little Dot

I have been enjoying my AHA-120 for about a month now and it "just" (sorry - pun intended) keeps getting better. Everything seems so much clearer and cleaner. It works best with my Colorfly C3 but the Cowons benefit too.   I can rediscover so much music now!
