The last (and only) thread I found was small and from quite a while ago ... so I thought I better start a new one than go necro. I got several Synths, digital workstations like a Yamaha MODX, analogs like a Korg Minilogue XD etc. I thought about a few things with relations to synths: - Synths...

12 means not overly large ears, so very bulky ones can't reall ybe used. Also, it being a girl, she won't like very agressively styled things. What would you recommend for this use case? Chi Fi is fine. Pricewise, I guess the ZS10 Pros would be up there, but they seem to be quite bulky...

I got my new Topping DX3 pro DAC/Amp and at first I used it at home and it worked with a pair of UE TF10 I had in it ... now at work I plugged in two headphones .. one worked fine for a while ... but then sudenly the right IEM would heat up and die ... tried another set of very cheap crap things...

I (seriously) wondered: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TRN-MMCX-2Pin-Connector-3-5-2-5Balanced-8-Core-Copper-Silver-Mixed-Cable-For-TRN/32945443691.html?spm=2114.search0604.8.4.25a9764aR1Xvnz Octocable, claimed 99.9999% (aka 6N) purity and a bit of silver nonsense for colouring. At a silly...

A bit of a silly question maybe, I don't know, but are the two-pin connects standardized in some way (distance between pins etc)? Or is there only MMCX as a standard to be sure you can use your expensive cable on many (MMCX-) headphones?

I'm googling my behind off to find such a device. It seems, the available stuff only has TVs / HiFi racks etc in mind with either analog cables or optical digital etc. I want something very simple: Transmit all audio from my Laptop/PC (music, youtube, games, whatever) to an LDAC/AptX-HD...

Not for me, but trying to help someone else. Another requirement is: no microphone (somewhat paranoiac). So a classical on ear, preferably longish/large/softer (not a hard necessity) using BT (aptX or better). How they "hear" sound is not known ... so i can't say "prefers warm" etc ... just e...

A newbie question: If I own a Bluetooth headphone (Sony MDR-1ABT), and I'm listening to it via Bluetooth, LDAC, aptX etc, does the source matter in any way? I mean it is digital data, sent to a digital transmitter device, received digitally by the headset and the DAC is in the headset. So in...

So ... I'm not sure this is even a thing .... maybe any high quality IEM etc will do .. but I could imagine some have come out as the ones that hold best in your ear over bumpy rides or have whatever other reason to be good for rough sports. Any suggestions there? Bone conductors for ease of use...

I need a great pair of wireless earplugs, no normal headphones. I know radio is EEEEW among hifi enthusiasts,but it doesn't have to be perfect ... just good/okay. At home I'm quite happy with my Astro A-50 headsets for gaming for instance ... they transmit far .. nearly my whole apartment...

I got a gaming laptop, an ASUS G750JX. Already a huge thing, it sits in a big Dicota Casual 18" Messenger Bag. And I want a few headphones along for a decent gaming experience, headphones, that do not send out sound to the surroundings, but feature a mic for those online gaming times. Now I like...

Out of curiosity: Which is being considered the best Android Smartphone with regards to Audio ... i.e. reaching normal Cowon Soundquality or better with TF10s?

Just mentioning the TF10's, since some players have issues with the multiarmature in-ear ... I do want a nice frequency response. I have tried out a Cowon C2 ... nice sound etc, but I think whoever designs usability at theirs must be rather daft ... really weird decisions there and not intuitive...

So, decided to do something for my mother. She's only used to listening to crappy kitchen radio and a cheap little cramped "hifi" chain (actuall non-fi). I want to gift her some decent headphones, also to be used outside when working in her garden. There's a noisy road nearby, so they need to be...

Can someone recommend me a large Hifi Forum for generic questions to Hifi (not tied to a brand or only superhigh end etc)? I already know hifi-forum.de (which also has a larger english section), but maybe there are others?

I'd like to put something decent into my living room, which also has to have a high WAF. It should be a stereo amp, to drive the living rooms speakers (older Heco Cantata II). Also, it should be fed by one single source, a WLAN DLNA receiver, reading music from my NAS, mp3 and flac able. If I...

There was a very nice RMAA thread comparing various earphones and sources and nice graphs ... also the iBasso D10 and TF10's (which end up bad in this combo) ... but I can't find the darn thread, millennia hand and shrimp! Where is the elusive thing?

I'm looking for something effective and small without the bloat. I liked, how iTunes created folders etc based on the tags, but I'm not very fond of iTunes anymore as it can't handle other formats like FLAC, so I'm looking for a tool that does the same ... i.e. automagically looking through the...

Is it possible to put a simplistic, free VST Host directly after the WIndows 7 Audiomixer? I'd like to have the advanced VST Equalizers etc available in the Windows 7 Audioflow, so that I can influence sound through them totally regardless, what the Audiosource is (MP3 players, games, bowsers...

Just ordered my TF10s ... now I'd like to try out all kinds of tips to find the ideal fit and comfort. Do any tips out there fit  TF10? Can I just buy for example a Monster supertips sampler pack? Or what should I look into? I'm a bit confused with the options and search terms. I'm trying to...

I'm new to soundcards, only having used onboard since years. I bouth one mainly for Games, but now I have my iBasso D10 on the optical X-Fi Titanium fatal1ty out, disabled crystallizer and 3D Surround and set it to Entertainment Mode to listen to iTunes. Is this the maximum I can do to deliver...

A common chipset ... and in this ASUS B50 Cheapo Notebook, it actually sounds nice and has more than anough power to drive the 250 ohm DT880s. I have the D10 on USB on the side here, but I must say, the onboard sound is not that far away, if I use Trance .... which kind of astonishes me. It...

Friend got those plugs and is looking for a 50 US$ ish amplifier. I had the FIIO E5 in mind for his mobile ideas, but is there something better? Assembled cMOys sell in that pricerange ... a better choice?

I see some people in here with iRivers etc, that own very short TOSlink cables, just to link up an iRiver with some mobile amp (in my case an iBasso D10). It seems you can even egt those cables with 90 Degree angled connectors etc, which is kind of perfect. Are they all self made or can you buy...

Various threads if find more deal with 100$ and up with all the Monster Turbines etc. Now a friend of mine can only shell out 50-100$. I suggested he might first look at PortaPros etc, but he wants in-ears. Are there any non-exotic IEMs, that are viable in this priceclass, producing enough bass...
