The LG Tone DFP9 and DT90Q seem to offer the same feature as the Bowers PI7. Never heard them, don't own them, etc. but read about the feature. I've seen the DFP9 for around 99 USD...

What didn't you like about the build quality?

Soundcore Q20, Edifier W820 or any Sony, Philips or JBL set of cans should do. You may want to check if any of the cheaper sets turn off automatically.

You will often read "crap in, crap out". So higher quality source files or better uncompressed will make a difference. And I think many would consider the Bathys a true hifi headphone, at least in wired mode. I would always recommend comparing and judging for yourself. Depending on your...

If I am reading your posts correctly, your main issue so far is, that you couldn't find details on how to report the issues with your IE900? (While still within warranty)

You could order in Germany. There are at least a few vendors that ship directly to Belgium.

Thanks to all the previous posts, I've dropped the idea getting into "big business" and starting another headphone company. :beerchug: But back to the ST, has somebody looked at the pads to see if there's a Dekoni set that could fit? Not that I dislike the pads, but wouldn't mind trying...

I've heard none of these headphones, but I have always found it hard to simply describe nuances of SQ or sound signature with "best". I sometimes wish there was a "best" within this hobby, but then realize that having options and different sets of cans for different types of music or just a...

From what I am reading in almost every review, they do.

I was just about to leave some feedback about the Oppo Enco X2 and it seems you didn't just have the same approach on buying them twice, but the same issues to get a good seal. For me the tips from a set of unused Edifier TWS did the trick. I am not blaming Oppo but my elephant ears. To me...

I just got the ST's a couple of days and while I have a collection of IEMs that I really enjoy listening to, there is always some sort of noise coming from the cable, unplugging IEMs because my wife is yelling at me and while both of these things are not a big deal (don't tell my wife) they seem...

Just a quick update: I will definitely keep the ST's. They sound great, they are comfortable, the ANC and passive isolation is great... Just to call out a few of the items I enjoy. I am not sure if if I would agree with the statement that they are hard to drive. The DCAs Aeon Noires and Fostex...

ST arrived and they are impressive. I have done some AB testing with the Aeon Noire 2 and there are things I prefer on the ST and other things I prefer on the Noires. Sound-wise it would be hard for me to see a clear winner and I may end up keeping both sets of cans. I know some folks will see...

Thanks a lot Daniel. That sounds convincing enough to give it a try! :)

Can somebody comment or compare the ST to Dan Clarks Aeon Noires - I am wondering if the ST could be my one and only "high end" set of cans. I have also tried to find a clear compare ANC against Sonys XM4s, XM5s or Bose's QC 45 or 700. Just wondering if it is worth a try SQ... Thanks

I am using the BT-W3 on my Samsung S21 and it works. Should receive a dongle that supports APTX adaptive tomorrow and will give it a shot with some of my non LDAC cans and tws...

Hope this helps 😀 S12, Hook-x and Volume

The 5909 does support LDAC in addition to APTX Adaptive, the MW75 does not.

Anybody got the OPPO Enco X2 incoming? The dynamic + planar driver combo, LDAC etc. sounds very interesting. That being said, Huawei's FreeBuds Pro 2 may be worth a listen too...

Regarding the posts about low/high gain... What I seem to notice with the S12 is that I do have a preference for e. Xduuo XD05 Bal and Violectric Chronos vs. some of the other amps or dongles. I realize that most of you will probably say that's just normal, but I am not hearing a significant...

That were also my thoughts and impressions.

You are correct on the ANC. I found the Shure Aonic 50 to be the most natural and pleasant sounding Bluetooth headphone in the below 400 USD price range. I returned the XM5, XM3s and the Technics EAH-A800 and kept my Bose for actual travel - where sound quality is always affected and comfort is...

Hi folks, due to some work related changes I will be travelling a bit more, but will need to travel light. Back in the day there used to be the Sennheiser PX100, PX200, AKG K420, Koss PortaPro etc. and at least PortaPro is still out there. What I am searching for us a lightweight and sturdy...

Wireless charging had to be removed so there is one more reason to buy their new TOTL TWS 😉 For me the very small case size is a nice improvement which would be larger and slightly heavier with Wireless charging. And while the case is tiny it would still allow you to use Spinfit CP100 or other...

I think they do, as if the phone does not support APTX Adaptive it should fall back to APTX HD. I assume that's what and why a lot see HD showing up. Based on my understanding this is not related to the headphones but the APTX codec.
