Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
Picked up the Spinfit CP360's, L/M. Super nice! Most definitely enhances the top end and overall clarity, esp the mids. Feels like an overall upgrade across the board, going to give them a few days before posting thoughts. Using the medium sized buds, large I couldn't get a good seal for some...- Nintendam

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
you sir are 100% correct. the adapter does support aptX but the sony's do not, hence defaulting to SBC. (I am using the Homespot Bluetooth 5.0 adpater) Taking a look at the Genki and both the Genki and Sony's support AAC, but many of the reviews are saying they are having troubles actually...- Nintendam

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
After a month or so of heavy usage, I love the convenience of these (and the sound of course). Some questions: -I fall asleep with these in every day now, listening to audiobooks. My audiobook player has a sleep timer of 45 minutes, is there any way to have the xm4's turn off as well? I have...- Nintendam

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
Apologies if I am incorrect, but aren't you supposed to keep that on? For wired amp/headphone connection I thought you leave that on for maximum signal going through. I may be mistaken.- Nintendam

oh weird, mines linked. (android, note 8). Also most definitely no volume issues here! they get way too loud haha.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
yea one thing I did notice, it's all about the seal (of course). Switched the the larger tips and the ANC working wonders now. Still can't get rid of some vocals (girlfriend) but they are great- Nintendam

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
yea... previously i could change that with the xm3's but not here: https://imgur.com/a/pdWbJxJ just a general question, do you guys use DSEE extreme on or off? On for lower quality streaming like soundcloud and youtube?- Nintendam

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
just received em! First impressions, love the sound. better than the XM3's for sure, did some quick EQ (upped the treble a bit, lowered 1k mids, clear bass +2) but will dive in further. big sound, detailed, separated, soundstage is good. ANC wise, as above posts, yea i didn't really notice a...- Nintendam

Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread
Arriving by 9pm! Excited. I bought the wf-1000xm3 but returned them a week later a few months back, looking forward to the improvements with the xm4. All the reviews I've seen seem WAY too positive to be entirely true, tiding my expectations, but still excited.- Nintendam

Wireless bluetooth IEMS with noise cancelling (voices mostly), looking for recommendations around $300.
my bad! yes the WF thank you for clarifying. and on topic ANC or isolation.... depends I suppose! whichever really blocks out voices (and snoring) more. I never really liked ANC in the few i've tried (very briefly). feel like sound quality was always compromised or muffled a bit... But I am...- Nintendam

It's been a while since I've been here... and it's about damn time I came back. I understand wireless isn't the greatest sound quality, but I am looking for something decent while working from home moving about. I would like something with noise cancelling, myself and my GF working from home in...- Nintendam

Headphones for bed
hahah. Seriously! There are times when I wake up tangled in cords around my head and arms area.

Your “wow” headphones
hey me too! definitely the ones that got me into the rabbit hole. I gave my (semi) modded pair to my buddy to try and get him into the hobby. Though it was fine cause of all the more expensive ones i purchased... worst decision ever haha, don't think he even uses them (this was 10 years ago).- Nintendam

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
These do pair this much differently with tubes? I made the q1mkii with balanced cable jump, and it was night and day. I've never experienced headphones through a tube power source, although I have played guitar on a tube amp. Are listening to headphones through different tube powered amps that...- Nintendam

I picked these up and the cables look beautiful, nice end connections and I like the wood touch where they split.

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Thank you for the detailed reply, really appreciate it. I mean everything you mentioned Sonic wise sounds great improvement wise, I'll certainly look further into it. So with the mkii there's a bass boost switch, which is quite nice, but it's more mid-bass punch than sub-bass. I feel like that...- Nintendam

STUPID QUESTION BUT What does a DAC do???
Apologies reviving this thread from the dead, have had my first week with a DAC/amp combo (q1mkii with a balanced cable and 6XX) My first impressions are floored, I know this thread is old but do you see the mkii as oversampled or over colored? The bass boost most certainly adds some color but...- Nintendam
