Impressions | aune AR5000 Full-Size Open Headphones with MLD Driver
Excited to hear these - I enjoyed the video (though would have appreciated a spoken English version), and was interested to hear about the computer-aided modeling, etc., that went into their design.- jhwalker

Dr. Hans W. Gierlich On The Future of Audio Quality Testing: More Than Just Frequency Response
... but, IMO, there's a place for that 🤷♂️ I very seldom have the opportunity to listen to equipment (on my head, or certainly not in my house), so measurements and reviews are pretty much what I have to go on. Improving the quality of such should be quite useful, to me and others in similar...- jhwalker

Introducing the LCD-i3
This is exactly my point. They have apparently just abandoned the ability to manage EQ for all of the in-ear phones using the Cipher cable. Given they sound HORRIBLE without EQ, unless you just happened to have a good EQ stored at the time they made this change, you're just out of luck. At...- jhwalker

Introducing the LCD-i3
Wow. This is REALLY poor service. An application update that completely disables an expensive product only a couple years old, with no warning and no recourse. If this is how Audeze operates, this is certainly the last Audeze product I will purchase. Wow. Again.- jhwalker

Agreed - after the firmware update (and the new ear tips), I've very pleased with the Gemini :)- jhwalker

I actually like the case provided quite well - it's minimal, but It does what it needs to do and doesn't take up a lot of space 🤷♂️- jhwalker

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
I guess "big" is a relative term - the Gemini charging case is not so small as (say) the AirPods Pro, but not so large as some I've seen. They're really all about the same size, as far as I can tell 🤷♂️ I mean, none are so large as a deck of cards, or so small as a sugar cube ... And I don't...- jhwalker

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Just a quick update on the Devialet Gemini. The new firmware has completely resolved any issues I had (mostly where at least one of the earbuds would discharge to 0% while in the case) and sound is still fantastic. ANC is VERY good (literally, almost no sound gets through and tone really...- jhwalker

I wish mine would come back to life. I’ve been sitting here all evening trying every “fix” suggested, over and over. No dice. About time for me, at least, to throw in the towel.- jhwalker

No ... but like many other buds, you use a button-press on the case to trigger pairing. So after the update, my buds were no longer paired with my phone, and now I can't re-pair them with my phone, or anything else.- jhwalker

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Yes, have tried all that - I really don't think it's the phone. I think the case is simply bricked - it's completely non-responsive - though, oddly, it still seems to charge the earbuds ... so at least they won't run down, even if I can't listen to them :P- jhwalker

Both of my earbuds updated first try, but the case is bricked :/ so I can't re-pair them with ANY source. So I have two up-to-date earbuds but no way to use them :( NOTE: There is a tech note on their website re: getting a case to update - doesn't work for me. Mine seems completely dead...- jhwalker

For me, it's mobility. I use mine for work / Zoom working from home (plus music / movies when / if I ever wind up traveling again) - I can't wander around the house in my undies with wired earbuds.- jhwalker

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Like the earlier poster, I find the treble just a bit crisp, so I used the Devialet Gemini app to create a custom EQ that is stored with the buds so it is in effect from any source: So now it's JUST right ;)- jhwalker

The Liberty 2 Pros (along with the Apple AirPod Pros) are my favorites after the Devialet Gemini, and that's a great deal on them.- jhwalker

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Now that folks are beginning to receive their Devialet Geminis - what are your thoughts? I'll say mine have GREAT sound, but the Bluetooth pairing / switching between devices, etc., is ... not what I expected after using Apple AirPod Pros for the past few months. The Apples are pretty much...- jhwalker

Introducing the LCD-i3
Thanks for this - sounds GREAT to me. The i3s always sounded a bit "tubby" and muffled with the default Cipher v2 EQ, but this sounds really nice: bass is balanced, mid-range no longer congested, treble airy :)- jhwalker

Introducing the LCD-i3
These are really meant to be EQ'd, either via the Cipher cable or via parametric EQ. Without EQ, some may find them listenable, but they will sound a lot better with EQ. Does the "A&K Kann Cube" offer parametric or fixed-band EQ? FWIW, here are the parametric EQ settings I use (slightly...- jhwalker

Introducing the LCD-i3
Audeze has stated elsewhere the i4 option is VERY close to target for i3, but that they also plan to release an update to include an i3-specific setting. So probably best to use i4 for now until the i3 option is available.- jhwalker
