The amp supports Bluetooth 5 and aptX HD ( https://www.aptx.com/aptx-hd ) but I didn't realize some phones came with aptX disabled and you have to root to enable it. Wow, that's just lame. No wonder some people weren't impressed with the bluetooth on this amp. I'm using LG V10 and it...

You can also connect Big Blue to your phone via USB OTG cable. Works for Android anyway, so you don't lose any quality.

Logged in to my 10 year old account just to say this amp is good. First bluetooth amp that sounds like wired. He-400i headphone.

  I'm also looking for this information.  This phone has a great DAC !... very musical and full in bass.  I've upgraded to LGv10 which has a 32-bit DAC, but while it has superior treble and separation, the bass is very anemic and thin.    The Zmax beats it by a mile and more.

I think the IEs are worth the price because: 1) big bass in a small package.. great for outdoors where other buds sound like thin paper. 2) great soundstage 3) natural voice presentation 4) non-isolating. they are not iem's and superior to most earbuds. 5) zero fatigue. the bose roll-off...

I don't listen to iem for more than 30 minutes at a time. For one, the ear pressure causes fatigue, and after 30 minutes my hearing feels unbalanced. Listening to any hifi headphone for more than an hour makes the outside world sound dull, as if I start to lose my high frequency hearing... for...

The zune sounds more transparent and have greater dynamics. If you don't know what that means then you probably can't tell the difference especially if you're using average headphones and/or listening outdoors. On the other hand, the iPod classic supports component video which is awesome!!

I just got my zune today and the zune software is horrible! much worse than itunes. It's slooow and keeps hanging during synchronization. sheesh. i've been trying to sync 1 album for the past hour and it managed to copy 3 songs. the software also tries to be smart by copying every mp3 thats...

I don't recommend Maha brand at all. - ALL of their batteries die slightly after 1 year... even worse for their 9Vs... some die in just 2 months. - Their c204w charger often completes before the battery is fully charged. For an "intelligent" charger, its quite dumb. For a charger, I...

how does the "fake" sound compared to the real one? If they're comparable in sound quality, I'll take the $34 fake any time.

On the contrary, I think AT&T cheated you by selling the iphone at full retail price and yet still locked it down to their network. Normally locked phones are sold at subsidized price.. Did you try the software hack yet or are you trying the hardware route?
