The EU deals thread has been very good over the last few years however now we in the UK are now charging silly taxes for goods coming into the UK and I'm assuming for EU customers who buy from the UK, I thought it was time to start a UK deals thread. The EU deals thread is still great but any...

They’ve arrived Nice little hand written note included. Currently listening straight out of box with default tips, 2.5mm to Fiio Q5. Will need to try the Comply tips, they are my usual go to tips. Very early impressions are good with the default tips, don’t want to say too much until...

I've just placed two classifieds but pictures not uploading, I've managed it before so not sure what the problem is.

I use a LG G5 Android phone which uses the new USB-C connection for charging etc.  I've just bought a DAC which only comes with a cable for usb micro to micro.  I've bought a cable that is USB-C to usb micro like this - https://usb.brando.com/prod_img/zoom/UCABL021600_1.jpg but it doesn't...

Couldn't see athread for this so thought I'd start one. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyrussoundkey/cyrus-soundkey-dac-bringing-your-music-on-the-move http://soundkey.cyrusaudio.com/ Claims to have low drain on phone battery, but no mention of DAC being used. I've ordered through...

Read alot on both these iem's but still struggling to choose one, many people been able to compare?

I've got a budget of around £350/400 for new Iem's. They will be a 2nd pair to my Akg k3003 but they will get a lot of use. Not expecting to surpass the sq of the 3003. In the past ive had a good mixture of iems from etys to w4 etc. So far ive looked at importing the jvc fx850 or trying one of...

I'm a little confused over a purchase I've made and am looking for someone to explain it to me. Bear with me on this, over the years I've owned many different Iems, daps and portable Amps but never a DAC or DAC/amp combo. In the last couple of weeks I've bought a Sony PHA-2 amp/dac. I bought it...

After a few years of various DAP setups inc Ipod classics/touches with amps, various Cowon and iriver palers and even the mighty DX100, I have gone back to minidisc.   I think I may be having some kind of mid-life retro crisis going on(I'm 42).  I recently bought a used good condition RH1...

Ok as stated in title I have a budget of around £180 to buy new headphones. All of my headphone experience is mainly IEMs. Currently using either Phonak 232 or AKG K3003. My only real experience of full size headphones are my Shure 440, I like them but would like to go up a level or 2. My...

I owned an Ibasso DX100 which broke a few weeks ago aftera drop in the kitchen. My house insurance are about to send payment for me to buy a new one, however I've even thinking of testing the Colorfly C4. I loved the sound from the DX but curious about the C4. I know at the moment it doesn't...

Over the last few years I've used IEM's for all my listening, will be using from today an Ibasso DX100 and although I will still be using my IEM's I would like a full size headphone for listening at home through the Ibasso and for gaming on my laptop. Would prefer headphones that dont leak...

At the moment I currently use an ipod classic(7th) gen with a Just Audio 120 amp, very happy with the quality through either my Minerva Mi3 customs or the Sennheiser i8's. Recently I've been looking at the wave of high quality dap's on the market and may buy one, not sure which one between the...

I'm on the verge of buying the Westone 4 but unsure wether to buy the older model or the new removable cable version, anybody able to give an opinion on wether there is any difference in sound quality? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

  A while back I started a thread on the high cost of buying custom iem's in the UK.  In the thread a company called Minerva was suggested to me who were selling customs for approx half the price of ACS who are the other custom iem maker in the UK.   After reading the following threads -...

A few weeks ago I started a thread on high cost of customs here in the UK. Now it's my 40th next month and my other half is going to help me fund either the Westone 4 or Minerva Dual or Triple driver customs. At the moment I use either um3x or ie8 both of which I am happy with but always been...

  Hoping for a bit of help/advice with this.  My IEM journey has been around 6 years and taken in many brands, been fun at times listening to different signature sounds.  For the last few months been enjoying the Westone UM3x and thought maybe that was the end of the road for me.  However we...

I've been using iphones for the last couple of years for my source but just recently have started to think about a separate mp3 player.   Was looking at either the Cowon J3, Sony A846, Sony X1060(seen a couple on ebay), Zune HD 32gb or a Zune 120gb.   Not too bothered about video...

For the last 6 years or so like so many others on here I have been trying to find the IEM that brings me the ultimate listening experience.   I think with the UM3x i may have found that.   Took delivery of these a few days ago and have been simply amazed by all aspects of this IEM.  Fit...

I'm going to buy one of these next week and need a little help deciding. Currently own IE8, which I'll be keeping. Source is ipod touch and mustang amp. Was more or less decided on the Ortofons but then started reading the threads on the Coppers and now cant decide. As much as I love...

Ok here is another which amp should I buy thread! I'm looking for a portable amp to use with an ipod touch(3rd gen) and my Senn IE8 and every so often Ety HF5's. Not really bothered a DAC although I wouldnt rule it out. Also not too concerned about swapping op-amps etc as I dont really...

Starting a thread on these headphones, as far as I'm aware only one person has bought these so far on the forums. Ordered mine today from iheadphones for £69.99 which is £30 cheaper than anywhere else here in the UK. Will be here tomorrow so will give an account on how they are out of the box...

I'm a bit new to full size headphones, been using IEM's for the last 5/6 years, currently using Sennheiser IE8's. In the last couple of weeks I've bought Sennheiser HD555 and followed this up with a Asus Essence STX for my PC. I really like the 555's but would like some other phones that...

After much reading on various sites I've decided to buy the Asus Essence STX soundcard, got a couple of queries to ask before i take the plunge. My PC does not appear to have any molex connections for me to power the STX, my graphics card(a PNY 9800gt) is powered by a type of connection i...

I know this probably gets asked a lot, and I did search before posting but still couldnt come to a decision. I want to buy a soundcard for my PC, will be using mainly to drive Sennheiser 555 and every so often maybe my IE8's. Will never have speakers connected. Music and games are the...
