Yeah you have to turn it off. Although it doesn't drain a ton of battery. Say you leave it in the living room and take your phone to the bedroom it will most likely shut off after a while. I usually just turn it off as a habit when I get home.

That explains it! I always thought Oriolus was a Japanese company, but I guess the truth is somewhere in between. The 1795 is way to big to be of any use. Might as well clip a DAP (again who would do this) to your shirt if you want to use this?

Honestly there is such a wide range of DAPs it's hard to say. I was thinking more similar range. Like say if you took the best DAP vs the best Bluetooth option, the best DAP would beat it for sure. Taking the cheapest of anything would result in crap as well. If you chose the cheap DAP vs...

SQ compared to anything wired, you are going to hear a little degradation. APTXHD or LDAC is pretty decent though. I think in an outside environment, you are going to be satisfied, since the reduction of cord tangle (not to mention the outside noise, your own footsteps, etc) kind of makes the...

Don't forget the promo code 20OFF

Yeah, the C3 X is right up my alley with all the XLR connections. I'm so very tempted and to me the back end is also done nicer than the regular 3.

I have a feeling you would probably need to go with a unit that gives you more power, like an ES100 or BTR5. It's pretty normal to get less power output since this is a bluetooth device with a pretty small battery vs anything else you would have been using like a phone or a dedicated source or...

In that case, RIP battery life LOL.

I don't have great experiences with the call quality, but then I can't even find the microphone. Any idea where it is? Hidden underneath a button?

Yeah but replaceable battery would make it larger, which is what I don't want. Also proprietary batteries, chargers etc, ew. Battery life on these little devices have improved by a ton, and I think will do so even more. I have a little sports motion sensor about the size of a quarter and...

I really hope future versions of these adapters can have wireless charging. These small electronic devices I think benefit the most from that. They are small mAh so doesn't take long anyway, and also less chance to break the little door or connector.

What how did you get one? I checked and it's not available anymore?

I would say it's AptXHD with the Kann Cube that's giving problems. Other users have been OK with the AptX HD. I have the S9+ which sadly does not have AptX HD just AptX, and the Shure doesn't support LDAC. Oh well. iPhone 8 only supports AAC and SBC. AAC seems to be similar to AptX. Cube...

Ouch. This shouldn't be a firmware thing. Connection is a pretty basic necessity. Otherwise a lot of other people would be complaining of the same thing and they'd be doing a mass recall. I get garbled audio only when I get interference. The range isn't amazing like @TK33 I only walk about...

I don't do the clip because it's very tight. Just put it into polo shirt or shirt opening. Good enough. Battery life is solid. Only complaint is occasional interference, but that's just a bluetooth thing it seems.

Sorry but the volume isn't going to be the same as wired. The signal is amplified by the BT2 versus your player or phone. Each device has their own specs and won't come out as the same volume even for the same IEM/Headphone.

Hard to say what causes dropouts, but you can switch environments if you haven't already to test it. It has worked well for me, better than my old bluetooth solution (Bose Soundsport), but still cuts out a tiny bit at crosswalks here in Hong Kong. I don't think you can avoid that. It's...

Wow looking forward to the BTR5. Should be exactly what I'm looking for!

Thanks I just learned something new. LDAC! S9 has LDAC, but.. and now I'm bummed again LOL since the Shure doesn't support LDAC. Sigh. I really fell hard for the AptX marketing and didn't know LDAC was better. Everything is pointing towards something else now. That's good to know! Thanks...

Yes that did occur to me, although after I clicked the buy button lol. The Shure is a more compact solution though. And I wasn't sure if I could get as compact a package as an all in one solution from Shure. Though now it does seem tempting. The Shure BT2 is so compact though, but maybe I'll...

What are you talking about? Do you actually have the S9 and did any research? They said they were going to include it but didn't. It's quite simple. You can google it and only people saying they don't have it, not the other way around. Pixel 3a has it, Huawei P30 and pro have it, LG G7, 8...

I just got one, and the audio quality is decent. I'm starting to really hate having cables dangle around, and having to finagle with a player amp stack. The clip is solid and a bit too tight I think, but it's very slim and does it's job. I got cutouts at weird places that I didn't with my...

Hm... Not sure how they made it worse than the original? I have the originals still and use them at work. They sound great driven with enough power. The review doesn't say what they used. Driving from a cell phone it's normally pretty lackluster kinda like what was described. Curious though...

Agree that for the isine 20, I like how the sound is so different and like others have mentioned not stuck in ear canal like a regular IEM. However, the open design really is itself detrimental to commute use. While it's safer that I can easily hear surrounding ambient noise, the music...

How's the mojo working out with the S8 for you?
