So today I fired up my amp with an Elex plugged in. Nothing playing nor was I wearing the headphones yet when I think I heard a pop emanate from the Elex and when I went to listen nothing came out the right channel. Oddly enough, when I slowly pull the jack some sound comes out the right...

Any of you MOJO owners ever have those micro USB slots fail? I have not owned a single device with that component that did not fail and I am interested in this unit but micro USB concerns me.

When I was in highschool around 1990 Japan was the leader by miles in portable audio. Exchange students from Hong Kong always had the sweetest cassette players, super compact, all metal with remotes and logic controls, stuff that was years ahead of what we got here. My first steps in...

Kinda late but Alice in Chains Unplugged will blow your mind. Incredible recording.

Just bought a new LG V10 961N because my first just got bootloop and they now go for a relative bargain of just $265 CDN. Anyways, the earphones look similar but are NOT the same and sound like crap, heavily muffled. The differences in appearance are the finish with it being less brushed and...

I found it difficult to believe that the HTC would possess superior audio to a phone with an audio chip by a highly respected manufacturer. The ESSS chip is used in some of the highest rated dacs on the market. It would be difficult for any makers to quickly create a competitive technology.

Thanks for your perspective. You make a good point regarding the various Android media reviews. Many, if not most, are not audiophiles or even that critical regarding sound and I take their opinions very lightly. I don't know how many reviews I read where thet gave the V10 low scores on audio...

I would love to see a real thorough review between these 2 phones with multiple sources of music at varying rates of quality being played, different genres etc plus measured objective comparisons. It will take a lot for me to accept my beloved V10 has been dethroned as the best audio from a phone.

Russian Circles- Geneva.  They are an instrumental band .

Just wanted to thank this posterr ofr the tip. I had just posted with my impression on the V10 with my disappointment in the gain setting for low impedance headphones, specifically my Urbanites, but this information helped big time. With this method I was able to trick the amp to a much higher...

I am really loving this phone thus far but I must admit that there is an issue with volume on certain headphones. I am reading these comments and there are folks jumping down their throats as if they are making it up because "they" have not experianced this issue. Cool it. Not everyone is using...

Guys, just a heads up if you tend to knock about your headphones or not baby them. My headphones have developed a crack at the earcup "Y" junction. I was able to super glue it but that isn't a durable solution. Just keep an eye on that area and be gentle. While I do not consider this to be a...

My beloved EPH 100s are finally losing volume in the left bud. Really liked the Yams a bunch but awhile ago bought some Panasonic HJE900 via Japan for about $150 total and these are really close in overall SQ.  The Yams may have more vocal focus overall but had better bass impact while the HJE...

I am still amazed that there seems to be no simple straight forward answer but some folks it works and some it does not and if it works, I don't know whether it's just the amp or both amp and dac which is what we want. There are literally dozens of threads on this subject with various answers...

There were certain characteristics that made the eph100 special and a big one was clarity.They are very clear,especially for being driver based. They also had really well balanced mids,more forward which honestly most of the music is. Yet still has an impactfull kick to the bass that is never...

Heard the Dragonfly is a thinner sounding DAC. I use an HRT Headstreamer connected to my Macbook. The HP100 definitely sounds far better through the headstreamer which also has an amp along with a DAC. It is a cheap bare bones device but makes the Soundmagic sound way better. I think these...

A couple years late but for anyone still interested regarding kics question regarding bass. I own both the Yam and Pan and if you found the Panasonic weak on the bass don't bother with the Yamaha. They both deliver a quality bass that is never boomy but the Panasonic is just a bit more forward...

Still love my HP100 but they have fallen a couple of times and have broken at the crotch of the Y cup attachment. What is a bit of a mystery and I am a bit surprised I haven't read about this anywhere is the apparent lack of conductor to the drivers through this  Y piece. Am I missing something...
