Hi, I just learned there are 2.4Ghz earbuds out there with 100M range that use a USB dongle. So, you could plug the 2.4Ghz dongle transmitter into your Android TV and listen to low-latency audio from it up to 100 meters. I'm looking to stream audio from a Shield TV with some active noise...

Thanks to earlier advice on this forum, I've discovered AudioRelay which lets me send audio from my HTPC & Nvidia Shield TV streaming device to my cellphone over WiFi. My cellphone then sends that audio over bluetooth to my earbuds (razer & bose, depending on activity). Apt-X. This works great...

Was thinking about buying the lightest AptX capable cellphone to stream TV & music from my computer over WiFi. All I want it to do is connect to my computer over WiFi and stream via AudioRelay whatever I'm watching on TV or playing music. And also be able to use a data-only SIM in it for long...

Looking for ear buds that will have an LED on the outside that flashes. So, when walking my dogs at night, people can tell I'm wearing ear buds. And won't think I'm ignoring them when they call out and I don't answer. "Hey Man, get your ****ing dogs off my lawn" (I get that a lot) If no ear...

No headphone in use, just the drivers themselves (to be mounted in a helmet). My amp has dedicated 2.5mm balanced and 3.5mm unbalanced. So I'm going to re-solder my headphone drivers that came with 3.5mm unbalanced plug, to a 2.5mm balanced cable. Soldering the wires right onto the +/- on the...

Where can I find a good *right angle* 2.5mm jack that is pre-wired/soldered for balanced wiring and then just has the wires coming out that I can cut and solder the open ends to my individual ear pieces? Something like this--->

This is probably a dumb question but I couldn't find a quick answer with my search. I have headphones with 3.5mm male jack on them. And I'm noticing that many new portable amps have both 3.5mm "unbalanced" and 2.5mm "balanced" female jacks on them. With the 2.5mm balanced offering far more...

The "Help & Recommendations Forum" seems to be a dead link? I'm wanting recommendations for an AptX Bluetooth Receiver with at least 12 hours of playback time and has more power than most other portable amps. I'll be using it as an amp for in-helmet speakers. Most amps just don't have the power...

I was laying down on my couch with my head resting on the bolster. SNAP The head frame broke right on the top/middle section. The ear parts/speakers are fine. Does anyone know where I might go for a replacement frame? Mine were blue so that's what I prefer, but I think they were also available...

Hi folks, so I'm ripping all my CD's using dBpoweramp with the FLAC "uncompressed" highest quality setting. This is for storage on my PC RAID. I also want to do VBR at the highest quality setting for storage on my car computer's hard drive. Should I rip FLAC and then VBR back to back? Or...

I have a pair of Honeywell Sync Stereo Earmuff with MP3 Connection (RWS-53011). The built-in speakers aren't hi-fi but they are decent. And the ear protection is very good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FOBPUQ4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm eventually going to be...

Not sure if this is the correct subforum?  Please move if it's not.   http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/21/feature-spotlight-android-o-looks-like-it-will-add-support-for-aptx-bluetooth-streaming/     I just flashed the Android "O" preview on my Google Pixel XL and aptX is supported &...

Micro sized AptX Bluetooth headphone amp with bass boost? That is not much larger than a Fiio E6 so I can tape it to the side of my headphone?

Hey folks, I have the Velodyne vFree headphones and like them a lot. I use these strictly for home theater, watching action movies mostly - at loud volumes.  Louder than I should. The bass is decent but strains a bit at louder volumes and lower frequencies. Are these about the best I can get...

I'm on my neverending quest to get more volume from my HTPC with aptX Bluetooth headphones setup.  When watching TV it's got decent volume.  But all my movies seem to be recorded at lower levels.  My work-around has been to use media players that let me boost volume gain and that's worked okay...

I think I posted this question in the wrong subforum yesterday.   I already know the Koss PortaPro ear pieces can be easily removed and placed into a Motorcycle helmet.  But I prefer the specs of the Sennheiser PX 100-II due to much higher efficiency (louder capability vs Koss).  Could someone...

Guys, I already know the Koss PortaPro ear pieces can be easily removed and placed into a Motorcycle helmet.  But I prefer the specs of the Sennheiser PX 100-II better.  Could someone who has both headsets please compare the thickness of the Sennheiser ear pieces against the Koss to see if it's...

I'm looking at the Fireye Mini+, Mini, Fiio E6 and Hippo.  The Mini+ and E6 are just barely too big for the application I'll use them in, so I absolutely cannot use anything larger.   Problem is, while I have some 32ohm speakers, they aren't high quality.  And the only high quality speakers I...

Okay manufacturers who are out there reading Head-Fi, the next wave of micro electronics craze is just a year or two away. And it's for micro sized (1.5" x 1.5" x .5") APT-X Bluetooth headphone amps that are full-duplex so they pass-through microphone signal.  C'mon folks, get it done!  :)

I have two headphones, both are APT-X Bluetooth.  One's a jogging headphone and the other is a Velodyne vFree headset. My computer is Windows 7 x64.   Prior to installing the CSR APT-X driver, I was using the default Windows Bluetooth drivers.  And had acceptable volume levels.   But since...

EDIT: GO TO POST #15 FOR MY RESOLUTION: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/super-high-efficiency-drivers-for-diy-helmet-speaker-setup.698772/#post-17097376 ---------------------------------- I ride a full-fairing sport bike and do a lot of touring on it. None of the existing "motorcycle helmet...

I know I really should search for this.  But it's not my forte, so I'd need to learn the basics of cables to know what to look for. And I've spent about nine hours so far just researching something else, so I'm quite frankly, I'm all Google'd out at the moment.     Can someone point me to a...

My current cheapo Bluetooth headphones have buttons that pause & play any video that I'm watching on my computer.   Does anyone know of an over-the-ear Bluetooth headphone that also supports the fast-fowards and rewind functions (not next/previous)? Preferably waaay under $100 and do well with...

Re-posting my XDA forum thread here by request.  Thank you, head-fi.org for all the great info I got to help me get to this point!!! It's because of you guys that I discovered DAC's and put this together.     EDIT:  I haven't yet figured out how to do HTML tags here to make the [bold]...

First, I'm sorry to be posting newbie questions without searching more than I already have.   I'm here because you guys have the best rep on the Internet regarding headphone amps.  And it's not an area I've ever paid attention to because headphones have not (until recently) fit into my...
