    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    Thanks! A little more confused now! :P Do you tend to use one more than the other? I'm still leaning towards the Mojo since it's -AU$200 at the moment and I feel like if I ever want to get it this is the time! Fiio Q5s can wait - considering how quickly Fiio keeps iterating their products by...

    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    I can see why the R3 matches with the Mojo. I was thinking of using the M6 on the same setup except it isn't as nicely stacked. Your 3d printed case looks great I was also thinking of doing when I get the Mojo... Looks like the Mojo with the M6 (which I have all ready) should be able to do a...

    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    Thanks guys definitely leaning towards the Mojo... The Chord Poly looks so good but it's definitely way out of my budget (but I suppose being an add on it's something I can aspire to!) @gazzington I was slightly tempted with the Hiby line but not the R3 as it's too similar to the Fiio M6 - the...

    Fiio Q5S vs Chord Mojo - which would be a better choice?

    So.. I've noticed that the Chord Mojos are now selling for AU$599 I was looking at the Fiio Q5S (selling for AU$530) but with all the positive reviews for Chord Mojo and the price drop, I'm a little unsure. Is the price drop a sign that Chord is updating the Mojo? The Bluetooth option in the...

    [FiiO M6] Portable High-Resolution Lossless Music Player,Embracing A Wireless Future

    How are you connecting to airplay? It's work on my local network as well as hotspot from the iPhone. Do you have other airplay devices on your network? Airplay requires wifi connection... With bt streaming there's an option in the BT menu to make it a receiver. You'll then need to turn BT...

    [FiiO M6] Portable High-Resolution Lossless Music Player,Embracing A Wireless Future

    Thanks. Unfortunately all files that I a using for comparisons are actually 16bit/44.1khz (and in ALAC) format So..... I understand that sound quality is subjective but it sounds very different. It's almost as if the music in unamped (that's the best I can do!) Yeah I can't wait until it can...

Is this compression on the iPhone side or the Fiio side?? Test...

    Comply Foam Tips for Sleek Audio SA 1?

    I know this is an old thread but..   I can confirm that the T-140 (for the Apple In-Ears) DO fit the Sleek Audio SA1. It's a bit of a tight squeeze but at least it doesn't pop off like the included double flanges. Also paired with the W1 (Kleer wireless receiver) its a joy as I feel it is...

    Should I sell my brand new replacement Shure SCL4

    Hmmm... I just sent my E4C and E500PTH - both suffered from cracked cables (I know I'm lucky...) Anyhoo they replaced the units. But now I have a brand new SCL4 should I sell it?!? I got my E4C before the E500 and have since been using the E4c's for the gym and was going to downgrade it...

    Best unamped IEM for under $200?

    super.fi 5 pro as well from me.... The bass is just a little more 'forward' - at the expense of the lower mids.... and they're reasonably priced as well...

    E4C Microphonics?

    could be imperfect fit? what ear pieces are you using. I found that I get a slight crackling sound using the foamies (but they are oh so comfortable...accept for taking them out...and putting them in....and.... u get the idea) Is it ALOT of microphonics? I find that vibrations from walking...

    um... have you contacted them? I heard that they're customer service is great. just got my about 2 weeks ago (no limited edition... plain ol' white ones for me) my came with removable cables... I'm assuming that all the super.fi pros are made the same.... its just the earphone casing...

    IEM & Air Travel (is there aplace in the world for Bose?)

    Yeah.... I'm leaning towards the IEM side. Just finished a 13+8 hour trip London>Melbourne. But found it quite ok with my brand new Shure E4c. I also had a Sennheiser PXC150 (which is noise canceling) and to be honest the Shure had better isolation (and sounded much better). The problem was I...

    Poor newb college student seeks IEM advice

    Hmmm I just got a pair of the V-moda vibes. They're pretty good and i think you can get the for around US$80 (on ebay etc...) and also the Sony's MDR90EX (or something like that.. its the 90 that's important...) isn't bad either... infact sounds similar to the Vmoda (I haven't had a chance to...

    Another question about e2c and er6

    Hmmm.... starting to get a good picture and definitely leaning towards the etys at the moment.... with a slight bias towards the er6i. I Do like powerful bass but have really tight thumps really get my juices flowing (i'm sure thats too much info Just throwing another one out there... been...

    Another question about e2c and er6

    I would like some isolation but its not the my main concern. Although a replacement for the dodgy pxc150 would be good as I tend to fly from Australia to hong kong a couple times a year. The reason why i tend to choose all the in ear phones is because, funnily enough, I found them (the sony's...

    Another question about e2c and er6

    Ok firstly, I have been researching the difference of the e2c and the er6 or er6i but along with getting alot of good info I'm also getting a lot of conflicting info - especially about the quality of these earphones (I understand that this is quite a personal taste/choice thing) What I am...
