we are approaching the beging of actual change in the Bluetooth voice space. while Bluetooth has made a lot of headroom in music/movies the stagnation and vaporware never seems to end in the conference calls / voice vaporware battle. aptx voice (as part of " snapdragon sound ") and super...

hello friends. I'm looking for the latest info on high quality codecs for microphones/calling /discord over mobile phone. which means, I'd like to know which of the following is no longer vaporware : - Bluetooth LC3 for voice (Android device) - hack for using USB microphone and Bluetooth...

One of the best cheap ways to get music in your car is to use the 3.5mm output of a bluetooth receiver dongle. Something like this, for example https://www.aptx.com/products/ugreen-bluetooth-receiver-audio-adapter This has the advantage of you not being tied your car's terrible bluetooth...

is Lc3plus (32kHz super wide voice) still vaporware?

What codec will the mic use over Bluetooth? Is it still mSBC or some new lc3 thing?

There are a lot of bluetooth receivers that output to 3.5mm, in order to make wired headphones wireless. However, most of these feature a built-in microphone, often of average quality. I would like one that has a 3.5mm port that can pass through a microphone that's id tape to my headphones. The...

Is there a device that allows you to use an in-line 3.5mm mic, plus aptx Voice?

Is there a way to disable the buttons? i press them by mistake and turn off my headphones when I lie down in bed

Do TWS 3rd gen and aptx Voice have a minimum snapdragon chipset requirement? Will it work with Snap 855 or do you need a newer one?

Because I have no idea what I'm doing, I just wanted to be an aptX Voice early adopter

What kind of MMCX to 2-pin adapter fits well with this, in terms of size/fit?

How can I tell if aptX Adaptive is working? My android device says it's using aptX HD. I'm curious weather I can get the 80ms advertised low-latency for casual gaming (e.g. Sonic 2 for android, or beat stomper). Also, side question, what is the voice codec that is being used, is it mSBC?

Hi everyone: I am trying to prove that people with Tympanostomy_tubes surgically installed in their eardrum (to relieve pressure or drain liquid from the middle ear), should be avoiding certain types of ear-sealing headphones, or certain types of bass. Most of the people who get this minor...

I have avoided browsing head-fi.org for years specifically because there is no wireless subsection. Where exactly am I supposed to find good reviews of APT-X HD and other near-lossless devices. this is ridiculous.

A few options, you could get a cheap adapter to convert non-optical SPDIF to optical, if available, or use optical output of your TV possibly. Or, an inline device that converts HDMI to HDMI+toslink. Not all elegant options, but they exist. There should be some combination that will allow you to...

It seems every time I pick up something in the 150$+ wired range I'm disappointed. Granted, I don't have many opportunities to use said equipment, mainly because I'm super satisfied with 50$ wired equivalents,  things like the Jaybird X2, the Koss Portapro, Logitech UE 4000, SteelSeries H...

In the review it says the RS185 were sometimes less engaging. Is there a way to make them more engaging via EQ?

Hi everyone.   I recently picked up the RS 175 and I have an RS185 add-on on the way. I find the RS 175's sound jarring compared to my SteelSeries H. I can't quantify exactly why my ears don't like it yet. I'm starting to play with Peace EQ...

Hello,   I tried getting some full-size headphones to upgrade my current setup of Fiio E5 + Koss Portapro. After trying DT770pro/80ohm, (insufficient bass), and MDR-XB700 (enough bass, but of the wrong "type") i've decided that full-size headphones are not for me (at least, not for music...

I looked at ebay before buying my xb700. The packaging looks fake , and theres a lot of hong kong sellers so I was pretty sure they were fake.   I bought mine from onhop.ca for 130$ all in.   Yes, it's 79$ everywhere in the US, *clap*

I think the problem is that I'm not cut out for full-size headphones. The only time I was able to achieve the bass I wanted was with portable headphones (Koss TNT-55) connected to a particular sound card, placed on my uh, cheekbone? Almost completely off my ears. Then I could safely crank it up...

Got the Sony XB700 today, and I think I like them so far. I still want more boom though :^D. I've got issues, I guess heh. I'm spoiled by Logitech 2.1 systems with the subwoofer knob....   All the other gear is for sale now :^)   Part of the problem is likely my computer soundcard, which...

I'm guessing the lame Sony stores in Canada won't have that unit on demo... I'll just have to take another chance. Here are my beyers, for some reason it doesn't say 'pro' on the sides (but on the box it does...) I got these 2nd hand. I've taken pics below just in case they might be the wrong...

I definitely have the PRO version. The bass is incredibly weak unamped , or with the FiioE5. Recently, I'm finding almost all bass inadequate, except the Fiio E5 + Koss portapro with some sound cards (but not all). This setup was supposed to take the soundcard out of the equation , but it looks...
