I did a quick search in this thread and it didn't come up with what I wanted to ask. I've read that there are fakes of these headphones out there. If I buy a pair online, whether they are an authorised dealer or not, if the connected headphones show up on the Smart Control app on my phone...

I am using Windows 10 with the Tidal app. I did something different last night and it changed something. Initially I installed the Windows USB Driver 5.12 and as described above, it only shows green for Hifi and Master. I uninstalled the 5.12 and installed the older Windows USB 2.0 Drivers...

I am looking for help from people who had the older version 5.20 firmware and updated to 5.30. I've done the upgrade and I've gone through all the steps to setup Tidal for MQA. I tried playing Hifi and Master tracks on Tidal but my micro iDSD BL always shows green for both? What are the...

12 feet x 18 feet in the master bedroom and they are on one side of the shorter wall about 2 feet from the wall. Music I listen to is quite wide range, Beatles, Norah Jones, Radiohead, Jazz, Classical. Nothing in particular I feel it;s missing from a freq response sense but just want general...

First off, I want to say that my equipment is not high-end. I just couldn't find a more fitting forum section to ask my questions. It's non-headphones and non-portable equipment related so I am thinking this is the one that fits. I am moving next year and thinking of upgrading my system...

I haven't been on Head-Fi for a while because for the past couple of years, I have been satisfied with what I own. Although everything I own are not top-tier stuff, I find them to be fully adequate for my needs. However, lately I've been thinking about upgrading my wired portable option...

The used one I was planning to buy is the gold version of SR-325i. I don't think there is any difference between the older 325i and the gold ones. So it seems like even though it's seem like a super good deal ($100 Canadian....about $70USD?), I am now second guessing whether to buy them or not.

I currently own a pair of SR-60i and have been thinking of upgrading to a slightly higher pair of Grados in the same series. I've been reading a lot about the Prestige Series and found what I am reading kind of odd. For most other lines of headphones from other brands, it's pretty much always...

Sorry if I am repeating what some of you already said before.....but I just received my pair yesterday. First impressions: - not that I didn't know before I bought them but no volume controls really kinda suck - ANC not as good as I expected, probably not good enough seal to begin with -...

I understand that SmartCore series from Comply will fit these but I cannot find anywhere on the internet whether there are any issues with properly seating them in the charging case and closing the lid once you put in Comply tips. Anyone using Comply tips on these can comment on this topic?

I am almost ready to pull the trigger on the M9 despite a long of shortcomings stated in this thread. One last question I have that Id like you guys to comment on is the longevity of the M9's OS and the Spotify app. Since older Android apps eventually will not be supported on older Android OS...

Thanks man.

I have been looking for a new DAP with Spotify functionality to replace my Cayin N3 and think I've settled on the M9. However, I want to make sure that it does what I need it to do instead of making assumptions. Since Spotify is on the whitelist of apps that can be loaded onto the M9 and it...

Thanks for the comments so far. I think I may have not worded my questions clear. I have already decided on a pair of XM2s as my first and only BT/ANC headphones. I really want to know when the XM2 is used wired, how the sound quality is compared to other typically recommended wired...

I am in the market for an active NC wireless headphones and based on my research, these are the best ones to get overall compared to QC35 ii and B&W PX. In order to fund this purchase, I am thinking to sell off a couple of my current non-BT/ANC headphones. I've read enough to know that for a...

Would someone please help me out with the question above? Is the official Cayin cable the only one that will work if I want to connect my Cayin N3 to an external DAC like a iFi micro iDSD BL? Appreciate the help....

Well, they are not really in-ears but the Panasonic RP-HJE120-K, have a pair at work just for throwing around.....one of the best $10 I've ever spent.

Newbie question, if I want to use the Cayin N3 with a FiiO E17K or Mojo DAC, I know I need a cable. Cayin's CS-40TC35 Type-C to 3.5mm Coaxial is $25 on eBay. Is this the same as a $10 USB Type C to 3.5mm AUX cable? It looks the same but will it work? Sorry again for the dumb question.

I don't feel HE400i is for electronic music at all. My personal opinion is that they are more for music that you'd want to pay high attention to vocals. For me, Norah Jones, Gregory Porter, Diana Krall sounds wonderful on the HE-400i. When I used to have DT770, they were for Radiohead, Daft...

I've had the M50x before but found them to be too hot to wear for long periods of time.....the pads are not very breathable and switching pads made them sound less exciting. I much prefer DT770.

I am planning to sell my speakers and integrated amp to go solely with a headphones system. I am looking for a "final" upgrade of my HP amp/DAC to get me to a point where I wouldn't think about upgrading for a while. My current headphones setup: Listening Room CDs/Laptop -> Cambridge Audio...

Your Sony V6 is much easier to drive than your DT880 600ohms. Yes I think everything else being equal, adding an amp should improve the sound of your DT880. uDac might not be able to drive your DT880 properly but it'll definitely sound better than just plugging them into the motherboard. It's...

I don't know if I am providing the exact information you're looking for but I've owned the DT770 and currently own the HE400i. If you're into EDM and HipHop, I personally think that you'll find the DT770 more suitable for that type of music compared to the HE400i. If you like the sound of the...

First of all, thanks for making the effort in trying this out for me. But just to confirm, do you mean the supports that actually holds the left and the right headphones in place can be easily pulled off? See pic below.

I was thinking about unscrewing the four screws and switch them but I was afraid of something I didn't expect, such as the pieces are also glued in addition to the screws, or something else behind there that might fall apart after unscrewing.
