    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Yes, I hope the same. I’ve done a number of kilobuck IEMs in the past but this is my first in the stratosphere. I can’t speak to how it compares to your Sony, but in a vacuum the Q15 is really impressing me. With IEMs it’s on par with my K9, if that tells you anything. For me it’s an upgrade...

    Starting off my 2024 with a big upgrade. Just picked up a universal pair of the Radon 6 and the new FiiO Q15. Loving them so far.

    FIIO Q15 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Anyone having issues connecting to an iPhone via USB? I’ve tried a number of cables, phone mode is on, and I’ve tried both USB modes. No luck. USB connection works to a Mac however.

    FIIO Q15 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Woudn’t DAC -> Amp stages be the same, only difference being how signal gets there? USB will have better quality data over BT, if you can notice a difference.

    FIIO Q15 DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Lots of mixed feelings going on in this thread. I just ordered one last night. As a former Q5s owner, current BTR7 user, I’m eager to try it out. Hoping these bugs get worked out soon, though.

    Audio is the realization that my preference isn’t exactly truthful/neutral. I like a good U shape. Non audio is making mental health a priority. Growing up that just wasn’t a thing. “Cheer up.”

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Just want to say hi for the first time to the Watercooler. I’ve been reading for a while now but never chimed in. My name is (not THE, but another) Jeff. Been in this hobby since before there were many options and I was into IEMs when I first started (very few options). Reading through this...

    Feeling lucky? A tour of our audiophile factory awaits

    Hey Sennheiser, thanks for the opportunity. I'm a USA resident. If I had to choose only one album, it would be the score to God of War Ragnarok, by Bear McCreary. I don't mean to get sappy, but it's a meaningful choice to me. I suffer from severe depression and for those who don't know its...

    Introducing MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

    I think they’re worth it. I’ve tried pretty much everything. All the Sonys, most of the B&Ws, the Focal Bathys, Drop Panda, and older Sennheiser models. In my opinion, this is the lightest, most comfortable, most plug and play, clean sounding headphones, at a price that’s very reasonable. To...

    Looking to sell my Maze Rai Penta IEMs. I purchased them when they originally launched and used them pretty regularly for a while. They've sat clean in a box since then. Slight edge wear on the anodization, as I believe happens to all of these. Also missing two sets of ear tips (I believe one...

    Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements

    Don’t know if you’re still looking for this but I use the Drop THX 789 and really enjoy it. Very clean and plenty of power. $300.

    Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements

    Totally understand and agree with your point. The only funny thing to me is that Focal has the Arche with different presets for their different headphones. Maybe that’s more about impedance matching, but I think it also applies sound profiles IIRC.

    I get some awesome morning light shining into my den. Hit the Clear MGs just right.

    Focal Clear Mg Review & Measurements

    Received mine yesterday and listened for about 3 hours last night after 3 hours of pink noise (I don’t claim to know anything conclusive about burn-in, so I just do it to cover my bases). My most expensive full-size headphones prior to these are the HD650, which I’ve used for 10 years. I’ve...
