I've had my MELE since mid September and have 2 to 3 hours of use on them most days since then and haven't encountered any of the issues some are reporting. Absolutely loving them with all music genres. I drink coffee when listening to music so not sure if that makes a difference. 😀

Ive also been enjoying the Magni 3+ over the last 3 months. As others have pointed out it has a much better treble presentation than the Magni 3. With certain iems the Magni 3 is a bit he upper octaves. Now I want a powerhouse for my Focal Elegia and I’m glad I didn’t jump on the Magnius and...

That’s a good question. I own two Asgard 2 one in black and one in silver. I’m about to order the Asgard 3 and will do some extensive comparisons to find this out myself. FYI I might have an Asgard 2 for sale soon. The silver one is used but in great shape while the black one has spent most of...

Im using NiceHCK 16 cores in both my BL01 and they work great. Silver cables on the black with the brown cable in the Silver. The NiceHCK cables are the same as the YY 16 cores. Just different shaped metal fittings.

I just ordered a pair. Does anyone know how long Adorama takes to ship and how long I can expect to receive the package with free shipping? I'm one state over from NYC.

Try the current Schiit stack Magni 3+ OR Heresy / Modi 3. It could be a.place holder that you don't replace until the next Gen Schiit is rolled out. I hear no downgrade in sound over gear that coats 5X the price. My more expensive gear is sitting unused. I know for a fact the Magni 3 powered the...

I wouldn't consider these to be a portable headphone by any stretch of the imagination. They're the same form factor as all the new Focal cans. The cable could easily have been an afterthought. With that said I will jump on a pair if they dip below $400 considering how much I loved the Elear...

I'm not sure about that without seeing how the cable is wired as I don't have the Susvara.

Absolutely not. The HD650 or 6XX are a completely different listening experience from the Elear. I want to say the HD650/6XX would be a more accurate reproduction of the music while the Elear is a more exciting version of the music. If all headphone drivers were built with small speakers like...

I've measured well over 20 cables with a digital caliper and the specs if .75 mm or .78 mm MEAN NOTHING. Every combination of out of spec was measured. From .75 mm that measure less than or more than .75 to .78 and the same for the ".78" 2 pin cables. There was no consistency either. The .78 mm...

I passed on the CA16 since I wanted to see what KZ came up with but after seeing the ZAX it looks like the CA16 is something I might try. I want a multi BA hybrid in a well fitting shell which the CA16 deffinately has. Same shell as the Z3 BT set which I had and loved the fit. KZ can really be...

Pai Audio D2R or the OEM version that sells for 25% of the price. Beautiful shell and surprisingly decent for the amount of monstrous bass it has.

It should make no difference with the design of the iem. TRN BA5 is all BA and has the vent on the faceplate. Several single DD sets have the same vent on the faceplate and it makes no audible difference when it’s blocked vs open. It’s almost like say there was an above ground pool or water...

It’s not a large dynamic driver with the back open to the air. BA units have a tuning path either a tube or plastic channel. DD units in iems aren’t as open as a pair of full size headphones and even if they were the frequency range a DD plays( 20 HZ to 200 ish?) in a hybrid with 7 BA units does...

The prices are not low enough to justify waiting until 11/11. 2018 was the last worthwhile 11/11 sale for anything other than cables. Even the recent summer sale was a letdown.
