Thanks of the link! Very cool site. I wish there was more info about the measurements as they look really weird (not only for the MDR-1000x). Take a look at the competitor of the Sony, the Sennheiser Momentum here. 35dB down at ~4kHz compared to 100Hz! I looked a several others models and it's...

I wouldn't worry too much about the codec. Just go for the ones you like. The difference between SBC and aptx is not as great as many claim in my experience.

Don't forget the LG V20. Has a great quad DAC and I can attest to the fact that the amp is quite strong putting out just over 2V and driving my headphones very well. It also have removable battery and SD slot.

Thanks for the interesting comments! One thing was particularly interesting were your comments about the Sony MDR-1000X bass. I found the bass to be present and sufficient in quantity, but somewhat boomy and lacking in detail. However, when I hooked up wired to my LG V20 (which has a very...

Are you sure about the measurement technique and the wired source? A 20dB dip at 2kHz would be drastically noticeable; on my headphones the 2kHz region is not noticeably affected when going between wireless and wired (LG V20 source). (Playing with EQ and adjusting by just a couple of dB at 2kHz...

Can't comment on the H7s but just wanted to add I really preferred the Sony MDR-1000X over the Sennheiser pxc550. You may prefer the Sennheiser but for me they have too much mids... needs EQ all of the time to my ears but I know some like it. The touch controls are not quite as good as the sony...

Of those phones I have had only the MDR1000x. I've also had B&O H9, Bose QC-35, B&W P7 & Senn PCX550. The MDX1000x is great - no problems with creaking, comfort or touch controls (contrary to many reports I found them to be excellent). Also the Sony ANC was in another league to the QC-35. (sony...

Hi Everyone, I've been a lurker here for longer than I can remember. I mainly hang out over at Audiokarma which has a nice community for my main interest (restoring vintage tube and solid-state amplifiers, mostly Sansui, Luxman, Yamaha, Pioneer). I'm known as "smurfer77" over there. Aside from...
