The only suggestion I'd make regarding the irritation with the earcups would be to investigate whether it's coming from actual pain or just from the novelty of being exposed to a new kind of sensation (as it's not clear from your description), because the ear simply touching the headphone...

Try turning Adaptive ANC to off and setting the slider to about 20%, this eliminated the cabin pressure feeling for me. Also I recommend playing with the "wind noise reduction" setting as I found that it behaves in unexpected ways when in the default Auto mode. I ended up keeping it on Off at...

Just to report that I also didn't notice auto on/off problems, noting that I charge the headphones every few days so if a problem happened I may have not noticed. Regarding the swipes, short swipes up/down modify the volume by 1 step while long swipes modify the volume by 3 steps or so. The...

For me it displays AAC when playing from the MacBook and AptX when playing from Samsung Galaxy.

Depends on what you mean by "buggy". The bluetooth connection was 100% stable for me during the last last couple of weeks, used daily connected to a MacBook and a Samsung phone. Battery life is solid, the app works fine, the sound quality is excellent. Call quality is very good so they work well...

Just got the M4s a few days ago and after updating the firmware the same thing happened in my case, the ANC stopped working completely. It started working again after going through the factory reset through the app although not sure it's working 'properly' because it's quite disappointing...

Sorry, looks like I've been too optimistic regarding the time/ability I'd have for providing this feedback. Musician vs Havana, not an apples to apples comparison as Havana is an older design that has been superseded by other models (perhaps Pagoda would make more sense for a comparison)...

Received my Pegasus yesterday. Sounds as I was expecting/hoping it to, based on the reviews - rich, fast and detailed, ultimately satisfying. The only other R2R DAC I have heard previously was an Audio GD R1, a few months ago. Sound was lovely but I ended up returning it because it was not...

]eep, thank you for the information on the electrolytic capacitors. I don't currently understand the science behind this and will be good to learn.

I ordered the Pegasus based on the soundnews review. The review seemed authentic. We will see.
