https://www.head-fi.org/threads/dasetn-tingo-baldoor-earbuds-reviews-and-impressions.711844/page-77#post-10722594 looks like it's a trend ... :p

Where can I find the authentication code?

That will be 4 in total :). I've loved how comfy they were already, am sold by how much better I feel I can experience the different parts in the music with the IDEA hooked up, and I don't like forgetting them at home/work. And besides, I got my wife hooked. So I guess.. I'm ordering 2 for...

Yeah, I just ordered 3 . . . spill it man, while I can still cancel :p

I was going to order some more as gifts from the Takstar audio store (without the case), but now I'm not sure anymore... is there too much of variance of quality between the separate headphones? =/. Anyone any bad experiences with China Air btw? Also, about to order the Objective2 amp! I'm...

for DAC/amp, not in the US, in Europe :-) DAC wise: I can find the ELE-D01 on amazon amp wise: did anyone ever compare the FIIO E6 with the FIIO A1 (since the latter is actually way more widely available & the newer version)? @BenF perhaps?

There wasn't a problem with the volume - but I think it may be that e.g. skype is adjusting the volume automatically, instead of keeping it stable. I can report back if anything changes. The day that Aliexpress delivers _now_ (or earlier than 5 weeks) still has to come for me :-D. They also...

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/smsl-idea-dac-amp <-- welp, to EU it's 4 USD extra. I'm going to get this for 73 USD... seems like a nice price. @BenF about the microphone cable: I'm going to get rid of the dynamic volume changes, that may help.

Just wondering here @BenF and @Miguelbazil - since you're on a computer, wouldn't you need to replace the DAC at some point anyway, having to buy a DAC besides the amp (e.g. the O2) - wouldn't it be better to just save up and get e.g. the Oppo HA-2 and be 'done' with that?

I really wonder if any of the audiolovers here will indulge in capitalistic greed over cans.

Good one :-). For completeness sake: have you also tried the AudioQuest DragonFly Red?

info-less post, but I can't contain my enthusiasm: I ordered the headphones from headphoniaks, and got them within 2 days. I was patiently waiting for my mic-cable to arrive when I realised I could screw off the 6.35mm jack and plug the remainder into my laptop to listen anyway >.<. They feel...

I really want to pull the trigger on this. No idea where to buy atm, though :(. Anyone found a decent retailer with stock?
