Yeah I can handle people talking and that it's more the engine noise i'd be wanting to block out. If I go down the route of ANC I'd be using them in an office space too and getting rid of my AKG K550 mk2s as well, they've got to be cabled too because I like to use a Dragonfly DAC

Not fit issues really, I've had them 12-18 months and they're effectively sleeves so one of them has a tendency to not grip onto the iem brilliantly

I've got a pair of SE425s with custom tips, although not the best fit they were okay on a flight last year. I'm planning a trip later this year and have been bitten by the headphone bug again, am I wasting my time though? Is ANC better or worse than custom tips?

Let me know how you get on! I ended up using a company based in the north west whilst I got some filtered musicians plugs made up for going to gigs, along with the iem sleeves. The sleeves are great for the train without a doubt but I have two main frustrations, the first being how tight they...

How do you guys manage to keep it topped up on charge? Noticed mine isnt holding anywhere near as much charge as it was 6 months back. Wondering if it's because I hit pause on the unit, or let the album end, sometimes hit the power button, sometimes not.

Thought as much :-( Going to be gutted if it keeps happening. It seems to be when I've been charging it, unplug it and the database builds in seconds. Full reboot, it scans the card again. Wondering if it's something to do with windows 10 locking the card without it being ejected etc

So I've owned this for a year, only really used it 5 days a week for 6 months though due to a busy period. I've got a 200gb card in it and other than boot time, I've had zero problems. Recently, every time it reboots, it's only picking up the internal storage on the first reboot? Booting it...

  Have you tested every track on the full 256GB, i've read that the card can be read but there will be stuff potentially missing from the library?

I'm seriously torn at the moment, I love the size and look of the player, the spec is good, the battery life is amazing... it's just the storage capacity. Minimum I'm looking at 200-256GB, more if and when it becomes available.    I'm coming from an iPod Classic, the dream is to have my entire...

I've been using some DT990 Pros for 18 months now and love them but I'm struggling with them being open having now moved locations. I thought my solution was a pair of DT770 .... but I hated them, they sounded aweful! From a closed back isolation point of view the AKG 550 MK2 keep popping up...

Has anyone managed to get these done in the UK? If not, anyone know of where is best to get them done in the UK including initial impressions?

I have an old Fubar DAC (ii i think) and iCute amp combo to power my DT990 pros (250ohm). Wondering if a dragonfly black v1.5 will sound much different and whether it would be an 'upgrade' or not?

So coming from a PCM2702 / OPA2604 setup it's definitely be an improvement? I can't decide between the dragon, Cambridge Audio Dacmagic xs 1 or 2. Wouldn't mind having some form of physical volume control though as it'll be on my desk in work.

Has anyone tried the black with 250ohm headphones, I'll be powering a pair of DT990 Pros so want to make sure it'll have enough juice.    Also, this will be my upgrade from a Fubar Dac and iCute amp combo, am I likely to notice a difference with standard lossless CD files?

I've been happily running my iPod classic via a fiio e7 but have suffered from one huge issue, the line out cable. I treat the cables with care but I'm on my second failed fiio L9 and I've had enough!! Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced line out cable that works and keeps working for...
