    XTZ Headphone Divine DISCUSSION THREAD

    I realize that was an old comment, but in case you haven't been following up, I just contacted XTZ and they say the headphones will be back in stock in 2 - 3 weeks.

    It looks like the Fidelio M2BT have really come down in price. Can Giogio confirm that these are in fact the ones he uses and recommends: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-M2BTBK-27-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0163ZHROM?ie=UTF8&keywords=Fidelio%20M2BT&qid=1462585810&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2   At that...

    BTW, if money were no object I'd be trying out the Master & Dynamic MW60. But $550, my god.

    Hmm, no. I don't have those EQ settings anymore. But I had used the EQ to attempt to drastically lower the bass, which was already, to my ears, obnoxious out of the box without EQ. The last record I remember trying out with the WS was Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the...

    Maybe I did have a defective pair of WS99BT or in fact EQed them poorly. The way I compared was to listen to both headphones without EQ, but using Poweramp, which is my preferred player, then with the EQ setting I typically use for the BBP, then adjusting the EQ for the WS99BT to find an...

      Polk Hinge Wireless (I had trouble EQing them to achieve any satisfactory sound. They seemed almost mid-heavy. Which i liken to bad radio sound. They slipped a bit on the head. The controls felt cheap. Very stylish looking though. And A/B-ing them with the BBP, they simply paled in...

    Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've visited this thread, but I'm now looking for a second (hopefully better) pair of BT headphones.   I own and use daily the Plantronics BBP, paired with a Samsung Galaxy S3. I have intermittent BT stability issues such as the playback pausing on its...

    Embarrassing headphone sweat ODOR. Tried everything.

    I went ahead and ordered the Garfield headphone Softies. $20, which seems way overpriced for two little pieces of rayon/chenille, but I couldn't find any other companies offering a product that goes over the earcups. Other than sanitary type booties--similar to what one would put over their...

    Embarrassing headphone sweat ODOR. Tried everything.

    It's a great idea, I just don't see how to remove the ear pads or the covering over the drivers. But I put in a message to Plantronics and am waiting to hear back. Thanks.

    Embarrassing headphone sweat ODOR. Tried everything.

    I began with cheaper BT headphones for work. BTW, Bluetooth is a must. After a couple years of that I just needed to upgrade for better sound quality. I pretty much immerse myself in the music while I'm working, and the poor sound quality of the cheaper headphones became unacceptable. I'm...

    Yeah, I was/am so frustrated that I got to the point of just spraying. If damage happens, it happens. I might try the pet odor removers. Any specific reason you recommend those?

    Ah, the ozone machine is a good idea. Thanks, I'll look into that.

    I hear ya, I'm just not ready to eat the $200 after only 5 months of use.

    Embarrassing headphone sweat ODOR. Tried everything.

    So... I have the Plantronics Backbeat Pro headphones. As far as I can tell, the earpads are not removable.    I've been wearing them six days a week while I work, since April, and it's sweaty work. About a week ago I noticed the most horrid odor coming from the ear cups and headband, as well...

    I just bought the ATH-WS99BT headphones and am having a very different experience with them than the others in this thread who have tried them and recommended them.   It's early, but so far, I find the bass to be entirely muddy. To the extent that there is simply the BOOM BOOM of the bass, but...
