Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions
You are right - as users we are privileged these years. Very few people will have had a chance to test more than a few of them. So I can only team about my choice. Sound quality, portability (the oppo's can fold - this might seem as a small thing, but I promise you, having it in one's bag every...- henrylar

Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions
To my experience (I am a happy PM-3 owner travelling quite a lot in trains) the sound stage is OK. I understand your question, also appreciating a real 3D soundstage at my loudspeakers. It is a trade-off when it comes to closed headphones but the PM-3's is a good compromise - really close to...- henrylar

Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions
well - i agree. But they have to live up to regulations in EU. But putting the cable in the phone before you put it in the headphone isn't that difficult, is it? I mean, when the PM-3's are in the box you have to pull out the cable anyway. So instead of putting it in the headphone first, then...- henrylar

Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions
I don't have the V20, but it is incredibly easy to trigger hi impedance mode physically on the V10 because the jack that goes into the headphone is a standard mini jack. Just make a female mini jack plug on which you solder two 100 ohm resistors. Plug the jack that goes into the headphones in...- henrylar

Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions
Got my PM-3 a few days ago. They are very, very good! I have had loudspeakers with folio for years, and were after that transient sound. have noticed that people become even more happy with them over time, if that is the case I will be looking forward to that. They fit the LG V10 very well, I I...- henrylar

LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG
Sennheiser Momentum over-ear. At first I was disappointed with the sound and the volume. Then I found out the way to trigger the aux mode - which was a huge benefit. Then I could not resist to go for the high impedance mode to see if that gives even more to the sound. The Senn Momentum...- henrylar

Creative Aurvana Live! Review and Mods
for me the mod in the very first post in this thread did the job of giving enough space for my ear. I can really recommend that as the first to try, if someone might have forgotten that in the light of the many posts here :-)- henrylar

Unfortunately not. It is converted down, which is a pity. The built in DAC allows it, and it is pretty OK though, but that is another story.- henrylar

LG G2 I apologize if this has been mentioned, but with a superficial browse of the thread I cannot find it. My LG G2 the international version (80210a european version) works out of the box with Fiio E17, and also with my Hegel HD2 ( with an external power supply) using an OTG cable. I have...- henrylar

Creative Aurvana Live! Review and Mods
has anybody been able to compare the extension of the original pads described in the beginning of this thread with the pads from HM5? If so, what is the difference, in sound quality and comfort?- henrylar

Creative Aurvana Live! Review and Mods
Making CAL flat for transport I broke a hinge on my CAL, it was the little metal thing that links the cup with the hanger that broke. Since I have done all the mods, and they sound really well I have been thinking about whether I could find a way to repair them. I ended to repair them with a...- henrylar

USB audio recorder pro works fine after the update today - also for 96/24 files! (Nexus 7, Fiio E17). Now we just need to convince him to create a simple interface for using it as music player..- henrylar

Quote: I got it to work - did not recognize the button to choose music format.. It plays 16 bit music fine, but it distorts 96/24 files, even if it triggers the FIIO to choose that. Hopefully the developers just need some time to solve that. What a wonderful development!- henrylar
