    Sony NW-A50 Series

    I'm having trouble with the connection between my amp and the NW-A50 as it keeps cutting out after a couple of minutes. I've checked the amp on the old iPod and it's fine but that uses a cable from the iPod charging socket to the amp's 3.5mm. Does anyone know where I could get something similar...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Gutted about the closure although not that surprised. So it turns out the battery in my 4G is fine - seen as the problem only started when I switched DAP I put the arrow back on the iPod and it works fine. Current best guess is that it the arrow doesn't like the 3.5mm to 3.5mm I've been using...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Thanks so much for that Anderoan, thought that might the case with easily replaced bits from what I remember when I got this one. Such a shame about Robert, it really is an excellent piece of kit. I've asked this on the recommendations board but what would be the best alternative in case mine...

    Portable amp to replace Arrow 4G - give me subs!

    Yeah I was desperate for the isolation when I got them as my desk was near a load of really chatty people at work! Admittedly I still love the sound and when you add base to those mids on a good vocal dnb track they're incredible.

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Was thinking that myself but have absolutely no clue about electrics! Does the arrow use a common one / can it be done easily (for someone who knows what they're doing) or would have to be returned to Robert?

    Portable amp to replace Arrow 4G - give me subs!

    Hi All, After many years of excellent service my Headstage Arrow 4G might be dying 😭😭 I love this amp for various reasons but the bass boost is beautiful for well defined sub bass and I'm looking for something to replace this - what do you think? Any replacement will be paired with a Sony...

    Headstage Arrow HE: Reviews, Impressions, Perceptions & Sensations

    Does anyone know if Headstage are still going? I've been using my 4G for years but I tried the website recently and it seems to be down. The reason I was looking at the website is I'm having some trouble with it. I've just switched from an iPod classic to Sony NW-A55 but now the Arrow just cuts...

    Sony NW-A50 Series

    Has anyone used the A55 with a Headstage Arrow Amp? Or does anyone have any preferred EQ settings for Drum & Bass / mellow dubstep? I've previously been using an old iPod classic with the Arrow 4G but the iPod died so I've ordered an A55 but am trying to find a bit out before it arrives. If it...

    DAP recommendation

    Thanks for posting this, I'm at a different/less expensive stage in my journey but know the feeling of dilemma well. Hope it's not cheeky / bad form (will readily delete if so) but do any of you any experience of the M11 Vs NW-A105?

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

      Good point thanks, I normally use a line-connector between the ipod and amp and hadn't thought about that. The only reservation I'd have is whether the line out gives a better SQ than a 3.5 - 3.5mm connector - will give one a go and see if I notice the difference.    Will also keep digging...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 - over the ear headphones

    I recently got a some P7's and although I really love the sound I'm finding them a bit loud even at the lowest settings when played through my amp. Does anyone know a good inline volume control that's not smart phone specific?   I'm using an iPod classic through a Headstage Arrow 4G and...

    Recommendations on a Closed back Over ear for EDM and punk

    So far I've had the bass up to 2nd setting on the 4g but that may be because I'm desperate for a bass fiX and still not sure on my preferred sound Sig. Been experimenting with the treble settings, two seems too harsh but may use it at one. I should also stress that most of my listening has been...

    Recommendations on a Closed back Over ear for EDM and punk

    Starting to agree with the good response to EDM - played Deceived by Future Prophecies (quite complex Dnb with lots of elements and frequencies, my default testing track) earlier and very pleased. Looking forward to seeing how/if they change as I get used to them. Also getting some good response...

    Recommendations on a Closed back Over ear for EDM and punk

    Well, went in to the shop yesterday and ended up with the P7. Initial impressions are very pleasing indeed - I got the immediate and substantial satisfaction I never had with the 535's. Starting to realise I may be a basshead - went straight up to the max boost on the arrow and now just looking...
