    An 8 year quest: collecting Audio-Technica Clip-Ons

    Honestly the variance in sound quality isnt incredible, I mean clip-ons arent a thing these days for a reason. In terms of rarity and looks, I am quite partial to the EM9d. I had to beg a Dutch shop that was selling it used that I was willing to pay any price, and any shipping to get it. Good...

    An 8 year quest: collecting Audio-Technica Clip-Ons

    I got into this hobby in 2011, and have had a blast since then. Exploring the possibilities up and down the chain. One goal that was present the entire time was to collect as much of the Audio-Technica Clip-on line as humanly possible. Considering most were discontinued before I started...

    Need Recommendation for DAP with Optical Out

    Hi there,   I'm looking for recommendations for a DAP to pair with my Chord Hugo. I have an Onkyo DP-X1, and I know it's nitpicky, but I cant use the digital out and charge at the same time. I'd like a DAP with an optical out and a great GUI.   Right now I'm looking at an iBasso DX80, but...

    How would you compare the HE-X to the HE-1K? Is it that much of an upgrade? Edit: Thanks for the great feedback already!

    Best DAP to use as transport with Chord Hugo

    Hi all,   I have a chord hugo that I use in my office setup with my Edition 8s. Right now I use an AK100 with the optical to the hugo, but I was wondering if maybe I could improve the experience of the transport with perhaps an AK Jr, AK100ii or even an AK240. Any other recommendations?  ...

    Recommend under 500 portables for bday present

    The HE400s do seem very nice, and his favorite color is blue. Do you think he could throw them in a backpack, or are they too fragile for that?

    Recommend under 500 portables for bday present

    Hi all,   I just went traveling with my brother and his old sonys were leaving black flakes on his ears, so out they go. His birthday is coming up, so I wanted to get him new headphones.    He's not an audiophile, more of a "normal" person. So he doesnt want to use an amp or anything other...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    Never really had an echo tbh. Not sure why there would be one in the first place? The mic is wired separately and no reason the mic should be picking up any sort of audio while you're using headphones?   The only thing I can think of is if your 2 female to 1 male 3.5mm adapter connected to the...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

      My original plan was that I would plug the modmic straight into the chat adapter, but the chat adapter thought the modmic was a full headset, and I wasnt getting chat audio through the headphones, so I needed to split it. The mic doesnt run through the DSS because the DSS only uses a USB chat...

    You are correct, I mute the game audio through the headset adapter and click the chat audio button until that's the only thing coming through it. Game audio through the DSS, Chat audio through the chat adapter.

      Hey, I managed to get it all working using a couple adapters. You cant plug the mic straight into the chat adapter. You need a PC Headset to Mobile phone adapter. You plug the mic into the mic end of the pc headset adapter, and then I used a 1 female to 2 male 3.5mm adapter to split the...
