    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    As I mentioned, prepared to pay more for ANC. But decent sound quality for a TWS is main priority.

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Not sure whether this is the right place to ask this, but here goes anyway... I believe it was on this thread that I first found about the Blon BL-03s which I purchased and absolutely loved. I subsequently also read here about the Tin Hi-Fi T2 Plus, which I also purchased and now like even more...

    LG V30

    Sadly the Oppo PM-3 is out of my price range. With the LGV30 'tricked' into high impedance mode, is the HE400SE then viable?

    LG V30

    Is anyone using Hifiman HE400SE headphones with their V30? I've read good reviews of these headphones but I'm not sure the V30 has enough power to give enough volume on them - they seem to be hard to drive. Unfortunately I can't easily try before I buy.

    Tin HiFi Impressions Thread

    Tangential question, hope it's OK. I have the Tin Hi-Fi T2 Plus and absolutely love them. They have recently relegated my Blon BL-03s to second place in my favours, and I was very keen on them before. I would like to augment my collection with a pair of over ear headphones. Roughly how much do I...

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    I had O-rings but the problem was worse with them. Surely the point of O-rings is to increase the effective length of the tip, meaning they fit better into the ear, but it does this by decreasing the effective length of the nozzle on which the eartips can grip. Or have I misunderstood the whole...

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    I love my BLON BL-03s with KZ starline tips. The only problem I'm having is that the tips keep coming off in my ears. Is there some way of securing a tighter fit, or failing that, are there other eartips around as good as the starlines which grip the 'nozzle' better?

    LG V30

    I currently have a LG G5 with the B&O Hi-Fi Plus module. I'm toying with the idea of buying a LG V30 to replace this. Will I likely hear a sound improvement from doing so? Not that that would be the reason for the upgrade, more that there appears to be a problem with the camera on my G5 which is...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    Price range is basically appreciably less than the Sony WH-1000XM3. Not looking for £40/$50 or anything like that.

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

    A while back I followed a couple of threads on here about inexpensive Chinese in-ear phones and ended up hearing about and buying a pair of Blon BL-03s, which I am delighted with. Now I'm after a pair of over-the-ear wireless headphones with good noise-cancellation, and am wondering whether...

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Yes, I could, but maybe not! A guy I know locally had £200 in a jar in his house and came home one evening last year to find one of his dogs had knocked it over and eaten all the banknotes. He spent the next couple of days following the dog round closely, collecting and dissecting what 'emerged'...

    If there's just the one, then yes, I certainly could. As I mentioned, he refunded my payment without question, so I think it's just a case of being lost in the post. The listing has since disappeared, though, unfortunately. Maybe these are no longer available?

    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Does anyone have a good URL for some KZ Starline tips, for delivery to the UK? Some months ago I ordered one of the very cheap packs of them on ebay but they never turned up (vendor refunded me). At the same time, I ordered a little pack of a pair each of S/M/L from another source, which did...

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    For burning in, I imagine the optimum method must surely be to stick a favourite album on repeat play and just leave it playing through the earphones for however long you want? Maybe do it with a couple of different music types.

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    OK, after some further comparisons once a proper seal was attained with these tips and the MH755 tips (not the easiest thing with my ears), I would say that both work well, and that these Trig Rain ones have a little less weight in the bass but are a little more open and airy, slightly clearer...
