    Earhook Bluetooth Adapters? TN BT20 and other options?

    Hello all, I'm looking for an adapter to use my Westone ES5 IEM's in a "true wireless" manner. I've seen the BT20 talked about here, and that sounds interesting. I wish they were more widely available! Are there other options I should be looking at?

    Its the old 2 pin setup... I'm not sure what that is called though! Time for me to do some research.

    Westone Phones and repair

    I've been a Westone user for probably 12 years now I think? Their customer service has been nothing but awesome in my experience. This is through multiple sets of ES series monitors, and tons of UM series as well.

    You know... the BT20 looks like an interesting solution (allbeit for listening only). Could I pair these up with an old set of westone ES5?

    Bragi: Out of the wearables business

    Saw this! https://www.wareable.com/hearables/bragi-exits-consumer-wearables-hearables-7132 Too bad. I really liked my "The headphone" and would be using them still if I hadn't lost my left earpiece.

    okay... I'm back on the hunt! I've been using Samsung Gear Icon X (2018) since November. The left ear gave out, and Samsung had me send them in for warranty service. Then they gave me the run around for about 6 weeks and I'm now without headphones. So.... I'm on the hunt while they sort this...

    Can you recommend a pic of headphones for video editing? Beyerdynamic/Grado/Sony?

    Hello all, I used to have an office where I would edit video and audio on reference speakers. However, that setup is no more and I'm currently working out of a cubicle in public space. I need a decent set of cans that I can edit on. It's all casual corporate video work, so not like I'm...

    Having trouble with the Samsung Gear IconX (2018) and a MacBook

    Hello all, Last week I picked up a pair of the samsung gear iconx (2018). Apparently, I'm supposed to be able to use the gear manager app that is packaged in the headphones themselves on my Macbook. I've got the software installed and my computer sees the headphones connected (physically...

    Amazon is as well. I just got the Samsung Gear Icon X in the mail. They are really comfortable, and a quick voice memo recording sounds WAY better on these. I must've got a bunk pair of refurbished jabras the first time through. Looks like a great deal!

    Sent back my Jabra Elite Actives today, and I've got a set of Samsung Gear Icon X coming. Looking for something with great call quality, and I saw a review that touted its calling microphones. So, we'll see. If these don't hit the mark, I'll probably just go back to the Bragi Headphone, or pick...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    So, I'm gonna send back my Jabras. I just can't make a call work well with these, I tried positioning them differently, rotating them further down, etc..., but if I need to pull one out of my ear and hold it to my mouth to make a phone call that can clearly be understood... well, that seems to...

    Perhaps? I'm using an iphone 7. However, I have no other phone to try this out with. My wife is using an iphone 7 as well, so using hers probably wont reveal anything. That's possible. I tried to spin the headphones uncomfortably towards the jawline. Didnt seem to make a difference... hmmm..

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    So, I got my Jabra Elite Actives yesterday. They're very nice. Work well in the gym and those things are not shaking loose even when I'm sprinting. SQ is okay, nothing amazing, but tweaking the EQ curve in the app helps substantially. Passthrough is nice. My main complaint is that the...

    Thanks for all the info here... I went ahead and grabbed a set of jabra actives (refurb) on ebay with the 10% off. Seemed like I might as well see how I like 'em.

    That's a fair enough point. Maybe it does come across as a bit vain. I also just don't like the feel of them hanging out of my ears I guess. I've been using custom IEM's for about 10 years now and I'm just used to that low-profile feel. Even using cans bugs me sometimes. Maybe I need to try...
