Yep, it seems like apple’s algorithm of upscaling stereo to surround is the only one on the market that is actually good. I use it all the time and it’s surprisingly effective. I wonder, Is cinema mode the same as 360 reality audio upmix that is found on Xperia phones? Wish Sony would clarify...

I must say, Sony has outdone themselves with the XM6 The best way I can describe this headphone in its totality is that it feels like a finished product, where as the XM5 comes off feeling more of a prototype or in development model. The entire package of the XM6 feels complete, the magnetic...

I can only describe it as rich and cinematic with Xbass and xspace turned on. Incredible theatre like sound, especially with how textured and deep the low end is on the IE900. It’s one of my favourite pairings so far. Though I did notice a fair amount of sibilance introduced with the ie900...

I've been a hard supporter of Sony over-ears for a while, but recently I got the airpods max to upgrade over my XM5s. I wonder how they will stack up to the maxes in terms of pure audio quality. The measurements so far look very promising, seems they reigned in the treble and bass.

FiiO actually made a black version of the cassette case, thank you!

Seems like my DAP (Sony ZX500) refuses to play to the AirPods Max using the usbc to usbc cable, has anyone experienced this?

Has anyone tried using the AirPods Max USB-C connection with the ZX500? They just recently got an update to use them losslessly with a USBc to USBc connection, however trying to use them with the ZX500 is impossible, and the Walkman player app just sounds stuttery and broken.

I just went to see Caravan Palace live, the set was insanely loud, but I did get to try using my pro 2s in transparency mode. (The hearing protection feature works in all modes except the off mode) It’s a game changer, I had a very comfortable listening experience but didint feel like the...

Yes.

Not sure what to think about the QX13… Design doesn’t look like it’s 300usd… but I’ll wait for official specifications.

Now, a new wireless headphone, or a wired hifi one? Because the wireless consumer WH-1000XM6 is guaranteed, already passed Korean consumer certification, launch is immanent.

Maybe that can be it’s new killer feature DSP… call it DYNAMIC RANGE + 😂

It’s understandable that Sony wont realest anything new for the wired headphone/iem space, but I do wish they brought some of that knowledge and technology to their wireless products. Focal Bathys, Dali IO12, AirPods Max all show that there is a market for high end wireless headphones that focus...

Sony not updating their daps soon makes sense, but I’m more questioning their decision to not make new IEMs or headphones? I get that the market is oversaturated but I would rather spend my money from well known brands than trusting some new overseas company with questionable customer support.

having tried the Kensei again at canjam 2025, it made me wish there was a official case/sleeve for it like the hip-case. I know it comes with a pouch but it doesn't protect it when in use!
