Worry about buying Aliexpress or worry about the cheaper earphones being clones? I'll check out the dongle, though I wanted to avoid using a phone due to its bulkyness. My phone's the Galaxy S9+ & even when I had the smaller Galaxy S3 it was still too big. Thanks for the suggestion on...

Hi guys, Getting back into exercise I'm looking to get an MP3 player and some wired earphones, but was wondering what can be had on a budget, preferably <$50AUD ($30USD) for MP3 player and $10AUD ($7USD). I don't know if my budget is unrealistic to get something considering 'not-bad' for a...

bump. any suggestions ?

Hi guys, I have a set of Logitech Z-5500, but have lost the 3x 3.5mm male-male cables. I'm getting an optical cable in the meantime (had one, it just broke), but figured, I might get the 3.5mm aux cables just in case. The one that came with it looked like this...

Hi guys, I have the Logitech Z-5500 speakers, and one of the spring terminal pins (I think that's what they're called), broke off. I was looking online, but can't see any 10pin (5set).. I see 4pin, and 6pic terminals.. but no 5 :/ ... thoughts ? https://imgur.com/Z9bIEil

Hi all, Just received 2x of the Piston Fresh in the mail, a black pair and a silver pair. I used the black pair 1st, and found the sound quite flat and noticeably bassy... was this normal in other's opinions ? Though the sound was smooth, some tunes sounded 'off' (bass-like with lower flat...

3x more? I thought they were more like 3x less in price. Mine set me back about $7.80AUD per pair. Didn't the Piston 3's sell for like $15USD ($25AUD) a pair ?

Awesome, thanks Redcarmoose :). Placed an order for 2x pairs, much appreciated :)

Hi Guys, Was about order some Xiaomi Piston (fresh version) from Gearbest when Is saw the advert for the KZ ZSR Hybrid https://www.gearbest.com/promotion-kz-earphones-special-1556.html They seem fancy lookin', and cheap, are they any good? This thread seems to have a lot of posts regarding...

Hey, sorry for lack of reply :/, but thanks to all for the feedback :) Sorry, just assumed they were the same. Might check them out, see what's on there. :) I had a look, though couldn't figure out how to buy (if you could). I asked Xiaomi, but they never got back to me :( I'll have to keep...

Hey Red, thanks for the reply :) That's a shame about the Piston 3's, they seemed to have good feedback on them :(. I looked at the '1MORE Triple driver' earphones you linked, but unfortunately way out of what I can afford ($100USD + Shipping, if they even shipped here). :/ . Wonder if the...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for <$30 (AUD) earphones and these were recommended to me, so I looked into it. Just wondering, due to their age, have there been a newer model released in the same price point? Are these still considered quite good ? or have another pair/company released something...

Thanks PurpleAngel :) Is the Rockbox Firmware a noticeable improvement on the Sandisk and Xduoo devices ?

Hi guys, greetings from Australia New to the forums, and pretty much anything audio related :). Don't have much experience with audio, other than plugging speakers into the speaker port of my PC and opening a music file. I much prefer the older style classic rock music rather than the current...
