Yes, please go into the Accessibility settings to get the desired color profile for your APMs. This is ridiculously important if you're going to be making comparisons.

I read a couple of comments asking for the listening experience of wireless vs wired. Reposting what I wrote up earlier yesterday, just in case it may be helpful. I've edited a little as I've had about 5 hours of additional listening. --------------------------- I'm mainly posting to share my...

^ I agree - oddly sounds a little better on iOS, although still sounds great on Mac OS. After listening to electronic and electronic sub genres on Tidal for the last 5 hours, I'm happy to say that these are the most enjoyable cans I've listened to for this type of music. Could be my age, but if...

The separation is fantastic. Also...man, the nuanced bass when Yo Yo Ma hits the bow against the strings is the bomb. Really true sounding.

Please consider auditioning them with this track. Wowza!

Got mine in and first off, in a nutshell, these are a wireless marvel and achievement for headphones. I'm mainly posting to share my thoughts on wireless SQ vs wired SQ. I have the Apple lightning to 3.5 adapter cable as well. Listening to Blinding Lights and In Your Eyes by The Weeknd...

I'll try to share my experience with the headphones while using the Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter which came in yesterday.

I almost got bought the blue color, but after seeing a lot of unboxings and first impressions I'm glad I didn't. Mine will be delivered tomorrow (space gray).

This setup most times for now: HIFIMAN Edition X mk2 + iPod classic G4. Best cans ever. I occasionally swap the source and dac/amp out to my Dragonfly Black and iPhone for Deezer streaming.

Does anyone have a V20 they can briefly compare the X5 III to?

Sure thing: https://www.amazon.com/Astell-Kern-AK240-Mastering-Quality/dp/B01BPNEFTM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479598274&sr=8-2&keywords=ak240

Howdy folks - I noticed that a few posts mentioned pricing of the AK240 now at around $1k USD. Can anyone provide links? TY!   *Amazon has the Gold Ed. for $1299 (sold by Beach Camera)

Got my V20 in yesterday. Immediate initial impressions were that it sounds as good as almost any DAP I have owned. This morning I did a few quick side by side comparisons with my desktop rig. iMac > Music Fidelity V-DAC > Blue Circle - Hat Peed Thingee. Cans: AKG K7xxx.   I used Tidal for both...
