@DUNU-Topsound the new Concept-R looks great! Any information on when it will be on sale and for how much? I have a few extra questions: - Does it have a digital output (optical/coax)? - Does it have RCA line-out? - Does it have USB-DAC functionality? - Can it work as a CD ripper/drive with...

+1 for T1 mk 3.

TBH they aren't noticeable at all in a normal office with a lower-than-average amount of ambient noise. My next-door-neighbour has never heard a peep from mine, and she's about 1.5 metres away.

My favourite office cans are the Grado GW100x - open back = spatial awareness.

Congrats Dan + team, these look great. My OG Noires are due for an earpad replacement (foam rolling + pleather disintegrating), are you selling the new Noire X earpads as accessories and are they compatible with the v1.0 Noire?

Here's an interesting exchange I had with ChatGPT to help find an EQ solution using the Mojo 2: I own a Chord Mojo 2 which has adjustable equaliser settings to change the frequency response of headphones. It has four separate controls which affect the following:1. Raises or lowers frequencies...

The Sennheiser one is the best one. It's important to have some relief/flex.

You shouldn't need an adapter. Pull off the 6.3mm jack, there's a 3.5mm underneath.

Does it have USB audio in? As in, can it work as a USB DAC?

This parametric EQ setting (Crinacle) has honestly transformed my experience with the UE Live, and it's shot to the top of my collection with a rocket. It now sounds muddy and wooly without it:

They don't generally sound "better" than their universal equivalents, but they'll sound more consistently good thanks to their seamless fit and the varying sound and reliability of tips. I'd suggest trying the universal versions of a few different types of IEMs before taking the plunge...

Yes, you can use them passively with an amplifier via a cable. Just switch them off first. Yes, this will bypass the DAC/amp.

I highly recommend avoiding the Pandas. Nearly a 100% "brick" rate, with practically zero support from the manufacturer.

This is a great question. I've been in the hobby for about ten years, and I've bought/sold/traded/acquired a ton of gear over the years. I've learned plenty about what's important to me: - Comfort - Tuning > technicalities - Bright > dark - Great user interface + connectivity (DACs) -...

Anyone have a fix/solution for the creaking of the headband as it self-adjusts when you move around while wearing the 99's? Unfortunately, it can take you out of the "zone" while you're enjoying music.
