    AirPods Max

    You may already know this by now, but unfortunately spatial audio doesn't work on the Apple TV 4K; only with a recent-ish iPhone or iPad. This disappointed me too, but hardware support for spatial audio is required on the viewing side as well as the listening side. It will be interesting to see...

    best wireless headphone system?

    I found a thread on Engadget with posts by Head-Fi user nfusion770: Sennheiser RS170 wireless headphones ears-on -- Engadget He's got both the RS170 and RS180 cans, and likes them. He's also got balanced HD800's so is a man of pretty good taste! Trumps my balanced HD650's!

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    I find the med. silicone tips to fit very well. My boss came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder--I jumped and yanked the IEMs out so fast that the tip stayed behind in my left ear. Ouch!

    Official Team Gin-Fi! Gin Appreciation Thread

    Anyone tried Broker's? I just picked up a bottle for the first time. It has a little bowler hat on the cap. I think it's OK but I think Plymouth is better. Tough to tell without a side-by-side test though. I'm pretty sure Plymouth has gone up in price here. It's more expensive than Bombay...

    Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Thread

    Woo Hoo! I just pulled the trigger on a pair of triple-fi's from Earphone Solutions. I couldn't resist that 15% off sale price (which is off their already discounted price). Thanks for the tip guys! OK, so now I have a technical question. My current work listening setup is...

    Westone 3 - You asked for it, we listened !

    Glad to finally get some news directly from Westone, P0wderH0und. I was stunned when I heard of the latest delay, given that I've had a pre-order in for over a year now. In fact I remember excitedly thinking that come May, I'd be listening to my Westone 3's. That was May 2007, of course...

    Any word on sennheiser IE6 IE7 or IE8 yet?

    Anybody know the latest on these? The Westone 3 has just been officially delayed until 2009 so I'm giving up waiting on them. A pair of IE-7's might be a decent alternative, but I'd like to hear some impressions first. Otherwise I'm leaning towards the Sleek SA6.
