    Reply to review by 'philipus' on item 'HiBy W3 II Bluetooth CS43131 Dongle'

    Thanks for the review. Does anyone know if the HiBy W3 II works with Apple earphones specifically? I understand they use a different implementation of CTIA.

    DAC with earphones microphone support

    Hello everyone As odd as it may seem I still use a pair of wired Apple EarPods for calling when I take walks. Hoping to be able to use their built-in microphone I bought an inexpensive Ugreen Car adapter with BT5.3, but it does not support the microphone (it does have it's own microphone which...

    Ety Hf3 worth repairing?

    Greetings and salutations Is there any point in repairing a pair of Hf3 earphones where one earphone has suddenly become a lot less loud than the other? It was during a walk today that the volume level on the right earphone dropped to all but audible. I can't think of anything that would've...

    The discovery thread!

    Hello everyone I suppose this fits in this thread. I just received a pair of KZ HBB Pro 2 yesterday and enjoy them a lot. My daily driver since many years is a pair of Etymotic ER 4XRs which I really love, but for the price the Pro 2s are really good. I'm a planar fan when it comes to speakers...

    Pitch varies when streaming from media server

    I believe it is eqMac. After the last few updates I've not experienced it anymore.

    Pitch varies when streaming from media server

    Thank you very much for replying. I appreciate it a lot. The main suspect at the moment is eqMac. Given how intermittent the problem it's difficult to test it, but I'm trying with and without the equaliser active.

    I've had my 4XR a year and a half and absolutely love them. For the longest time I played them without EQ but recently I started testing out with an app called eqMac on my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro and it is pretty remarkable what happens. I compare it with photography which is my main...

    Pitch varies when streaming from media server

    Thank you both very much for your replies and your suggestions. My apologies for not responding until now. I've been testing various configurations and then work decided to interfere. According to the internet there was apparently a setting in iTunes a few versions ago to change the streaming...

    Pitch varies when streaming from media server

    Hello everyone I hope this is the right subforum for this question. I'm listening to music from my music server over wifi and began to notice yesterday that the pitch of certain music sometimes becomes lower. It's best heard on music with strings in it. It sounds a bit like when one puts the...

    Music App

    Speaking from a purely personal perspective and how I access music, my two most-used apps are iTunes/Music on my Macs and iPhone and MusicStreamer on my iPhone. I don't subscribe to Spotify, Deezer, Tidal etc but prefer to own my music. I've set up a computer to stream music over wifi at home...

    How can I make my Etymotics sound better?

    Thank you for chiming in Chris. I've been experimenting today with both the settings in the dearVR Micro plugin and the equaliser in SoundSource, including with your suggestions so thank you for them. I can preliminarily conclude so far is that whichever is 'most preferable' depends on the music...

    How can I make my Etymotics sound better?

    Thank You very much, there's a really big difference! This is terrifically interesting. I'll have to play around with the settings but wow suddenly there's literally sound outside my head.

    How can I make my Etymotics sound better?

    Thank you for replying. I find them amazing to be honest particularly with acoustic music and well-recorded pieces. I just love the level of detail they produce, like tiny tinkles on a waterfall. Just beautiful. But I need to figure out a better way to listen to them with my iPhone because it...
