    T+A Solitaire T Wireless Headphone

    I’ve got a question re: the SolT aux jack and would love it if someone could correct my understanding here. I’ve been using the OIDIO Pellucid Plus cable that I got for my Shure AONICs back in the day, which goes from a 3.5 connector to a 2.5 connector. My understanding is that the 3.5 end...

    I would love to try them at some point! It sounds like they may be slightly more analytical and technically impressive in some ways.

    Yeah, that drama was absolutely stupid. I stopped checking both threads as I find that argumentative and insulting side of Head-Fi to be pointless. But I’m glad it’s subsided now. I still love my tan Px8s but they are not on the same level as these (which TBH is to be expected as both headphones...

    Ok, this is kind of a dumb post, but… I took a chance and picked up a pair of white SolT, feeling confident I’d enjoy them thanks to the numerous thoughtful comments in this thread but also secure knowing I could return if I didn’t. These sound ****ing amazing, both wirelessly and even though...

    Beyerdynamic Xelento!

    Definitely give them a try—the symbio foamies, aside from looking cool and orange, somehow manage to leave most of the upper range alone, which is great. Not something I can say from the times I've tried Comply, for example.

    Beyerdynamic Xelento!

    Xelento Gen 2 with the wireless neckband and Symbio F foamies blocks out far more noise for me than any ANC I’ve tried so far. Perfect for outdoors. I take very good care of my Xelentos and while they’re expensive, I find them versatile enough to use out of the house. TBH the most concern I...

    I super enjoy Symbio F foam ear tips for mostly the same reasons @holsen mentioned, but perhaps with less firmness.

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    Oof, sorry to see it happened to you as well. Maybe try using a spudger to gently push it back in? Sounded like that worked for folks earlier in this thread. Such a dumb point of failure.

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    Great impressions, thank you for sharing! Agreed with everything re: Px8 and P7W. Couple of additional thoughts: you might try fiddling with the fit a bit, with respect to the first issue you mentioned. I've found the effect changes quite a bit when wearing them tilted a bit forward vs. tilted...

    You can, but you’re assuming that one re-encode of a high quality AAC would ever be perceptually noticeable. Additionally, lossless files (regardless of tier) will place a higher load on bandwidth and battery.

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    I personally agree in that I wouldn't wear headphones bigger than the Px8 when out and about, but I think there's still a market for large, home-focused wireless ANC headphones. I think of it a bit like an iMac compared to a MacBook Pro. The markets may not be the same size-wise, but they both...

    Mine turn back on automatically when I wear them shortly after auto-shutoff, which makes me assume that their standby mode uses some battery compared to being fully powered off.

    Don't be rude. He was pointing out a very reasonable competitor that may be worth considering for some folks who check out this thread.

    Can confirm, tan is gorgeous in person. Pics don't do it justice.

    Always hard to get a sense for how frequent an issue is. Regardless, enjoy your Px8s! They're a lot of fun.
