Hmm my PR1 Pro is randomly fading, much softer and blur in output on both side asynchronously, dying? Tried on different wires and sources.... Barely a year

It's here in SG... No other Google mention though https://av1group.com.sg/products/hifiman-ananda-stealth-magnet-headphone?mc_cid=e93a9b9eeb&mc_eid=aadb937542

I was waiting for this before buying the Ananda wired. Had been using that with an Earstudio ES100. Anyone has had experience to share with both? Thanks

How about a folding yoke? See Dan Clarks' new Aeon 2.. I'm on the non-BT Ananda, and lugging that big case with the empty space where the yoke is uncomfortable.

Hmm weird. I'd connected to my Note 8 via otg, and the DAC works, but the Radsone app doesn't see it at all. Lol

Yup, in summary, but only if the headphones need it. On my Ananda I'm usually around -12db volume on 2x mode. This burns about 10-15% batt per hour on average. If it sounds like a vague answer it's because of many factors involved, so it's a bit qualitative. If the headphones don't suck power...

Hi hi, the whining sound comes from the Bluetooth chipset used in your headphones. It was prevalent in many headphones around the same age. Iirc it's because the BT channel stays open. One of my headphones had a firmware to fix it, so you see it's tied to the specific product. For transmitting...

:clap:

There's the new fiio btr5 coming soon. I'm also wishing someone would invent a TWS pair of 3.5mm inputs :D just like the ATH accessory

I'd posted a review by Audio46 earlier here. Ananda BT wires both drivers together, to allow the Bluetooth to work. And it therefore has a USB DAC. Don't think it has separated left right inputs anymore, like the Audeze gaming headset. It does have a very nice semi hard case though, which is...

Thanks for correcting the LDAC receiver licence bit, hadn't known that. Samsung Note series 8 or 9 have the same codec decisions, not aptx hd. Try the Samsung forums. And yes need to enable the checkbox under the normal Bluetooth capabilities dialog. Sony has the same kind of checkbox for aptx...

LDAC and aptx joined the main open source Android release in version 8, meaning all Oreo phones and later. The badly named Developer options allow an Oreo user to check all their Bluetooth options. aptx hd and aac are optional but most just include them, except Samsung for aptx hd. Sony doesn't...
