    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I like the looks of these. Kinda like a little turbo charger in your ear :beyersmile: I'd be curious how the sound and perform. No mention of Aptx, so probably AAC only?

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    They fit and isolate pretty good. They do feel like traditional IEMs. When I first got them, I used medium size Sony Hybrids tips because that's what I usually use with all my IEMs, but I actually went back to the included medium tips that came in the box. I just find them more comfortable and...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    I haven't done a formal testing, but when I got them the other day I gave it a full charge, then let it play until they died and got between 6-7 hours (around noon until sometime after 6pm)

    I really like that charging case! Too bad there isn't a standardized charging pin spec for TWS so the chargers were more universal, then we could buy a different style charging case for our favorite buds. Oh well

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    My Mpow T5's arrived a day early (ordered yesterday on Prime Day, wow :) ), and have only listened for a few minutes but so far I like what I hear. I might be able to send back the Tranya T3. I guess I would call myself a bit of a basshead (my wired buds for the last few years are the Sony...

    Just picked up the MPOW T5 on Prime Day sale for $36. We'll see if they can replace my Tranya T3's :smile_phones:

    Me too! Hoping the T5 is on sale during Prime Day. I'm very new to TWS, started with the SoundPeats TrueFree+ (QCY QS2) about a week ago, but am sending them back since I got the Tranya T3. Really happy with those, but the AptX in the MPOW T5 has me really curious. Plus I think they look nicer...

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    What would cause embedded album art to display in other apps (eg Poweramp), but not in UAPP? I don't use JPG in the folder, but everything is embedded and tagged properly using MP3Tag on the PC. There are quite a handful of albums that don't display art in UAPP, but are fine in Poweramp

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Thanks for the offer. While that's not a bad price for them these days, it's still out of my budget at the moment

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Thanks @Raketen. Yeah, I tried a few different sources. No luck. I can check the resistance with my meter tomorrow and see. I'm leaning towards it being a driver failure though. The only thing I think that may have happened is I connected them to my FiiO BTR3 amp while a bass heavy song was...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    My all time favorite IEMs, the MDR-XB90EX, died today :disappointed_relieved: I went to listen to them today and there is no output from the left side. I don't know what happened, none of the wires feel loose or anything. I didn't drop them or abuse them. Is there anyway to repair them you...

    FiiO Q1MKII- Native DSD Support, XMOS USB DAC chip, DAC AK4452, 20 hours

    I haven't read through this whole thread yet, but I am thinking about buying the Q1mkII to replace my old Q1. I'm interested in using the balanced connection with my Sony MDR-Z7 'phones but I'm not sure what cable I need. I would assume I need a cable or adapter that has 2.5 TRSS to dual 3.5...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Yes, it turns on High Impedance Mode every time. Here is how I do it: Plug the volume control extender into the phone while making sure the analog volume dial is set to maximum volume. Then just plug in the headphones into the volume extender. Works just like the old AUX trick, except you just...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    I just enabled High Impedance Mode for the first time with my IEMs. I use the Sony xb90ex, and these seem to respond well to more power. They're nt just louder, the seem to have more body, even at lower volume if that makes sense. I've been using AUX mode for the last year onn my V10 and now...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    I use Poweramp and BubbleUPNP and they both show music controls. In fact, all media players I've used show controls on the 2nd screen. Weird that Foobar doesn't...
