    Huge Comparison of [almost] all the Best Bluetooth Headphones - post your own comparisons here

    I own a pair of backbeat pro's and I really like the sound. I like the fun sound and they do not have too much bass for me.. They are probably my favorite headphones I've owned. Not bad for what they cost. Please recommend a pair of wired headphones that would be an nice upgrade to the BBP...

    Huge Comparison of [almost] all the Best Bluetooth Headphones - post your own comparisons here

    Well I finally returned my backbeat pro's and picked up some backbeat Go 2 iem's. I wasn't expecting much from relatively cheap Bluetooth earphones. I'd say the sound quality is a little better than the typical headset you get with a smartphone. Bass is a little weak but can be remedied with a...

    Huge Comparison of [almost] all the Best Bluetooth Headphones - post your own comparisons here

    I did not get the bose. I've been going back and forth regarding whether or not to keep the bbp. Guaranteed not to hurt my ears or the top of my head. The headband on the bbp was giving me a headache. Imo, it's worse than the notorious Q701's. I've decided to get Bluetooth iem's as a stopgap...

    Target has the Bose soundlink wireless II for $250 right now. I'm considering buying them tonight. Looks like the ear cups are nice and big. Has anyone tried them out? How do they sound?

    I just received the plantronics backbeat pro headphones. Initial impressions are as follows. Cons -I don't like the headband. It pushes on the top of my head. -The method of changing tracks is sort of wonky. A button would be much easier. -Bass is boosted. I'm comparing them to powered studio...

    Has anyone found a quality Bluetooth class 1 dongle that supports aptx? 4.0 would be a bonus.

      I'll probably get the bbp.  If I bought the Sony's, I'd probably put off the mods and never get around to it.

    I've been reading this thread for some time now.  I stopped using my headphones as much after getting some powered studio monitors and a usb audio interface for my pc.  However, I recently bought some Logitech G930's (I had gift cards to Best Buy) for cheap and I decided I really liked wireless...

    Wireless headphone recomendations

    I recently bought some Logitech G930s for my daughter to use with my computer.  I didn't realize how much I'd like walking around the house with the headphones on. So now I'd like to get something better.  I'm looking at the Sennheiser RS160 & RS170.   I'm also looking at the BOHM bluetooth and...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sound Quality

    Thanks for your input. The problem with my setup is that it's cumbersome. If the note 4 has a good dac and a headphone amp, I'll get it. I can't use a quality portable media player because I use spotify. Yes, the bitrate is 320k but that's good enough for me. I sold my AKG q701's because I...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sound Quality

    I'm currently using a Fiio E07k connected to a Sony Xperia ultra smartphone. I'd like to replace this setup with smartphone that includes a dac and a small headphone amp. Would the note 4 be comparable? I'd be content if the smartphone sounded as good as my macbook does.
