Commuting. Phone in pocket. Cannot keep the phone in my back pocket at all. In the front pocket I still get drops. My main purpose in buying wireless was to improve commuting convenience, but that doesn't work so well if I must keep my phone in my hand.

Your first set then?

After last week's research into wireless headsets I ordered Oneodio A10 on AE, but Oneodio Official Store is not shipping until after the CNY holiday, so I expect to get them after mid-Feb. I will share when they arrive though. In an earlier post I mentioned that all BT headsets seem to have...

Thanks for clarifying. I can find the A10 for just $50 on AE, putting below the Mixcder E10 ($70) and inline with the Mpow ($54). I was a little concerned that the review I found of the Oneodio Fusion cited cheap build and ears hitting the driver covers due to shallow pads. Any comments on...

A10? OP listed E10.

Interesting that two sets are noise cancelling, but one is not. No strong opinions on that feature? EDIT: E10 review here by Jupit3r. To my eyes, these are the nicest looking of the bunch. "With a premium design, great build quality, decent noise reduction performance, impressive audio, and a...

Tempting. The form-factor is near identical to the MeElectronics HT-21 I'm replacing... Still reading that review in Spanish...

2 very good observations there: Comfort - I'm just saying that the angle of my ears on my head requires cups that pivot, that's all. Otherwise, I generally find on-ear to be quite comfortable if the clamping pressure is moderate. What's in my list - Sadly, I've only found one recommendation...

Still hoping for more smaller recommendations (on-ear). EDIT: Was looking for a good way to link up to the post where I was compiling some info. Not sure the quote method is obvious. Hmm...

Ha ha. Problem with chi-fi, how do you know unless you've tried it? I never quite finished that post I was working on above. My original request is in https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chinese-asian-brand-info-thread-on-or-over-ear-headphones.822184/page-384#post-15386086 above. TLDR: <$50. Good...

I've just discovered a local source for Remax products, but around here I only see reviews for their in-ear products. Has anyone tried their cans? EDIT2: Cleaned up and moved the list of models I'm looking at to a post below.

Why vents open? Good point on the trade-offs. The HT-21 that I'm replacing is a $20 on-ear (not over-ear) mini-can (with a cup diameter a little under 6cm). They never produced much bass, so I expect even with a fully closed full-size I will still be relatively happier with both the isolation...

Can anyone recommend cheap (<$50) on-ear cans for commuting? Good isolation is required. Earcups must pivot. My (quite old now) MEElectronics HT-21s are having wiring issues from L to R and I'm not confident I can replace that wire myself, so I would like to buy something to replace. I'm seeing...

This is a great thread. Is there a similar one for cans/on-ear/over-ear?

I was going to post this in the portables thread, but since this is definitely a request for help I am posting here. I hope I got it right.   I am one of those people who enjoyed my K26P, but sadly after a couple of years one of the clips on the metal headband cracked and I have been afraid to...

I was looking around to see if anybody on head-fi had the SB270s and came across your thread... I used mine for about 30 minutes yesterday on videos just to test and I didn't experience any lag. You might consider upgrading to the SB270. I had a pair of SB240s, but I returned them because I...

I'm just curious about the local culture here... The section at the top of this page says 'wiki' but it seems like only the original author makes edits. Is it considered bad form at head-fi to edit someone else's wiki article?

Thanks for the awesome review. I love frequency response charts. This is my first portable headphone amp, so please forgive stupid questions. But, is there any problem just setting the E5 to max volume and leaving it there? I ask, because it seems to sound ok, and then I can control the...

Just picked up this nice little combo because I wasn't getting enough isolation from the MDR-EX71. I know these aren't the very best for isolation, but I don't like to use expensive earphones on a day-to-day basis. I'm afraid I'll lose them. This seems like good bang for the buck in the...
