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?- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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)- tekwrx

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- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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:- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

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...- tekwrx

New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion
I also just sent my DFB back to Amazon today. I liked it and think it is a great device, but I didn't find enough improvement over just using my stock LG V10 (in high gain mode). The DFB was great with my IEMs, but it didn't have enough juice to power my full size Sony MDR-Z7 so I figured what's...- tekwrx

USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
Is there a way to view albums by date instead of by title when in Artist view? It would be better is the album list under an artist was in chronological order. Is that something that can be easily added?- tekwrx

Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5
Interesting. I certainly like the price of the 7550 better than the Z5. What are the main differences between them? I like that the Z5 is metal. Is the 7550 plastic? Have you heard the A2 or A3 to be able to compare? Sorry for all the questions, but I've been itching for a new IEM and I'm a bit...- tekwrx

Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5
They don't really compare. Similar sound signature, but the Z7 has more clarity bass slam. I really want an IEM version of the Z7 and thought the Z5 might fit the bill.- tekwrx

Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5
So last week I got a pair of XBA-A3, but I've just packed them up to return to Amazon. They sounded fine, but I didn't hear much improvement over my XAB-A2 to justify the price ($289). I really like the sound of the A2 (had them almost a year) and the Sony house sound (I also have the MDR-Z7) so...- tekwrx

Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7
Does the Z7 get loud enough with the Dragonfly Red? I have the Dragonfly Black and it's great for my IEM, but doesn't seem to have enough power for the Z7 so I still have to use my FiiO E12. I'm thinking about returning the Black and getting the Red but I've also been thinking about just...- tekwrx

Best Smartphone for audiophile
What do you mean by this? Fact is the MM update actually opened up the internal ESS DAC so it can be used with all 3rd party apps. The DAC Fix app is no longer required to access the DAC with other apps besides the LG music player & Tidal as it was when the phone launched. Also, the V10 with MM...- tekwrx

Sony's new flagship 2014 - MDR-Z7
While I'd love to be able to afford the PHA-3, I've really been enjoying my Z7 with the FiiO E12. Plenty of power and I think it sounds nice with the Z7 (even with bass boost turned on)- tekwrx
