Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion
I don’t doubt this. Something like this happened with my Meze 99 Classics. I think it’s a combination of different factors, some psychophysical and some electromechanical—the elusive burn-in effect. Some headphones need that more than others. I liked my AirPods Max pretty much out of the box...- erich6

Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion
I tried out the PX8 at an airport store and I was disappointed—they sounded wooly with a closed-in soundstage using wireless connection to my iPhone 14 Pro. Admittedly, it was a quick trial and it’s possible the headphones had a bad EQ profile loaded in them. The attendant said she liked...- erich6

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless - The Official Thread
I agree with your description. I think the M3 is very underrated by the community. I'm very happy with mine. It's a shame the M4 design went a different direction.- erich6

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless - The Official Thread
Specs are promising! I don't like what the glimpse of the new design suggests. I like the retro look the M3 and previous versions have.- erich6

Astell&Kern A&norma SR25 MK II - Available November 2021
I had that happen to my first SR25 and then it happened again with the one they replaced it with. I am having better luck with my third one but I'm no longer using it as a DAC and doesn't get as much playtime. It will take several days to get it serviced or replaced but it's included in the...- erich6

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Thanks @Luckyleo and @Shane D, seems that from a tone response perspective you like the Grado's emphasis in the higher frequencies. You also find the Grado more resolving? I have been eyeing the RS1X but maybe the Hemp or 325X are a better entry point.- erich6

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I like my HD6xx and HD660S headphones but I'm thinking about adding a set of Grado's to my collection. What is it about the Grado sound you prefer? Which Grado's would fall in the "like" category for you (or which are the exceptions)?- erich6

OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread
I think they sound pretty good even compared to current offerings unless you are looking for bleeding edge tech or need more power. It's a unique physical design and form factor which I find to be very classy.- erich6

Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone
Wow, so far I'm very impressed with the consensus on the quality of these headphones. Can anyone share how the Meze Liric sounds compared to the Sennheiser HD660S? I'm looking for a closed-back upgrade & variation to my Meze 99 Classics and these might be it.- erich6

WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!
For new customers this seems like a nice update. For existing customers like me with version 2 and a tube power supply this is a not an option despite the enticing availability of balanced output.- erich6

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
I had a similar issue with mine...twice so twice replaced. Both times the battery expanded and popped the back out so I couldn't close the device. Is your battery swollen? A&K was responsive in both cases and replaced my device. I'm on my third one now and haven't had the issue. That said, I'm...- erich6

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
I recently moved and in my current situation I find myself using the DAP in Wi-Fi streaming mode. Others have reported problem with Wi-Fi before but my case seems to be different. The signal strength is very strong and I have no problem with the connection unless...the DAP turns the screen off...- erich6

Meze 99 Classics Discussion + Impressions Thread
Welcome to the club! I've had the 99 Classics for a few years now and I'm thinking about going the opposite direction you took and get the Empyrean. Would like to get your thoughts on how they compare once you have used the 99 Classics for a while. Cheers.- erich6

AirPods Max
I tried the APMs and really l liked the way they sounded along with all the Apple integration benefits. Unfortunately, the did not fit me well as they hurt my ears after an hour or two of wearing them. I thought after a few days of wearing them I would break them in but that didn't happen so I...- erich6
