    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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

    Thanks guys. Like I said before I really like my Senns but sometimes I crave a bit more energy and clarity. Your description is very helpful!

    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.

    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)?

    Hi everyone, I’m considering getting the RS1x. How long is the cable that comes with it?

    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.

    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.

    Astell&Kern A&norma SR25 MK II - Available November 2021

    Any updates to the Wi-Fi design? This was a weakness in the first version.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    NEW Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 ANC Headphones - Reviews & Impressions

    That Berluti edition looks fantastic. I'm tempted but since it is a limited edition I'm concerned about the long-term availability of replacement pads.

    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...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    According to the press release Sonova can use the Sennheiser brand to continue to release audio products. Whether they will retain the 6-series/8-series is unknown.

    Sennheiser has been sold!

    From the press release: I understand this to mean Sonova will be able to use the Sennheiser brand to release new products. It's unclear if they plan to continue to produce Sennheiser consumer headphones like the HD660 or if they will end those products and only use the brand to release new...
