Am I mad? SE425 with custom tips or ANC
Yeah I can handle people talking and that it's more the engine noise i'd be wanting to block out. If I go down the route of ANC I'd be using them in an office space too and getting rid of my AKG K550 mk2s as well, they've got to be cabled too because I like to use a Dragonfly DAC- funkoid

Am I mad? SE425 with custom tips or ANC
Not fit issues really, I've had them 12-18 months and they're effectively sleeves so one of them has a tendency to not grip onto the iem brilliantly- funkoid

Am I mad? SE425 with custom tips or ANC
I've got a pair of SE425s with custom tips, although not the best fit they were okay on a flight last year. I'm planning a trip later this year and have been bitten by the headphone bug again, am I wasting my time though? Is ANC better or worse than custom tips?- funkoid

Review: Sensaphonics Custom Sleeves in Crystal Blue for the Shure SE846
Let me know how you get on! I ended up using a company based in the north west whilst I got some filtered musicians plugs made up for going to gigs, along with the iem sleeves. The sleeves are great for the train without a doubt but I have two main frustrations, the first being how tight they...- funkoid

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
How do you guys manage to keep it topped up on charge? Noticed mine isnt holding anywhere near as much charge as it was 6 months back. Wondering if it's because I hit pause on the unit, or let the album end, sometimes hit the power button, sometimes not.- funkoid

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
Thought as much :-( Going to be gutted if it keeps happening. It seems to be when I've been charging it, unplug it and the database builds in seconds. Full reboot, it scans the card again. Wondering if it's something to do with windows 10 locking the card without it being ejected etc- funkoid

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
So I've owned this for a year, only really used it 5 days a week for 6 months though due to a busy period. I've got a 200gb card in it and other than boot time, I've had zero problems. Recently, every time it reboots, it's only picking up the internal storage on the first reboot? Booting it...- funkoid

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
I'm seriously torn at the moment, I love the size and look of the player, the spec is good, the battery life is amazing... it's just the storage capacity. Minimum I'm looking at 200-256GB, more if and when it becomes available. I'm coming from an iPod Classic, the dream is to have my entire...- funkoid

From DT990 to AKG 550 MK2?
I've been using some DT990 Pros for 18 months now and love them but I'm struggling with them being open having now moved locations. I thought my solution was a pair of DT770 .... but I hated them, they sounded aweful! From a closed back isolation point of view the AKG 550 MK2 keep popping up...- funkoid

Dragonfly Black an 'upgrade'?
I have an old Fubar DAC (ii i think) and iCute amp combo to power my DT990 pros (250ohm). Wondering if a dragonfly black v1.5 will sound much different and whether it would be an 'upgrade' or not?- funkoid

New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion
So coming from a PCM2702 / OPA2604 setup it's definitely be an improvement? I can't decide between the dragon, Cambridge Audio Dacmagic xs 1 or 2. Wouldn't mind having some form of physical volume control though as it'll be on my desk in work.- funkoid

New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion
Has anyone tried the black with 250ohm headphones, I'll be powering a pair of DT990 Pros so want to make sure it'll have enough juice. Also, this will be my upgrade from a Fubar Dac and iCute amp combo, am I likely to notice a difference with standard lossless CD files?- funkoid

I was looking at flashing RockBox onto my iPod but I'm now confused about my whether I'm on a 5G or what they class is a '6G'?

"Essential" fiio cables for travel!
I have a fiio e7 on the way and was wondering what cables I should buy? I'll be using it with a selection of iems, an iPod classic 5g, and on planes, so assume I'll need an adaptor and some other small cables. Clueless at this point as it's the first portable dac/amp I've had. Sent via...- funkoid

Shure SE215 or ATH-ANC23?
I'm doing more and more commuting as time goes on, I'm looking for better isolation and noise cancellation than I currently get with the Havi B3 Pros & VSD3s.

Both of these noise cancelling models have caught my attention recently as I'm tempted to give them a go whilst traveling on trains and planes, instead of my Havi B3 Pros and VSD3s/5.... looking at the age of the model however they're looking pretty old, i think the earlier model has been going...- funkoid
