Just got an LG G8X. It came with Android 9, should I upgrade it to Android 10 or stay on 9? Going to use it purely for listening to music.- LSD25

FiiO BTR3-The World' First Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier, SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC/HWA (LHDC)
I'm trying to connect BTR3 to iPad pro 11, which has Type-C connector. Using a Type-C to Type-C cable doesn't work. Tested three different C to C cables on Note 8, and iPad, still nothing. If I connect a Type-C external SSD, it does show up, so the cables do data transfer. Only way I can get...- LSD25

V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless - We Discuss It With Val Kolton - Head-Fi TV
Hmm.. good idea! I'll go try them out at local headphone shop one of these days. Yeah, mine are still in great condition though, they're built like a tank. I was eyeing the new sony bluetooth WH-1000MX3(I think) at bestbuy, but didn't feel so confident about their durability.. wouldn't wanna...- LSD25

V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless - We Discuss It With Val Kolton - Head-Fi TV
I just noticed the Immortal Life Upgrade thing on V-Moda website. I have the original Crossfade Wireless. I can get a $200 discount if I get Crossfade 2 Wireless Codex for upgrading.. $350-$200 = $150. I usually use my CW1 in wired mode like 90 - 95% of times. I prefer the bass, got them...- LSD25

NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas
Just got the Atlas today, they are my first pair of high-end iems. (tried SE215s before) All I have to say is... Goood lord!! I never thought iems could have such a massive sound! I'm just floored by that enormous bass. Nothing really sounds unpleasant, no harshness, almost everything I throw...- LSD25

Bose QC35 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones
I'm thinking of getting these... but I need quick help in deciding! Got three headphones in mind, V-Moda Crossfade Wireless with XL pads, Momentum Wireless, and QC35. Comfort is the main priority for me, I want to be able to sleep with them on. A good decent bass is second. Which should I go...- LSD25

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
The sibilance on HD800 never really bothered me, it sounded slightly harsh when I first got them but a little eq-ing fixed it. Ended up doing anax mod too and it was completely gone. TH900 on the other hand was just piercing at first and I couldn't stand it, had to do heavy EQ to fix it. But...- LSD25

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
There we go, that's the word! It definitely has that body and mass to it. I keep coming back to them more and more after listening to the Sennheisers lol. Though I find HD800s do really well with deep atmospheric music (ambient, drone stuff), which demands that wide soundstage.- LSD25

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Did some more listening between TH900 and HD800 just to get the feel of their sound, and let some more 'brain burn-in'. The instruments sound different.. like I found that the Indian flute sounds richer and juicy on th900, it has a nice "flavor" (not sure how else to describe it). Whereas on...- LSD25

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
I tried mine on my friend's iphone, they sounded wayy too harsh, they gave off that hot sparkly treble, couldn't bear it. They sound completely different on my amp, but even then I have to eq the treble down often. One reason why I think my amp makes these sound a bit bright is because the...- LSD25

Wow I just put in new opamps... these headphones just sing! Can't stop smiling :D I was hesitant at first, wanted to return them since I wasn't too impressed. Sound source matters a lot with these things, very sensitive headphones.- LSD25

Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)
You got a similar problem as mine. Wanted to take the front panel off, and I thought the only way volume knobs would come off is if i turn them past their stop and just unscrew them. But now they just turn over and over without stopping, and I have my volume permanently at 0. You just have...- LSD25

Will this one work as a replacement? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-12mm-Alpha-A10K-10K-Audio-Taper-Potentiometer-4-Gang-15mm-Shaft-/261667615876 I hope the pin pitch is right. If so, then I just have to modify it a bit to get the knob fit to the shaft.- LSD25

Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)
Ahhh, too late, I broke it. I had to tinker with it didn't I? Well, that's how you learn. Well, at first the crackling would go away if i turned it a few times back and forth, but over time it got worse and it wouldn't go away. But anyways, now I tried to open the thing out. I tried to...- LSD25

Might be getting mine very soon! I hope the TH900 will be a good companion to my HD800. I usually have to resort to M50s whenever I feel like listening to some bass heavy EDM stuff. HD800s usually leaves me unsatisfied in that compartment... but so does going from HD800 to M50s lol- LSD25
