    CanJam London 2024 Impressions Thread (July 20-21, 2024)

    This was my first Canjam and it was indeed a blast! So wonderful to be in a space with so many people with the same interests and so much gear I've wanted to try out but never get the chance. Some items really surprised me, good and bad. Here is my quick rundown: - A&K SP3000T: I auditioned it...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    I haven't pursued trying third party cables with my IE 900, the stock one has been satisfactory for me. But got a chance to try Lavricables' Master Silver (V4) cable and it's pretty darn good. Posted a review, paired with my Mojo 2 and Hugo 2, for anyone interested...

    CanJam London 2024 (July 20-21, 2024)

    I've been eyeing Canjam for a while, but while in the states could never make it happen. Now in Europe, I found myself able to make the trek to London. Stoked! Have a concern though. I plan to bring my Utopia (OG) and Hugo 2 to try different gear. I know a ton of things are balanced these days...

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    That interesting, I don't have many BT headphones, but my Sony WF-1000XM5 and Shure BT2 adapter also have the coarse volume step issue. I always thought it was an operating system issue, not on the headphones themselves.

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I get that you really like the SE846. I like them a lot too (still have them 10 years later). But they aren't end-all be-all. Professional might be their target, but most of who's buying it are recreational users. That can't be ignored, and from that perspective, the IE 900 is totally a direct...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    I still use mine, but with the BT2 wireless adapter (which to me sound better than the Shure's TW adapters). For wired listening I use the IE 900, which are technically better to me. Pretty happy with this combo, as it's hard to beat the SE846 on the go. My WF-1000XM5, while great, can't touch...

    Lavricables - Impressions & Discussion Thread

    Hi all, I just posted my review of Lavricables' Master Silver (V4) cable for my IE 900. This was the first Lavricables product I've tried, and having heard a lot of good things, I was intrigued to say the least. It did not disappoint! Paired with my Mojo 2 and Hugo 2...

    Review by 'joshnor713' on item 'Lavricable Master Silver V4'

    Introduction I have to precursor this review by explaining that I’m not an audiophile who frequently rolls, be it ear pads/tips, tubes, sources, or cables. Yes, I do have some third-party parts, like Alza tips on my WF-1000XM5 or a Forza HPC Hybrid cable for my Focal Utopia, but this only...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    My H2/2go can end up an any room - living room for straight listening, office for gaming/movie watching, or bedroom for listening before sleeping. So the 2go has been pretty valuable to me. Stupid price though, hard to justify.

    The way you wrote that part made it look like it was part of Ed's signature. Gave me a chuckle 😂

    Focal Bathys Hi-Fi Bluetooth & ANC Headphones: Early Impressions

    I had apprehension on these headphones as well, have just got them a month ago after a lot of back and forth since they've been out on whether to take a leap of faith, so I hear ya. I'm travelling a lot more these days, often used my IE 900 + Mojo2/Poly combo, I wanted something wireless but...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    I'm currently writing a review on the Lavricables Master Silver cable for the IE 900, which I think could be up your alley. I too was unsure about all-silver with the IE 900, but in this case at least, I don't hear an over-brightened treble. Overall, it does sound leaner than the stock cable...

    Sounds like the issue I had, here: Seems like iFi hasn't done anything about updating their update instructions yet 🤦

    Exactly, it makes it look like support for the product was dropped and it's discontinued.

    You're not asking too much. There's no way around it that they've failed their streaming products.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    No rumors, and it's doubtful that a new one is in the works yet. I believe that Mr. Watts is still working on his top-end projects. I'm also sure that Chord would like the 2go to go (hehe) a bit longer before replacing it, which came out in 2020. I also would love a Hugo 3, which reaches...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Wow, incredibly bad. As much as I love the IE 900, I'd say any new prospective buyer should take note of this.

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    That is appalling. When my IE 800 S broke and they said it could not be repaired I somewhat understood because it's discontinued. But the IE 900 is still the company's active flagship earphone and it's really not that old. If they're not going to have a repair option, then the product needs to...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    When you sent it in, did you tell them you're out of warranty and need to be quoted for a repair? If so, this is ridiculous. They'd be basically using the condition of being out of warranty to neglect you being a customer, all while incentivizing you to buy another product from them 🤣

    Wait, so to update we have to first go to 1.91 then to 1.92? Can't go straight to 1.92? Weird

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I'm a data point that disagrees, but it really is headphone-dependent. Every now and then I try to use my Mojo 2 with my Utopia (original model), especially since I can apply a couple small EQ tweaks, but I can easily detect what I'm missing sound quality-wise compared to my Hugo 2 and it's...

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    That's the gray case that came with the original release (made in Germany). The Irish make is dark.

    Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk

    Is the fake case brown? Interesting how they would nail the details on the earphone but then be so different on the case. As far as I know the IE 900 only ever came in gray or almost black.
