I love the soundstage width. It's very very wide to my ears. The bass is good but a bit low in quantity (had to turn on NX4's bass boost on). I guess It needs some eq. Music feels very 'real' if I can say so compared to my Galaxy Buds Pro. Recommended IMO. Just tried a bass-heavy track and my...

For sure! But my current reference is Galaxy Buds Pro and a Jade Audio IEM (that's all I have at the moment). So, my opinion might not matter much.

I just bought the HD 560S :)

I'm seeing some good offers - £118 for Sennheiser HD 560S in the UK. Is it a good price?

Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at the measurements without smoothing and finding AKG headphones have a very 'rough' treble. Is that a problem? https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/headphones/measurements/akg/k702/

Any idea about https://crinacle.com/graphs/headphones/akg-k612-pro/

Update: I have spotted a 'new' HD558 for £125 plus additional shipping. Is it worth it?

Thanks for the reply. But I can't seem to make my mind up to buy a used headphone! Sorry! Do you think for the amount I quoted (£70 - $90 - 82 euros), no good quality solutions won't be available?

Hello folks! I have a Topping NX4 DSD amp/dac and my main use cases are Spotify and PC gaming. Would love an open sounding (like that of a good pair of bookshelf speakers) device and a flat frequency response. I'm a bit partial to open-back earbuds but please reply with your suggestions. I...

Please report back if you are successful as I'm from the UK too (east midlands).

Sorry, I should have been more specific! I was talking about Bluetooth. On the ifi website, it is said that the Hip DAC 2 have ~8 hrs of battery life. But the size is big. That's great as there is not much difference between the two in price terms. BTW any info about Astell & Kern stuff?

Any idea on the Hip DAC 2 from ifi in comparison with the ifi Go Blu in terms of SQ? Ifi Go Blu is the current SQ champion, right?

Could it be that you received a lemon? QC issues are common on some models! Would you consider a replacement first? I'm asking because I'm in the market for one and was looking at this model!

So, I travel a lot on the breaks and for work. I also do travelling on flights too with its noisy engines. I use android, ios and windows 10 for gaming and movie watching and it's impossible (for me) to find a wireless earbud/iem that does it all with low latency. For PC, I'm going to get a...

Cool! Thanks for the reply! There is aptX LL support - thats why I mentioned games. 8.5 hrs is really good btw.

So, is this the 'best' for low latency gaming and movie watching? My sources are my PC (intel Bluetooth 5), android phone and iPad. I have a Jade Audio IEM but I'm planning to get either 7hz timeless or the etymotic E2XR for listening. Would love good battery life like 10 hrs (is it too much?)...

So, the Moondrop Chaconne is very good, right? But thats 250 quid :frowning2: Would a Yincrow 2000 be close enough?

Hey! Sup guys! Can you guys recommend an earbud (Bluetooth or wired) in like 100 quid? It's for PC gaming and music listening during my commute. It would be great if it have a mic for making calls or team comms in games. I'm in the UK btw. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! But, unfortunately, its unavailable in my country! I kind of like Soundpeats True Air 2. Seems like its got a lot of positive reviews. But TBH, I'm looking for a product from more "mainstream" western or Japanese brands like Sony, Jabra etc. It seems like they are too costly.

Was looking for a budget bluetooth earbud and found Jays T Four. My budget is $30-40 and I would be using it for phone calls, podcasts, netflix and may be a little gaming (PC gaming). So, is it good?

Hi guys! Has anyone bought the Jade Audio EA3 ? Any idea on how it sounds ? I have and it's yet to reach me. Probably have to wait one more week.

Modi+Magni ? Yeah, it definitely is an option! But, I already have a Yamaha AS500 amp on my desk and I don't like to stack two more boxes right next to it! I was interested in more of a integrated DAC+Headphone amp setup. But I'm not ruling it out completely. Thanks for the suggestion btw.

Is it this one? https://www.bajaao.com/products/lexicon-alpha-usb-desktop-recording-studio?variant=1004416343

I'm in India. https://www.fiio.co.in/ Btw, topping nx4 dsd is available here for less than most of the FiiO music players.

Interesting recommendation! But, it's not on sale in my country. There's the X5 mk3 here btw!
