    Sony WH-H910N discussion.

    I am looking at these (H910N) and H900N as well as XB900N. The prices available to me are: Sony WH-XB900N - $180 Sony WH-H910N - $180 Sony WH-H900N - $120 ($84 refurb.) Which would you get for this price? This thread gives 910N a lot of good criticism but I found some reviews describing bad...

    Purchase advice for wireless over-ear headphones, from a list!

    I'm looking for a pair of wireless BT headphones, over-ear, possibly ANC, and I have come up with the following list based on prices, preference and availability in my country (Sweden). In general items are a bit pricier and less available here than in US, so try to take that into account if you...

    Which BT headphone for around $200? Northern Europe

    I have been looking for BT headphone, preferably over-ear or on-ear. I will use it at office or home, possibly from/to office as well, not sure. I am not against buying second hand, but I am from Sweden so I am limited to that country or at least Europe if I consider that. I don't want to import...

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

    Thanks, I'll take a look at those. Don't know really, I think I just took a liking to them. I think I saved the clip but it was so long ago and I've been using headphones since.

    Functional IEM's similar to JVC FXD70 availabe in EU

    I had a pair of JVC FXD70 a few years ago. But last time I ordered them, 2016, they came in DOA and when I returned them it seems the seller never received them in Japan. I don't even know if these are still available through import, but I don't really wanna go through that hassle again. So...

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

    Are there any IEMs that can be fairly easily ordered to Europe that are similar to this line? Specifically similar to FXD70. I am not necessarily talking about audio here: they had a good fit in my ears and were incredibly functional with the cable clip etc. So anything that I guess is...

    Is there anyway to make these headphones more clampy on your head? I've had mine for about 2 yrs, and initially found them uncomfortable so I stretched them out a bit. I haven't used them for quite a while but now I find them too loose.

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

    I'm on my 2nd pair of HA-FXD70 with some foam earbuds from ebay, and I love them. I love the sound, I love the cable collector, I love the clip, I love the durability. I'm not even much of an audiophile, frankly. But when it comes to these IEMs, they have held up remarkably despite heavy use and...

    Are there any good IEMs or portable headphones with a Lightning connector?

    yeah but those are kinda expensive (although headphones with lightning connectors also seem expensive) and I would imagine my battery would drain if I had bluetooth on all the time and listened to music through it. I guess I could get a DAC instead, but I'd prefer a non-bulky option

    Are there any good IEMs or portable headphones with a Lightning connector?

    I dropped my iPhone and it messed up the 3.5mm jack a bit. It's deformed now and I have to use force to plug my headphones in, although the sound still works. I don't really know if it's repairable, I think the whole metal frame would have to be changed. I haven't checked out my possibilities...

    Lightning Cables - Official and Custom (welcomed).

    Hope this is the right thread. This is not DAC related but I figured you guys would know. I have an iPhone 5S with a messed up 3.5mm jack. I dropped it and ever since then I really have to push the 3.5 mm plug in with force, although the sound still works. Is there any way you could get a small...

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

    Where would I buy the FXD70 for fastest shipping to Europe (Sweden)? They don't seem available in Europe at all. I bought them on ebay last time, still the place to go?

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

    How does the FXD70's sound signature differ from FXD80's? I've had the FXD70's and I loved them. Not only the sound (it could've had a bit more bass, but I found it to be great overall), but the fit, comfortability and durability most of all. (Although they broke after 1 yr & 8 mo of care-free...

    Review: RHA MA-750 (one of the best sub $200 IEM's around)

    So, anyone know any good tips for these? The foam ones supplied are pretty good but I'm having trouble getting a decent fit in my right ear canal. I've tried the silicon ones but they don't quite cut it for me either.

    JVC's Micro HD Line: HA-FXD80/70/60

    Exactly what can the FRD80's remote do? Play/pause and forward? No volume control? Comparing the FXD70 vs the FXD80, would the latter be an upgrade in sound or just a move sideways (different signature)?

    Review: RHA MA-750 (one of the best sub $200 IEM's around)

    Ok, I've been using mine for the past few hours now. Now, they certainly sound very good. I'm by no means an audiophile, but I'd say they sound quite a bit richer than the FXD-70's (my previous IEMs, I will be using them as comparison here); just as clear, but still with a decent amount of bass...

    Review: RHA MA-750 (one of the best sub $200 IEM's around)

    Sorry, but what do you mean by chin strap?  About the mic version - I read from one user that the cable seems prone to break at the point where the cable connects to the remote. Does it seem particularly weak there or has this happened with a lot of units, or was this just a one-off?

    Review: RHA MA-750 (one of the best sub $200 IEM's around)

    Is any form of cable management accessory necessary on this IEM? I've got this little rubber thing you can wrap your cable around with my JVC HA-FXD70 and I suspect I'll miss it if the MA750's cable doesn't fit with it.

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Thanks for the suggestions, gonna check them out. I absolutely don't mind wearing them over the ear. In fact, I wore my FXD-70's that way because I found the the fit was better (although that's what my have caused them to start to glitch - maybe it put too much stress on the cable). I did forget...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    The left phone on my JVC HA-FXD70's beginning to glitch. Sound is occassionally cut off. I really like them, so any tips on similar phones with prices ranging from $70 - $100?  Actually considered buying another pair but I might as well try something new while I'm at it. I've looked a bit at...

    I've had these for some time now, and maybe my hair is weird or something, but they itch so much. Anyone else experience this? I really love the sound so it's such a shame

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    OK, I'm looking for a low/mid-priced IEM (<$60), preferably with remote (volume control and next track). I will mainly use them when I'm out running and working out. Any recommendations?  I've looked at Steelseries Flux In-ear, Etymotic Research ETY-Kids 5/3 and MEElectronics M6P.

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    I might have brought up this problem before, but I seem to be only able to control the audio volume on the left channel on any device connected to my sound card. I encountered this problem about a year ago, and then it disappeared for a while, only to come back a couple of weeks ago. I can't...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I've got mine hanging quite close to the computer, and as observed by others the pads are virtual dust-magnets. I've got quite thick hair so it sheds like a cat's, so dust isn't my only problem. How would I go about keeping the pads fresh? I try to only use the headphones when I'm clean, but...

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    Noob Q's. Exactly what is sampling rate/scale? Does it matter which setting you use? (44.1, 48 kHz etc).
