CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread
Wow... them Yamaha's are £5000. Had no idea hahaha. I demoed them thinking they're Yamahas so probably ~£500ish and performed well at that range (e.g. compete with hifimans entry-mid level offering at that price). For £5000 the acoustic phone box surely has to come with it. Googling "acoustic...- CantScareMe

CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread
Wow, you have three UE customs! I didn't demo the live's yesterday so can't say about its sound in comparison (have heard them previously though). But apparently pro's who are their main customer base don't require demo's pre-purchase much. Many don't purchase themselves, having teams /...- CantScareMe

CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread
I've got the latest version of them UE18's (3rd version I believe - plus pro's). It hasn't been updated since I bought it, put it that way! There was a pretty large difference IMO between the demo version of the UE18+ pro and my custom (with perfect fit) But comparing the demo premier vs the...- CantScareMe

CanJam London 2023 Impressions Thread
Agree what you said about the UE demo shells. I can categorically say that there was a not just obvious but large, difference in favour of my custom UE18+ Pro's vs their universal demo UE18+ Pro unit Using foam tips on the universal gets you a tad closer, but still it's like the FR has been...- CantScareMe

Desktop DAC+Amp (same footprint of the 12 master and 15). Their naming is confusing for these new releases - they've called their portable DAC/Amp the CMA 18 and the desktop the CMA 18 Master- CantScareMe

What's Up With Sennheiser? I Asked The Sennheisers.
Hmmm...interesting news. I remember Phonak very well - PFE 232 were one of my favourite IEM's back in the day :) They wound down their headphone division given it didn't compete with margins/profits from their other products. But then again, not many products can compete with the astonishing...- CantScareMe

What's Up With Sennheiser? I Asked The Sennheisers.
I've bought headphones and equipment that cost anything from a tenner to £3k, £4k and even £5k+. Some of them very popular here and on YT. Regularly they suck, in sound and in build quality/design. One manufacturer, which shall go unnamed, uses dodgy glue in their "lifetime guaranteed" headband...- CantScareMe

What's Up With Sennheiser? I Asked The Sennheisers.
Not sure "Innovation" is what chinese manufacturers in personal audio are known for. Sennheisers competition is much more likely apple, beats, bose, sonos, UE, JBL etc rather than chinese brands populating amazon with paid/fake reviews. Sennheiser have a strange approach to consumer audio and...- CantScareMe

What's Up With Sennheiser? I Asked The Sennheisers.
Focussing on their "Consumer" business, which the statement says is Premium Headphones, Audiophile, Enhanced Hearing and Soundbars. What I'd like to know is how the Audiophile arm is doing. I heavily doubt its the worst performing. It's probably where Sennheiser have the least competition and...- CantScareMe

SONY NW-ZX500
Volume cap only ever applied to wired connections - 4.4mm and 3.5mm. Bluetooth was always exempt which was ironic I know. I believe in this firmware rollout, which is a major release indicated by the new integer jump, they've tried to "correct" it and apply full volume control over bluetooth...- CantScareMe

SONY NW-ZX500
Quick note about the latest firmware for the ZX 507 (UK-EU version) - 3.00.07 Very dangerous, watch out. Nearly blew my ear drum with it's new bluetooth volume management using my Senn Momentum's (which work 100% fine - tested on various devices) Touching the volume on either the zx507 or...- CantScareMe

I had both, 1000+hrs listening with each one. Compared them thoroughly when I decided I wanted to keep only one. Used a few of my headphones (HD800S, Z1R, Abyss Diana...). The Questyle is better pretty much across the board with sound. I'd say it wasn't subtle either given the relative...- CantScareMe
