I've moved from the boom pro to the beyerdynamic custom headset microphone. https://europe.beyerdynamic.com/custom-headset-gear-2-generation.html The microphone quality is definitely better, and the build quality is MILES better:

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but does anyone know of a current supplier selling these for a reasonable price? The two in the OP don't list them on their sites, and the second has changed name and wants £60 to make one custom....

I may be being blind but I can't see any talk about the samsung buds true wireless in here beyond the initial announcement, people should all have received their "free" ones with S10 by now, what's the real world verdict on the sound quality? The reviews flick between they're great to they're...

Hello! How does the BTR3 compare to the BTR1? Is it a better, more powerful version or just a newer version with APTXHD etc?

UK, I've managed to find a seller now though :)

Gee, is your S7 EU or non-EU? I have an EU exynos s8 and it really can't drive my RHA t10i

Thanks. I do mean purely for sound quality alone and ability to drive headphones well, not portability or form factor etc. I've ordered both, will keep whichever i prefer and sell the other. Thanks!

Thanks! Where does the btr1 fit into the mix? XB10 > FiiO E17 > BTR1? XB10 > BTR1 > E17?

managed to order a BTR1 for £33 so will see if it does what I want it to, now HK sellers are passing on the lower price internationally I'll get an XB10 if it doesn't! As said before my baseline for quality is the fiio E17, and I suppose it's just too dissimilar for anyone to have bothered...

Shame I can’t find any sellers willing to ship one for a nominal shipping fee at that price!

Oh wow nice, Wan Chai market or mong kok?

I do wonder if that’s all xb10s or if yours is faulty ! No reviews mention this :s

Thanks! I’m in the uk and the btr1 is £55 vs £150 for the xb10. Amazon.com will ship the btr1 for £49 and the xb10 for £96 so brings the gap down to double instead of triple. I presume either will drive RHA T10is louder than comfortable ? For things like movies, is the xb10 better due to the...

Would you say the xb10 is worth the double/triple price tag? Thanks Tom.

Thanks! might try and find somewhere i can have a play with one. I do have an exynos s8 but it's a UK model, which has the ridiculous EU volume limit on it. Even with that said it sounds quite muddy compared to the e17 too. Will play a little bit with adapt sound though see if that helps...

I do think that's probably it to be frank. You have just reminded me that my iPad Air 2 was bought in Hong Kong so is of course not subject to that regulation. Whilst that does remove the volume issue, it still doesn't sound remotely as good as the E17,

Hmm have you used the t10i with something like the e17? To me there is a huge difference between s8 output and that, with the s8 output it's also very quiet.

Exynos as I'm in the UK. Is the Snapdragon version equipped with a better DAC/amp?

Hi all, I've currently got a FiiO E17 that I use with my Galaxy S8 via USB with my RHA T10i IEMs (I know their sound profile isn't to everyone's taste but i find them very pleasant to listen to, way preferable to my Triple.Fi10s). I'm a little fed up of the extra wires and bulk that this...

hmm....what about if I up my budget a little bit? Above the S-018 and pistons, whats the next super bargain that can play with much bigger boys? I don't particularly want to feel like I miss the TF10s, which given they are so old and were only $250 brand new, it seems with newer tech something...

Hey guys!   How do you think the SoundSoul S-018 compared to the Xiaomi Piston 2s?   For reference, I'm coming from UE TF10s and need something inexpensive as one of the bass drivers has just died. Anyone that can make any kinda of comparison to the ancient TF10s would be a great basis for...

sent the impressions off yesterday....why am I now having thoughts about BA3 vs HY3,,,,does anyone have any thoughts about the two? I know it was compared to the HY3XB earlier but i'd be going for the standard HY3.   I'm fairly set on the HY3 now though.

Quote: I think it might be the angle, they went well past the 2nd curve. We did 3 sets to make sure they were right (my sister is the audilogist so that makes it cheap/easy  at least :D)   Will fire them over now.   Has anyone gone for the dual exit on the cable? What are the...
