    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    I have 3 of the EC250 adapters, and all work fine with my Xperia Z, Z2, LG G2, and HTC One M9, so it should be fine if you get the Sony branded one.

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    You'll need an OMTP/CTIA adapter. Search for the Sony EC250 which can be had on eBay for <$5.

    External DAC/AMP flat sounding on HTC One M9

    I'm currently using Spotify Premium which I also use on my PC and on the extreme preset, and the headphone output through the phone is clean and sounds good. Will try some other apps for playback anyway and see if that makes a difference. Thanks

    External DAC/AMP flat sounding on HTC One M9

    Hi all, Recently tried pairing my dac/amp combo to my One M9 and everything sounds flat and powerless. It's an iBasso D2 Boa+ which has no issues when used with my PC. It isn't unlistenable, but overall very sloppy and need to crank the volume up a bit to get decent volume. Don't think it's...

    Broken headphone band.

    Thanks, don't think it'll be possible to attach something unfortunately. The plastic is quite flexible and easily snaps, and don't think I'll be able to get enough mounting pressure. I could possibly attach something to the earcups themselves, but that'll be a lot of trouble. Currently just...

    Broken headphone band.

    Hi all,    A while back, I had the headband of my Creative Aurvana Live 2 headphones snap right where the cup joins to the band. 3 weeks out of warranty also :(.    Anyway, I have tried just about everything to join them back, and the other side also cracked, so had to cut the cables, and...

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    Maybe it's just inconsistency in batches...I tried a pair of the MH1s and they had significantly less bass than my mh1c's-especially sub-bass.

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    Love the look of those but not a huge fan of the mh1s unfortunately, as they don't quite have enough bass for my tastes, prefer the mh1c.

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    Hi, currently own a pair of these and love them for casual listening, however I'm not certain of the longevity (I know a couple of people with dead sets), so I need to get my hands on a new pair. Anyone know somewhere that ships the MH1-c to Australia? I've seen a couple on alibaba, and...

    Vivotab note 8 - Horrible audio quality through external DAC

    This is a full windows 8.1 tablet so no access to that app unfortunately :(.

    Vivotab note 8 - Horrible audio quality through external DAC

    I've measured the current that the tablet outputs, coming at 0.44 amps when charging my phone through otg-the same output as my main PC, and it easily drives a portable HDD. The DAC when running at full volume on the PC draws 0.04A at the absolute max when measured, and that's why I'm a bit...

    Vivotab note 8 - Horrible audio quality through external DAC

    Hi all, I recently purchased an Asus windows 8.1 tablet and there is something seriously wrong. I have a Hifimediy Sabre USB DAC (here: http://hifimediy.com/sabre-dac-uae23 ) connected via an otg cable, and although sound plays through it, it's a complete muddy mess, with no detail in the highs...

    Creative Aurvana Live! 2

    Another option for cabling are these http://www.dx.com/p/gold-plating-3-5mm-female-to-2-5mm-male-audio-adapter-golden-silver-203414 They fit perfectly, are of great quality and you can use any 2/3pole 3.5mm cable with it.

    Creative Aurvana Live! 2

    I wasn't able to find much of a difference after burn in (around 50 hours), although the sub bass did tighten up a bit. These headphones respond very well to eq so perhaps give that a try.

    Review by 'donnot' on item 'Creative Aurvana Live! 2 Headset with 40mm Drivers and In-Line Mic'

    This is my first proper set of over ears, and I'm quite surprised! The bass is fast, punchy and has enough weight to satisfy the slight basshead in me. The treble is a bit laid back for me, and I found they needed a bit of EQ. Vocals are very smooth and the soundstage is great! They produce a...

    Creative Aurvana Live! 2

    So I'm not the only one thinking these are dark! These are my first pair of over ears and I was quite disappointed coming from my pair of Sony MH1c iem's as far as balance. It's definitely worth it once you factor in the huge soundstage though.  I thought I got a 'bad' pair but that's probably...

    System-wide EQ

    Yeah I was basically saying that the DAC was probably limiting me from using any software EQ.   Unfortunately had no luck with the programs you linked but thanks anyway.

    System-wide EQ

    Hi all,   I recently bought a pair of Creative Aurvana Live 2 headphones as my entry into the headphone market and was quite disappointed- a bit dark, lacking in upper mids and highs (I'm used to the balanced sound of my Sony MH1C iem's), but was able to fix this through the EQ in the AIMP...

    Budget USB DAC

    I'm no audiophile and from what I've read there isn't a major difference between async and sync so I've just gone with the normal version-seems to get good feedback everywhere!

    Budget USB DAC

    The E10 is a little out of my budget; around 80 in Australia, so I'm leaning towards the Hifimediy Sabre. It also has an optical out which will be very useful. Just not sure how it will go with my Sony MH1c's as far as amplification; will I need a separate amp? Only going to be using IEM's with...

    Budget USB DAC

    Just had a look at the hifimediy sabre and was wondering if it would be fine without an amp going with my MH1c's. I've heard mixed opinions on how powerful it is and that it sounds better amped.

    Budget USB DAC

    Hi all   I've just ordered a pair of sony MH1c's and I am looking for a half-decent DAC as my ultrabook's VIA audio isn't cutting it for me, even with my id america spark IEM's. My budget is $50, preferably including shipping and I live in Australia, which will probably limit my choices. Also...
