I was deciding between the Bowers & Wilkins P7s and The PSB M4U 1s, and one of the biggest reasons why I went with the P7s was because of this. I kept hearing that the PSBs were heavy, bulky, looked pretty big on your head, and some people even reported their headaches while wearing them. I'm...

  OK, that's awesome! That opens up a lot more possibilities since I don't have to worry about which car stereos play FLAC (not many) and which ones don't.   Thanks for your help!

Question guys. Am I correct that if I plug the iBasso DX50 up to a car stereo through the AUX port (using a patch cable), that the car stereo will have to be able to play FLAC files (since that's all I have on my DX50) in order for everything to work?

  Well, you may actually be going crazy, lol, but as far as your analysis of the DX50 1.3.3 vs 1.3.5 firmwares, I agree 100% with what you have stated (and I am using a completely different setup than what you are). As you said, everyone's ears are different, but I seem to be hearing the exact...

  I agree with this as well. I believe I stated this a few posts back. I used IRR OFF, but when I switched the CPU frequency to 312, the highs just got too high for me and the midrange was too low. I really love SU 1.3.3 with IRR OFF, CPU frequency at Default, and FLAC.

  I agree 100%. I am perfectly comfortable with sticking with this firmware and these settings for the long haul. Messing with the CPU frequency and other settings just made things too bright for me, and I didn't like how everything sounded overall.

  That is what I am thinking. I am going to exchange it for a new one and see if I get the same results.   Thanks for the response!

I used the Rockbox utility to Rockbox my brand new SanDisk Sansa Clip+ and everything worked just fine. The problem that I am having is that I am getting extremely poor battery life and I have no idea why (even though I am fully charging the Clip+ and it is reading well over 15 hours of battery...

  Yeah, I have had the occasional skipping/stuttering of a track like olddude has stated, and I am using the same SanDisk card that you are. I tend to think it may be the SanDisk brand as well, as I have gone through 3 of their MicroSD cards in the past 2 years. I had one in my phone, and...

  So basically what you are saying is that even if I don't like the sound change with 1.3.3 and the fixed frequency, I can just change the frequency to default and it will sound exactly like 1.3.1? If so, then I may go ahead and install 1.3.3 to see what I think about it.   EDIT: One last...

What is the consensus/in what way does the newest Sound Unlocked firmware (1.3.3) change the DX50 sound signature? I would like to download the latest firmware for the battery savings, but if the firmware changes the sound signature too much, then I'd rather not. I am on 1.3.1 right now and I am...

  In the links below I posted that the August case on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/August-BAG650-Bluetooth-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B00J7N7CIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406107431&sr=8-1&keywords=august+case) work for the P7s with a little tweaking and if you are willing to push your headband...

    At one time I was looking at getting the JDS Labs C5, but I decided to get the C&C BH instead, and so far I have been very happy. I was wondering the exact same thing as you were (if the cost-to-performance ratio was worth the extra money for the C5), and from the research that I did, it...

  That did the trick and now everything is working as expected.   Thanks again for your help!

  What is the hold button? Is that the same as the lock button on the side under the power button? I will try this new firmware out and report back.   Thanks for your help!

I just installed Sound Unlocked based off of firmware 1.5.0. Is there any way to bypass the SQ select screen every time you boot up? I have my lock switch set to off, yet I am still getting this on every boot up. I have also done a factory reset as well, and that didn't work either.

  Yeah, the impressions on the leather is something that I have gotten as well, even after storing the headphones in a spacious case. None of them are anything major or large at all, but I did notice the impressions, and unfortunately I think it may something that is unavoidable. After goofing...

  Come one man, don't dog our home team like that, lol. Plenty of people jumped on the bandwagon when the Lions went 10-6 and made it to the playoffs. The people that try to talk bad about the Lions don't really know anything about the team. They always talk about how horrible our defense is...

I went ahead and bought the August case from Amazon, and it is just slightly too snug for my taste. If you are willing to push your headband adjustment all the way down and have to readjust it every time you put your headphones on, then this case may work fine. I am personally not willing to do...

  In my opinion, the SanDisk Ultra is the card that provides the best cost-to-performance ratio. I saw a Samsung card (and another brand I believe) that were faster, but they cost more and I just don't think the extra speed matters at all for playing music.   32GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSDHC Card...

  Thanks. I think I actually may have figured out what the issue was. I may still get an amp just to get better overall SQ. I have demo'ed the FiiO e12, and that has bass boost, but I didn't really care for the bass boost portion and I would prefer it come from the DAP/DAC or headphones. I will...

  That's what I had heard and that's what I had planned on buying an amp for, but some people on here said otherwise, so I decided not to buy one. I may get the FiiO e12 like I had originally planned and see how it works out.

  I had seriously considered that, and I actually posted a thread where I asked that question, but then I saw people who said that the DX50 didn't need amping, that amping was generally a waste of money, and that they had 300 ohm headphones that were driven just fine by the DX50, so I ended up...

    I have a pair of Bowers & Wilkins P7s which are known to have very good bass (some even say maybe a little too much). My problem is that I am just not feeling the strong and tight rumble with the iBasso DX50 1.50 firmware. Up to this point I have been using a smart phone with Poweramp...

Are there any stock-based firmwares that will allow me to manually boost the bass a decent amount? The EQ on the stock firmware just doesn't do much/isn't boosting enough for me. I do have Rockbox installed and I love the bass boost on that, but Rockbox (while very good) has it's quirks, and I...
