    How does the Warranty work in the US, legally speaking? Can a producer refuse to offer it?

    Hi guys. While preparing my new Comparison which finally extended to ALL Bluetooth Headphones on Earth (apart for the very cheap, very bad, irrelevant unknown models), for a total of something between 100 and 120 Headphones, which is kind of crazy but what's done is done, well, I had to import...

    Samsung Level Over: discontinued???

    Hi guys, I hope somebody here can help me out, because Samsung is being really horrible in this. None of their PR answer, their Customer Care is highly incompetent and quite unfriendly, and basically nobody knows (IF they bother answering) if the Samsung Level Over are discontinued or will be...

    Hello guys, I have just spent this night fulfilling my promise of launching the review of the SR5BT.   So. Before I inject caffeine in my veins to survive a day of work without sleep, I leave you this Discussion Thread. You find my Review HERE. These are really amazing balanced sounding...

    Urgent: basic but good Amp to avoid signal loss when connecting many 3.5 adapters to one 3.5 aux.

    Hi guys, I need your (urgent!) help. I am preparing the biggest side by side comparison of Bluetooth Headphones ever made. Almost 50 models. To make the comparison faster I want to use a chain of Avantree Priva II adapters. Each of them can connect two headphones which would play the same...

    Does anybody know the headphone on this picture?

    Hi,   as an expert on Bluetooth Headphones I was a bit disappointed for not knowing not even the brand of these headphones:   I must say, I am not 100% sure it is a BT headphone, it may have been wired and maybe he had it connected to a walkman on his pocket. But I saw him doing things on...

    Don't drive under the effect of chocolate (aka Sugar Blues).

    Yesterday I had some Caotina left, it is like a sort of Nesquick of better quality, with dark chocolate. But equally sweet. It was late and I had nothing left to eat, I had eaten quite early, in the afternoon, so I was hungry. I did not even had milk to use it with the Caotina. So I used a lot...

    Time to re-rip my CDs with better quality after MANY years. What's the best tool now?

    Hi guys,   While improving my setup I notice more and more the faults of the CD rips I did maaaaaaany years ago when there was not even the dream of a terabyte, and I was travelling a lot, so I had to rip my CDs (lot of) in mid rate Mp3. Now, besides ripping my CDs in max bitrate Mp3 with the...

    New Dirac DSP coming soon, similar to Sensaround. Definitive solution for room on headphones?

    Hi guys.   I have lately talked with someone at Dirac, as I had some questions about their Frequency and Impulse corrections as applied to the XTZ Headphone Divine (see my review, they are excellent BT headphones).   The discussion soon touched themes like crossfeed, binaural etc. He told...

    The Sheep Effect

    It sounds like the title of a movie and it may well be in the future, who knows.   It refers to the fact that (most) people tend to follow other people. There could be many possible example but I give you one: movies reviews. If it would be possible to have two groups of 10000 people each...

    Clean up your ears!

    Some will think "what has this to do with sound science?". Well, what do we use to hear the sound? Exactly...   I have noticed yesterday that I was hearing differently from each ear. So I have used the function "reverse stereo channel" and "stereo to mono" on Foobar, and I have realized...

    Myths and truths of "respecting the original sound".

    Dear Head-Fians,   I do not mean to start a polemic and unfriendly interchange of opinionated "I am better, you do not understand anything". But I think it may be nice to have a conversation about tweaking audio (EQ, DSP, VST, plugins, etc) and "respecting the original sound".   I open this...

    (shortcut) What does DIRAC really do?

    I just wanted to post a link to the thread I have opened in Computer Audio, because I think the subject applies to both sections and I would like to reach also the members who only check this section. To avoid double threads anyway, this is meant just as a notification/shortcut, but the...

    What does DIRAC really do?

    Hello guys.   Lately I was given a test unit of the XTZ Headphones Divine, and a license for the Windows version of Dirac, so that I could test and review them. Well, I am definitely impressed by how Dirac changes the sound of these headphones, which are good by themselves but become amazing...

    COMPARISON - XTZ Headphone Divine vs Parrot Zik 2: the battle of the Gods

    Hello dear Head-Fians, and guests who are avidly searching the internet for comparisons.   As you may know from my Thread, I am a fan of sound customization. I like to have good headphones which are true to the sound, but I also like to adapt the sound to my ears, tastes, and situation/music...

    Kicker: most unfriendly Support ever?

    Hello fellow Head-Fi'er.     I want to warn you about the careless attitude of this Company. Having found, finally, the perfect pair of headphones for me, the Audio Technica ATH-WS99BT, I only had one obstacle on my way to the musical happiness: the thin earpads which let my ears touch the...

    Feature Request: search users for headphones owned

    Hi, like the title says it pretty much all, I think that in the Forum the 90% of requests are about comparisons. People have very often question about "this or this?" It would be useful if they could search users for heaphones owned. So for eample you want to compare the ue9000 with the...

    Bug in the Review System

    Hi, I have found a sporadic bug: sometimes when I write a review there is almost no real relation between the value I assign to "Audio Quality, Comfort, Design, Value, Wireless Range" and how those values are visualized after that I publish the review. In my review of the Beats Studio Wireless...
