I have had mine for a few months now. Really like the sound. LDAC improvement over SBC is VERY noticeable. I bought these for bicycling, but have been afraid to try them for that so far, as I am worried they will fall out of my ears. I may try attaching a lanyard of some sort for my initial...

Thanks for clarifying.

I am not an Apple expert, but Sony chose to ditch APTX and APTX-HD on these buds in favor of their home-grown codex: LDAC. LDAC sounds great IMHO, but leaves Apple users behind since Apple does not support LDAC. I think Apple users are better off with the XM3 and its support for APTX-HD. Why...

The small tips are pretty small. (I can't get a seal with the smalls. I can get a seal with the medium and large no problem. The problem I have (for now - I have had these for 1 day so far) is keeping the seal. With LDAC and a good seal I think they sound great for bluetooth buds (true...

Ok I am in the market for a 3rd pair of headphones. Currently I have OPPO PM3s and Sennheiser / Drop HD6XXs. I enjoy both but listen to the OPPOs mostly. I would like something with a bit wider / deeper soundstage. I have 2 listening areas: Upstairs / Family room Cambridge CXN (v1)...

I imagine Mr Clark has. Don't know if he is still monitoring the discussion. A gracious contributor is Dan Clark.

Thanks. Haris, for your insights. I wonder if anyone has been able to compare the CX with the Aeon 2s - especially the A2 Open. It would be great to have an opinion on the tradeoffs inherent in such a choice

Interesting that you say that about the sound stage. I find it to be basically non-existent on the HD6XXs. I experience a little wider stage with my PM3s (closed back)

I am considering these and the Aeon Flow 2. I am looking for a wider / deeper sound stage than I experience with my current cans (OPPO PM3, Sennheiser/Drop HD6xx). I would be willing to sacrifice a bit of width/depth for a bit better bass (I am not a bass head). I like revealing cans. I am...

I have two related questions. Both have been asked before separately, but if there were replies, I missed them: 1) Is their or will there be a firmware upgrade to the nano idsd to make it MQA compatible? 2) does ifi offer a trade-in program for upgrading to a nano iDSD Black Label? Thanks.

You are right about the drop in module, though it is not clear as to whether the module will be available in the future. As for the 24 bit Bluetooth, perhaps that technology needs a little time and more adopters to mature.

It is a shame.  Meanwhile the LG5  offers a drop-in module that features the 32bit Sabre ES9028C2M DAC.  The price has not been announced yet, but it is a little disappointing that you need to pay extra for this feature in an already expensive phone.  On the upside it streams 24-bit aptx out of...

Interesting.  In a  PhoneArena article on Lollipop support for DACs, They paired an AudioEngine D1 to several phones.  They found that it would not work with the Nexus 6 or  Sony Xperia Z3.  They surmised that the usb port on those phones did not provide enough power for the DAC.   They found...
