    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    Just posting for future searchers...I picked up some JVC Spiral Dots (size M - I usually wear the small stock tips, but stock medium fit fine). Really happy with them, even though the installation was a P.I.T.A. I think the main benefit (for me) comes from the fact the Spiral Dots are shorter...

    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    Awesome, thanks! Just installed V4A for this and will see if I like it or if I'm too far used to non-EQ now Nah, not yet for me.

    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    I listen to metal related music daily. I had the iSine 10 for about a year and a half and loved them. I only upgraded to the 20 because of a B Stock sale. It's been so long that I can't give you a comparison anymore but I don't think you'd go wrong with either one - especially if you can find...

    LG V30

    The Q7+ is $350 new, the G7 is $750. At least from T-Mobile (and I don't want to dick with G7 BOGO stuff). The Q7+ is smaller as well. But see my post on the previous page if you haven't already. Sounds like the Redditor I mentioned also returned the Q7+ and went with the more expensive G7...

    LG V30

    Swappa, Manuf. 10/17 so I'm scared about the screen quality but the seller was able to get me his receipt in case I want to try for a RMA. :grimacing:

    LG V30

    2 steps ahead of you, I got a V30 coming Tuesday. :) If I recall, there was only a DTS symbol on the box as far as audio goes. Yep..pretty weird. Oh well, lesson learned. Hope it helps someone else before they buy it.

    LG V30

    The Q7+ is supposed to have the "HiFi Quad DAC" but LG makes info on it VERY hard to find (I wonder why :thinking:). But the regular Q7 doesn't. Usually the Korean or other country websites will have a small ESS logo with the model number but zero mention of ESS/ES9218 for the Q7+ pages, just...

    LG V30

    I sold my V30 a little over a month ago so I can't do a direct comparison but I got the T-Mobile LG Q7+ a few days ago and plugged in my Audeze iSine 20, turned the HiFi toggle on and immediately thought "Hm...this doesn't sound like I remember". The overall tonality was darker and more...

    IEM for metal music and hard rock - ultimate solution

    For -core type, I've found my favorite to be the Audeze iSine 20 (or 10). I'll throw on 1more duals, with foam tips if I need more privacy in the office. But after reading up on Metal-Fi forums I'm waiting on the Periodic Audio Be to show up and hope they live up to the hype, for a better closed...

    Audeze iSINE 10 & iSINE 20: Audeze releases two new IEM planar magnetic earphones

    I use my iSINE 10 out of my V30 without EQ and listen to metalcore, deathcore, post hardcore and I absolutely love the sound. The 20's arrive next week. Compared to other IEM's, what really stands out to me are how much better cymbals sound. They sound fine out of my Pixel 2 dongle also. Just...

    Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread

      What is your source? Make sure you're getting a good seal. I prefer the included foam hybrid tips.

    Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread

    Of course. They don't sound the same as many other IEM's was my point. That's why I said typical Knowles sound.

    Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread

    In my opinion... If you are unhappy with typical Knowles balanced armature treble, and want more detail from a single dynamic driver IEM, these are the winner. I find the treble to be much more natural sounding...less..."crashy" or "loose" yet still plenty of detail. Pairing with an LG V20...

    ZTE AXON 7-America's First HiFi Mobile Audio & Dolby ATMOS

      Axon 7 doesn't activate the DAC on every application, last I looked (it may have been fixed since because I haven't stayed up to date on this device).   Someone on the Axon forums says the B29 update fixed it, and activating "Super Mode" works as intended. Otherwise, I think you can...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

      Don't forget to claim the B&O headphones, if you are able to (I think every one is at this point?). They're free so why not.   I've read Canadians can get the headphones from the stores they got the V20 at.   http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Coming from an Exynos S7 Edge, I find the V20 to be much cleaner/less congested. Instrument separation is better. L/R separation is more apparent and seems further apart if that makes sense. It's like the guitars that would usually be only on the left channel are DEFINITELY on the left now, and...

    Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread

      This is the number 1 reason I'm planning on sticking with Sony IEM's for a while. I've tried some others in various price ranges, up the 64Audio U8 and just can't stand that typical BA sound.   Going to the Sony IEM right after auditioning or being used to other IEM's will sound a bit odd...

    Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread

    Interested to hear what you think! I listen to a lot of fast paced metal so most IEM's get congested pretty quick. I am not sure if I want to try my luck with another dual driver. I love my A3, though.

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

      I ordered a cable from Null Audio and it has the lock mechanism. Unfortunately, I need to send it back because the sound cuts out if the cable is moved randomly (not knocking the quality, I'm sure it's just one of those unlucky times). I just got the cheapest one because I really just wanted...

    Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread

    Amazon.co.uk has the N3AP & N1AP up for pre-order for a Oct 10 release.   The Sony website says they're in stock at the Sony Centre but the website won't load for me. http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/in-ear-headphones/xba-n3ap/buy#online-retailers-inner  ...

    Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5

    I also find the stock cable annoying, and really wanted volume controls. So I ordered one from Null Audio for like $50. It's on the way to the US from Singapore so probably another week or so until I can get pictures and post my thoughts. I doubt there will be any audible difference to me, which...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Someone on here should try to demo a Perfect Seal PS6. I visited their lab one day and that was my favorite. I didn't optimize my sound settings, but with the same settings applied on their whole line up and my A3's, the bass out of the PS6 was far above anything else. I'd be interested to see...
