Hmm my PR1 Pro is randomly fading, much softer and blur in output on both side asynchronously, dying? Tried on different wires and sources.... Barely a year

It's here in SG... No other Google mention though https://av1group.com.sg/products/hifiman-ananda-stealth-magnet-headphone?mc_cid=e93a9b9eeb&mc_eid=aadb937542

I was waiting for this before buying the Ananda wired. Had been using that with an Earstudio ES100. Anyone has had experience to share with both? Thanks

How about a folding yoke? See Dan Clarks' new Aeon 2.. I'm on the non-BT Ananda, and lugging that big case with the empty space where the yoke is uncomfortable.

Hmm weird. I'd connected to my Note 8 via otg, and the DAC works, but the Radsone app doesn't see it at all. Lol

Yup, in summary, but only if the headphones need it. On my Ananda I'm usually around -12db volume on 2x mode. This burns about 10-15% batt per hour on average. If it sounds like a vague answer it's because of many factors involved, so it's a bit qualitative. If the headphones don't suck power...

Hi hi, the whining sound comes from the Bluetooth chipset used in your headphones. It was prevalent in many headphones around the same age. Iirc it's because the BT channel stays open. One of my headphones had a firmware to fix it, so you see it's tied to the specific product. For transmitting...

:clap:

There's the new fiio btr5 coming soon. I'm also wishing someone would invent a TWS pair of 3.5mm inputs :D just like the ATH accessory

I'd posted a review by Audio46 earlier here. Ananda BT wires both drivers together, to allow the Bluetooth to work. And it therefore has a USB DAC. Don't think it has separated left right inputs anymore, like the Audeze gaming headset. It does have a very nice semi hard case though, which is...

Bought mine from them, 4 foot balanced cable 2.5mm. Singapore based. Less than 50 SGD. https://www.lazada.sg/shop/infinite-cables-company/ [Your shipping costs will of cos impact your final cost]

Thanks for correcting the LDAC receiver licence bit, hadn't known that. Samsung Note series 8 or 9 have the same codec decisions, not aptx hd. Try the Samsung forums. And yes need to enable the checkbox under the normal Bluetooth capabilities dialog. Sony has the same kind of checkbox for aptx...

LDAC and aptx joined the main open source Android release in version 8, meaning all Oreo phones and later. The badly named Developer options allow an Oreo user to check all their Bluetooth options. aptx hd and aac are optional but most just include them, except Samsung for aptx hd. Sony doesn't...

I'm using the Earstudio to power my Ananda lol. Using balanced with double voltage, which is the same as nonbalanced with double current actually. Extremely loud at -3db, but battery life drops to almost half the normal rate.

Using mini bluetootht dongle Earstudio. Are you asking about amp requirements? Sorry anyone? Is there a difference in the Neutrik cable?

Don't really need an amp, these are really sensitive like the box says. You'll likely EQ the bass up or treble down for non Sony phones. It's a good purchase!

Hi folks, have a newbie question... The neutrik cable that comes in the box, how is it different from the other 3.5mm + 6mm cable?

I'm using 2x current on the 3.5mm non-balanced with LDAC and 2x FFT oversampling, relatively new set. I think I'm getting 6 to 8 hours per charge driving a 16ohm 116db headphone on 50-65% analogue volume.

I do still have a white pair of ufo u2 :D, which still gives great separation of treble and bass (only on BT) but I have lost the taste for the bassy signature, vs the Vinyl Plus.

It's no planar though, so only if you get it cheap. Think the 70mm works well with the amp. I got mine used (almost new) about 60 USD. Trying to get a short audio cable that allows me to clip the ES on the side, but... Thinking about rainy issues.

Ha yes, I got them for the same reason. AFAIK only the totl Sony cans have a modern 70mm. Sound wise the Vinyl Plus has a strangely open feel, airy and wispy, but when the bass kicks in it is surprisingly hard. With the ES100 a lot of the resolution returns to songs and the airiness sounds quite...

Does anyone have the Vinyl Plus? Was thinking of replacing the earpads with something less warm :D I've been running them wired on the Earstudio ES100's... it sounds so good that I can't take them off until I faint from the heat ;p

Tried the Sundara and LCD2C closed on this, unbalanced 3.5mm, analogue volume on full +6db overdrive, 2x current mode. Both could go loud at about 80% phone volume Sundara and 60% on the Audeze. The Sundara is more to my preference. Anyone has experience with Aeon Flow closed? The Sundara makes...
