I meant get the Audeze Mobius from Amazon.

If you got the cash then I highly recommend it. Its really a freaky sound effect. It project sound behind you VERY well. When you swivel in your chair it sounds like there is a physical speaker 3 feet away behind you. Get it on amazon so if you don'tt like it you can always return it. But I do...

I prefer the air with the dongle. People complain about the dongle by itself being too echoey. I have never felt that way and double SXFI is even better to my ears. But I have hated normal headphones and having the sound image inside your skull so maybe I am more picky.

I would also suggest you try pairing the Amp with the Audeze Mobius for ultra-out-of-your-head sound experience.

I have both the dongle and the Air. I like the Air because its wireless. My only gripe is i wish the earpads were soft leather and not fabric. But the sound quality and build quality are both really good especially for the price. If you get the Air I would strongly suggest getting a BT...

then probably a defective unit. i would contact their customer support. they were really responsive for me.

Any chance u have the air connected to the amp creating double SXFI? I did that and the sound was too much. Once I took out the amp it was great.

Who knows. Maybe the other guys make their units so big to justify the price tag and house other inputs/outputs/features. But I have demoed the Amp against very expensive and large amps and there was no difference. IMO amps are mostly snake oil just like cables.

I don't know I have never tried them. I do know that the PXC550 easily gets distorted at higher volumes and they cost a little bit more than the 598. Why not take your amp to a hifi store and connect it to a high end headphone to see if the issue is with the amp or with your headphones. My guess...

could you the SXFI amp power the 598??? it can pretty much power anything except a pair of stax.

Might be your unit. I have cranked mine to 100 and never had any distortion unless I was using a low quality headphone. Certainly my LCD-4 did not have any distortion.

2D is ordinary stereo with sound image inside your head. 2.5D is sound in your head but with left/right/front/rear positioning. 3D is SXFI out of your head. Mobius is still inside your head like Dolby Atmos and THX Spatial and Husevi.

Superior 3D sound positioning. Mobius is still just 2.5D albeit with headtracking and magnetic planar.

Who said anything about losing?

Btw has anyone gotten the SXFI Airs? I just got mine. It works pretty well. Had some difficulty setting up the Bluetooth pairing and getting sound to play. The signal from my PC was not strong enough so had to get a Avantree BT transmitter. Sound is good although not as good as with my LCD-4z...

Mine sound the same. Maybe u have just gotten used to it? Try turning off SXFI for a while and then going back.

glad to hear it. how do you like sxfi for games?

really? so there are differences with each scan? do you think it has to do with each firmware update? i feel like the sound of the xfi changes over time and i was wondering maybe each firmware update was causing it. maybe you need a rescan to recalibrate the sound? or does the rescan change...

If u want it that bad just VPN for a different country and download it.

They apparently won Best of CES 2019 from 4 groups including AVS Forums and SoundGuys so that must mean they are pretty impressive. I wonder if they will come with the in-ear calibration instead of the ear mapping. That should make them sound even better.

i have found that the SXFI amp drains the battery on the iphone really fast and you cant charge while its connected. so im getting the air because the amp will be using the heaphone battery.

Is there a problem with the Apple iPhone release plans? There used to be mention of the iPhone app but this has been removed. Not a peep about iPhones in a long time. You would think this would be a priority.

This I do not understand. Stereo headphones are clearly artificial with their left right left right sound and the in-the-center-of-your-skull sound image, not to mention the comparable lack of depth and richness. Perhaps you are just accustomed to headphone sound vs a live show. If SXFI is...

btw i have found that configuring your PC to play in stereo mode yields the best out of your head sound. it may depend on how the sound is mixed but i have found stereo to yield the best results.

"enough" is relative. imo in traditional headphone speakers the ILD is too much and definitely unnatural. using the bohemian rhapsody intro as an example, there is no way a live show would sound like the way traditional headphones sound. the words are distinctly left ear and right ear. i...
