    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    Yup, I activated both LDAC and priority on sound quality. I just now remembered something and tried going into developer settings for my phone. Under "Bluetooth LDAC audio codec" I tried setting it to optimised for audio quality, and it seems to have made the situation slightly better, but...

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    It seems like the problem is on my end, then :sob: Again, not really sure how to describe the feeling I get, but it feels like the various instruments and the voice don't "stand out" as much as they used to. The new pair doesn't even have rubber on the sides, so they feel super slippery. I...

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    Just got a new replacement pair from Sony support after having battery problems for a couple of months. Has someone else been having audio problems with their new pair? Mine sound completely differen than my old ones. Even with the same eq, the sound feels "muddy", not really sure how to...

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    It also sounds like sometimes the ANC "pops" and deactivates for a split second. Not sure if this is a bug or just a problem with my pair. Guess I'll have to do more testing.

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    This may sound kinda silly, but I like to have it on in my window-side earpiece while I am on my car, so that I can still talk to the passenger/pilot while keeping the window open, since the noise from outside kinda bothers me 😅

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    May be a bit late to the party, but I just got my pair and I have to say that they are pretty good with some tweaking to the highs. Only gripe is that when you only put one in it automatically defaults to "ambient noise 10" instead of "noise cancelling" like the xm3s would, so I have to set...

    My monitor headphones broke, need a new pair

    Thanks again for the suggestion! Unfortunately those headphones are out of stock on Thomann and on Amazon they cost roughly 280€ with shipping and all but would also take 2 weeks to arrive(since it's an import I may also incur in import tax fees I think). Do you have any suggestion for another...

    My monitor headphones broke, need a new pair

    Thanks for the reply! I tried looking for them and easily found the 7506 for ~ 100€, the V6 are pretty hard to find even on ebay and come ~ 300, completely spending my budget. Regarding the opther pair for listening to music, is there anything specific you would suggest?

    Some questions about Schiit Jotunheim/other products

    I will most likely buy a multibit DAC if possible so there shouldn't be a problem with connections, I think XLR can wait for now. The NAD has minor scratches and some dents in the case so I don't think it's worth it at that price. I'll just wait and decide with time, firstly I'll buy a dac and...

    Some questions about Schiit Jotunheim/other products

    Holy hell, those prices! Anyway, I messed up, I was visiting the Emotiva page from my phone and I could only see those 3 or 4 products on the home which costed 1200 dollars and upward. As far as Schiit prices go, they are the same over here than they are over there, the site still lists them in...

    Some questions about Schiit Jotunheim/other products

    Which emotive would you suggest? I checked on their site and they all go from 1200$ upward, if I include shipping to Italy that would take me months to buy(not including inportations fees, which are crazy high. Also, I do have the space but not that much so no behemoths of an amp(I have uploaded...

    Some questions about Schiit Jotunheim/other products

    Thanks, I'll consider that whenever the time comes, for now I think I'll buy the jot and use it until I purchase a pair of passive speaker, then I'll lokk for other options, maybe considering other brands

    Some questions about Schiit Jotunheim/other products

    Thanks. At this point would I be better off buying a vidar+jotunheim or would you suggest just a vidar/ragnarock plus a standalone DAC?

    Some questions about Schiit Jotunheim/other products

    Hello everyone, I was considering buying a Schiit Jotunheim with the multibit module and wanted some delucidations: 1- Do you think the 100€ is worth the upgrade from the balanced DAC(100€) to the multibit DAC(200€) module for the Jot? 2- As I understand it the Jot is ok for me since I own...

    Some technical and shopping help for a newbie

    I tried checking the power connector on the sound card and it's as conncected as it can be(it almost seems glued in, I could not manage to unplug it even after trying with all my strength). I tried the drivers but the problem seems to persist but I also could not find the option to disable my...

    I'll look into those drivers and try installing them. Regarding the onboard audio, I don't really know, I assembled everything in my pc except for the audio card, which was mounted by my technician and has remained there since the beginning without any change in settings. If you don't mind me...

    Well, mostly for gaming and music, I think it's about 50/50. If you eventually manage to come to Lake Como give me a shout here on the forums and maybe I'll show you around Bellagio, that's where I work ;)
