Yes, that's what I thought they were at first glance.

Bump. Price decrease.

I purchased these on Head-Fi in April of 2020. I have barely used them since purchase, which means they have been sitting in their original case for most of the time. I think I have to be honest with myself and recognize that I'm an open back guy :L3000: What you see in the pictures is what you...

Perhaps a shot in the dark... Has anyone tried the UTWS3 with the Final Audio e5000s? They need a good deal of power (Radsone ES100 does not get loud enough via 2.5mm but FiiO BTR5 has power to spare via 2.5mm). Thanks.

Thank you. I have heard that the controls are not the most responsive. Does your pair have problems with the touch controls?

Good to know. Bright is definitely not my thing.

Haha, oops! I was a little distracted at the time. Are these the Mavins you mentioned?: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Charging-Playtime/dp/B07XXV6BSZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Mavin+Air-XR&qid=1598230722&sr=8-1

Yeah, I know it's a big ask. I will look into the N400's. Thanks! Hey, thanks for such a great and detailed response. I haven't heard of the Mavin or Dayton. I've looked into the Soundcores and they look like they are too big and heavy (and not comfy) but perhaps I will try them out at some...

I'm looking for a recommendation for TWS. If anyone has heard the Final Audio E5000s and can recommend a TWS that gets to that sound as close as possible, I would really appreciate it. For anyone who is unfamiliar with their sound -- they have an enormous low end, lush mid-range and detailed...

Hey all! Can someone recommend some great tips that go along with the Fiil T1x's? I really love the Final Audio E series tips (because they really bring out the bass and tame the treble a bit), but I can't get the buds to charge in the case with those tips on. I'm in the US and I'm in between...

This happens to my ES100 when connected to my Windows 10 laptop, and so far it hasn't mattered what headphones I use. I have Sennheiser HD 58Xs (connected to 3.5mm), HD 598 CSs (connected to 3.5mm) and Final Audio E5000 iems (connected to 2.5mm). It happens to all three randomly and the only way...

Can anyone please explain why the BTR5 doesn't allow EQ with LDAC, while the ES100 does?

Thanks to both of you. I'll look into the Topping.

According the the ES100 product page, the power from each of the 2 jacks are: 3.5mm Unbalanced: 1.1Vp @ 16Ohm 2.5mm Balanced: 2.2 Vp @ 16Ohm I don't know what Vp stands for or how it compares to W or mW. Do you happen to know what the ES100's output is, measured in mW?

No, there's no difference regarding transmission. Transmission is dependent on the interface between the file system container (SD card, what-have-you) and the device RAM.

I'm thinking of using the es100 as a USB DAC and connecting it to a headphone amp (such as the Schiit Vali) to have more available power. I would imagine that I would just need a 3.5mm to RCA cable. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?

Thanks for the rec, but the main reason I'm looking for a single unit is because I don't want to deal with more wires at the moment. Cheers.

I just bought a set of 58Xs here on Head-Fi and I want to get a DAC/Amp to hook to my laptop. Things that I want: - USB input - Dial/wheel for volume control -- not buttons. - Ability to boost the bass (not a deal breaker). - On the smaller side because my desk is small (max width around 7"-...

In this case, it doesn't matter. The Fat32 filesystem cannot have files larger than 4GB but you'd be hard pressed to find a song file that exceeds that limit.

Can someone please recommend a USB DAC/Amp with microphone input under $200 USD that I can use with my laptop? My laptop is the Nitro 5 (if it matters). Thanks very much.

Really great write-up! Teenage love is a great analogy, and I feel exactly the same. Matter of fact, we're going on a date tonight.:ksc75smile:

Yep, I'm aware of the price.
