Thanks for the advice, I'd always check first before messing with the stuff they have on display. I'm really looking forward to it, I'm reasonably technical so hopefully can hold my own in conversations with vendors, unfortunately for me it'll be the only opportunity I get to listen to some of...

I booked my ticket for Canjam London yesterday. It'll be my first time attending any headphone or HiFi show but I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing all of the amazing pieces of equipment that are way beyond my budget. When trialling headphones do they let you use your own source...

I'm pretty hyped after seeing the few teasers. I look forward to seeing pricing, release date and then review soon. If everything looks positive I'm definitely going to be adding the 109s to my collection. I love my 99 classics so the idea of having a more refined open back pair is very appealing

I checked on Chord's website this morning given that the day is here now. Their countdown now appears to be a countup with no additional information added yet

I didn't think that was the case but thought I'd double check. I started some music playing from the SD card using the 8Player Pro app on my phone and then put the phone in flight mode. The music continues to play uninterrupted. However, it didn't automatically play the next track in the album...

It depends what your music source is. I play mostly off the SD card when mobile and via Roon when at home. Playing via the SD means all the "hard work" is being done by Poly, I keep my phone locked and only unlock it to change albums which uses a negligible amount of battery

I had a similar issue with my Poly a while back when I upgraded my router to a Ubiquiti Dream Machine. The issue turned out to be that despite my router offering both 2.4 & 5Ghz on the same SSID the Poly wouldn't connect. I created a separate 2.4Ghz SSID and the Poly has connected to it...

1: As far as I know using Airplay always sends the audio via the phone, it doesn't work like SpotifyConnect where the player streams direct from Spotify and the phone is just a remote control. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. 2: There is a slight...

What are you using as a mic when gaming? Do you have a USB mic at the moment? If so it may be worth looking a bit higher up the schiit line if you can e.g. modius and magnius will serve you well for years to come (as long as upgradeitis doesn't strike too soon). If you use something like a mod...

Mine arrived today, I know a lot of people have already mentioned the small size in their reviews but that was the first thing that struck me, they're tiny little things and immensely comfortable. Sound signature wise these are exactly what I've been looking for, I listen mostly to bass music...

I tried looking back through the thread but couldn't find the original... Has there been news of an upcoming update?

Any of them is fine, if your headphones connect using AAC you may hear a very slight difference between an MP3 and AAC file, a FLAC file assuming CD-Quality or higher will get down converted to AAC when the audio is sent to the headphones

I guess that's the best way, just allow them to stretch for a while. I know it's a fairly common complaint with Sennheiser that they clamp a little too firmly

Welcome, I'm also from the UK I share my home town with Chord and Kef... Just wish I had the budget to kit myself out with their stuff. Are you new to the hobby?

Current Value - Dark Rain One of the heaviest amen tracks I've heard

I agree. For me personally the poly is a convenience product rather than a perfect product. I'm an iPhone user and understand the iPhone experience is a little better than for Android. As an iPhone user my FLAC library is natively playable from my phone, with poly I put it in roon mode when on...

Agreed, I love my 650s on my Vali2 and Mimby so I imagine you will be pleased

Yes! For me DnB was my first love and I'm definitely into it more than IDM. A few corkers to get the thread started Culture Shock - Protection. This is a very well engineered DnB track as is another one of his (not linked) that deserves a mention - Vice Chase LTJ Bukem - Cosmic Interlude, an...

Edit: Just tried again and it's working fine now Thanks

Yeah I'm doing it by the book and giving them both a full charge before using, as tempting as it is to have a listen I'll wait until tomorrow. They use lithium polymer (Li-Po) batteries, there's as much conflicting advice about conditioning them as there is about what's the "best" DAC. I'll just...

Excellent thanks, I know they're pretty specific on the power of chargers that should be used, I know I'm doing it right then

Just taken delivery of my Mojo/Poly bundle today, one thing that isn't clear in the manual is the charging LED, when P status and M status are both lit white that means both devices are being charged? Thanks

Thanks, yeah portability is the main thing for me, I'll be keeping the Mimby and Vali for my desk and using Mojo/Poly when moving around the house (on the sofa reading for example) and for when travelling.I work from home so spent 8/9 hours per day at my desk listening on that setup but the...

Hi all, Firstly, this thread is absolutely massive so I've not it all, I thought I'd try here and hope my post doesn't get lost in it before starting a new thread. I'm considering the gateway drug to Chord and looking a Mojo / Poly combo. This would be my first Chord product but I'm keen to...

Thanks for that, it's still a coin toss which option to go for in my head at the moment but that review definitely helps. I'd love it if I could hear them both side before making a decision. I'm pretty sure they will both blow my IQAudio DAC away.
