    FiiO 2023 New Product Schedule

    Hi, I have read a couple of conflicting comments around the net, so just to confirm, is the upcoming utws15 expected to have any bt chipset/codec/tech etc upgrades? I'm eyeing the newly released bt20xs because it has bluetooth 5.3, but I'd like to see if the utws15 will be worth the wait. I...

    How is the isolation? I am letting go of some vented iems just because I get fed up with low isolation and wind noise when outside

    Reply to review by 'IcarusIX' on item 'Douk Audio U5 mini balanced amplifier'

    @NymPHONOmaniac Hi, I am technically using a dac with a balanced output (it's fed by the 2.5mm balanced connection from my qudelix5k) . and the background is near enough to black if my surroundings aren't completely quiet (ie. street noise or pc noise means that a slight bit of a noise floor...

    Thanks for this review, I've been using this amp for a year or so and I've been enjoying it but would you say it's more worthwhile to upgrade the opamps or to upgrade the amp altogether? Also, I'm surprised you didnt run into noise issues, when I run this from a wall adaptor, I feel that I...

    CanJam London 2022 Impressions Thread (July 30-31, 2022)

    Thanks for the recommendations, I already tried the v16 and the ej07, both had some very nice qualities (v16 had one of the best bass I've personally heard in an item) but I also had some gripes (slight but noticeably blunted vocals and instruments on the v16 and slightly unengaging sound on the...

    ayy issa me I gotta point out a dark horse which not as many people paid attention to as I expected- the inear prophile8! I tried a few various iems and am still remembering this one vivdly, it gave me my first 'wow' moment in a while, and completely destroyed my negative presumptions about ba...

    Beyerdynamic DT 150: Bloody Brilliant!

    I got a pair of dt150s today, and within a few hours of having them I converted them to balanced in order to pump them full of juice from my desktop amp and my first impression.... where on earth did I read that somebody said that these have rolled off bass?? They are so much bassier than I...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    lil test fit from this morning relating to my comment just above. Im also contemplating fiddling with the driver to increase sub bass because I'm tired of eq-ing it. Also, quick question, have any of you had luck powering these things off something small and portable like the btr3/5/qudelix/ifi...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

    I tried leather brainwavz-xl and I tried to like it biut I ended up going back to the stock pads even though I the pads were used. more open sounding and more comfy surprisingly. I got the leather pads to stop my ears from touching the foam in front of the baffles (they lightly touch with the...

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Hi, I'm wondering how this endeavour of yours went? I have a qudelix and a k712 pro and I've been wondering if it's worth converting the k712 pro to balanced for more power to be usable on the qudelix

    The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")

    recently picked up a near brand new pair of MDR-1AM2s off ebay for a hundred bucks, they were smaller than I expected as it's not the type of comfortable where your ears don't touch anything but it's more that every bit of your ear is gently snuggled against everything in the cup, that took...

    I think it is as you say, definitely sounds smoother on other iems and headphones. One more thing, on those songs it wasnt too offputting but on a song called 'Rabba main toh mar gaya oye' by Pritam, the man's voice sounds pretty grainy and at the 60 second mark, everything sounds pretty...

    just got mine this morning in blue, just took it out of the box, plugged into my samsung s7 and stuffed em in my head and played some music and I'm pretty dang impressed. the first thing that stood out to me was the separation and also I was expecting bass when I followed the forum but... I...

    Need recommendation for BIG bass in-ear for my Oculus Quest 2

    those would be amazing too I think, only annoying thing about these sony big dd iems is that they need power and most likely eq for your tastes so just plugging into a quest/reverb g2/index or something will usually not be better than plugging in a more sensitive iem which also has no need for...

    Need recommendation for BIG bass in-ear for my Oculus Quest 2

    nice, fair enough, are those the ones that shake on your head? in this case, that would be really cool like haptic feedback almost

    Need recommendation for BIG bass in-ear for my Oculus Quest 2

    your MDR-XB90EX should be pretty capable of some good bass I would assume? perhaps you can use a dongle/amp to feed that huge dd some more power and throw a few db on the bass (from a vr user that uses a ex800st balanced from a dac amp)?

    Recommendations on amp for VR, HD6xx

    quest 2 sounds like it has usbc digital audio out now so you could perhaps use one of the usbc dongles that are around now or maybe a btr5/qudelix 5k balanced for more power

    This is cool to hear, mine are set to arrive this week, ordered last week of july, and after reading that I think I might want to try them with vr. I doubt they'll beat the spacious feeling of my ex800st or it's lifelike bass but I think it'll slot well next to it as a secondary set with an...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Yeah, as expected, not quite the same as with a more powerful source but for some music (like using youtube for music in the moment or some lofi) and for podcasts/youtube it's fine for me imo, but since im using a portable amp/dac, it's no more difficult to just carry that around anyways

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    I'll grab my balanced to se adapter this evening and try driving it out of a samsung galaxy s7 maybe? if that can run it then surely the lg v30 will. I suspect it'll run but not to it's fullest potential. most of the way though Im sure
