Hello. I have 2 questions: - I read that ANC can't be switched off and EQ is only working with bluetooth. Is that correct or did Sennheiser improve these disadvantages? I think not. - Does it sound much, slightly or not better in the wired mode with USB-C? Can you hear any differences?

Hello. I've got some questions about the AKG K361 because it could be a very good second / mobile over the ear headphone. Maybe anyone can help: - Is it correct that there is no other headphones with this sound quality which is foldable, as easy to drive. closed and light weight? Are there...

Are 3 W @32 Ohm enough for the SE or does it sound better with more powerful amplifiers? Is it true that it sounds better with Class A amps like the Aune S17 Pro than with amps from Topping, Smsl, Fiio...?

I didn't read here since last year. Are the different volume steps still existing?

Do you recommend it? This one or a Smsl DO200 Pro + A70 Pro. Smsl DO400 doesn't have HDMI and is weaker but the A70 Pro seems to have lots of software bugs and it is no whole in one solution and the display is not completely dimmable. I don't know if hdmi has got lots of advantages over optical...

Yes it seems to be. So the only way is to try them out or at least to try one of them. Otherwise I spinn in circles and it makes no sense to repeat the same phrases all the time ;).

You are right. I have to describe it better. I didn't have much iems. I will use it for rock / metal. A neutral or a fun signature would be nice (Fostex / Edition XS). Both is fine. I liked the tonality of the Galaxy Buds + and Sony WF1000XM3. The only thing I have to avoid is a warm, veiled...

It seems to be that <500 € the IE600 is the best IEM? I am looking for a ChiFi alternative but there is nothing on the same level. I'd like to try the Timeless AE because of the improvements over the original but then I read it is muddier, veiled and with less clarity in comparison. Maybe the...

I read that the IE600 is on another level than the Quintet. So there are no smaller sized Chifi - IEMs which are equally good?

Hello, I am very interested in planar iems and have got some questions: - Would you choose 7Hz Timeless and Shuoer S12 or the AE / Pro - Version? Is it correct that the AE is muddier? And does both of them have a good seal with smaller ears or is Shuoer better because of the construction (the...

Actually I use the Edition XS and as an allrounder it works really well but even this cheaper headphone will show bad productions. I think objectively it destroys similar prized headphones. But maybe a different sound signature works better with rock / metal? So upgrading to the HEK Stealth or...

Is the performer 8 on stage with a ie600 or are they not comparable because of the different sound signature?

Does anyone of you know other dongles with independent volume control for iphones? These ones should be fine: Cayin Ru-6 / 7, Ifi Go Bar, Aune Yuki and Moondrop Dawn Pro. Do you know more?

Thank you very much. That's a pitty. So it is not perfect for watching movies in dark rooms. I will try the Smsl DO400.

Is the Ie200 close to the Ie600 or is there a big difference? I also read that the cheaper one is harder to drive and it doesn't sound good directly from a smartphone. So better to start with the i600? Maybe another question although it is an over ear: Is the AKG K371 much worse than the i600...

I have got 2 quetions: - Some time ago i read about clicking noises even with the newest firmware. Is this actually a problem? - I read that the display always shows the source information althoug it is dimmed. Does this also happen in the Vu-display mode or is it dark in this mode? Could this...

Does a Topping DX9 improve the sound because of its power in comparison with the Smsl Do400 with the HEK Stealth? I think I will take the Smsl because it is stupid to pay the same price for the amp as for the headphone.

Is it true that the unbalanced Input offers the same volume as the balanced? Why? Not truly balanced? Is the Topping DX9 much better?

The same thing I recognized with the Smsl SH-9. Very weak for its specs.

Hello, I am also very interested in the H26 and I have got some questions. Maybe you can help. - Does the sound change a lot after warming up? - How long should you wait? 15 or 30 minutes? - Which DAC would you use? I need a dimmable display and don't want to spend too much money for the DAC...

I need a remote :-(. Maybe Conductor 3XP?

Does the HEK Stealth benefit from a stronger amp? I only ask because I can't decide between Smsl Do400 and Topping DX9 for the HEK Stealth which I want to buy. Does it mean the DX9 has got more than double the power (3000 vs 7080 mW @ 32 Ohm)? Is there no difference because the Hek is easier to...

Is a coloured dongle like the ru-6 better for the ie600 or a more neutral one like the moondrop dawn pro? And is the ie600 the best smaller sized iem?

So for the actual version a cooler for the summer would be good? And there are 32 volume steps which are the same size? Is that correct?

A Hek Stealth as an allrounder also for metal music? Or are cheaper headphones like a Emu Teak (maybe HE-6 v2) or another one better with this genre? I tried the XS and i think it was also very good for hard 'n heavy music.
