Im having issues with 0.78mm cables. Not sure if its becuase im using cables in the 20-30€ field, or just that chifi build quality is mid but im seeing a trend with the last 3 IEM´s i bought with surface 2 pin. Blessing 2, Soundrhyme SR 5 and ZiiGaat dos cinco. Basicaly the 2 pin just...

about more then a year ago Creative released the Aurvana trio which was a 2BA 1 DD Hybrid at 250 bucks. The thing is that while it did recieve good reviews, ssome people thought that 250 for a creative earphone was a bit too much. It was later reduced to 150 and then it just disappeared from...

hello, I was wondering if someone could recommend a good recabling service to have the cables on my RHA T20i replaced with MMCX sockets. Anyone you could recommend that has a history i can verify and basic pricing. thank you.

I own several fiio products M3K, X3 II, BTR5, LC-BT2, EH3NC. And they all have this little detail that drives me mad They use the same 2 buttons for volume and track control Short tap changes volume, long press changes track. But the buttons are the wrong way around Volume up which would...

The idea is when you use a dap or any sound source that uses digital format files you have a chain of events. File, Decoder, DAC, Amp, Head/earphones. But with True wireless headphones theres some confusion, or maybe im just dumb. You have the reproduction device which has the file and the...

First of all thank you for reading my thread, im sure theres enough of these Anyways, My current IEM´s are Trinity Audio Master 4 and Phantom Masters I also kick around some KZ ZS5 (v1) and ZS6 which i am finding way too sibilant lately... I mostly listen to female vocals, classic rock...

I was wondering since i picked up a pair of UE900S for cheap Theres the "classic" flagships, - Shure SE535 - Westone W3 and W4 - Ultimate ears TripleFi.10 and UE900 - Earsonics SM3/SM64 - Etymotic ER4 They have always been priced in the 250 to 400 dollar range but now we are seeing many...

A store has the UE900S at a heavy discount, i know that they were in the same tire as the Earsonics SM3 Westone W30 and the Shure SE535, but a lot of things have changed since 2014... Are they still worth it ?

---- Skip this part if you dont want sentimental garbage ---- The story starts like this... I started with a pair of chinese iems that were recommended to me, and suddently the music coming out of my Sony HD5 came a bit to life (consider this was 2005), and i wanted more and started to go up...

Well... Theres a lot of options today on the market, and lately in the IEM market hybrids have been the most popular choice. Now i dont know if its becuase they produce a better sound, or the signature is just better but you still have people on each side of the argument. You have the pure...

I was look at these lossless players,    Since my clip zip is doing some weird things (mostly hanging when a song finishes), and the newer clips seem to have dropped off a clif in quality (losing flac support, using some weird chinese SoC...)   I was looking at the Fiio M3 which people seem...

So..   The whole idea of a high end dap like a A&K or a FIIO x3/5/7 is that while normal daps do give out quite a decent and clean output, their amplification circuits are bad tending to meh.   And the higher end daps that support 24/96 and DSD and such provide a much better amplification...

My current set up is SM3v2 with Fiio cable (the original broke and the fiios were cheaper)   My current list of daps is   Cowon D20 (currently in use) Cowon D2 Clip+ Sasmsung Q3 (in pink none the less)   Im currently considering going a bit higher but spending around 200 bucks,   Im...

Monday morning theres going to be a press release from Logitech announcing a new Universal IEM.   It seems its going to replace the Triple.fi 10 pro as their flagship and is going to be based on the Ultimate ears reference monitor meaning that its going to have 3 way crossovers insted of 2...

My IE8 broke after 3 years of loyal service (stem broken, cant superglue it on).   Im currently looking at 2 top tier universals. the Audeo PFE232 and the EarSonics SM3v2.   The PFE232 costs me 500 euros delivered but comes with a free PFE022 which i can sell to take part of the cost...

A couple of months back my IE8 broke and while i see if i could RMA or repair them i ordered a pair of Phonak PFE 012.   Loved them, the IE8 are better on some areas. but the bass was just as good. the highs might have had the edge in the IE8, but the Phonaks just beat them over the head in...

Ok. the thing is, i cant find any place that will ship me a monster super tips sampler pack   this being the sampler pack ...

not sure if this is the right area of the forum for this, but heres a thorey of mine, probobly quite obious to most of you,   record sales will NEVER come back to what they use to be for a simple reason, you use to go buy an album, and you were forced to either choose from the single...

i was looking for some Ultimate ears sized tips for my IEM´s and i found tons of Super.fi 4´s in both normal and Vi versions for suspiciosly low prices, talking about 20-25 dollars with free shipping, but then you see the source, its mostly hong kong or china, and you know, all fake, but...

Well, theres a new kenwood media keg on the block, i still have my old 20GB one, and i hate it, MTP only or kenwood propietary software, mp3/wma/wav only support, around 20h battery life, and it hisses like a cat in heat, the new one is flash only, comes in 4gb, 8gb and 16gb flavours...

i was thinking about picking up a self powered firewire interface to replace my current Hot Audio straight DAC, i have a set of KRK Rokit 5 G2 monitors and the hot audio is quite basic plus it lacks hardware volume contols and advance features aswell as a headphone out and mic in, i was...

i´ve been taught a lesson in computer audio today, Isolate your power, About a month back, i bought a set of KRK rokit5 G2 speakers, i hook them up, they sound distorted, thats becuase the computer volume was high and the speaker volume was low, i balance it, and i start to notice white...
