It's actually not heavy at all. The individual wires are pretty fine gauge and very supple. In fact, I'd say the cable is lighter/more flexible than the original cable. It is a little thick, but I don't mind it, and I appreciate the extra length. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the...

I've gotta confess that I do cables more for aesthetics and ergonomics, but I'd say they pair well together sonically. Perhaps it's placebo but they sound great together.

Just picked up the EA Eros Anniversary for my Rn6. It's like they designed this cable specifically for these IEMs...

I’ve noticed that same issue with my MacBook Pro. By default the wall adapter isn’t grounded and it only buzzes for me when it’s plugged in. Go off the battery alone and the buzzing goes away.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t notice the volume slider becoming active, but that did obviously make a difference. Even pushing the volume to 100% doesn’t really fix it. Ultimately I can’t stand the volume difference and will leave PEQ off and MQA on. Tune with ear tips instead…

I've been using my Q15 for quite a while (USB, iPhone) and have been pleased with it. But I just tried PEQ for the first time since they fixed that in firmware and I've got an issue that I'm not understanding. So, I need to turn off MQA, which I guess I understand. But enabling a custom preset...

Will this ever be released in 2-pin?

Yes, I hope the same. I’ve done a number of kilobuck IEMs in the past but this is my first in the stratosphere. I can’t speak to how it compares to your Sony, but in a vacuum the Q15 is really impressing me. With IEMs it’s on par with my K9, if that tells you anything. For me it’s an upgrade...

Starting off my 2024 with a big upgrade. Just picked up a universal pair of the Radon 6 and the new FiiO Q15. Loving them so far.

Anyone having issues connecting to an iPhone via USB? I’ve tried a number of cables, phone mode is on, and I’ve tried both USB modes. No luck. USB connection works to a Mac however.

Woudn’t DAC -> Amp stages be the same, only difference being how signal gets there? USB will have better quality data over BT, if you can notice a difference.

Lots of mixed feelings going on in this thread. I just ordered one last night. As a former Q5s owner, current BTR7 user, I’m eager to try it out. Hoping these bugs get worked out soon, though.

😂 Many of us were led astray by that guy.

Audio is the realization that my preference isn’t exactly truthful/neutral. I like a good U shape. Non audio is making mental health a priority. Growing up that just wasn’t a thing. “Cheer up.”

Just want to say hi for the first time to the Watercooler. I’ve been reading for a while now but never chimed in. My name is (not THE, but another) Jeff. Been in this hobby since before there were many options and I was into IEMs when I first started (very few options). Reading through this...

Hey Sennheiser, thanks for the opportunity. I'm a USA resident. If I had to choose only one album, it would be the score to God of War Ragnarok, by Bear McCreary. I don't mean to get sappy, but it's a meaningful choice to me. I suffer from severe depression and for those who don't know its...

What’s a good starting point with effect audio?

The BTR7 is the BTR5 successor, no?

Great condition amp. Ships from Ohio. Thanks for looking!

Absolutely flawless with all packaging. Got them for WFH but almost immediately started commuting, so they’re barely used.

Plans for that to sell in the US?
