Hi there Head-fi crowd. There’s only one way to connect some DAC‘s to Apple Products - Camera Connection Kit. For me it’s a corny solution due to the poor Quality of all those Adapters I found out there to buy. Do you know any better solution than those available at first sight? Is there anybody...

Recently a store around my place is having a demo clearance and I found these two IEMs. So I just wanna know how you guys think about them. Which should I go for? Or just stick with my current apple earbuds(which means the difference isn't that huge). Sennheiser always has this cheap build good...

I just, out of curiosity, plugger a pair of stock earpods (not to be confused with airpods) into my iphone. They had soundstage I'm not used to hearing on any bust the best of IEMs (though which rears its head on most decent earbuds), the tonal balance was a bit mid-centric, but still managed...

Apparently Apple are working on a wireless headphone, probably over-ear but I don't know really. I wonder if they will find some way of implementing something similiar to LDAC? Noise canceling is to be expected but apart from that we don't know much. I'd like to see some new functionality that...

This should be interesting... https://www.macrumors.com/2018/02/25/kgi-apple-over-ear-headphones/ Apple to have own-brand, high-end over-ear headphones with all-new design; to be as convenient as AirPods with better sound quality; shipments to begin 4Q18F at earliest; Primax & SZS will be the...

Hi! I have purchased an Aune X1s and I am eager to try it out. However, I do not know how to get my imac to recognize is. The previous owner sold it to me and sent me drivers for Windows computers only. Does anyone know how I should proceed? Thanks

https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/15/apple-flac-playback-4k-apple-tv-iphone-7-8-x/ Apple has apparently quietly added support for FLAC playback to some of its devices. Could this mean that we will see lossless music streaming in Apple Music?

Today I've received two pairs of IEMs ordered on Gearbest: I've bought them after the many good reviews read here on Head-Fi in relation to their very small price: - KZ ZS3 - KZ ZS5 Packaging The first impressions seeing the packages (both identical except for the number of the model) is been...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if, from a subjective point of view, the Echo Dot sounds better and gets louder than the speaker on the iPhone 6. I imagine that it does, but I wanted to make sure before I purchase one. Thank you.

Hello Awesome audio people, I am looking for best sounding IEM's Under $100 for work with situational awareness and no noise canceling. I must be able to hear my coworkers or supervisor that sits right behind me, should they need me. I listen to Pandora and Google Music on work PC. My music...

Hi!   I'm looking for some good full-size (closed) headphones that I could use whilst walking around in the noisy London and, at the same time, in the office.   Mobile Gear: - iPhone 5   Office Gear: - Macbook Pro Mid-2012   I mostly listen to: - Rock - Blues  - Symphonic metal -...

Just a quick question for you guys... does the iTunes "Sound Check" affect the sound quality at all, or does it just raise/lower the volume of tracks in the exact same manner the regular volume slider does? Or does it do some form of on-the-fly "brick-wall compression" as well? I like the...

PC to Mac: My Not-So-Genius Switch With the exception of a three-year love affair with Apple’s infamous Newton, I have been a Windows guy since switching to a PC from an Apple //e some 20+ years ago. Lately, with my Dell laptop’s CPU’s lonely single core becoming more and more of a...

I figured that as of tomorrow, we'll need this thread, so here it is. Can't wait to get mine.

I want to know because there is a calculator on one of the sponsors sites that calculates dB of headphones and it needs, efficiency of headphones, impedence of headphones and the voltage of the output, and I don't know the iPod's output (4th G. iPod btw).

So I've been spending months -- whenever I think of it -- ripping my entire CD collection onto my new BIG drives, with the idea being that it's done once and for all. I strarted ripping them through iTunes using the AAC 128 or 256 kbt format. I just upgraded DAP to an iTouch (2nd gen) and got...

First off, a MUST read.   While the ADDIEM fell under the radar for a while [being vastly underrated?], Apple discretely revised the build of the ADDIEMs , but may have also tuned the sound a bit differently. The ADDIEMs labeled MA850G/A are now ME186LL/A. Certainly the performance of the...

I finally convinced my daughter to get her Apple earbuds replaced by something decent (she's on a shriek-metal listen all-of-a-sudden and it sounds horrible) for under $100. That dollar level is in case they are lost, stolen, or wrecked.  Thankfully she listens at low volume levels but as we...

iPod Classic Firmware 1.1 WARNING Hi all Just updated my iPod classic to the 1.1 firmware, and was experiencing a lot of weird noise in my mini^3 when the power in the iPod was off. Took it down to the workbench and did some investigating. What I found was ~.5v of DC on the line out...

    The ME186FE revision A is Apple’s 2013/14 refresh of their in-ear “headphones” (canalphones) with the primary difference being the softer material used for the strain relief and the inclusion of the larger in-line remote control as found on their signature “earpod” earbuds. As with the...

New iphones are 16Gb, 64GB and 128 GB. No more 32 and the 64 is same price as last year's 32.

So, Westone just posted this new app of theirs that's supposed to offer a better quality audio experience on iOS devices. What do you think of these apps - do you use one, does it really matter, etc.? I haven't tested it yet, so I can't really say about this one.  ...

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/11/apple-headphone-speaker/   What some people may be missing is that APPLE, is designing and thinking of not ONLY doing this but also making a portable headphone. Apple's patents look close to nothing like final products so don't worry about the patent...

Was just thinking of getting a new iTouch, however with the launch of the iPad mini imminent, I was wondering if folk were looking at this too? I know I'm thinking about it...
