S-master like their Z-series MP3 players?
AT also has a few headphone models with built-in DACs if I recall correctly, I'll bet the future will bring headphones with built-in audio playback as the norm over having a headphone and then an external audio player connected to it.  Why hasn't Sansa put together a headphone with built-in Clip Zip or Clip+?  It could even be collab with another company if they don't mind as I know Sansa doesn't really do headphones.  It's not like it would end up all that bulky, and would probably be a hit.  The circuitry doesn't take up as much space as a pair of AAA batteries.

. That is right condidering the size of the Beyerdynamic A200p. They can as well build all in, why not indeed?

Thanks i have never needed to post before. Just read, until today, so made an acct earlier. Everyones such a,skeptic nowadays lol.thats what paypal escrow is for silly! But got a bunch of random things actually. Finished moving found all this stuff. Skeptics like you are why people like me get the best deals. "Too good to be true" you say and believe, or youre a sucker with a sore wallet whobgot conned recebtly. But I see someone who needs to sell something fast or doesnt care about maximizing return. Regardless! I dont need to educate you on sales techniques man, any more than explaining my savvy purchasing techniques, but thanks for the ignorant post. Reminds me to paste the invoice of the purchase so i dont deal with flamers who troll the net looking for stupid things to say. My time is $.

Anyone who is interested, as you see there is a 90 day warranty and if you read on amazon what that includes it includes any reason. So i am not pawning off garbage as the aforementioned troll would assume because trolls sell garbage. Honestly am not as interested in selling them as i am sending them back because its easier, and people wont try to steal or be dishonest. I simply love all things audio and am an altruist not a narcissist. So im willing to share the deal.net and use my time to help get these to someone who wouldnt otherwise be able to afford them. So pm me if you want it. Im a CORPORATE salesman at GE, and i manage\do pr for new musicians. 135 of your money and risking my reputation (as any buyer will know my identity because we have to creqte insurance selling thibgs via internet) is a silly concept and if everyone on here is just here to talk badly, thays fine ill send them back to the sucker who sold them to me and leverage a better tradeback using my time as the anchor. But yeah sound and look great, was told they were a christmas,return last year, are still factory new not refurbished. Just "used" as an open box item.

That being said. Im open to trades too, i need a new dac, and want a better amp for,my collection of headphones. Also im inyerested in More headphones, and anything Spdif. But i also realized i payed 130.so ill ship anywhere for 150 w/ 3 button cable included in that. I bought them because they sound great and the price was ridiculous with a 90 day no reason needed return policy. But been rockin wireless Sein's for a couple years that broke. So i should have booght the bt edition to start. Id keep them if i didnt have pairs very similar already. Although these are exceptionally sexy amd comfortable i must admt. Btw the amp and dac i need is for a set of Sein 650s i wear when i need something like samples in 32bit/384 that my artists send me that bluetooth doesnt support. Cheers! Btw everything on the table i would part with. Not specifically trying to sell,but if the offer is right and you could use it more than me, ill sell. Thanks! And keep it,cranked because my dad was a ent specialist who just retired and well have artificial implants more efficient than an actual eardrum within a decade the oldman was saying recently. Cochlear implants already exist, just not ones that will give us HD sound!!! In a decade well be able listen to stuf way below 20hz with future implants.

Best regards,

Michael

Btw i know it says refurbished but in the actual invoice it says used. And the person i talked to said they had not been refurbed. Either way doesnt matter to me as long as they jam which they do.

My full size cans consist of

Sennheiser Momentums and Amperiors
Shure 840s
Sony MDR1RBT

These are targeted at us portable people the clues in the reviews 8hrs batt life, great for trips. Out of all my headphones the sonys are the best ive had, right down to my Fav IEMs, the MDR EX1000s.

I bet these will sound pretty good, and would definitely be at the top of my list for sub 300 headphones if Cans were what I needed, and they are very comfy.

Might even sell the sennheisers for some...

Littleted, are you saying your Sony 1RBT sound better than the full-size Momentums?  I haven't heard the Momentums, but I just got my MDR-1RBTMK2 and as good as they are - and I've owned quite a few BT, RF and KLEER headphones (IEMs, on and over ear) - these Sony's are not quite as good as my open Sennheiser RS 180.  

I know this is not really a fair comparison as the Sony's are closed (and are better than the closed Sennheiser RS 170) and the Sennheisers are not Bluetooth, but they are also lossless wireless and are a few years old now, so I was hopeful that the new 1RBTMK2 with AptX on would be as good.

I have to admit though that that while I have used the same source material for the comparison (streaming the same songs at 320kbps) I have used different source devices, but I doubt it would have made that much of a difference with BT / wireless.

Having said that, the 1RBTMK2 are a great package overall, especially since I can't easily use the Sennheisers with my phone or on the go (they're hooked up to a TV), and I am having an awesome time listening to the MK2, but I would be surprised if they were better than the Momentums based on the comparisons I have read - especially, since you seem to have the MK1 model.

I agree that Sony do make great headphones at each price point at the moment.  In fact, I upgraded from the DR-BTN200, which are a fantastic combination of comfort, features (inc. NFC), build and sound quality for the price (at least here in Australia).  Heck, I still have my trusty old MDR-7506, even though I haven't listened to them in ages.

Actually, Sony have already done that with the MDR-1RBT, which has the s-master built in and they have a fairly slim profile for full-size cans.
 
The 1RBTMK2 version apparently takes that to the next level and is HRA capable, which (besides being marketing fluff) probably means that it can engage it's internal 24bit/192kHz DAC when used wired with a capable device over USB.  I haven't tested this yet as I got them for their Bluetooth + AptX capability, which I have to say sounds fantastic with some well-produced classical piano 16 bit/44.1 kHz FLACs.

Philips will follow next month with the Fidelio M2L, with lightning connector, for use with iPhone/ iPod, I don´t know if they will have one for the Android phones, both however are headphones to look forward to.

Active headphones are good, but I doubt it can touch anything with an external DAC.  Now, if somebody can invent a powerhouse with slim profile DAC...that would be just perfect

 

[LajostheHun]

This is a perfect companion to the Xperia Z3 phone, which has USB digital out[hi rez] and expandable storage. Cutting down on a number of devices to enjoy some quality music on the go is a real fact, as opposed to the extremely debatable conclusions of perceived differences among modern DACs.

True that, which makes me wonder since Z3 kitkat do support this device, and together with the slim circuitry DAC on the headphones, why couldn't Sony integrated this DAC and S-master into their Z3, which allows the uses of other headphones .
 
Speaking of the devil....my Z3 is broken, and I don't want to wait for 2-4 weeks transition to have it repaired....wonder how good Note 4 will sound like
