But Noires are as big like E3?
Like, they are a bit silly for walking around?

Only silly if YOU can see them..
Yes, its a pity the higher end cans really do stick out like a sore thumb without using a winter time hood for walkabout.

Noires's cup is smaller than E3. Slightly bigger than bathys.

Shouldn't a Questyle CMA 18 protable with its quoted ‘>1W’ be at least 'enough'?

I'm still thinking about an around the house (=not in my listening room) solution.

A late reply but yes.

Are there any changes in sound when wearing glasses? Many closed-back headphones lose their seal and can become problematic. How does the E3 perform in this regard?

Thanks in advance.

A late reply but yes.

Well, actually it is in fact a tiny bit too late, as I just ordered a Fiio Q7 . But in the end, that probably doesn't matter, I am sure that I will be very happy with either one.

Oh, and thanks for constructing such a great headphone.

They are big enough to feel like an air traffic controller....so its more of whether about whether or not you care

Do share your listening impressions when you get it

I remember researching the Noires for OTG use, there is a promo shot with a mam outside somewhere , ha , it's only a glamour shot. . But seriously then, the Aeon Closed are the OTG model? or which one is? ,, on the go being as we are talking about, walking around town, commenting etc.

I'll do. But that'll take some time, as I have to wait for the XLR-to-4.4mm-adaptor which I ordered alongside the additional cable to use the E3 with the Q7. Estimated delivery time is three weeks, as both are made to order. So there's the next waiting game…

I don't consider any headphone for outdoors use without ANC. Better served with a Bose Quietcomfort or something similar.

Interesting. You don't belive in hi fidelity otg.. I suppose I imagine those moments where things can be quiet, my city is not as busy , and really, a bus quiet enough, and passive seals are rather good, that in those moments, a pair that possess Hugh fidelity qualities, will provide high satisfaction incidents of musical joy. And that the small effort was made to make it happen.. ha.. Sure right now I am on a bus with with IE600 and for the year the return on satisfaction that what I am listening to, the music has levels of detail more than BT.. And with excellent passive seals on headphones, I reckon that the experience will be the same as this. Detail, separation. Etc.

My comment refers exclusively to over ear headphones, since their passive isolation capacity -from my point of view- is insufficient to enjoy the details provided by audiophile-type headphones when using them outdoors; I prefer less able headphones with the noise floor lowered thanks to ANC. However, I have no experience with IEMs in noisy conditions.

Totally agree with this. If you have exceptional gear, you need to be in an environment that you can fully appreciate the quality. When you’re outside walking around, the Sony or Momentum are totally fine. I even find the Bathys too geeky to be outside with.

 

[Waddiewadkins]

FINE!

I understand what you're saying.
But you know they actually sell hi fi on the go ear gear
It all worth it for those many quiet moments. The satisfaction? Chefs kiss moments time on time return for the investment.

 

[Dragonmilenario]

I don't agree; it really depends on where you live or where you want to use it. In my case, I take long walks in places without too many people, like parks, forests, or near the beach. The passive isolation provided by a good pair of headphones is more than enough, and you don't need active noise cancellation (ANC). Obviously, in the city center or on a plane, ANC will be better. However, I can imagine many situations where a good passive closed-back headphone is more than sufficient.
