It is available again in UK. Just ordered.
Hopefully a tad better then my wired Airpods?

Is it ok to plug into my TV HEADPHONES OUTPUT or do I need a special TV DAC/Amp?

Yes, it's ok. Only the sound is a tad worse compare to a nice dedicated dac/amp though.

I recommend the Schiit Hel. Got one for my daughter for gaming to use with her Sennheiser pc38x. Plugged my Clear in just to see what it was all about. Fantastic little combo with more power than needed. Amazing little device.

Hi everyone,

Just got the clear mg (brown, not pro) and on basy tracks I can hear clipping in the right driver, but not on the left. Granted it has not yet done the burn-in (got it yesterday) however do you all think I should send it back asap? Or give it time for the burn-in? I can produce the clipping with two different amps (dark voice and jds element 2).


Thank you,

Just an update:

Got the replacement clear MG from the supplier (1st of July) and they do not clip at all, no wonder how much I open the volume! However I just can not shake the fact that these new pairs have a bit less base. UGH!

Maybe focal tuned them for a bit less base to avoid clipping? I do wonder.

It is ok, but I would look for an entry level dac/amp after a while. Even a 100 dollar one will give you a significant upgrade.

I had the schiit hel 2, and was very pleased with it. Only it had some stuttering issues. They are not sending new ones out before they fix that, so the wait might be very severe (months). Fulla 4 same thing. If you are not in a hurry though, it might be the most logical choice

Let them break in a bit. I'm sure the bass will render itself.

Portable like with battery?
Price tag?

 

[giuseppe75]

Portatile come con la batteria?
Cartellino del prezzo?

With battery , budget € 300

EarMen TR AMP is very good , also FiiO Q3 is great value for money if you have balanced cable.
And the iFi nano black idsd.

 

[Soundizer]

These?
