ZX100HN?

Why is it not listed here?

not 100% sure, but maybe because its not officially released in US, so doesnt appear on Sony US, only japan and malaysia i beleive

 

[sisi007]

Fidelio M2BT was the Nr.1. Unfortunately I could not find a store in Vienna where I could try them.
Pendulumic Tach T1 ferered by Smileyboy seems also interesting, but nowhere to get in EU.
I will just probably order the M2BT online.
I have a sony NWZ A25 and I am using Flac files.
Thank you for your help so far.
 
I can't wait to see the the BT headphones comparison.

@sisi007, the Comparison will need a few weeks more, 4 to 6. I am still waiting for the last units to be delivered to me.
My little apartment looks like a deposit of some headphones shop now...
There will be some surprises too, new releases, rarities, and two pre-release
 
Yeah, you should have Widerrufsrecht in Austria, I would definitely go for online.
 
The Tach are not Hi-Res as far as I know, but if you use normal Flac music I believe it should not make any difference if your headphone is Hi-Res or not, because your music is not Hi-Res.
Please anybody correct me if I am wrong, I am not very into Hi-Res.
And they have Dual Sharing (to share what they are playing with another Tach T1) but I do not read about Multipoint.
Anyway I am receiving the Tach from Pendulumic to test, and they are shipping them through their EU distributor, so I believe they are indeed available in EU or will be soon.
@dc8222, can you confirm about availability of Tach T1 in EU?
Sisi would probably like to try them and compare them with the M2BT. I remember you offer a Return Policy, right?
And, do they have Multipoint to be connected to two devices (Walkman and iPhone) at same time?
Can you also confirm if they support AAC (in case Sisi decides to start carrying just one device, the iPhone)?

 

[dc8222]

You can get T1 from Pendulumic's Netherlands and Swiss Disti
Check details from pendulumic website under the Resellers/Retailers.

Cheers~

@dc8222, thanks, right, so simple, forgot to check that.
 
Can you explain the Return/Refund Policy of Pendulumic, and if the T1 support AAC, Multipoint, and Hi-Res?

 

[dc8222]

The T1 uses latest chip which supports Advance Audio Coding. It also supprt multipoint but this feature is turn on for IOS APPLE only NOT andriod. Take note Multi Point are known to create long connectivity pairing

 

[dc8222]

T1 cannot support Hi Res..
As for Return Policy..is 14 days
Cheers~

 

[Giogio]

@dc8222, sounds good to me, 14 days is the standard, thanks.
 
So, the T1 support Aptx, which will be good for Android, Aptx Low Latency for those who wants to watch videos with them (people will still need the Low Latency Adapter for their TV or PC, like the Avantree, or yours which is OEM of Avantree).
It also supports AAC, which is good for iOS.
 
But I did not understand what you mean with multipoint only on iOS.
Multipoint means that a headphone can connect to two devices (for example, a notebook and a mobile phone, so people can receive calls from the phone while they listen music of watch film on the notebook).
As far as I know it is merely a matter of Bluetooth connection, so that it should make no difference if the device used is Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, or a BT Adapter.
If you can explain it would be good. I did not receive the T1 yet and there is no User Guide online yet.
 
Cheers!

<3 sweet. My heart is doing "tach-tach, tach-tach, tach-tach".
 
By the way, read here. It says "The two major sounds heard in the normal heart sound like “lub dub”. The “ lub” is the first heart sound, commonly termed S1".
S1 and T1, the sound of the heart...

My Tach T1 has opened up a bit since receiving them, much closer to my wired over the ear Momentum now. Nice little headphones. I am not sure what the reference to them not being hi-res?. They have a long playing time.

 

[Giogio]

I am not sure what the reference to them not being hi-res?

Hi-Res is the new format some music come in. Like, very high resolution (96k or whatever) and more bitrate (typically 24 vs the 16 of a CD).
It is supposed to give more detail. If this is true or not, it is still matter of debate.
But some Headphones already offer support for that.
Anyway, IF there really is a difference, it should only be when playing Hi-Res music.
So that (somebody correct me if I am wrong) a Hi-Res headphone would not play a "non-Hi-Res" music better than a normal headphone.
 
I personally do not care about Hi-Res because I have no Hi-Res music.

 

[slwiser]

Yep, the codec only allows for CD quality. That is good enough for me even though I can at times and with certain music think I can tell the difference. Where the differences noted have usually been in how much air or openness the track presents to me.

 

[sikki-six]

CD quality (44,100hz, 16 bit) is very good for human hearing, according to lots of studies. No worries there.

 

[mikaveli06]

Hi~res is 99% marketing term in my opinion. Not real difference in terms of actual use
