You are such a tease Maurice. :wink: A man of restraint and integrity. :)
Do you know when Westone will announce this?
Doh! Just read it properly. June 24th.

Bollocks - I was using the no headphone jack situation as an excuse to justify buying those Audeze SINE HPs with Cypher cable.

That said, if the new iPhone comes with an HP jack then I'll be very happy. I'll probably still pick up a SINE though.

Eh - I just connect whatever iToy I have to my Mac and everything just syncs. Admittedly I don't do Hi-Res files as I feels that there's no point, especially for mobile use. Maybe that's your problem, having to use that awkward file transfer in iTunes to get FLACs across to a specific music app, in which case I can fully understand your frustrations.

Well, I certainly wish WiFi sync would work reliably. I've tried it with two different computers, using three different routers, and it stops working very quickly.

I've personally completely stopped adding music through iTunes and alternatively use Spotify and TIDAL, downloading offline files as well to listen in areas where wifi/cell service isn't available for near instant listening.

Tidal is awesome but there is no EQ. The "CapTune" app helps, but it has not "offline mode"

Ah. So that's why I cannot find my albums. Strangely one album only appears in CapTune and I assume it is playing offline???

It turned out to be a bluetooth cable. Protocol i don't believe in for the time being.

Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

If bluetooth is the way to overcome the removal of the headphone jack the i'd be sticking to my iPhone 6 for a looong time.

I was hoping for Audeza like applications (Cipher cable).


If the tonality it's not right, then nothing else really matters.

Another indication that the upcoming iPhone may be sans headphone jack.

I may be keeping my 6s Plus 2 or 3 years. I don't think even having 256GB storage is enough to get me to upgrade.
