LH Labs Geek Out v2 Discussion Thread

[stuck limo]

Bought a 3.5 TRRS cable for my Andromeda. It works perfectly fine with my Sony ZX2, sounds really great if a bit dark for my taste (but I'm not going to complain). But then when I tried to pair it with my Go2Pro Infinity, something strange happened. Everything became extremely congested, music sounded as if they were traveling through a tube. There is no width at all, and I'm sure this is not the intended sound of the product. The single-ended 3.5 TRS works fine.

Anyone have any idea why?

Have you tried with any other headphones or earbuds/IEMs?

I run my HD650's through the balanced out and my other headphones through the SE. LH Labs still haven't gotten back to me (and I suspect they wont for a long time)

PM sent.

Hi, I haven't been able to try with headphones because I only have one MMCX - 3.5 TRRS cable but the same thing happened to my JVC FX-1100. I bought my Go2Pro in a retail store in Hong Kong just several weeks ago.

Interesting that there are existing retail stores selling them....

Strange. Have you contacted the shop to see what they say or to maybe get an exchange? Barring that, you could always send it in for repair, if you wanted.

Have you played with the gain settings?

Sony uses a different TRRS assignment then LH Labs does. If your cable is wired for connection to a Sony DAP it wouldn’t work on the GO.

I think the MDR1a came with a weird cable- AFAIK Sony ZX2 balanced uses the same hifiman/re-zero pinout as GOV2.

Hey guys, I got a GOv2+ from a friend. It had power button issue so he had broked the chassis to use the internal switch. I have been using it for a month now and suddenly it stopped working. It doesn't charge, the green led doesn't glow when connected to charger. Even after an hour of charging the device doesn't switch on. Any help please.

I've got a V2+ infinity. Can I control volume with the UAPP app from my Pixel 3A XL? I'm getting sound but can't figure out how to control volume. Thanks!

Phone volume buttons don't work? My phone's did last time I tried stacking v2+inf (though I use Neutron not UAPP... also the steps are pretty chunky so I fine tune with preamp slider).

IIRC there was a firmware update (2.1?) that let you use the gain and filter buttons for volume control instead of relying on source control, though hever tried it myself. Can try hunting around here for it: https://support.lhlabs.com/support/solutions or maybe shoot stuck limo a PM.
