Nice photo. How do they work with movies and are the earpads real leather and easily removed?
Synthetic leather, but very comfortable. I'm not sure about removing them, to be honest. But I know they're replaceable and from appearance, they look the normal ZMF style "fold over" style of replaceable pad. Not really used them much for movies, but they're excellent all-rounders. Very good detail retrieval and separation. 53mm driver in a small package.

Damn I'm tempted, I need really comfy light cans and these seem to fit the bill. Looks like they're easy to drive too. I bet it sounds good with the S1 :)

I can't speak highly enough about them, as subscribers to the WP900 thread know too well. Very easy to drive, I'm on about 65-75 on high gain. Perfect for the S1.

Finally my BT Shanling UP4 have arrived and I was comparing it against S1 today using Earsonics EM10 and oppo pm3 hp. Honestly I was surprised with the quality that UP4 is able to push over bluetooth. Biggest S1 advantage over UP4 is EQ presets, but UP4 wins easily in portability/power. My ears are not much trained, but with None EQ preset I can't spot the difference between UP4 and S1 from any of my hp and I really tried. Though using EQ as dental/near field it gives me intimate, but better sense of space around me. It seems that the future lies in wireless connection and I was able to test only AAC codec over BT as I'm stuck with iphone. No EMI/messing with cables and you are free to use your phone. I'm really going over the thought to sell S1. Though the EQ on S1 is nice. I was not fan of any EQ in the past, but S1 made me change my mind and If Lotoo would be able to release something like S1 with BT connectivity, preset/custom EQ availability, that would be a huge leap in the current portable dac/amp market.

I finally got my silicone cover, now I know what you all were referring to about the hi res stickers 😂

That cable storage compartment is my favorite part of this case.

LG V50 : movies and music are a treat with S1 and Blon BL-03 16 core copper cable 4.4 mm balanced.
Keep it simple ( thin wallet ). 👍 :xf_cool: :)

You have a combo there that sounds way above it's asking price, that's for sure :) loved the sound of the blons, just couldn't take the weight- my ears are sensitive.
