I would not put an iPhone and a W2 in your pocket. First of all, it will disconnect frequently and second, it will damage the connector. Best way to use the W2 is to attach it with Velcro on the back of your smartphone and carry the device in your hand. If you want to put your smartphone in your pocket, use a bluetooth option like UTWS3. That works very well even though the sound quality takes a hit due to bluetooth.
Why should it damage the connector more than for an Android Phone?
Please look at the pages before.
no worries, I had the same concerns before and was e.g. also wondering if both lightning/USB-connectors and headphone cable should better leave the pocket at the top (so that usually means phone is upside down and cable arrangement can get fussy depending on the type, angles and length of the connectors...)Thanks @FooFighter; so you think that is the best way to go so far? I was hoping there was something that would involve fewer pieces; but this is great to know this works well. Thanks so much for experimenting for the rest of us!
(Also I have used a different usb dac in my pocket daily for years; have never had any damage to a connector; I'm just conscientious about putting it in a pocket).
These headphones are a massive misfire by AT, been sitting in its box for 2 years, can't even sell them, they sound exactly how you describe the W2 and that turns the comments into compliments as L&P only create reference products, ive had a few including P6Pro, they will reveal and perform exactly to the level of your cans.Here's another frequency graph but from DIY Audio Heaven:
A little different, no?
But to revise my earlier statement about the SR9s being "neutral sounding", I confirm that (after extensive burn-in) SR9s are just a little brighter in treble than your average headphone but that just aids clarity and transparency.
Anyway, my complaint against the W2 wasn't about brightness but about its thin, antiseptic quality which the SR9s fully expose.
It is drawing close to 160mA from my iPad Pro.
You are connecting the W2 to an IPhone and when you raise the volume on the W2 over 85 it starts distorting due to lack of power via the USB port? Which IPhone model and what headphones are you using?
The amp. If I could find a good balanced amp with a similar form factor as S1/W1/W2 I’d go for it.Hmm. Whats the point using an external dac with V30 when the internal is very good?
Not on mine.. but I reckon it will be over time... That's just the nature of small connectors with the constant plugging and unplugging. I would use something like sugru to keep the connection sturdy if you only intend to stick to one connection.
thank you! it's worth checking out the new iPhones in the apple store.
did you use the apple camera kit with or without an external powerbank?
I wonder if the type C connector on the W2 gets damaged how difficult is to replace it.
