Mini-Review: digiZoid ZO "portable subwoofer"
Sep 20, 2011 at 10:29 AM Post #888 of 996
Indeed my friend. I inquired about it quite a few posts back. It's funny you mentioned the Trumpets, because I too found their synergy with the Zo not too shabby (though I personally prefer to listen to them without), but the Tributes, for my ears, were a bit overkill.

Has anyone tried pairing the ZO with the HD598?  I love the 598s but think they could use a little more love down in the sub bass area. 


Read the part where others claim the ZO 'shifts' everything based on the setting you select - I suspect you want a choc-top ice-cream that retains the best of the 'vanilla' you have with the 598s, but I fear you might end up with something closer to a coffee-flavoured ice-cream. Personally, I like all three, but there really is only one way to find out for sure.........

As I got these Panasonic RP-HTF600 headphones I noticed a funny thing. First I always keep my ZO charged to the wall socket with an USB power adapter (so it should be pretty much fully charged all the time) so I noticed the charging indicator won't even light up when plugging in the Panasonics and playing some music (I left them burning-in over the night + work) and the light wasn't showing up at all BUT as soon as I plug in my Sony XB500 even if I don't have any music playing, the charging light indicator lights up immediatly just by plugging in the headphone. O_o

Hummm.... I've never had that happen to me before. Then again, I don't keep mine plugged in all the time either! From a brief initial investigation, one thing I can think of that would cause this is the difference in output impedance between the two 'phones. However, that difference is very small (56 ohms - 40 ohms = 16 ohms). The other cause could be associated with your battery.
 
Paul is going to try and recreate your setup, and see if he can replicate the outcome. Until then, I wouldn't be too concerned.
 
Also, just a little tip... keeping your ZO charged all the time will shorten the battery's lifespan. Li-polymer batteries need to be cycled (i.e., let it fully drain, then charge back up) probably at least once a week to exercise the battery's cells.

I hope you aren't wondering where your V2 is - mine arrived this morning and I'm listening to it right now. I just assumed everyone else had theirs already ......  
 
I'm just putting together an unboxing vid for YouTube, but I'll give you some impressions as soon as thats done. Just wait patiently by your keyboard, OK ?

I told you - I have to finish the unboxing vid. Until then, I suggest you watch the 'Charlie Sheen Roast' for inspiration.
