I was all against using smartphones for music, and using wireless headphones...

Well, lately I've been having some fun with these:



Honor 8 with Android 8 / EMUI 8
Hiby Music app
AKG Y45bt

You want to make your phone music sound better? I suggest a Radsone ES-100 of course you would have to probably go back to wired since the Bluetooth is working from the phone to the ES-100 but on the bright side you can go SE or balanced on your cable:grin: Probably one of my best purchases in this hobby to date of course YMMV:rolling_eyes:

That Radsone has great reviews indeed. But like you said, back to cables... It sure let's you handle your phone without anything attached to it, and balanced... That's a path I'm yet to step through...
My alternative to great sound on the phone it's still wired: the mighty Hidizs Sonata.

That would be the very sweet and clean Topping NX2 amp, was a big leap on the NX1 for it's shielding of outside interference :wink:

Thanks Podster. You just kept me from a purchasing mistake. I have had the NX1 in my Amazon cart for a while, on the fence about buying it. I think I will just up the dollars and get the NX2. Thanks

My pleasure, the reason I know it’s better is I own the NX1 too as well as the NX1s. The original 1 is a powerful amp but it had issues with rfi/emi which was corrected in the latter models. Good luck with whatever you choose.

My nx4DSD strapped to my phone case with velcro. I cant understand why people use those rubber bands when you can use velcro. Its nice and clean. Also i havent seen people with my colour scheme before, or with any colour scheme for that matter :/

Might post a pic with everything connected (phone + headphones) next week.

While mired in controversy, the Light Harmonic Stella is truly outstanding.
It possesses effortless, full-bodied neutrality, with top-tier staging. Stella is highly resolving, yet soothing all throughout the higher frequencies. With its colorless, accurate tone, and I can see Stella becoming a favorite for many audiophiles.
