How is battery life on the BX-2 Plus, in 3.5mm and 4.4mm?

Oh I agree. They punch way above their price range. Build indeed is a bit light, but technical performance is truly outstanding, especially imaging. Do let me know how they sound with the BX1.

Scheduled tomorrow night with a single malt

I haven't measured the BX2 Plus yet but the first one got about 7 hours. BX2 Plus might be less given it outputs more power. Not huge battery life but then I view it more as transportable than portable. I'll do a complete test over the weekend.

Damn, should have picked a pair up on prime day. They went down to AUD$160 (circa US$110).
Will keep an eye out for them again on Black friday.

The ATH-MSR7B is a good match for the BX-1. The AT being a tad bass-shy in essence, the BX-1 doesn't not add anything in that register, only clean power to shine through the DTR1. Honestly, I would have liked a bit more warmth and "oomph" in the lows (no @noplsestar, I won't get the HD8 ) Nothing serious, because this USD 200ish HP really is something in terms of sound, having all the base covered, with transparent and textured mids, controlled treble and yes, as @Nostoi said, superb imaging. I end this saying that the soundstage is realistic and natural.

...but the real surprise came from the earbuds Smabat ST-10S Gold. This is serious, I mean the bass and the open soundstage are inviting you to get up from your chair and rock the house. These earbuds are the bastards from clear/detailed IEM and bassy full-sized headphones. A V-shape SS? Not quite, because the mids are not scooped if you get the right fit, which is challenging to be honest, but highly rewarding at the end.

In both cases, the week-end starts on a "blue" note.

I love my BX2 Plus with the Romi Silver cable 4.4mm interconnect, paired with Hiby R8!

High-end combo with Denon...9200? How is the sound and what tunes are you rocking out from this nice setup?

 

[arijitroy2]

I listen to all genres of music, and these do sound great for all! The bass kicks hard and the soundtage is wide for a closed-back, which the BX2 plus also helps in further!

I might go for Diana V2 later in the year if I get a good deal and call it a day! I sold my desktop gear and want to focus on portable ones.

Oh! Selling desktop gears? You are taking the same route I took some months ago. Interesting. Do you also hear/get more of your music with your portable set-up? Why the Diana?

Let's pimp the thread with some "bedtime story song"

I was looking to get a BX2 Plus for my Diana V2 but unfortunately they don't sell them in black. I asked everyone
I am going for an all black themed build.

I hear ya, though I was able to order a quite nice black leather case with mine, which kinda renders it semi-black.

Where did you get this from?

Yep sold them already, hate being fixed to a spot for listening, wanted to move around and have more flexibility.

Diana V2 because it has gobs of detail and I dont want highly transparent signature, but rather warm neutral signature without losing the clariry and resolution.
