Anyone with any experience combining Shure true wireless with the 507?

No AptxHD or LDAC. Stick with a BTR5 (or BTR3K) with short balanced 2.5mm cable. Cheaper too.

Where did you get the short balanced cable?

Send him a private message though the forum and he will make & ship you one at a very reasonable cost (don’t recall it exactly sorry)

“Badge magnets” “name tag magnets”

Can I ask which version of the 507, international or European? Concerned about volume limiter/cap in the latter, perhaps I shouldn’t be.

 

[Pro-Jules]

Sony EU Volume cap doesn’t effect Bluetooth as the ‘amp’ is in the receiving device -so that can be made as loud as you want.

Shure true wireless

$229 and no Apt X HD or LDAC, no thanks.
Should be as simple as connecting regular BT headphones. Apt X HD or LDAC headphones have a 2nd setting of best sound possible where the software will then use the best sound possible.

FWIW, my experience since getting my ZX507 in mid-July, using 4.4mm out/high gain/high res streaming & direct source <On>/vol at 50-55, I use just over ~6% battery life per hour in normal usage (not constantly having the screen on).

EDIT: an important piece of info: I do not stream; only listen to ALAC files, ~90% 16-bit, 10% 24-bit

So I downloaded a number of high res flac files and the battery life is way better that way. Streaming seems to be what eats it up.

Yeah, the small 1500mAh battery is the real issue with Android. A DIY project with at least 3100mAh that would be amazing if we can find the same size battery.

WiFi and screen are typical killers of battery life. The Walkman Battery Saver app that's been mentioned in this thread has settings for killing WiFi, Bluetooth and auto sync on a timed basis, which may help when you forget to turn off those items.

will the ZX507 to be good to drive AKG N5005 on the 4.4mm?

I am think either zx507 or M11 pro.

yes — on 4.4 high gain (non eu model)
however if 3.5 mm output is used, earphones will lack proper sub-bass/bass. lower freq need more power.

Sensitivity116dB SPL/V@1kHz
Impedance18 ohm
