Radsone EarStudio ES100

One of the best audio purchases I've ever made.

Yeah I have this one as well and it is really good.
I haven't tried it in balanced mode(2.5), but on single ended usage, battery lasted long. It claims 14 hours, I believe I got close to that.didn't check exactly how long it lasted.

A little update on my DZ12. They got my DZ12 done. I am sure it is going through QC process.

Sooper stoked!

I think I missed out to mention that there are lots of features on EarStudio ES100 like an app to control the settings. But for me stand out features were 2.5 mm balanced output and really awesome battery life on such a small and light device..
At least for me it was a happy ending for backing this Kickstarter project.

Yeah, in the ES100 the balanced output is a step up from the single ended one (I don't fin this to be the case with every device) and even balanced (mostly driving the HD569) the battery last for a eight hour workday for me.

It can also connect to two sources so that I can listen to music from my laptop and still answer calls on my phone.

Apart from the clip being slightly loose when attaching it to a polo shirt I'm having a hard time finding any flaws on it.

In another note. I recently got this adapter. Thought I would leave some thoughts about them.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Han...32857383226.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2WkbiU

So my first balanced 2.5mm to 3.5mm single ended adapter to use my balanced cables was Fiios L26 adapter which can be baught on Amazon

Fiios adapter is $13 and I suppose for the money they do the job. It will be relagated to burn in duties for new balanced cables for me but for a little more you can get the one I just bought which you guys can see is clearly a better made product. Why do these adapters matter? For guys that get cables it makes more sense to start buying cables in 2.5mm or 4.4mm balanced out vs buying single ended 3.5mm. These adapters allow you to use your balanced cables in singles ended mode which is still the standard on all music players not to mention being able to use on amps with singles ended. This applys of course if you own sources with balanced out, or plan to get a new player with balanced to take advantage of balanced.

I thought I would bring attention to this as I would have bought the previous one if that was available when I bought the Fiio one. The Fiio one does the job but is a bit flimsy and thin for my liking. The newer one from Lewis store on aliexpress I just got yesterday and is a thicker 8 core silver cord for a little bit more. Can't really tell if the SQ is better vs th Fiio but it is so much more sturdier made than the Fiios flimsy piece. Also Fiios adapter turned a shade of green on me so it has been steadily oxidizing. Still works great but you would figure they could have used some better material for the cord end of it.

by the way almost forgot, I also need an adapter, 3.5mm TRRS to 2.5mm TRRS to use with iFi xDSD, any advice for good price/quality ratio ? @Dsnuts I find one from fiio as well, on amazon and ali as well, but many reviewers state that if you move contact is not good and signal breaks

 

[superuser1]

I have this on the way. People with something like the iDSD BL and balanced cable definitely need this. i Have the fiio one too

ohhh yeeeeeeeeeees )))))))))))))))))

If you guys want to maximize your HK6. It cost a bit more but is comepletely worth it. There is a new silver cable on the Cheezy that maximizes the sonics on the HK6. Their included cable is actually a solid 8 core SPC cable and will not limit the sound on the HK6. It is just that with the silver cable. You get an even higher end sounding HK6. Just a tip. If you can do it. Highly recommended.
