Would you see the Focal Elex as an upgrade in comparison to the r70x? I had the R70x myself. I sold it a few months ago. Maybe I have to buy one in future again. I had HD58x, HD560S and TH-610 at the same time. The 58x was too veiled for me with too less clarity. For me the R70x is an improved...

Does the HEK Stealth sound better with a Hifiman amp like EF400 or EF600 than with Chifi Amps from SMSL (DO400)? The problem is: I need a remote, but would there be a noticeable difference or not?

Hello. I have 2 questions: - I read that ANC can't be switched off and EQ is only working with bluetooth. Is that correct or did Sennheiser improve these disadvantages? I think not. - Does it sound much, slightly or not better in the wired mode with USB-C? Can you hear any differences?

Hello. I've got some questions about the AKG K361 because it could be a very good second / mobile over the ear headphone. Maybe anyone can help: - Is it correct that there is no other headphones with this sound quality which is foldable, as easy to drive. closed and light weight? Are there...

Are 3 W @32 Ohm enough for the SE or does it sound better with more powerful amplifiers? Is it true that it sounds better with Class A amps like the Aune S17 Pro than with amps from Topping, Smsl, Fiio...?

I didn't read here since last year. Are the different volume steps still existing?

Do you recommend it? This one or a Smsl DO200 Pro + A70 Pro. Smsl DO400 doesn't have HDMI and is weaker but the A70 Pro seems to have lots of software bugs and it is no whole in one solution and the display is not completely dimmable. I don't know if hdmi has got lots of advantages over optical...

Yes it seems to be. So the only way is to try them out or at least to try one of them. Otherwise I spinn in circles and it makes no sense to repeat the same phrases all the time ;).

You are right. I have to describe it better. I didn't have much iems. I will use it for rock / metal. A neutral or a fun signature would be nice (Fostex / Edition XS). Both is fine. I liked the tonality of the Galaxy Buds + and Sony WF1000XM3. The only thing I have to avoid is a warm, veiled...

It seems to be that <500 € the IE600 is the best IEM? I am looking for a ChiFi alternative but there is nothing on the same level. I'd like to try the Timeless AE because of the improvements over the original but then I read it is muddier, veiled and with less clarity in comparison. Maybe the...

I read that the IE600 is on another level than the Quintet. So there are no smaller sized Chifi - IEMs which are equally good?

Hello, I am very interested in planar iems and have got some questions: - Would you choose 7Hz Timeless and Shuoer S12 or the AE / Pro - Version? Is it correct that the AE is muddier? And does both of them have a good seal with smaller ears or is Shuoer better because of the construction (the...

Actually I use the Edition XS and as an allrounder it works really well but even this cheaper headphone will show bad productions. I think objectively it destroys similar prized headphones. But maybe a different sound signature works better with rock / metal? So upgrading to the HEK Stealth or...

Is the performer 8 on stage with a ie600 or are they not comparable because of the different sound signature?

Does anyone of you know other dongles with independent volume control for iphones? These ones should be fine: Cayin Ru-6 / 7, Ifi Go Bar, Aune Yuki and Moondrop Dawn Pro. Do you know more?
