Oops, let me revise that. Noise canceling is different than encoding/compressing music for a smaller footprint for storage..like MP3, flac, ATRAC….. NC rejects/cancels the common mode noise in your environment.. Now this is crazy, I’ve read that Bluetooth actually compresses the already...

Excellent ANC is a must these days for me, helps keep the volume down.. Unfortunately all noise cancellation messes with the sound signature. It’s a battle between vendors DSP teams. Sony had an excellent white paper on their ATRAC’s frequency banding compression circuits and technical...

Wow, $192 right now, refurb in excellent condition at Amazon wear house..

Btw; this board is so hard to keep up on.. Fast and furious, rapid fire keyboard guys. Can’t read it all, so I’m sure I’ve missed my share. Keep it coming!!!

Sounds like a good (under $300) price.. There’s always the thing about repairs need to go back to Japan 💩

The only possible good news here, is that B&W will most likely deep discount the PX-8’s. Unfortunately this shows a company struggling and they will need to generate cash soon…. I’m a fan and have bought many of their products, speakers, headphones and the amazing zeppelin…

Per the Elegies, throw a little EQ at them and they can sound amazingly good.. I picked them up for around $320 from Audiorama in 2022. Seemed new in the retail Focal box, with 3 cables..

Referring to the ie600, 800 and 900. What’s Sennies secret sauce on manufacturing such amazing full range single units?? Is it just good old German know how and material science?? Even my single driver Sennheiser TWS Momentum’s 1, 2 and 3 all sound excellent.. 👍

👍 thanks for the pic, however I can’t stop staring at it! 😀. I dropped it to my photos..
