Before I buy the next Lightning OTC to USB-C cable for my DAC, I wanted to ask the experts here. Agvee is out of the question, since it's the last one I bought and it lasted less than two months. Out of Amazon's return period, but at least Agvee refunded me. But I know I will most likely find...

The Fiio A3 and A5 still show on their website, but they're nowhere to be found except hugely overpriced on eBay of course. I recently got an A3 and I love it, it's a great little device for just one function and it does it well. No bells and whistles, just plain 3.5mm input and output. I was...

I'm looking for something simple, small and light, in the old style of headphone amps, not a DAC, I already have the best DAC in the world which is the Qudelix 5K. This is just to complement the Qudelix, a simple headphone out from whatever I need to use to the amp via a 3.5mm male cable on both...

Looking for a smart watch that will allow me to go on long walks and bike rides. My wife has the Apple Watch Series 3, from 2017, and I paired my Soundcore Liberty 4 and they sound remarkably well, maybe not as good as when paired to my iPhone, but definitely much better than I thought...

I'm going crazy trying to find this with so many options and none being what I need. I just bought a Fiio K7 amp, and while it sounds pretty good (as long as the music has some custom EQ), it doesn't help me with what I need the most. HiRes audio, crazy 192 Khz sample rates are great, but I...

I've had the Audio Technica ATH-M50x for many years, and I love them. But I just bought a Fiio K7 amp and ATH-MSR7b headphones just to see what the whole balanced thing was about. Uncle Jeff told me it was fine, I could try them out and if I didn't like them just return them, he doesn't care...

I've had the JVC HA-RX700 for three years now, with almost daily usage, and they are great headphones, especially considering that I had paid less than $40 for them. But I always wondered how much better the more expensive model of the same series, the HA-RX900, would be. Recently I ordered them...

My favorite headphones of all the ones I had, including some more expensive, are the JVC HA-RX700. But I always wanted to know how much better the RX900 would be, so I ordered a pair and I just got them. I put a rock song that sounds very well in the RX700s and switched to the RX900s. I couldn't...

Hello, I apologize if this information is already here, but a search didn't come up with much regarding this specifically. I have a pair of JVC HA-RX900 on the way and I would like to know a couple of things:   1) What's the burn-in time to start using them at high volumes without blowing the...

I have an old iRiver MP3 player that sounds amazing, but it has 1 GB of storage and I don't like to go out carrying both my phone and that player, I would like to get a phone that sounds at least decent with my small Sony MDR-J20 headphones, which sound excellent with my iRiver player, but not...

Hi, I have the JVC HARX700, which I love, but I'm looking for headphones that sound like them but with a lot more bass, for $100 or less. I read that the JVC HARX900 have more bass but the sound quality is different and it has a lot more stage widening (I can't remember the exact term). Can the...

I see a lot of people here talking about the sound quality of the headphones, but I don't see a small list of CDs to be used as reference for better judging. Since the beginning of the 70s until now there have been  thousands of recordings that go from absolute perfection to absolute crap. There...

Many people here probably know about this plugin but I thought I'd post about it anyway for those who don't. It's called Studio Sound FX and it's free. The difference between listening to any music with and without it is drastic. It makes a big difference even if you just plug in the headphones...

I got these today after reading the many praises in this forum. Until now the best headphones I had had were Grado SR60, but those lasted only a few months before one of the cans broke and all I could hear was crackle. I don't know if the same will happen with these, my guess is not because I've...

I recently bought the JVC HA-RX500. I ended up returning them because the mids were too high for my taste. I kind of liked the effect for some music, but overall they sounded rather unnatural compared to all the headphones I ever heard and to my speakers. They had kind of a "cupped hands...
