Mine was tight with stock pads. I cut mine yesterday. It doesn't look great but it takes the stress off the headphones. I figure it's better to modify a $40 case vs potentially damaging a $300 set of headphones. Cutting was easy with a sharp knife. I'm attaching a pic. It looks rough but it...

For those of you that might want a case for your Maxwells Audeze is running a ridiculous sale on an aluminum hard case. Normally $175 and sale price is $39 with free shipping. https://www.audeze.com/collections/accessories/products/aluminum-travel-case-for-lcd-5-and-crbn

How about a little love for the gamers out there? Maybe a Hip Dac with support for inline mic and UAC1 support? Or if I’m shooting for the stars the first DAC/AMP with a wireless dongle that gives low latency audio that works on consoles and PC. It could turn any high end headphone that has a...

I’ll take them.

Joshua Valour has a video out:

Does the AK HB1 support four pole inline mic in UAC1 mode? If so this would be a great device for PS5 gamers like myself.

GadgetryTech review of the Mm-100 dropped a couple hours ago:

DMS review of the MM-100 just dropped:

I tested the Gobar with my PS5 when I first got it and it works with a usbc cable. No mic passthrough though.

The in depth Canjam writeup on the front page had a mention of the M-100: “The MM-100 didn’t impress me much, they just sounded a little flat and boring, lacking dynamics and punch. The midrange wasn’t bad, but overall, I wasn’t hugely impressed by these”

Since these take a single 3.5mm cable on either side I’m assuming the Vmoda Boompro will work as a microphone solution? Anyone know of anything else? There is always the Modmic wireless as well.

I’ve had my Go Bar for about a month and I’m shocked by how good it sounds. I‘ve always been a Chord guy but took a chance based on all the positive reviews. I'm pairing it with a set of CK White Andros and it sounds fantastic. It's right up there with the Chord Mojo. The Mojo is a more...

Messaged a guy attending Axpona and he agreed to give a first impression of the M-100. “All I can say, being an owner of a LCD-X for several years now, wow. Ok, it’s no LCD-X, but it has enough of that bass texture and it is quite snappy. Couple that with a reduced weight and a $400 price tag...

A few reactions from a reddit thread today… “Heard them today, not for too long. Sounded pretty darn good for the price. Can't compare vs sundara or xs never heard those” “I got ears on today at an audio show. Very tempting, performed a lot better than I expected for the price point. Only had...

I’m in SoCal too and thought about going. Tickets are $140 so I’ll pass. I imagine it would be a cool show though. I interviewed with NAMM a couple decades ago and part of the process was touring their on-site museum. It was impressive.

Just got an announcement email that says they will be shipping in June. More interesting is they will be demoing today through Saturday at NAAM in Anaheim and this weekend at Axpona in Illinois. I hope someone manages to demo them and give some first impressions.

I’m super excited by these. I‘ve owned the Mobius, Penrose, LCD-2C and LCD-X. What I want is a LCD-X lite. Something not as heavy or expensive. I had the EL-8 open at one point and really liked those but it was really early in my audio journey. Something like those without the proprietary...

Fantastic seller. Answered all my questions and shipped very fast. Buy with confidence.

PM incoming.

Technically yes but there are issues. I used the BTR7 with my Polaris 2 and Sundaras. When I plugged the BTR 7 into my PS5 it dramatically lowered the power output so I didn't even try to drive any full size cans. I don't blame Fiio for this. Sony has some weird mojo going on. The same happened...

PM incoming.

Would I be able to use this with a PS5 and a gaming headset with 4 pole? Not a lot of dacs support UAC1 and this looks like a fantastic option if it works.

There is via UAC 1. Several dacs support it. I use a Schiit Fulla E that does. The original Mojo did not. I was just hoping the Mojo 2 would work without a HDMI splitter.

Would any of you that have a Mojo 2 and a PS5 test it and see if it works? I know the chances are slim as the Mojo 1 did not work. I’d just like to know for sure. Half of my headphone use is gaming so it’s important to me. It would be much appreciated.
