    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Thank you.  So the battery isn't soldered?  You can just change batteries on-the-go?

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Currently reading page 473 backwards.  But I'm wondering how easy to change batteries on this thing.  Google isn't helping.  Any insights?

    Search for the old models or just move on to the new ones?

    In any case, thank you for re-introducing the company.  I'll be saving up for either Studio 3rd or DX. They're a bit pricy and I'm unfamiliar with the house sound of both, and so far, I don't see one of both available in my country yet.  I'll keep an eye out for them.  For now, I think I'll...

    Search for the old models or just move on to the new ones?

    Oh, wow!  I have not looked for (and forgot about) HiSound Audio for a long while.  Rocoo didn't meet enough of my needs before so I didn't look more into the company.  Studio V 3rd Anniv sounds mighty pleasing and (so far from what I'm currently reading) Studio V as well.  But Anniversary...

    Search for the old models or just move on to the new ones?

    I lost my Cowon J3 with FIIO E17 and I feel very empty.  So I plan on rebuilding another humble gear to completely fill the void.  The question is whether to hunt for a used J3 or just move on to whatever is out there. Cowon J3 was perfect for my needs.  It can withstand abuse of tight jean...

    Headphone Sightings 2

    Quote: Same with me.  There are some IEMs out of the norm that I noticed but it just makes people feel weird if you come near them to scrutinize their ear (especially with my poor eyesight).  But I did see someone with a trotting silver horse on his IEM.  Probably a Ferrari.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    It was a pleasure to roam around a new city for a week with no beats on any human head/neck/leg seen.  Most I saw was Pioneer and Sony on-ears.  Then Audio Technicas from the ladies (AT seems to be more popular in this country since I see more of them than Beats, in public).  One night on a dark...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    Quote: Well it was quite offending for a first reply.  I'd probably change my mind a week later though... maybe.   "If you don't know REAL quality headphones leave me alone.  Educate yourself!  Go troll someone else!"   But again, I couldn't blame him.  I know how terrible...

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    Some headphone sellers on Craigslist are a bit grumpy.  In the end I do understand why, but still...   "Hello.  I'm interested on your cans but would be possible to ask for a bit lower price?" "blah blah"  Blah blah "blah blah"... "What's with the hostility?  I wasn't lowballing or...

    Can you paint Headphones?

    I'm thinking of doing this to my DT 770 as well but I don't know if it's safe for the plastic cups (I want the option to erase them in time).  I was thinking of nail polish as someone else did it.   Hope to get some input.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    Wow!  Sunday in Seoul seems to be Audio Technica day.  11 sightings of people wearing on-ear Audio Technica (yes, I started counting after the 3rd person I saw).  Also saw one with a Sony XB400 around his neck.  A suspicious looking Marley... looks like a Stir It Up.  And another one wearing...

    New AKG Headphones "By Tiësto"

    Quote: Nah.  Not you.  The guy who won't let anyone else talk.  Almost fanboyism... until his own copy broke... then the lies of "version 2".  Whatever.  I still have hopes for 267 and 67.

    New AKG Headphones "By Tiësto"

    Quote: Meh.  Even though other people made me curious about 167 I can't shake the annoying rave of someone about it, out of my head.  I'll be waiting for the 267.  Hope the price goes down just in time.

    Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones Part II

    On my break, my superior was playing some game with his phone.  I sneaked behind him and shoved my headphones on his ears (playing some songs he likes of course). "Waaaaaaah!" (English translaion: Wooooooow!) I raised my eyebrow and smirked.  Thinking, "Yes, feel the power of my headphone...

    Sennheiser Amperiors?

    When I auditioned Amperior and DT 1350 side by side, I used a J3 unamped with the same song.  I liked the DT 1350 for the time 'cause it gave me what I wanted that time.  Should I have wanted supraural, I would've chosen those because of the overall design and sound signature.  BUT there's one...
