Hi I'm currently awaiting delivery of a Fiio BTR7 portable DAC/AMP to go with my Note 20 Ultra and a balanced headphone cable for my Sennheiser HD598sr headphones. I need some advice on how to get the most out of this combination when using the amp in USB mode. I think I'm aware of the...

Hi I'm an Android user. If I update my Apple Airpods Pro 2 using a borrowed Apple device will the additional features work when working with Android? I'm particularly interested in the adaptive ambient mode and possibly the talk to hear voice detection. Any help on this would be greatly...

Hi folks Anyone who's read my posts will know just how much I like the Sony WH1000XM2. My latest purchase was the Dekoni Pleather pads for them and it's made them even better. Anywayyyy - I've just updated the firmware on them through the Sony Connect app and, to my ears at least, there...

Hi I'm hoping some members on the forum have tried the Dekoni replacement pads for the WH1000XM2 (not XM3) Bluetooth headphones? Just some info upfront about how I currently use them. I mostly listen with active noise cancelling switch off. I love the sound character of the Sony's and...

Hi Hoping someone knows the answer to this - are the pads on the new WH1000XM3's compatible with the older XM2 models? If so does anyone know if Sony will make these available as a spare part? Really hoping someone could answer this - I've no intention of upgrading the headphones but it...

Hi Folks I've finally got round to reviewing these excellent noise cancelling headphones. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sony-wh1000xm2.22931/reviews I hope you find it useful.

Over the last few months I have been taking advantage of Amazon's excellent returns policy to try out some of the better Bluetooth headphones currently on the market. I am not blessed with earning a high wage so I feel that it's important that I maximise my hand earned cash as much as possible...

Sorry for the misleading title. I just had to share a recent discovery regarding the 1More Ibfree bluetooth headphones. I found the sound of these to be somewhat bass light and a little too strident in the top end when using the standard supplied tips. I was reluctant to mess around with eq...

Bluedio kindly sent me a pair of their Air ‘A’ Series bluetooth headphones for review free of charge.  Here’s what I think to them.   Packaging The packaging supplied with these headphones is simply superb. You really get the impression you are purchasing a high quality item with these. After...

First things first. These are inexpensive bluetooth earbuds. They retail on Amazon for just over 16 quid which makes them very good value for money.       Features wise they have pretty much the same features and facilities that can be found on pretty much all the other bluetooth earbuds...

Physical Characteristics   Puro very kindly sent me a pair of their excellent BT-5200 Bluetooth Headphones for review.  The headphones came supplied in really smart retail packaging which looks far more attractive than the ‘minimal’ packaging used by many known brands. The headphones come...

I have been an enthusiastic headphone user for many years now. I used to have a really nice British based hi fi system but unfortunately that had to go once the kids started happening. Ever since then I have used headphones for most of my listening as I feel it’s the only way I can get the...

AGPTEK Lossless MP3 Player Review https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0196GCGHI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Physical Properties. The player is made from aluminium and glass. It has a reassuring weight to it which give the impression of a well made quality product. It came...

MPOW are making some pretty impressive sounding inexpensive headphones - they’re focus appears to be on wireless bluetooth models and they are proving to be very popular. MPOW very kindly sent me a pair of their all metal, dual driver in ear monitors free of charge to review.   Background  ...

The Coulax CX04 bluetooth headphone is an around the neck type headset whose design is similar to Sony’s SBH-80. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages in this type of design. The advantages are that the earbuds themselves can be considerably smaller and lighter, battery life can be...

I have been a keen IEM user for many years now and have owned perhaps the top three IEM headphones - the Shure E500's, Etymotic ER4P's and the Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10's and out of all of them I definitely prefer the Triple Fi's over the others. Each model has a very distinctive personality...

I have been an avid headphone user for quite some time now - One of the first pairs of headphones I ever owned was the excellent Sennheiser HD400’s - to be honest I can’t even remember what I plugged them into. Early on I discovered the joys of in ear monitors (iem's) and have been the happy...

Hi there. I've bit posted for quite some time. I have become a professional lurker. Does anyone have the new Chromecast Audio device yet and, if so, could they comment on the sound quality please. I've tried several different 30 pin Bluetooth dongle thibgs on my Sony IPod dock system and...

Anything interesting happened whilst I was gone?

Hi I'm hopefully getting a ued 20gb Ipod (Windows version) in the next day or two. As far as I know there is already some music on the thing. I need to know how to connect it to my PC in a way which doesn't wipe the pod clean - i.e. is it a case of turning autosync off on Musicmatch? Should I...

Sony D-50 Discman I have been an avid portable stereo user for many years now - virtually since the introduction of the first Walkman tape players. I'm surprised that I have not damaged my hearing with all the headphone listening over the years. I have also gone through a fair share...

Hi Folks I already have the Etymotic ER4P and I love em! I'm currently using the Koss KSC-35's for portable use but I keep looking at the ER6's and thinking 'I would love the Ety sound in a portable environment'. I'm aware of the 'occlusion' effect they can have but I have found that...

Not really a strange question. Most people on this forum appear to have an assortment of formats - CD, MP3, MD, CD/MP3 and so forth. Since getting my Nomad Jukebox 3 I have sold my MD recorder - all my MD's and now listen exclusively to the Nomad. I honestly feel that this player covers...
