I saw this pop up on my email feed today and I have to say, it looks pretty exciting.  I had not thought about the ability to build in a headphone amplifier to a speaker.  Does the speaker play while you are hooked up or does it automatically shut the speaker down?  Also, I see that they can be...

Sounds like a good news bad news. The good news is that the rebranding has been figured out, but the bad news is no updates. That is a shame because with the iPhone 7, I wanted to venture out to some stylish Bluetooth headphones. I was hoping these might be my choice when I saw the pop up at CES...

I probably should not have called it a review, it is more like a press release with a description of the product. Regardless, here it is : http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/9/8/12850268/astell-kerns-bluetooth-dac-headphones-wireless

gr8sound, thank you for starting this thread.  I saw the XB10 on a review today and immediately jumped over to Head-fi to get any impressions.  It looks pretty impressive for that price point and I am always looking for good portable gear for me son and I to trade.    I look forward to hearing...

Okay, I was about to pull the trigger on the NAD VISO HP50, but you have given me another good one to investigate. Thank you.

That is fantastic and will probably work for more than just Westone.

I have the Momentums and like them, are the Spirit Pros that much better? I probably have more IEMs than headphones, so I have been eying the Focal Sphear.

Did you keep the Evens or return them?

No problem, it is always good to hear comments from people who have actually sampled the gear instead of people who have "heard" from people who sampled it.  I think the marketing may be a bit gimmicky, but the idea of customizing a sound per your hearing is a pretty cool concept.  I think that...

Since I am in Florida and was no where near making this event, I appreciate the comments made by those who did attend. 

I saw this come up on one of my Google News feeds and spent some time reviewing their site.  They have a sound tuning app that resides on their site that is supposed to mimic what the earphones are supposed to do once you have it.      When you listen to it, it asks you to press a button when...

Is there technology limitation on electrostatic headphones using a 3.5MM jack or are you saying it is just not the standard way they are made?

Great review, in fact my college age son called me into his room to show me the post and offer to buy them (using my credit card, of course). Did you notice a huge difference after burn-in?

I do not normally post many new items I see, but I did find this one very interesting.  It is the Matryoshka Headphones Level X3, which is coming to Kickstarter and looks to be a combination of IEM, Headphone and Speaker, all rolled into one.      While I like the ingenuity, I am thinking...

That is an outstanding idea.....if it works. So I am asking, did it work for you? I bought my UM3X and it failed within eight months of my Wstone 3 Gold failing. Westone will not repair or warranty a 3 year old product, so I am interested to see if your remedy works.

I am not hear to bash anyone, but I would like some advice, here is my story:   I have to tell you, up until this point, I would have disagreed with you all about Westone customer service, I have always found their support and warranty to be nothing less than spectacular.  That is until...

I ordered my Turbo X back in early March and received it promptly via Amazon Prime. I waited until my actual birthday to open it and play it and playing it plugged in it sounded wonderful. There was a problem, though, it would not play unplugged. I kept thinking that it was operator error, so I...

That sounds fantastic and yes, at that price, with both Bluetooth and noise canceling sounds like a bargain. And no, I did not see anything on Head-Fi, but I did see them on CNET: http://www.cnet.com/au/products/samsung-level-u-pro/ And here at a UK site...

Okay, I just saw a reference to them on line and liked the review.  I was hoping for some more information, much like you.  In the reviews on Amazon, I saw the one glaring review that said it works well with his Samsung phone but others may not find the same thing.  His review was definitely one...

I may be a little late to the party, but I have enjoyed the budget models of both V-Moda and Klipsch, and I often buy these for my non-audiophile friends as a way of introducing them to the iem world.  While I have some more expensive Westone models (both UM3X and W30) and they are much more...

Yes, I saw that too. $39 is a terrific price point for even mediocre iems.

Moedawg140: I called Riva Audio customer service today and found that their fulfillment is done by Amazon, so I ordered my Turbo X through Amazon and the allowed me free Prime shipping. While they may have a 90 day return policy, my hope is that I never need it. Interestingly, Amazon showed...
