Pick a spot in the music file. Call that A. Pick another later spot in the file. Call that B. Play from spot A to spot B, repeatedly until stopped. About the only time I've ever used something like that is when trying to determine what the lyrics were. And that was pretty much before the...

The short answer is to keep the output power the same. Quick and dirty sorta scientific explanation… A general rule of thumb is that every 3db increase doubles the amount of power required. Actually the power needed is a function of frequency where the lower the frequency being boosted the...

I ordered a pair of these in purple for the reduced price and added a simple $10 TRN 2.5 balanced cable and KZ spiral eartips. They're on my cheap $20 RUIZU player for the next week to burn in. Can't wait to give them a listen along with all of the other IEMs I've blown cash on over the last...

+1 for EAC. I usually use my PowerBook for most things but really like how well EAC works. Follow the instructions on setting it up for flac including the link to the better choice of command line arguments to pass along to the flac encoder.

I'm guessing that the max capacity listed for any given player is a function of when it was released and when the specs were written. Many dirt cheap players say 32G limit but that's because bigger cards are typically formatted in something other than FAT32. I've successfully formatted up to...

Is there a current recommendation for an under $50 player?

https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/hidizs-ap80-pro.24577/reviews 2 of the reviews compare to pro to the non-pro versions

The balanced output, the 2.5mm ttrs jack, really helps tighten up the bass compared to the standard 3.5mm jack. More noticeable with harder to drive IEMs or actual headphones. The extra power available makes a difference. For mobile usage versus sitting in one place there's not too much of a...

I was reasonably happy with my Hidizs AP80 until I received the AP80 Pro which I enjoy more. But the non Pro version is a nice little player. If you want very inexpensive but still with Bluetooth and a metal case that resists pretty much anything you can do to it except drown it in Mountain Dew...

Actually the other way around. AGPTEK rebranded the Benjie. Regardless the pictures on the wiki are from a different version, with rounded edges. Mine is an earlier model with square edges. In fact initial reviews complain about the sharpness of the edges. But its been a tiny workhorse for me...

I'm looking to replace my Benjie T6 (I spilled on it and drowned the poor thing 😭) and I can't get thread searching to work. Are there any choices around $50? Alternatively how do I get the back cover off so I can see what damage I've done?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or that this is a promised feature that never materialized... I am unable to connect my AP80 Pro to my car via Bluetooth... The car scans and can see my phone but doesn't show the AP80 Pro... Other than simply turning on the Bluetooth on the Hidizs what...

Has anyone else gotten the FEN-2000 lately and can confirm this? I spent some time yesterday comparing the TRN V20 with the Yersen FEN-2000 and really prefer the FEN-2000. Enough that I was planning on getting a 2nd pair. Granted its under $25 with shipping but I'd hate to end up with bad IEMs...

Are you sure that you don't mean Bamboom Warriors? :smiling_imp:

Would anyone actually confuse the $50 KZ ZS6, even in green, with the $1000+ Andromeda? Is anyone selling the ZS6 for hundreds of dollars claiming its an Andromeda product? Is KZ anywhere in their product literature or advertising claiming or even hinting that they're the Andromeda? Since all 3...

I found that the sound of the ZS10 was extremely dependent on the fit and seal. You'll notice in both reviews the comments about the large size and blunt, lipless, shallow nozzle. I suspect that at least some of the differences in opinion as to their overall quality and sound is a function of...

Just got a deal email, $89 direct from Hidizs + free earphone. In case anyone is interested but didn't get in on the $100 Amazon deal. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-deals-discussion-thread-read-the-first-post.692119/page-1733#post-14227579

Hidizs AP60 MKII for $89,shipped from wherever they are located on the Pacific Rim. I'd guess China but could be wrong. For those not able to get the Amazon deal and it includes a pair of their EP03 earphones whatever they are. Good just for a week...

A poop emoji Bluetooth speaker. Quite the deal at any price but 40% off at $17 https://smile.amazon.com/JAMOJI-Chocolate-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B01N4U0GZU

I'm convinced that their business model is to be absolutely bare bones with any individual processing of their products. They get a pallet or whatever quantity container perhaps of a product. They then create the appropriate web pages to sell it at what they feel is a decent profit. When someone...

I'll second the suggestion for the VEClan ones if you want just a cheap cable. $5 for the cable, $3 for e-packet to USA. Obviously for the price you're not getting superior jacks or connecting wire. I have a number of these in various orientations. Warning they describe the adapters backwards to...

Not to be that guy but… Wouldn't it be quite possible that the-store-that-shall-not-be-named-nor-linked©®™ (tstsnbnnl for short :ksc75smile:) would be aware that being linked to them would hurt sales and so claim that they don't make the product even if they do? Personally, I'd be way more...

If you do that with the slightly smaller rounded tip end and fold a large silicone ear tip over it you'll have your very own Symbio ear tip.
