Hi, Does anyone know if the JBL Endurance Run 2 “wired” is available in the UK. I can only see them on the US JBL site and they don’t ship to the UK. Cheers Kev

Cant wait to see the new Hidizs XO measured. I hope it measures as well or better than the S8. I want one just for the cool flashing lights to the music :) @amirm are you planning to test one of these. Cheers Kev

This year I have built up too many IEMs Panasonic RP-HJE120 (with ASR EQ applied) Moondrop blessing 2 JBL club pro+ TWS campfire Holocene. And after spending an hour this evening switching between them (level matched by ear) other than differences with tonality I can’t hear anything “better”...

I noticed that IEMs from AKG such as the N400 and some of their wired IEMs are not available in the UK. Anyone know why, is there some reason some of the AKG range is not available in the UK. Cheers Kev

Today I received a set of Panasonic RP-HJE120 from Amazon. Out of the box they sounded a bit naff to be honest. After I applied PEQ using my RME DAC from Amir's review of these, wow, what a change. They now sound actually really very good. Given these cost just £10 delivered from Amazon in the...

Looking for some guidance, I currently use both Dan Clark Drop X closed and AKG k371 with the RME ADI 2 DAC. The AKG k371 I used with Hidizs s8 when travelling. Im in lucky position to have some money to upgrade, and playing with the idea to replace both the Dan Clark’s and K371 with a single...

There are a lot of questions for recommendations for headphones for a specific Genre like classical, jazz etc. Are some headphones better for some genres or should a headphone that is neutral such as one following Harman target be a better option. I hear a lot of people saying Grado are great...

Hi, I’ve always been against wireless/Bluetooth headphones, I simply assumed they would have poor performance. No real reason beyond what I read online and assumption the compressing in Bluetooth would be audible. Last week I bought some JBL Club Pro+ TWS paired to my iPhone running Qobuz and I...

I have been using some Dan Clark Aeon Closed X connected to my RME ADI-2 DAC. I love the sound but wondering if it is worth upgrading to the Aeon Noire Closed, I do miss the open sound I have in Grado and Sennhieser HD660s, but prefer the tonality and comfort of the Aeon Closed X. Does the Aeon...

Hi, Today I took apart my Hidizs S9 Pro I no longer use, I couldn't find any other pictures of its internals so thought it wold be interesting to take a peak and share. The damage you can see on the board/components are due to getting into the solidly sealed unit. The PCB and soldering looks...

This week I received a TotalDAC USB cable/filter from a friend who was throwing it out. He was happy to let me have it to try out and take apart. I tested the TotalDAC USB cable/filter with a Chord Mojo (data only), Schiit Fula (data + Power) and a Hidizs S8 (power+Data). I had my eldest son...

Apologies first for the long post. I have been into audio since college, even though my dad always involved me in his music. I ignored my dads advice as a young man which was to build a separates system starting with the speakers. Instead when at college I bought a Technics Mini-system like all...

Hi, I’m looking to replace my Chord Mojo with something new. I use both optically out from my CD player and USB from MacBook running Qobuz. Headphones are Sennheiser HD660s and Grado SR325e. I’m looking at getting a Schiit Fulla E. Would this be a good option fo the above, or should I go for a...

Hi, Does anyone know what the headphone amplifier is used in the Hidizs s9 Pro. Also does anyone know of an internal photo of the S9 Pro. Cheers Kevin

I have started to build a collection of USB dongle DACs and USB DACs which I would like to blind AB test with my son switching the headphones between them without me knowing which is which. This is for fun but also to help me understand objective vs subjective by building my own experience. My...

Hi, I currently use Sennheiser HD660s which my wife bought me for Christmas last year. I think she went with that model assuming higher the number the better it is. I like the sound of the HD660s runnng of either my Mojo or more recently Hidizs S8, but there seems to be more favour on reviews...

Hi everyone, My headphone system I use as my desktop/home setup was the below fo a good few years. (MacBook + Qobuz)——low cost usb cable———-Chord Mojo——-Sennheiser HD660s I recently swapped out the Mojo to a Hidizs S8 and couldn’t tell the difference between the Mojo and S8, might slightly...
