Headphones thread (show us yer cans)!

I also own the Pi8s and I completely agree with your assessment. One of the best sounding true wireless earbuds currently available.

In fairness, “bubbles” probably sounds good using a soup can and a string! :joy::joy::joy:

HiFiMan Arya Organics, planar magnetics, just arrived. Using my new (to me) Chord Mojo. What an amazing combo!
Deciding now whether or not I want to use the autoeq headphone curves or not…

For me, Headphones are related (almost always) to Holidays period, any moment of the Year.

On weekly commutee I drive a motorbike and I never want to be isolated from environment by my music.

For this type of listening (earphones) I am absolutely fan of RoonArc, also because the very beginning I experienced zero issues for connectivity. For me was a pleasant “plug and play” first approach.

I remember being on South France maybe weeks after was released, listening to some music at car with my cellphone and explaining my wife we were listening to our own files.

I jumped into a Fiio Olympus 2, a 2nd hand unit present from a friend and only 10 days ago I decided to go one step ahead and bought a Chord Electronics Mojo (Mk I) which really boost my volume level and I understand also my listening experience.

I must admit two things

  1. about the improvement I rely on the theoretical part (numbers and figures) as long as I have been not able to do anything else but test the unit :wink: I hope the practical experience will confirm that

  2. you can do worst pictures to show the set-up with the Sony SA-3000 I own, but this can be more dificult that to do a quality picture :slight_smile:

enjoy listening whatever you have!

PS: I love to see the signal path when listening… Part of it is not fully comprehensive for me, but makes me feel like I listen to the best possible…

EVERSOLO PLAY + Apple AirPod Max

I have been gifted both, and since the PLAY has no Bluetooth OUT, I would need a transmitter to send the signal from PLAY to AirPod Max.

Recommendations appreciated. Thank you.

I found this for you

That’s a pretty nice setup. That Ferrum stack is quite impressive and with very impressive sound as well. Enjoy!!

Setting the OOR to bypass using the rotary switch on the rear, then setting the wandla to analog volume mode and using the wandla to control volume. GREAT

A question for headphone devotees

How do you decide which pair to use , does it go in rotation, or based on music type.

I can understand different rooms but I have a simple set up of 1 amp and a mere 3 pairs and can’t stop myself swapping and changing. I decided a week about rotation but I rarely stick to it

just a thought

Genre
Mood
Length of listening
Room temperature

I just listen to one for months. Then suddenly realize it’s not the only headphone I have. Then switch and repeat the whole process.

When the wife is in the room I tend to choose my wireless headphones with ANC. Works wonderfully :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
