I use Focal Clear at home with Moon Audio Black Dragon cable. Out and about, I use Sony WH-1000XM3 with Moon Audio Silver Dragon Portable cable.

As in I am broke and you have many more phones to choose from. But I would probably always use just this one pair.

As the saying goes “Chose wisely grasshopper” :grin:

And I would say that you have chosen very wisely indeed.

Was a very positive review on the Darko Audio podcast last week. Both of them thought very highly of them.

I have the PX7 and if the PX8 are truly that much better as the price difference might indicate then they will be amazing.

Are the PX8’s any good Anthony?

I’m happy, there’s lots of reviews out there but I’ve enjoyed the B&W sounds for many years.

Like others, yes there’s a touch too much bass but a small change of EQ clears that up for my ears.

Plus, they look gorgeous, are incredibly comfortable and work very well with ARC when I’m out and about.

Are they for everyone? No of course not. But they suit my needs perfectly and if I’m going to spend that much money then I want something different to my Sundaras and Focals at home.

I just found this thread: I have been very pleased with my Sennheiser HD660S headphones, especially in the lower ranges.

(RAAT on a Cambridge Audio cxn v2 streaming DAC into a CA 851a integrated amp, with the headphones in that amp’s headphones jack.)

I know that the headphones are the Sennheiser HD820 (with a very nice cable upgrade) but which DAP is that and what app is it running?

FiiO M17 = FiiO M11 Plus + a cinder block :rofl:

But at least you never have to worry about battery life or ever having to go the gym.
