Apparently per this vid the Finns invented the overhead drying rack. This may or may not be BS but I'm enjoying learning about Scandinavian culture. This lady entertains me too. What notable inventions/innovations have come out of that part of the world?

So I just watched a review for the new hi senior mega5est bass iem. No I won't be buying at £500 but that's not my point. The review I watched the contents very clearly showed a TRS 3.5mm plug on the cable and a separate 3.5 to 4.4mm adapter like in this pic. How on earth is that meant to...

Ive had a pair of these for a couple of months. I got them as a refurb/ open box for around £250 and have used for a bit of casual gaming and music. For music I USB cable them to an Android phone running UAPP with some EQ. EQ is pretty minor and due to taste rather than a must have. I would...

We might see less reviews now ..... @amirm Joins Manchester United as Head Coach https://x.com/i/trending/1852339617552584881

It looks like Crinacle has moved his measurements and comparison tools away from a (partly) paywalled service to a free model- available here https://graph.hangout.audio/ Good news for anyone that wants to compare multiple actual 5128 measurements especially. Seems like for a lot of new models...

For the past week or two I have noticed that UAPP seems to lose control of the USB connected dongle if I stop playback for more than a few minutes. I suspect its related to the recent spate of app updates. Ive already given it unrestricted battery usage in settings. Anyone else having...

The "S" owners have a review thread to chirp away in but anything OG HD800 related can go here without disrupting things elsewhere. I know @Robbo99999 has a pair and is struggling to find an EQ that is just right, largely for the bass. To my mind these are not the 'phones to go for for tight...

So I have had a pair of these floating around the bottom of a drawer for quite a while. Found them in a bit of a tidy up so gave them a try with some fresh tips. I have had them several years and IIRC got them on an Amazon Warehouse bargain (well, compared to RRP anyway, not compared to modern...

Just taken delivery of these. Bottom line, lovely design and shape. Comfy though I find the cable ear hooks a bit heavy and stiff for my tastes (as with the Free DSP but YMMV) Nice case with it too. Sound great- Standard EQ profile works best for me so far but see issues regarding the...

Most interesting part of a recent Shenzhenaudio Moondrop mailshot. Assuming the app/ interface has a decent english translation and works (looking at you Tanchjim Android app!) might well be worth a punt- a viable alternative to the Qudelix for IEMs...

Tub thumpers that stand out. Or possibly cant hide. For better or worse. Go Thus far on my Saturday listening session I have had Bonzo, Ringo, Phil C, Jimmy Chamberlin, Stephen Perkins (amongst many others). No mistaking any of them. So I would love to hear suggestions for drummers (Dont care...

Very odd occurences. My preferred method of playing music is to ask an Alexa device to "Alexa-shuffle my Amazon music" which has until recently given a good shuffle across my whole (70k+ tracks/ 7k albums) amazon music library. (Usually this is on a Wiim mini by the way- not actually played...

So- I made the mistake of spring cleaning and re-organising my AV rack yesterday. Today whilst using the RME with some sensitive IEMs I had a noticeable (assume 60hz or thereabouts) hum. So I started doing some testing. Observations: 1. Touching the join between the device and the IEM jack...

Don't want to pay mojo prices but is this really the only (decent) battery powered dac/amp that will take optical input? For reference, I want to use a WIIM mini plus the mystery device as a set up at my office desk /home desk without the need for a power plug (I can run the wiim off a spare...

I'm not going to discuss the "sound" of these things but IEM are definitely an area where cables matter. I have recently found the "wrong" cable for an IEM can ruin the experience due to comfort/ fit issues. Likewise, tips. The wrong tips for one's own ears and indeed the design of an IEM can...

I got a pair of IEM with a nice cable, except that the angle of the heat shrink wrapped ear hook really doesn't work for my ears. (pretty much goes back on itself straight out of the connector) Before I start doing something silly, will a hairdryer on the heat shrink let me reshape it or just...

Well- I got these delivered this week. https://drop.com/buy/drop-etymotic-erx#overview I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. I prefer the fit to the ear mauling fit of the ER 2/3/4 range and they sound pretty good actually. Definitely could live with these without EQ. Enough bass to keep...

I play my whole Amazon music library on shuffle (on PC app) . I have noticed recently, more so than the last couple of years of use, that lots of tracks are coming up as "cannot find/ cannot play". I am aware Amazon, like all services, sometimes change versions of albums under the hood but I...

Solderdude has his huge "What headphones do you own?" thread and I know some post their IEMs in there too, but given we seem to be going IEM crazy at the moment I thought it might be useful to have a specific thread for them. Personally I am more interested in your favourites and stinkers than...
