A few members here are proud owners of the P20 and I thought we should start a thread to let the rest know of this gem. As the title says, the LOXJIE P20 is a fully balanced, tube hybrid, headphone amplifier for under $100. And not just that, it measures extremely well. Have a look at over on...

I brought one of the M50xBT with Brainwavz angled sheepskin pads back for a friend in December. I think it's an awesome setup. Easily on the same level as the QC35/MDR-1000X with even more comfort and over $100 cheaper.

I like this response from Reddit the most:

As I see it there are 2 types of portable amps. With a battery. Pros:   - Doesn't drain your phone's battery as much   - More power   - Some could be used as a battery bank Cons:   - Another battery to remember to charge   - Larger + heavier   - If the battery eventually dies you probably have...

At first, I was confused with what you meant by 150/750 Ohms. Turns out the impedance changes when you enable ANC. Seeing as the PXC450 has a fairly high sensitivity of 108 dB SPL/mW, you can reach about 110dB with a dragonfly black (1.2V) with the ANC on (750 Ohm). See this useful calculator...

Not sure where but I know it's popular in cheaper custom car audio setups. If you have a local shop that does aftermarket car audio they will most probably have one.

It's called the Arc. $250 for O2 + ODAC level of performance with a mic jack. Or you could get a Blue  snowball ice for $50. https://mayflowerelectronics.com/arc-overview/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014PYGTUQ/ref=psdcmw_11974651_t1_B000EOPQ7E

It's called a ground loop. You can Google it and read up the details. Basically,  it's because your mic and headphones share the same ground but that ground comes from 2 different sources. Here are your options: 1. Plug both your mic and headphone into the same device. Think mayflower...

Everything on Tidal is 50% off in SA. Tidal HiFi = $10 Tidal Premuim = $5 The real deal is that on top of that you get an additional 50% off (essentially making it -75%) for family members. So for each additional member its: Tidal HiFi = $5 Tidal Premium = $2.5 I'm currently sharing with my...

Speaking of entry-level equipment, Schiit just announced the new Magni 3 amp. Very impressive specs for the price. 2W per channel RMS @32 Ohms is over 3 times what the O2 offers. Product page: http://www.schiit.com/products/magni-3 Nice post by Jason from Schiit...

Very good price. About $100 less than any other O2/ODAC combos (and this DAC is supposedly better than the ODAC)

At first, I thought, WHAT A RIPOFF! But then I realised its Aussie dollars. That's ~$59 00 real money. Bargain  :BWAHAHAH: Anyway posting here to let you know you can have a listen to the setup at Mitech in Midrand. You can read more here: https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,62186.0.html

There is a big misunderstanding under normal consumers on noise canceling. What they 99% of the time meant was closed back. Active noise cancellation like in Bose QC only really helps with a constant background hum sound like on an aeroplane. So unless you fly a lot, a decent closed back is the...

Feature wise nothing can really compete at the price point. That Headphone/Variable/Fixed switch is just awesome!

Must resist :sd:

Very sad. Will truly be missed!

Closed back there aren't too many options in ~$150-$350 range that I would consider an upgrade. At around $350 you can get QC35 or MDR-1000X. Slightly higher up are the Fostex + Massdrop stuff like the TH-X00 and E-MU Teak. Higher up you can get Audeze EL-8C, Mr. Speakers Aeon DT 1770. And way...

Had like 10 tabs open and did not make it. Next day is see that I had 2 on my account. Few days later after they sorted out everything and removed one. Very happy that I managed to join. Like the matt finish much more than the glossy HD 650. I used uSendHome to forward. Iirc was around $60...

$50 more than the original drop is a lot. And the 6 months waiting for shipping does not make it worth it. So glad that I made the first drop!

Good price! Way better than the almost 9k at places like takalot https://www.takealot.com/sennheiser-hd-600-wired-headphones/PLID29397453
