    Amp with variable loudness as peak limiter (?) + mids control for intelligibility. For use with headphones, mainly speech.

    Mini Review - New Fosi Audio N3 Bluetooth/Aux Compact Headphone Amplifier

    Fosi Audio recently sent me a fairly new product to try out, their N3 bluetooth receiver/headphone amp. It's a bit of a niche product but I was interested to review one after seeing the photos. It is currently available on "that auction site" for $60, but I don't see it yet on Fosi's main...

    Headphone's off balance after fixing TRS, how do I diagnose?

    Having a balance issue and feel I'm at a wall I recently broke my headphone plug and had to solder a new plug about a month ago. Then I broke it again last night just in normal use, the ground wires came loose, so I redid it much more secure. I also reflowed the L (Tip) connection while I was...

    Headphones or Speakers?

    Just what it says on the tin. I'm not trying to spark some monumental debate, just curious how you prefer to listen and why. I won't even get into vintage vs. modern, but you can. I prefer speakers because of space, air, eardrums, and such.

    headphone upgrade

    So I had a thought. was looking on e-bay and found a bunch of Pioneer se-205 and 305 for cheap. Then I found that I could also buy the drivers from a set of Sony WH-1000XM4 for around $10 per side. so $20ish plus shipping. Is this a dumb idea? Is it even doable? The Pioneer's have 45mm drivers...
