    Samsung Buds FE vs Buds 2 / 2 Pro

    Only features missing are seamless device switching for incoming calls, 360⁰ audio, and SSC codec, Samsung's lossless codec. Correct me if wrong. Lossless codec is a gimmick, majority will fail to notice any difference. I use mine with pixel and tab s8. There's no such difference in user...

    Budget Above 40k Pixel 7 or S22?

    I'm typing this reply on Pixel 7 rn. I kind of blind-purchased Pixel 7 as I got fed up with iPhone 11. For last 2 weeks, it's been my constant companion. One thing I can say, it's smooth phone, in fact a very smooth one. No OS hiccups, lags, jitter till now. I never thought Android could be...

    Asus Zenfone 9 officially launched, starting at €799 (~₹64k for the base 8/128GB)

    At least they stopped with 2 cameras instead of playing number games. Also less hideous looking than ,say, vivo, oneplus. Those phones have bigger camera islands than whole us. Asus also managed to cram a 3.5mm jack in a 5.9 inch flagship, and Apple, Samsung and other brands will still hold up...

    Send a courier from UK to India

    AFAIK Nope. Amazon takes all charges into account and then shows total amount to be paid. Even there’s a chance to get excess amount back in case your parcel is charged less custom duty. I ordered a watch from Amazon.jp just a month ago and paid what was shown in the first place, though I...

    Audio Audiophile and gears

    Most people rave about pairing hd6xx or 650 with tube amps, that’s what he tried and maybe realized in the process it’s not worth the hype? Though I would love to try this combo someday for self-realization.

    Update: so they dispatched he400se as soon as I emailed earlier today about sending that without any upgrade. I guess this is gonna be my end of story with hifiman. Anyway. This was one of the greatest deals last year. And due to that Sennheiser also has garnered some audiophile scalpers...

    So I emailed them again. Either he400i or an upgrade or a refund. No less than that. Now really I’m questioning my life decision of buying a hifiman instead of 560s. Even few days ago I even thought of upgrading to Ananda. Lol. Never again, not even in my horror dream. Like every fricking year...

    Audio Audiophile and gears

    back n forth bickering didn’t result anything in fruitful and I’ve to settle for he400se. Spending another 15k for v2 isn’t worth it. They said govt allegedly increased import duty by 5%, so v2 has higher msrp than 2021. I didn’t want to throw another wad of cash towards hifiman. it’s better to...

    That’s what I asked. Let’s see what they have to say. charging full msrp isn’t acceptable at all. Eventually V2 will sell for 27k. Also v2 hasn’t even launched yet. So don’t know what are the revisions done, sonic difference.

    same thing happened with me a week ago, right driver went dead after a year, thankfully I opted for extended warrant. I used he400i occasionally, so daily wear n tear isn’t the problem, but infamous hifiman quality control. I messaged my ad goldfinch acoustics first, he asked me to contact...

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/2386473901653225/permalink/2824663251167619/ seems like KZ is literally scamming people in the name of multidriver iems. Lol. No wonder almost all their iems sound the same.

    That’s why I said another. Anyway it’s headphonezone, can’t expect any reasonable pricing when they are the only retailer of the product. Pure evilness. Remeber the time when 7hz timeless they brought first in India. Priced at 21k. Went like this for several days. Soon after audiostore and...

    Music Player for Android (research and finding)

    It maybe is due to clipping. Few metallica albums are notorious for bad mastering afaik. Try to decrease the preamp gain by 4-5 dB. Then increase the volume.
