Do know of any earbud with the same cord type but have a transparent shell instead of the white? I’m new to the community and I’ve been searching for hours. I also see that a lot of people by the components individually and make custom ones, but idk where to start…

I bought Sony wf-c500 Bluetooth headphones yesterday. And it makes a wind-like noise. When I searched it up, I found it is called Hissing sound, static sound, or white noise. I have tried to fix it for 6 hours and I am out of ideas. How can I fix this issue?

Also, I have read a lot of people have the same problem, and not all wireless headphones have white noise. So, if you don't have a solution or any idea about fixing it, can you give me suggestions for new wireless headphones? Because I am planning to return those tomorrow.

> I have to reiterate my opinion on amps/DACs which is that, to date, nobody I’m aware of has ever been able to tell the difference between two well measuring solid state chains in a blind test.

Yeah, this is a good point. Well, I have gone back to Sluggish Shop One and asked them, firstly, if they want to supply the Audeze cans (they don't normally stock them). We'll see on that point. I think these would come in at around £750.

Secondly, I've said I am happy for them to supply the DAC/amp. Once the Audeze have arrived, I'll try them on the Audiolab M-DAC+, which I thought was offered at a fair price-point of £650. I know they have this on demo. This was the system that Ball Scratcher was rude about - while I personally liked it, I am thinking about alternatives.

I see this supplier also has a PS Audio Stellar DAC. This is also a general-purpose DAC/pre-amp, rather than a dedicated HP amplifier, and although it looks lush, it comes in at nearly three times the price - £1800. But it has some excellent reviews. I don't know if they have this as a demo unit, but moreover I wonder if this would start to violate your rule - is it too pricey for my purposes?

(I confess I rather admire Paul's work on YouTube, and so would be given to believe that this amp is a nice bit of kit - but I have not heard it at all).

Hey there looking to get a solid pair of in ear monitor ear buds, wanting maximum comfort for prolonged use, solid noise isolation, and hopefully for a okay price. Tried to follow the required information recommended guide but if I am missing something please reach out

  • Wired, going to be used for phone, gaming controllers, air planes
  • I would like as much isolation or noise cancellation as possible but not my first concern
  • I would use these headphones in public but do not care the style, look, color, etc
  • IEM’s only
  • Looking for a more balanced type of tone
  • Only previous headphone have been the apple AirPod pros and razor kraken over the ear gaming head phones, didn’t love anything about either but the template recommended to state this portion so here I am

It's kind of like...a stick shift makes your car more fun to drive, even if you're unlikely to outwit an automatic transmission in a '24 car, really.
