August 30, 20233 yr comment_919809 Didn’t realize “Hope Audeze gets their budget in the stronger currency. That used to be dollars, but these days the dollar ain’t shit.” was intended as sarcasm. Hard to read tone through a screen. Report
August 30, 20233 yr comment_919828 from my own limited experience, the loss of export sales is always 10x whatever could be saved by buying components from the country with the weaker currency. in theory RK50 pots should have dropped 50%, but they're actually up 50% from a few years ago Report

Great news for Audeze, on the other hand! I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t want to be getting in to the high end headphone market. At least as an apple user their stuff is so solid and the wireless connection so convenient that more often than not I’ll just put on the air pod max rather than fire up the main headphone rig. I agree, somewhat. Ive basically given up on portable headphones/IEMs for my Airpod Max but still use the rigs if they are near. But the wireless products from Apple are oh so convenient and sound pretty good. Report

But the wireless products from Apple are oh so convenient and sound pretty good. I agree with you. Used to buy the best and latest IEM. Now at work I have the AirPodMax or Pros and that is really all I need when I am on the move. The only exception is when bike riding, I wear bone conduction earphones for my audio-books. The only good headphones I need is my Staxes when I am at home. Report
September 6, 20233 yr comment_920146 I have some Samsung Bluetooth buds by AKG. They're pretty good, but I still almost always reach for my Astell & Kerns Billie Jean IEMs by Jerry Harvey. The detail is just better, and I don't mind the wires at all. More comfortable too. Report
