Just got a new headset recently and went to settings and ‘Show In Find My’ doesn’t pop up. The second image I borrowed to someone’s airpods and did have the ‘Show In Find My’ button. Does itonly allow actual airpods?

Hi, I have a pair of wireless Creative Theater that sound amazing to me. The mic quality though is mediocre, I was wondering if there was a better mic to plug in the 3.5mm jack on the headphones to improve the quality, while keeping everything wireless. Is there a particular mic I should go for if there is any?

They are my favorite budget-friendly, bullet-styled "IEM" that you could just grab at any store, but they their build quality is crap with their noodley cable and I feel like I can never make them last for more than like 4 months. Has anyone else had better luck (or just better habits and attentiveness when it comes to care) making these last a good amount of time? I'd like to atleast hold onto mine for a year.

I also still own the HD800 but I sold off my amps that could drive it properly. I had the Questyle CMA800R and Bottlehead Crack, but I think I ended up deciding to just keep a more lightweight setup. I regret selling the Crack because I remembered the tube amp paired nicely with the HD800.

I originally got the Edition X because it was easier to drive and could be used directly with my phone (this was before the headphone jack got phased out). I remember I got the Bakoon amp because it had an unique current driven topography that worked well with planar magnetics.

I was comparing the sound from the Edition X through the Bakoon vs. directly through the Roland, and it's crazy the difference it makes. Through the Bakoon, everything sounds more 3 dimensional with distinct layers for each instrument and vocals, with the background being blacker as well. I'm actually quite surprised how much the amp improves things. They sound like two different headphones or at least a higher grade of headphones in the same line.

I'm glad I kept something decent for myself. Next I'll need to look into picking up something that can properly drive my HD800.

I have the DX3 Pro+ paired with Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite and was wondering what the best settings for this DAC/AMP are. I know there are filters to choose from, as well as low/high gain and then the 3 output options on the controller (headphone only, line out only and then the big middle button, headphone + lineout). My confusion lies in that when I only choose the headphone option, the "DAC" text disappears from the screen. Does this mean I am not getting the DAC benefit from the device only the AMP benefit? As you can tell, I am fairly new to this.

It;s been over two weeks and it hasn;t shipped at all. I got it from the moondrop store so I didn't get scammed or anything. Really frustrating that I can't properly step into this hobby.

I was messing with my EQ settings, putting +10 and +20 db on some ranges of frequencies to see how it would sound like, but the thing is that my amp (a humble Apple dongle) doesn't have enough power to drive them that loud, so it was likely clipping/distorting the sound. Can this have damage my headphones in any way?

After seeing a lot of reviews and first-hand experiences on this subreddit about the momentum 4's, I finally got mine.

I listened to Child Gambino and Weeknd albums first, and I have to say that hearing the little details and experiencing the music with these headphones have exceeded my expectations. I am glad to have made the purchase and to listen to all of you.

I'm going to listen to Pink Floyd and some Beatles albums next.

I'm listening on the poweramp app and using the Momentum 4 EQ on it.

Hey, so the cable on my sr850's gave out, so I'm thinking of making a detachable cable mod. I'm completely new to modding, so I don't know which jack to choose.

What are some good choices?

Also is it worth going for an XLR connection over aux, even though I'm not making a balanced cable mod? It seems like XLR would last longer. :)

I have an ASUS Zenfone 8 and I love that even the latest version still has a 3.5mm out, but I just started poking around in the settings for my Samsung Galaxy tablet and realized that Samsung Galaxy devices get Dolby Atmos. (Movies have never been better!) It got me thinking, what phones do other auditorily-inclined people use? Does AptX/LDAC support matter to you? Does audio go into your purchasing decisions at all?
