Are you thinking about this?
You need a transducer that supports that tech as well, none of the ones out there atm do afaik.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has it so the S24 Ultra does have that.

I came across an interesting topic Crossfeed for headphones | Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum
and I thought Iād share it with you.
Generally in headphones or IEMās we listen to music wrong for perception, i.e. in each ear we get only left and right channels
(Iām talking about Crossfeed)
On PC you can install EQ APO Equalizer APO download | SourceForge.net.
(To make Crossfeed work you need to go to the EQ APO directory at C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config\ and open the config file and enter the following parameters
Copy: L2=L R2=R
Channel: L2 R2
Filter: ON HSC 6 dB Fc 1000 Hz Gain -15 dB
Copy: L=0dBLĀ±16.0dBR2 R=0dBRĀ±16.0dBL2
Channel: L R
Filter: ON LSC 6 dB Fc 400 Hz Gain -1 dB
These parameters do not affect the frequency response.
I donāt know if itās inappropriate to share this, but I wanted to).

Crossfeed should be mandatory on every piece of audio gear moving forward. That is a very interesting read and implementation into a chain.
Having it on the Mojo 2 made me realize how useful it is, especially with older recordings.

On android, UAPP has crossfeed function, a freq and a db can be set. So itās not as customizable as EqAPO

Since you have both, can you try EQāing the Doscinco to match the Cincotresā curve and seeing how close they are to each other?
Since its the same drivers in both, Iām curious if you can basically EQ one to the other.

Thank you. Yes. It is the Qualcomm S7 and S7 pro chipsets I was thinking of. It looks like there might be some exciting wireless changes in the near future. Here is the original article I read.
Also, the new Sennheiser MTWS 4 buds have something called LE Audio and Auracast, which Iām not familiar with, but state that theyāre able to adapt to the newer technologies.

That is Bluetooth Low Energy, a focus on making low bitrate stuff sound better so you can get better quality at a lower energy cost.
Havent heard that before but.
āAuracast is a Bluetooth feature that essentially allows a source device, like a TV or phone, to broadcast one or more audio streams to an unlimited number of audio receivers such as earbuds, speakers or hearing aids, owners of which can then choose which audio stream(s) they want their listening device to tune into.ā
Thanks. Thats interesting. So, Auracast isnt about sound quality, but about connectivity. My wife and I could both listen to the same stream on two separate sets of transducers. Or, if I had four ears, I could really double up on the enjoyment! 
Yeah, the only sound quality advances BT will have in the next few years will be the S7/S7-pro, LE Audio and Xmems driver availability.

+1 for this please, if youāve got the inclination. Iām sure I heard someone say they are virtually indistinguishable when EQād to one another, but canāt find it for the life of me. It would certainly take the uncertainty out of choosing which to buy if it is the case.
Does this mean that , in the next year or so, weāre going to start seeing audio gear (DAPs, portable DAC/Amps) that transmit Bluetooth coming out with new versions with this S7/S7 pro chipset? And what about gear that receives Bluetooth? Im wondering if my beloved iFi Gryphon will be obsolete in a few years ( I do enjoy listening with Bluetooth every now and then ).
I dont know.
Not much info is out on this, I only know that you need a host device with snapdragon 8 gen 3 soc for it to have that and then you need the transducer side to also have it.

First day of ownership so yet to look at the Bluetooth
To be fair Im not much of a blutooth guy Iām pretty much wired for sound.

Me too, usually. But there is this lazy part of me that just wants to use my Gryphon without the extra 5 seconds it would take to attach a USB-C cable.

UM Mest MK2 has been on my list of to try demos but now Canpur is overtaking it lol. Those suckers must be amazing but Iām still on poor boi territory
Gonna snag the Cinco when itās on Amazon, I expected Doscinco to be your choice so Iām surprised but also curious to hear it, might even pass up on Hype 4 tbh
Any of the FFs is the next try if I do skip Hype
On that subject is Maestro Mini even worth the grab instead of saving up for a Scarlet
Canpur 622b ovr MEST all day long. Eveb b4 I thought UM was a garbage company (mngmnt anyway)
Cinco pops and Dos is a set I already have 5 versions of
I canāt comment with any authority on new Maesro mini since I havenāt tried it
On a related note:
Avoid folks who give investment opinions on demos.
Itās one thing to think what you do w/ limited ear time
Itās a whole nother level of fuckd up to suggest another person spend money cuz a guy demoed (item X) and goes by memory to advise how another person should ā¦spend their money
There are levels to the stupidityā¦
Listening to anyone who says āGoing by memoryā is worthy of losing their money to a bad invest

Definitely Iāve seen some peeps tell me by memory and I still donāt consider that as anything, Iād rather have concrete thoughts from someone whoās spent time with em
I didnāt know maestro mini had any changes, I was already iffy on em to begin with after seeing people wait an eternity for their sets
Canpurās joined my list of brands I gotta try stuff from, UM Iām more likely to grab second hand just because I donāt feel great throwing money at the company themselves

HBBs beef with UM is hisā¦not yoursā¦donāt sell them short because heās got a hard-onā¦and rightfully soā¦for management and their business practicesā¦they manufacturer quality monitors and simply because I myself had a problem with a set from themā¦should not in anyway discourage you from buying a used pair

Canpur is on another level than the Mest, be it the MK2 or 3, donāt listen to it! I would even take anyday of the week a used MSE over the Mest, IF you like a lot of bass, skull rattling level of it all day long. GM can be more precisely tuned to an audiophile level with bass boost, even down to how you like your bass exactly imo with the metal vs resin, not just tame the giant hill in the bass/sub bass. The Maestros can get as effortless as the Canpur, but i would say only the GM comes close to the 622b in resolution, particularly on metal modules. Even the Mentor canāt compete on that, but itās up there in tonality/timbre, with less bass however tight and fast (BAās bass), along a darker signature in the mids (i think thatās what created its little online cult).
With that said a used Mest might be a great value, hard to beat on its own. Either the II or the III that is more bassy.
The appeal of the hobby imo is also the progression. If you get a Canpur or GM right away, for us mere mortals non youtubers, they are so good, you might feel you are done and can switch hobby.

I think you need at least a day or two with a new set to take it all in, also ādetuneā yourself from your favorite set. I ve been surprised myself after a few days, doing some A/B/C/D comparison and finding more obvious differences. Same track, switching 3 or 4 sets on the fly, then next tracks, ā¦ Only way to really make any comparisons. āI heard this set last summer vs what i have at home nowā: little meaning.
Btw UM answered me about the servicing, it would take 1-2 months once the get the sets according to them, so im on the verge, not sure it would be worth the wait as are they are not in bad shape.
