Rumors and new releases thread

I mean, Sennheiser don’t do round headphones overall. They’re definitely comfortable once you ease the clamp.

Interested to see what a Hifiman closed dynamic brings to the table. Cheap audioman has a review out already.

The BL03. Bought them. Didn’t like them at all.

Hmm… Not sure I would get on with that headband. And the ear pads look too thin. But you never know until you put them on. Anyway, I’m not in that market at this time. I’m saving up for something better.

Resolve from headphones.com had an early pair and posted a short/quick review and measurements of them:

It looks like a Monarch II quite a lot.

xinhs posted a message about being away for new years and included this pic, not sure if it’s just a custom they’ve had made or a xinhs iem but :man_shrugging: something to speculate on

Akros have reviewed some of their iems.

have you been given a review unit or anything like that (news included)? feel like you’re the #1 xinhs salesman

Nope, nothing. They dont talk to me at all.

sucks, checked the comments and it said it’d be listed for $80, worth a try imo at that price

I dont like how they graph.

I am tempted to get a pair of these and try pad swapping to thicker pads, and add some cool design art on the backs of those cups

me too. the FR charts out there show why this is likely a winner for me. it has a beautiful W signature! :smiley:

The most affordable Softears IEM. Wonder how it compares against the B2D.

Intriguing, but i’m going to wait on the reviews. I own the iPhone 12 Pro and I use that mag safe wallet and the magnets in it isn’t all that great. Sometimes it’ll partially slip off when I pull my phone out of my pocket.

Has anyone purchased the Topping NX7 Portable Amplifier ? If so curious to hear what people think of it. I saw a short video from Josh Valour. I felt the same way he did about it not being a DAC/Amp. He says no noise floor, and very neutral.

I was sort of expecting it would be a popular item here, since it has serious power, fantastic specs, and loads of battery life. I tend to like neutral amps, and let the headphones and IEMs do coloring, so it might a good choice.

I believe @nymz has bought it (obviously).

It looks like a great device truly, but lack of inbuilt DAC make the use case limited in my opinion (I know, CX-Pro, apple dongle etc).
For same price you have mini desktop single ended 1W combo Topping DX3Pro+ (they have worst naming convention along with Sony, IFI and Hifiman) with plenty of inputs including BT that measures amazingly. And it is clean setup.
NX7 is as portable as such large devices could be and using it stationary seem like a waste of battery.

It’s my EDC atm (I’m getting IFI Gryphon soon), and as been for almost a month.

It’s a freaking beast. Clean as clean can get. Basicly a topping amp… but portable. Batery is great too.
It pairs really well with my RSV for example, since it’s VERY clinical, low OI (<0.1ohm) and 1.4w. Oh, and did I say negative gain already for sensible iems?

Lack of DAC is a con, but easy surpasseable.
