Qudelix also has a built in mic, which I find to be rather handy

WHAT!? I didn’t know this! Man, that little thing seriously does and has everything!

Guessing you have your library on the PC and just have it connected to the phone as well to be able to answer calls directly?

I mostly use YouTube Music during the work day, with most work things on RingCentral / Zoom / Slack for work, but I also get some calls. So audio is all over the place. The cool part is that when I take a phone call it also pauses playback on most things on the PC, and resumes when I hang up.

I do have the FLAC files from a bunch of CDs on a NAS that I haven’t unpacked it since we moved here in May. I might be able to tell the difference in A/B testing, but I would probably have to borrow a better set of headphones / IEMs than anything I own.

Yeah I’m keeping Mele but I won’t get Timeless. Maybe Tea… Let’s see. Wonder what 11.11 sales are like

@ttorbic

Maybe Tea…

Stock tips from Mele is bad, this tips is wide bore, but its making the treble slightly removes the detail and separation quality. I think this could be because the silicone is too soft or the tips height only 8mm. Rolling tips is a must do

There’s the new BTR 5(MQA) if you’re into that (wish they are not MQA compatible as they increase the price), Shanling UP5, Quds 5k…the new one the ifi Blu (pricey)…

Thing is they’re convenient, yes, but they burn through your phone battery if you use LDAC mode. My phone barely last its normal day using my BTR5 like 4 hours per day… That’s why I took another route, the DAP.

Portable amp/dacs is another option with their own battery.

(Fiio Q3, Xduoo XD05, Ifi Hip-dac…etc)

[borneanheadhunter]

Yeah. I think your suggestion is the better option. Can serve as desktop amp/dac as well.

I agree with you the tips are bad. It is too soft and thin compare to any aftermarket tips.

With a medium ear canal would any of u still recommend cp100 yellow over red?

[Rainlynd]

M is enough, L is like 13mm diameter.

[Martin]

Alright guys I just ordered the XINHS silver 8 core cable for mele, it will arrive in 11 days, the guy will also make me a HD6XX balanced 4.4mm cable without extra cost I really recommend the store.

[ttorbic]

Wait wait, he’s making you HD6XX cable for free??

[nymz]

No, he means he didn’t pay extra for balanced or 6XX terminations. Xinnhs is the best store ever

[ttorbic]

Oooh looks like I’ll need to message the store to get a combo deal for my Sundara and Mele!

[Martin]

Sennies own option is 200 bucks, and most other cables on AliExpress are ugly. I was so surprised by this customer service, I’ve never tried balanced cables so I wonder what it’ll do.

[borneanheadhunter]

Taking Mele out for a date

[nymz]

Great shots! Congratz

[hawaiibadboy]

Those are dope shots

[borneanheadhunter]

Thanks @hawaiibadboy @nymz took them for my mountain bike ride on my daily trail. The iem motif reminds of a spot along my ride.
