Yeah usually hifi people stay away from consumer things like ANC and bluetooth

The apple airpods max are the first hifi-not-hifi headphones to incorporate those

Yup. Less processing the better for purists.

Quality amp needed to drive these these properly.

These do not really the amp and dac help but these are super easy to drive and they sound alright you do lose a good bit of soundstage though

Most planar magnetics are significantly easier to drive than dynamics in my limited experience

nice, i believe the audio source also needs to be ā€œHDā€ quality to sound good? im still living in the 320k mp3 time period :joy: :joy:

Used to be an audiogon 'tard. Owned Magnepans. Krell driven. All planars are thirsty if you want the full experience.

Now letā€™s fight to the death.

I didnā€™t dudeā€¦ I stuck both the main wires and the charging wires in the larger terminal and filled that bitch with solderā€¦

Beautiful!!.. I was wondering if it was ok to just use solder. Thx for the pics as well. I will be attempting my first battery build soon. Waiting on parts.

Oh yeah, that kit will be my 2nd battery build. Iā€™m doing a NESE build to build my confidence before I move onto spot welding and soldering.

Havenā€™t quite understood. Itā€™s a portable battery pack for charging? I havenā€™t understood what the big buck type thing is :smiley:
