So because you’re all so interested(!), I’m popping in for a periodic update. These Shure adaptors, and the new version sent, both did the same thing: Stuttering and dropping out. It happened very occasionally in my area of SW London, but when I travel into London? Absolute nightmare –...

give this thread has generated such interest (!), I thought I'd give an update. I've had these for a year. And really, really dislike them. Sound is fine (in fact, after a week, I was impressed with the 215s but more impressed with the tranmitters and was going to buy some new 535s to connect...

thanks! I've not gone away, have been reading the site semi-regularly. I've just not been spending any money on hifi recently so not had much time for forums!

the youngest has asked for some music in his room, and we've sonos everywhere else, so it seemed sensible to get him one of the Sonos smaller speakers. I'm drawn to the Sonos Move, but not entirely delighted with spending £60 or so to replace a battery every 3 years when it's likely to spend...

I did look into this at the time and am near (but not 100%) certain that you can hear calls, but there's no mic or command passback. The Zorloo z'tella does allow calls/usage of in-line controls tho. Re the latter, I'm on my second one - the first one failed after 6 months, but to their credit...

Hi - I need some new inears for running. As I'm now USB-C tied I need to look (sadly) as wireless. I've a big concern re wireless falling out, so came across the following Shure True Wireless Adapter for Sound Isolating Earphones, Secure Over-Ear Fit, Bluetooth 5 Wireless Technology, Long...

A nagra classic (pre/power combo), Wilson audio alexx, and a one-off hand-made record player. It made me hate a lot about my own kit!

Thanks BB I saw that Sonos will allow people with mixed systems to remain on the S1 app or divide it to S1 and S2 but means you cannot have party zone across both s1 and s2, but that's not really a concern. Unsure if I end up with 2 meshes or one mesh that 2 apps run off though. Thanks

Hi - a question (or 3!) for sonos experts: First - am I correct in saying the "brick it" requirement for the Sonos upgrade has gone? I bricked a CR200 controller (which was already dead, so was okay with that), but have they now changed so I could redeploy some of the traded-up stuff elsewhere...

I've had lots of glitches on my system - using Amazon Music HD I was using a Google mesh and wireless sonos (i.e. no sonos kit physically connected). The Google diagnostic showed that there was a steady 38mbps throughout the house. But some devices were able to accept more (sorry - not a...

that's what i did! I bought on amazon, as pictured (arrived last night). Not available anywhere else, and not available in the black that was advertised on Audio Affair. The Audio Affair people were very nice when I called to speak to them about it, tho.

Yes, those ones. But they're not "black and silver" in reality. They're chocolate brown and off-white sort off sparkling cream.

So the search has ended, and thanks for all the comments above. The massdrop stuff all looks very cool, but their EU site had limited stock of stuff, all of which had sold out. I quite liked my original Momentums because they are a bit on the neater side (for overear) and the AKG stuff looks...

So, an update. First off - I've never been a fan of Bose. I just don't like the sound (having tried several over the years). Last night I hot-footed it over to a dealer to demo both the PX7 and the Sony xm3. They were both good, but think the PX7 edged it for sound quality, and significantly...
