It baffles me that Sony WH-1000XM4 gets so high praise in the hifi media (What HiFi included). I have listened to them extensively while on loan, and I find they sound murky and muffled. Not clear at all. I also loaned the Dali IO-4's to compare, and unlike the Sony's they sound crystal clear...

Hi, I'm currently the owner of a sony wh-1000xm3, a bose soundsport wireless, an audio-Technica ath-m50x and a Sennheiser hd559. An earphone recently caught my eye, the Campfire Audio IO. But I'm not sure if it's really worth it to get it. I don't have any way of hearing the buds without buying...

Hi, I am a new member to the forum living in Melbourne Australia, hoping to get some advice As heading into a repair shop is a bit tricky these days. I recently noticed when playing with the balance the right channel is quieter than the left. I am not sure how long it has been going on for or...
