    I have had Px7 S2 for over a year. Clean, mature, reference kind of sound. Love them. ANC is decent too. Only I can complain about is poor app and the fact that aptX Adaptive doesnt go all way up to 24 / 96, but is rather 24/48. These are my primary "nice music listening" bluetooth phones. I got M4 the other day actually for discount. The idea was to replace my trusty 5 yr old Sony WH1000XM3 as kind of all-around, casual music / movie watching / gaming / home-office headphones. They felt palsticky and buggy. The sound is quite good but Px7 is still much more "serious" kind of phones for me. ANC is non existing - seriously I had to check that i didn't turn on transparency mode by mistake - it was that bad. I decided to return them and get refund. Will wait for Sonos Ace to go down in price.

    • @TheSourceAVDesignGroup
      @TheSourceAVDesignGroup 5 дней назад

      I enjoyed the Sony MDR Z1r, but at $999, the Noire X is very hard to beat for all the reasons I described in the video. I didn't directly compare the two headphones, but based on audio memory, the Noire X is a more balanced set of headphones, whereas the Sonys are more V-shaped, so it will come down to personal preferences on sound.

    • @dougquesnel5613
      @dougquesnel5613 4 дня назад

      I have both right now in front of me. Stock tuning comparison the MDR-Z1R is going to sound less accurate, sometimes boxy sound with vocals, especially a lot of male vocals. Maybe you won't notice it if it's your only reference point. You get a healthy amount of bass / subbass that to this day is still the best quantity / quality you will get out of a headphone. This becomes more apparent in my later details. The Noire X on the other hand out of the box you get almost perfect tuning that will work for every one. Nothing stands out, and it sounds accurate. It sounds extremely precise and clear. I actually compared it to an EQ'd HD800 and I found I preferred the Noire X just for the better bass extension. So out of box performance the Noire X will probably outperform the Sony's. The great thing is you can get some end game dac / amps with fully featured PEQ, or use software and get the MDR-Z1R's to sound amazingly balanced yet still retain its incredible bass performance. Also used prices on the MDR-Z1R can be had for cheaper than a Noire X so factor that in. There are some autoeq / oratory profiles where you can mess with and get it sounding similar in terms of tonal balance to the Noire X, but you get a bass slam that is unlike any headphone I have experienced (I've been through every 1-6k headphone). With EQ they present music still in a unique way but still feel accurate enough. I should also talk about build quality. Both are fantastic in different ways. The Sony MDR-Z1R I think are best in class. They are up there with Meze if not better for there more toned down appearance. When you hold it, you know it is quality throughout. Comfort I think is best of any headphone ever. They just hug you like a glove. The Noire X are honestly an upgrade in build mostly compared to the E3. The only downside was the smaller cup size which I am picky about but it's not that bad, in reality it forces you to position it in the only correct way to get the best sound. You could position your ears differently on the E3/Expanse/Stealth to tune it if you had a preference, but I found I personally did not like that "feature". Like the Z1R, these go on your head one way, and the audio will consistently be delivered to you every time. If I had to keep one I would probably keep the MDR-Z1R. They may not have the exact precision of the Noire X but they are still incredibly detailed and produce bass unlike any other headphone. If I didn't have an Element IV with the built in PEQ and was using some other dac / amp with no PEQ i'd pick the Noire X. Right now I like to use the Noire X with more vocal / acoustic music and the MDR-Z1R with electronic / hip hop.

    Reel to Reel is definitely superior to vinyl in SO many ways. The only issue is it's an expensive hobby. I stopped using my Revox A77 because I couldn't afford to buy tape any more. I had a few good reels that had high-res albums recorded to them (2 Track at 15 IPS), sounded divine. Makes me genuinely happy that new 'old technology' products are getting made regardless of the price.

    Listening on my S2e's. I love them! I was ready to go into debt for the PX-8's but was pleasantly surprised I could find little difference in sound quality and comfort so paid only about 1/2 the price for S2e's (on sale for less than $300 USD). But, oh, the feel and look on the PX-8's! I do wish the ANC was better on the B&W's but it is not far off from the Bose QC Ultras but is noticeable. For me the Sennheiser's and the Sony feel cheaply made in comparison to the S2e's. The 2 ounces in weight is worth it to me.

      We used to carry HiFiman products. We don't currently and, at times, rotate the brands we carry based on several factors. Nevertheless, the sound of the new flagship headphones they produced in my brief listening time was impressive. Build quality and price for performance will be up to the consumer to decide if they are worth it, not us.
