I have had the Momentum 3 for a couple years now and really rate them. I just bought the H95 and still testing them but I have to agree that the M3 still sound as good if not better than the H95. Especially when you consider the price delta. And for the M3, they have a HiFi EQ setting in the app that dials back the bass in let's the mids and highs come through more. Have you tried this?

How much is the difference in resolution of sound? Between these And did you heard sony z1r?

Orgulho ver a minha bandeira, quanto ao assunto, tenho o senn hd560s e estou pensando em adquirir um novo headphone, pergunto-me se nessa faixa de preço algum vai soar melhor q o q tenho, tenho ainda uma vasta colecção de iems.

Hi , interesting video, it may be an idea to fit a headband sponge like I did with my old senn hd575 as it didn’t have one at all, also my old senn has thicker Earpad’s, 32mm , so I fitted those to my 660s, and 6xx now they are even more comfortable. Regards mark

I got the Chord Mojo 2 a few months ago. I've had several daca before, including Dragonfly red, Cayin ru6, from FiiO... The Chord Mojo 2 has had rhe biggest agfevt across all my IEMs akd headphones. It's brilliant! I wasn't that wow'd by my Truth Ear Hexas or Sennheiser IE600 until I used them with the Chord which added depth, musicality and more.

Also, a detail most people don’t seem to “click with” is that, running power and audio signal separately, is advantageous to SNR, via the micro USB and USB C.

Power delivery from mains has always been superior in terms of output, however, it must be noted that a battery provides the cleanest signal due to its isolation in a signal path. Actually bought the Mojo 2 because of your enthusiasm for the sound quality. One can’t deny our emotional connection to music and it seems that the Mojo 2 provides that in droves 🥰

Thanks for the review. I own large headphone collection including the Senns 600 and 800s which i adore. However, the 7200 are my favourite closed-backs. Indeed, they are naturally with excesive bass and lacking trebble, but after EQ those are simply SOTA. My 2Cs.

It's so painful finding a good closed back headphone, I have many headphones but I keep going back to my ATH M50X, I just want the low end of the M50X coupled with more refined mids and highs. Good comparison and review, thanks.

Did you get a good seal?

This is what happens when you give a sennheiser fan boy a different brand to review. Biased from the start. Dont bother doing reviews when you have a conflict of interest.

⭐$800.00 dollars? RIPOFF! Get the FIIO KA11 $40.00 dollars. Top notch AMP/DAC.💲💲💜💛💜

I am not sure if you configured the sound of 7200 correctly? To me the bass is very important because I am watching movies with headphones and I don't believe open back HD660S2 are good in that regard. They look more comfortable but in terms of watching movies with them they are probably not as good as 7200.

S17 shits all over the a70 pro.

with your iems exclusively is there a very noticeable difference between all these dacs (including the apple dongle) ? thanks

I wonder if you liked it the same way with Topping NX7, even more portable❗️😃

Thank you❗️👍Is it true that it takes around 30min for the Mojo 2 to warm up and sound good ❓

Apple Dongle doesn't have much power, if you like listening loud.

Already have and indeed VERY special!! Powers all nanner of IEMs to full potential. Even planar. Even work amazing with low imedance full size HP like Verum2 ( 8 ohms). This may very well be my last SS Dac. The expense to get a very marginal improvement AND EQ are extreme (3 to 4x). I was at Headfi NY and my phone and Mojo2 combo were giving $2k+ DAPs the sweats!!! I also have an IFI Signature Pro for BIG HP. But dont use nearly as much as Mojo...

I have the OH7 as replacement for IE80s for 3yrs now, I love how relaxing and comfortable it sounds. The super wide soundstage and the bass is just butter!!!! The issue with OH7 is OXIDATION because the copper body turns dull quickly and it releases a green substance specially at the bottom of the ear tips. NEVER EVER think of using it for workout or any activity that involves sweating because of the oxidation I mentioned, at will smell rotten metal if you don't clean it. I worry that there might be oxidation inside but so far 3yrs of use no any issue. But I will always recommend OH7 to anyone because I use it more often than my Adromeda-gold and Polaris2 and even stopped using my Ananda.

You are answering all the questions i have. Thanks

That dongle would constantly fuck my music audio levels up. i just started carrying my lg v30 i bought on swappa for like $50 with burn in an cracked screen and owned for 5 years at this point and dont' really care if i drop or break as my dedicated headphone jack device.

Good review. Topping is known for chasing measurements over soud quality. The ifi gryphon is holographic, but you have to use the 4.4 balanced jack, not the SE 3.5.

Hahaha! you made me laugh with "This is the end of my journey"! No my friend, this is the beginning of addiction :D You remember me from 6-7 years ago when I started with HD 660s (OG) and ifi black label. I've also said that this will be my final setup, the end of the journey. You are lying to yourself :D. With the 660s (150 ohm) I had a lot of power from the IFI BL, but what makes that pair work best is the Xbass+ feature! The sound is more organic, controlled and balanced. If you can, try ifi signature with 660s2 and put Xbass+ and I think it will have a good synergy. You can also try the dt770 250 ohm variant. It has better resolution and the bass is more accurate than 80 ohm, but you'll need good amplification. But what you have is enough. Enjoy your equipment, have a wonderful journey through the audio experience!

Love from Sweden

I enjoy my momentum 4 with hiby r3ii through 3.5mm jack too. Sounds beautiful. Even tho with just a dongle on my phone it doesn't sound as good.

I'm waiting for a Mojo3 with built in bluetooth and more modern connections. I can't stand the Poly. Just seems so outdated.

12:08 We have a collection of equipment and are looking for synergies. Great video. Ps. I love my IFI Go Blue for my IEM’s . As for my over ears ..Bryston BHA-1 headphone/ pre amp. Denafrips 12-1 Ares DAC Amazon Music HD . Audiolab 6000CDT. Main headphones Sen’s 650 and LCDX 2021 .☕️

GM from Toronto ☕️ Listening .

Why I love the Samsung. Settings adjusted to DEV mode and LDAC is made available. Voila, LDAC with the BTR5. However, if I am bothered to go wired to the phone, then a dongle DAC suits me just fine (Abigail~$13 or CS Pro Audio CS43131 DSD256~$23). Most of the time I prefer using KZ AZ09 Pro BT 5.2 earhooks with a Let Shouer S12 or MP154 or HEXA, in AptX HD.

I have focal bathys and they take a while to get used to also. But i ordered these for kiwi orchestra lite so im hoping to enjoy this.

Good afternoon from Toronto ☕️ I’m still rocking the IFI Go Blue for my portable use …IEM’s exclusively.

Your review is shifted toward the use case of phones without headphone jacks, but I use bluetooth audio to listen to sources wirelessly as I live in an apartment and work at various distances and directions to the source. I'm glad they still make devices like this since my previous bluetooth audio solution became irreparable. I am upset that the price of these wireless audio solutions have gone up significantly, though the engineering in them has significantly improved since my last purchase over ten years ago. Anyways, I appreciate your insight. I was trying to glean more from those who had a better understand of audio and didn't just hook it up via bluetooth. I wanted to know what I was missing.

No question about your education and profession but I would like to see a hearing test done by doctor first 😂

This really helped as I'm not an Apple person but was gifted an iPad and just bought a Fiio DAC Amp for my Samsung phone. I thought my USB-C to lightning would work for my ipad, but it didn't. I am going to order one of those camera cables. Thank you so much!

Absolutely great review! You're a cool guy, and so far, you're my favorite dude on RUclips! Thanks for the excellent review!

Using this thru wireless connection is like using the dongle, if you wanna see the difference it has to be wired connected to your phone.

You said "pounds" so am i to infer that this is the European version of the Apple dongle? I need to know how good that performs because it outputs half the power of the version of the dongle everywhere else in the world. I find this whole apple dongle situation hilarious because for years i have been hating on audiophiles for being the biggest saps on the planet and allowing companies to sell them 10 dollar electronics for 200 dollars or more and drive the price of audio equipment through the roof, and lo and behold this thing comes along.

I like the Dragonfly Cobalt, sound that comes out is similar to my previous bulky setup with ALO International with AK120II using the Etymotics IEM. I can clearly see the motion of the drummer, guitarists in the center, left and right. Amazing. Huge plus is portability, can't beat the convenience. Regarding the harshness, I did not find that to be case at all. I am using Grado SR325X and 10e. I found the sound to be accurate, responsive, a bit bright but it sounds like live music. Sure, you can have complex setup at home with 10x more money, but if portability is the highest priority, Dragonfly Cobalt is the best. I may never go back to separate amp/DAP.

I had the red in sold it I’m not sure if it was defective but it simply sounded weak I used it on mac / iPhone

I bought the BTR5 on the back of this for my iPhone 15. Have seldom been so disappointed in a gadget. Terrible ergonomics ( buttons are too small, zero haptics,…). Once hooked up you can only change the volume using the DAC - iPhone and headphone volume control is disabled. I also have a Zen DAC and there is a huge difference in the audio quality from this compared to the BTR5. Needless to say I sent it back the same day. So still looking for a decent DAC…

Too bad I didn’t find your video before I bought one. I really didn’t hear much difference or sound improvement.😢

Exactly!! They are super over hyped, I Had same experience with them, I thought mine were defective, thought of getting a dac-amp to improve them but these are not for listening to music at all. Fake reviews are flooded everywhere who hypes them to a crazy level.

I also would have preferred phones kept the headphone jack but I own this and the BTR7 and they sound really good to me. I'm glad I can use my preferred headphones and buds with my phone again. My problem with the Apple Dongle is that it's too flimsy for daily use.

Also EQ does not work on USB mode

Is there an easy way to connect an iPhone with this btr5 via DAC wither with an adapter or with something similar? I could just go for Bluetooth to connect my car system and when needed, I’ll use it with my laptop at 192khz at home, but I would love to be able to just output hd audio from my iPhone on the go. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Totally agree. I was shocked when I realized how good it is.

Lol AAC obviously it sounds awful

What do u mean with “sounds faster”?
