How do these fare vs. the NAD Viso HP70???
I understand that the latter are actually a bit worse than the old wired NAD Viso HP-50.
Does the same hold for the M4U8 vs. the old wired M4U1 and M4U2???

OferDon’t know but I own the 2 of the M4u1’s and one of the M4u2’s.
I like PSB a lot they are my travel to Europe headphones.
Gonna look around and prolly jump on this.
I just like the sound Signature.

OferIt’s kind of ironic since I jumped on the N70. That sound signature reminded me a lot of the N50. Though I must admit it’s been a while since I heard the N50.

tinyman392Thanks, so I guess you like the HP70?

OferI did enjoy the N70. The ANC is good enough, but definitely not modern. Micro phonics does become a small issue. The sound signature is one of my favorites though.
I can’t compare to the PSB, however.

OferThe M4U8 is tuned more toward clarity and detailed in the highs than the HP70, which is darker and muddier. This is sort of similar to the tuning of the M4U1 vs the HP50 (never heard the M4U2 but I assume it was very similar to the M4U1), although the HP50s were just darker than the M4U1s, not muddy sounding like the HP70.
I would definitely take the M4U8 over the HP70, but neither the M4U8 or the HP70 is the equal of their hardwired predecessors in terms of either frequency response or detail retrieval, they're less neutral and less resolving (possibly due to the bluetooth hardware).
The M4U8 does greatly improve on build quality vs the old PSB headphones, which were very prone to cracking.
If you need bluetooth headphones with mediocre noise-cancelling, these aren't bad. In terms of sound quality they outdo the offerings from Sony or Bose, but the noise-cancelling is far inferior. If you're willing to risk the poor build quality you're probably better off with M4U2s wired for pure sound quality (with even more mediocre noise-cancelling though).

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
