Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

I recently purchased the Sony WI-1000X and really enjoyed the convenience of the neckband and the long battery life afforded by the format. However, the sound quality just wasn’t quite there for me. I’ve noticed Sony make a Bluetooth neckband but it’s the older BT4 standard, in addition to being MMCX only and quite rare.
I’m part of the next Nuforce EDC3 drop and would love to have a Bluetooth adapter to plug them into. My ideal device would have a 2-pin adapter, 8-10 hours battery life with AAC, APTXHD and LDAC. As this doesn’t currently exist my plan is to wait for the release of the FiiO BTR3 pendant with 3.5mm jack.
I was also wondering what the opportunities are possible with the new Qualcomm chips. I noticed the press release stated that ANC is now built into the chips - hypothetically, if microphones were integrated into the MMCX connector points, would this be close enough to the drivers to provide effective ANC? Do ANC earphones need special tuning or can you just run the noise cancelation frequencies through them?Is this something that would interest people?
