Sony Headphone Connection

For the price this dac/amp is a bargain. I use it to drive my Sony MDR Z1R headphone and my Sennheiser IE 900 IEM. Wired connection sounds better than the bluetooth connection but all the features this product offers makes this a must have. Just buy it you will be happy. This is audiophile bargain

By far the xm3 is the best headphone I had. It reproduces truly beautiful sounds. It's a must have from Sony!

initially used this headphone in a Sony Store, was blown away by the quality and have not found anything better so bought myself one.

Use this to extend headphone cable. Works well and the molded connectors are well made and provide a solid connection.

The Go blu is great for portable use. It matches well with my LETSHUOER S12 Pro IEMs. It has a livelier sound than DAPs I've used. I use my Pixel 7 running Plexamp. I connect using LDAC to the Go Blu. Then I use a Balanced connection from the Go blu to my IEMs. I've experienced no Noise/hiss using the balanced connection. If you're concerned about the no clip issue B&H sells iFi's Go blu leather case with the integrated clip. I've also tried the Go blu with easy to drive headphones and it did fine. I haven't tested the bluetooth distance, but with the phone near me I never loose conections. I have rarely noticed a skip but since I'm streaming music from my NAS to Plexamp on my phone, then using bluetooth to the unit, who's to know what causes that. It might even be the files. Overall, I'm very impressed with the Go blu. It turns almost any headphone into a bluetooth headphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a crafter and do a couple of craft shows each year. I had started taking credit cards and the the device that I use is connected to my headphone connection on my phone. No problem until I got a new phone and there is no headphone connection. I saw this and thought this will be great!! Sure enough it works great!! I am able to plug this into my USB-C port on my phone and then plug my square card reader into the headphone port on the adapter. Works like a charm!! It also works great with plug in headphones/earphones.

I used this to convert my beats three pin headphone connection to a normal connection to my headphone amp. Being that the Beat has that third line on the connector it didn't let my headphone go stereo because that third line is used for Mic or cell phone connection it would interfere. It does its job nothing else.

Excellent quality, using for connection between balanced DAC and balanced headphone amp. Will buy more of these when needed.

I bought these primarily for the noise cancelling, and they work great. I work in an office with half height cubicles and lots of conversations, copier machines, conference calls, etc. I am not exaggerating when I say they brought a momentary tear to my eyes when I turned them on for the first time. The office hum and chaos tuned immediately to a hush. I couldnt even hear the copier or my neighbors conversation. I kept taking them off and putting them on just to make sure I wasnt fooling myself. Right then and there I knew my office life would change for the better, and it has. Ive had these for about two weeks and bring them with me everyday. Please be aware that some voices are of a certain frequency that the noise cancelling doesnt totally block them out, but they are silenced enough that a soft soundtrack through my Bluetooth connection effectively eliminates any remnant noise. The music quality was secondary to my needs, but I am very happy with the quality of both the wired connection and wireless for my streaming service. To maximize these headphones I recommend downloading the Sony Music Center app in addition to the headphone app the instructions link you to download on your mobile device. It seemed to enable the LDAC wireless connection from my mobile phone to these headphones. These get five stara from me because they exceed my expectations. For somebody who is an audiophile, they may not exceed your expectations. But if you want really good audio quality and effective noise cancelling in a wireless over the ear headphone, dont hesitate. BTW, they are very good for taking calls too and having a conversation. My wife couldnt tell I was on headphones when I was talking to her. She said my voice was very clear, for what its worth. One other thing to note is that the physical button that turns on/off the headphone can be reassigned to do Google Assistant. Seems redundant if your phone is within reach. But I like these very much and highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This headphone feels well built. Connection is quick and range of the connection is enough to penetrate two floors and three walls. The battery life is long and the headband is not fatiguing with several days of intermittent use from bicycling and jogging. The sound stage is excellent with good base. Noise cancellation is not aggressive so a few syllables will filter through but most of the ambient noise will be absorbed.
