Edit: Issue resolved.

Not many details yet, but it looks like A&K are finally releasing a successor to the XB10 similar to Qdelix 5K/FiiO BTR5: https://fccid.io/QDMPEM21 It has a 600 mAh battery, which compares to the others as below: XB10: 350 mAh Qdelix: 500 mAh BTR5: 550 mAh We can expect aptX HD and LDAC, and...

This show was my first time listening to Ultimate Ears and I thought the UE Premier sounded incredible. I was skeptical about the high driver count and huge shells, but I thought they were the best sounding IEMs at the show, I enjoyed them more than the Tia Fourté, Odin or VE Aura.

Might be the same as the AK320: AK320 v1.21 10.30.2017 https://www.astellnkern.com/support/download.jsp?searchType=&searchKeyword=ak320&downloadCategory=&productNos=&page=1&pageSize=10

Could be subjective but I prefer how the CS43198 in the SR15 sounds than the ES9018K2M (DP-X1A). I would go for the SR15.

Used only a few times. Selling as moving to over-ear headphones. Free shipping to UK.

Selfridges are still selling them: https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/astell-kern-ak-campfire-solaris-x-limited-edition-earphones_R03824840/

Posted on FCC: https://fccid.io/QDMPPM43 According to the reports the battery is smaller than any of the previous KANN players: KANN - 6,200mA KANN CUBE - 7,400mA KANN ALPHA - 5,600mA Possibly a smaller form factor?

Recently submitted on FCC, seems like a new version of the SR15 is coming soon: https://fccid.io/QDM Looks like a potentially new form factor rather than just an updated AK70 like the SR15: I wonder if a new A&Futura is coming too.

It will be interesting to see how this sounds compared to the SE100 / SP1000. I'm not sure how I feel about the design, the LED is something different at least. I wish A&K didn't insist on keeping those huge bottom bezels on the screen though. A&K players are starting to look a bit dated when...

Is there a way to go back to where you were in the album menu without using the floating back button (as opposed to swiping left and starting from the top of the albums again)? Also the floating back button doesn't always seem to respond when I press it.

A&K already confirmed that they don't change the sound signature with firmware updates. So yes, nobody hears the changes because there aren't any.

I was going to wait for a 'SP2000', but that gold SP1000M looks beautiful.

Well A&K already mentioned that a version of the SP1000 will be released next year. If they announce it by May it will already have been 2 years since the original SP1000 was first announced. That’s a reasonable amount of time to justify a new model. It doesn’t seem like a dock or amp is likely...

I usually use IEMs with a DAP but I was getting tired of using (and losing) the 3.5mm headphone dongle when switching to my iPhone / iPad so I got the Studio 3 out of curiosity. I think my expectations were set so low that they don’t sound as bad as I thought they would. I do feel like I need...
