What aspect of your current listening experience would you like to improve?

I am looking to upgrade to a better headphone for desktop use & occasional travel.

Budget - How much would you like to spend? Can you stretch your budget if significant quality/features improve at a slightly higher price point?

I'd like to stay under $3K if possible, which is a stretch for me too, but I keep my equipment for a long time, and I usually wear headphones around 8 hours a day.

Source/Amp - What are you plugging the headphones into?

• MacBook Pro 16" (with the upgraded high-impedance amp)
• [AK HC2](https://www.astellnkern.com/product/product_det

I got a ReMarkable a couple months ago and love it! Just updated to 3.0 beta and thought the fonts seem off, almost broken and misaligned.

I design for a living and am somewhat disappointed.

Am I the only one that valued the old typeface? Is there anything I can do to replace it?

Sorry in advance for the somewhat scatterbrained post!

Coming from consumer-grade headphones like AirPods Pro, Bose, B&O, and recently the fantastic Devialet Gemini, I wanted something better. So I listened to (some of) you guys.

I literally can't wait. I'm concerned about their fitment, and on the other hand I am a relative noob to Hi-fi IEMs and know nothing.

• Any tips (literally and figuratively)?
• I know these IEM's come with amazing cables out of the box but I would LOVE to get a cable with microphone for daily usage if possible. Any recommendations?
• Is there a good portable carrying case for these?
• (yikes) I have seen some forums and Amazon reviews where people converted

Hi all!

Relative n00b audiophile here and longtime lurker.

I've finally decided to buy some Sony IER-Z1R but I have a lot of meetings throughout the day and the need to keep switching to AirPods or something else with a microphone is not enticing to me.

Is there a good, high quality, and well-designed cable with microphone that would work with the IER's recessed MMCX port?

I have seen a few but they're few and far between.
