IMO, Siri has been a very useful feature, and not a disappointment at all.

That was such a cool video ten years ago.

Right. Because recorded music and live music are exactly the same thing, and all forms of recorded music translate profitably to the stage. I know people like to think that (and repeat) performing live is the answer, but for a majority of people, this simply isn't true.

If you get played 100,000 times on spotify, you get paid £8.

"in ear headphones"

Larger sensors can be problematic and expensive. Smaller, more dense sensors have a number of technical and performance advantages. The elimination of the mirror box presents opportunities to optimize the optics to take advantage of smaller sensors.

Nope. There isn't anything you can do about the low end on the er-4s. It just isn't in them. Love the detailed high end, nothing in the bottom. And don't fall for that "oh you need a better seal" line. I had custom ear molds made by an audiologist. Didn't help. A better amp will result in a lower noise floor.

I agree. iOS4 made my 3G unusable. I don't use that word lightly.

Maybe what the world needs is an AirPlay compatible headphone amp (with power supply) capable of driving heavy loads.

@tamaudio The short answer is no, not usually. Certainly not from Apple. Portable audio is typically used under ambient conditions that mask their subpar performance. Isolation earphones push down the ambient noisefloor enough to notice these deficiencies, so you hear things like the headphone amplifier powering up…

That's because it isn't right. I have a set of Westtone 3s and they easily reveal the high noise floor of the iPhone/iPod/most portable mp3 players. As do many other isolation earphone designs.

Please explain why Apple Lossless is craptastic.

The cloud doesn't work for media creators. If you work on music (audio tracks, huge sample libraries) or video, these things need to be local.

After years of falsely lighting tubes with LEDs, engineers, er, marketing departments have suddenly come up with a practical application for the practice.

Sorry. I can't hear you above my 14 years professional experience in the audio software industry.

Uh huh. You know what would affect the sound quality more? Using better drivers. You know the reason why the high frequency response isn't that great? Because the high frequencies aren't represented that well on the drivers in the first place. All the enclosure muckity-muck can't synthesize what is missing from the…

Get Calibre. It is a free ebook manager / library app that autoconverts documents and uploads them to your kindle/ereader device. PDFs, TXT, RTF, other book formats, go nuts.

So he changed everything except the part that actually generates the sound? All of this money is spent on the appearance of the headphones. There isn't anything done to improve the quality of the audio. Oh, I'm sure the cables are crafted with pure audiophile oxygen-free bullshit or something.

I wonder if information could be encoded as neutrinos and travel faster than light.
