Depending on your device, maybe. Some devices need to be updated to the newest developer version of android (http://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html#top) others can run it straight off the bat. My Samsung S4 can natively output USB audio, but my Nexus 7 (2013) can't. Currently flashing it (probably bricking it) to do exactly that.

Cheers, works great. However I'm considering sending the Aune back because the first time I turned it on and left it to warm up, I came back to a bit of smoke from below the tube and an acrid burning smell. It works fine, and sounds great, but I can't be sure what it was without opening it up. If I do that I've got less chance of being able to send it back...

I have no idea why you would buy those.

Huh why? You don't like the colour?
I got them because they are high end headphones with superb sound, great design, very comfortable and massively reduced in price.

They're middling headphones with a fancy brand name. You've made a pretty poor purchase.

really? because I read some reviews and apparently these are way up there with the B&W P7, Senn momentum and all that. So at this marked down price they should be a no brainer.

What kind of music do you listen to, N1FFF?

Mainly just whatever is in the charts so Pop, RnB, Club tunes. Why?
I know these B&O have a weaker bass than say Beats but I don't mind a lower bass.

I had the chance to visit Bowers and Wilkins' headquarters last week and had a whistlestop tour of their whole range (including their £200,000 cinema room :datass:

). We get a supplier discount with them, so I invested in a pair of P3's:

So nice. And they sound so much better than my in-ear Sennheiser's already. Wanted some decent proper headphones but I look ridiculous in over-ear ones. Probably wouldn't pay full price for them (I don't really see the point of spending £100+ on iPhone headphones), but they're still lovely :wub:

I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase. H6's (apparently) have a very clear, flat response that will let you hear heavily produced music as intended. They're a better choice than beats.

I've let the Aune burn-in a bit and the combination with the SR325is is amazing for the kind of music I listen to. I can't really imagine a better sound. I'm considering picking up a couple of tubes to try out but generally I'm going to be happy with this setup for a long time.

is that your own dac? Nice setup!

Looking at getting a set of these, any good?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica- ... B000ULAP4U

They're universally praised, I considered a set myself but I couldn't justify a second set beyond by Sennheiser HD25

Stugene was telling me these are the headphones to get:

I dunno man, they look like a toy, I'm not even sure they would work with all music players?

Wait...

Never mind, go for it.

They have TO THE MAX technology as well.

Not to mention BUILT IN HEARING TECHNOLOGY!
