You may have to get the battery changed (may cost 3-4K) and make sure it doesn't show any errors like F02 while starting up.

@@TechReflex thanks for the info

Probably not.

I don't think that anyone, including HPZ is claiming that this is a new product or is superior to the regular version in any way. When I constantly referred to "pureplay series having a distinct aesthetic", and "audiophiles keep raving about the quality of this series", I did assume that people who are familiar with Lypertek would know about them. I also don't understand your issues with the marketing here, because I don't think anyone is claiming that the HPZ version of any product is better/has more features than the regular version. It's more like HPZ giving it a recommendation by getting their own logo added to it, and them also being big enough that brands are ready to make customized items for their store. With a quick google search, anyone can find the regular versions as well, so doesn't make sense to 'hide' that part intentionally in videos. Also, why do you think that by default a products 'should' have some cons? This isn't a smartphone, it's just a basic earbud, if it delivers is most areas where would you find a 'con'? I had included a long rant about the app being bad, but then I found the info on their website that they declared that their version just doesn't support the app, which may have been done to just avoid the discussion of the app altogether. And I did mention about the interference noise.

I didn't say you or HZ is claiming that this is a new/superior product. However, is that the same as choosing to omit the disclaimer in a review of said product that this is only a rebranding and a minor one at that? Secondly, you are referring to a series of products (per your admittance), why not the product itself. Can you see why this might cause confusion to an average Joe who might not be familiar with Lypertek or their recent offerings? It's a simple thing, instead of raving about the series, it would have been easier and clearer for the viewer if you just said that the Pureplay Z3 has been around and has proved itself over these years. #2 "I also don't understand your issues with the marketing here, because I don't think anyone is claiming that the HPZ version of any product is better/has more features than the regular version. It's more like HPZ giving it a recommendation by getting their own logo added to it, and them also being big enough that brands are ready to make customized items for their store." Simple question to you - You wouldn't raise an eyebrow if Samsung for example, re-introduced the original Buds Pro, no matter how good they were at the time, made no improvements to any of the features and yet added an Amazon logo and marketed them again 4 years later and reviewers make no mention of the fact that they have been around for a while? All I'm saying is this move raises red flags for me and I've seen a couple of comments here itself reflecting the same sentiment. HZ is a business enterprise and they are well within their rights to use any legal marketing strategy to sell more units of a product. I do not have an issue with the strategy they used, however, I do have an issue with reviewers brushing off this detail as something that should have been understood and not mention it even as a piece of information that the consumer should be aware of. If this is a paid promotion, which I'm sure is a necessary part of any business and there's nothing wrong with that as long as there is a disclaimer in the video itself. If it's not a paid promotion, I don't understand why reviewers would omit such a detail. #3 "With a quick google search, anyone can find the regular versions as well, so doesn't make sense to 'hide' that part intentionally in videos." I'll take your word for it and perform a search. This is what I get from a "quick" google search in India. In the top 10 search results, 3 are from HZ promoting the product, 2 from Lypertek themselves and 5 from various reviews around the world published in 2021. I'm not sure how this google search would have helped me figure out if this is indeed a new product or just a minor rebranding of something that was launched years back. Forgive me, if you think it's that simple and SEO is not a thing that brands do for marketing, you might be a little out of touch with consumer ground reality. #4 "Also, why do you think that by default a products 'should' have some cons?

And I did mention about the interference noise." If buying consumer electronics has taught us anything especially as Indians, be it a smartphone or a "basic" earbud (although I don't think there's anything basic about the technology behind them), it's that everything has flaws and nothing is perfect. If someone pushes a product and says there are no flaws or as in this case, mention a flaw which people have been complaining for years about (reflected in the app's reviews), but absolve the seller just because they declared on their website that app support is absent, now we're back to the illusion that the product has no flaws. I get that these are targeted towards audiophiles, but not even a mention of the call quality, fit and comfort, connectivity, firmware updates, etc.? You will forgive me again if I don't think this review is balanced. These points are critical, but they are meant to be constructive for a review. Please see them as they are if you can. The seller/brand can market their products however they wish, it will always be my responsibility aided by reviewers like you to make good purchasing decisions for the hard-earned money I spend. I might even buy these earbuds, but that's a decision I would take despite knowing their flaws and accepting them because the pros make it a good deal for me. A good way to avoid buyer's remorse.

I think it should.

@@TechReflex thank you so much, if you have the proteus spectrum still then can you try and test the covers? Nice video though.

XLR and RCA can be used at the same time, but volume control will be tied between 2 pairs. PH3/4 and XLR outputs can be used as 4 channel outputs with individual volume and EQ controls between two pairs.

@@TechReflex What does it mean that it will be tied between two couples?

@@RobertoMusu means it will control volume of both pairs at same time, and EQ settings can also not be separated between two pairs.

@@TechReflex So if I would like to use two pairs of different monitors what should I do? I’m very confused about this part here

@@RobertoMusu you can use them, and adjust the volume using the volume control knob on the monitors. You can decrease or increase volume of all monitors at the same time using the ADI device.

Welcome! :)

Haven't tested the latest stuff yet

Yeah, keep the xbass mode turned on

@@TechReflex bass lover ki liye jyda hai

Welcome!

really? did you understand what the guy was saying?

Totally agree, man!

It's better to have a separate device as an audio interface for your mic, and another standalone DAC device. It's not easy to find audiophile level DACs in audio interfaces, and their amps are also pretty meh unless you go high end. The USB interfaces are also power limited as most entry level stuff is USB powered only (which has to manage audio input, output, hp out). Budget audio interfaces like Focusrite Scarlett are really great for audio input, and they're all that you should need for a long time (I am still using one). Then you could go for another DAC for the audio out like this DAC. Focusrite, Arturia, MOTU are my recommendations for interfaces, and you can watch Sanjay C's channel channel for a detailed comparison.

So the two headphones you mentioned are neither that resolving, or power hungry. The Sennheiser is great in other areas though. There should still be an audible difference between motherboard audio and Zen DAC. You should also use Foobar and use Zen DAC in ASIO/WASAPI mode, because windows mixer kind of muddies things up. Just spend time with all sources, listen to complete track at once, and see if you were able to find audio on Zen DAC to be 'less compressed', smoother than motherboard audio. Try some planar magnetic headphones, or some resolving IEM, and you may be able to hear the difference better.

you should have included subtitles. Your accent if very difficult to deal with.

​@@sauleomarova7730all of my videos including this one has subtitles, you just have to enable it.

Yes, still good. Wired Headphones don't really get outdated.

@@TechReflex thankyou for still replying as this video is old ! Great advice gonna go for it . Thanks you earned a sub :D

Yeah
