Ben, great job with this video. Your information was exactly what I was looking for. @2:35, nobody else mention how the $9 Apple headphone 3.5 mm adapter includes a built-in DAC. Thank you for posting that! Belkin also makes a 3.5 mm adapter but that is $39(mostly because you can charge at the same time as plugging in your headphones). For now I'm using the Apple EarPods to take advantage of the lossless music. They are comfortable and I can wear them for extended periods. Keep up the great work

[@b3naqua]

Glad it was helpful! Yeah that cheap headphones adapter from Apple is the best budget DAC imo! It sounds awesome.

[@rosenovai]

Nice! My EarPods stopped receiving sound on the right side. Here in Brazil, technical assistance is not worth it. I'll buy new ones to take advantage of Apple Music's Lossless Audio for now.

Im used to listening to Apple Music on my Airpods and happy about it.

Hey I know it’s been a while since you’ve uploaded this but if you do reply, I have a question. Overall, in a comfort and a better audio quality/listening experience standpoint, would you recommend the Fiio IEM or the ATH M50xBT? Thank you for your time.

[@b3naqua]

I’d recommend the ATH-M50xBT for overall listening. I still use them a ton, probably more than my Fiio IEMs, which get kinda hot and moist lol. I generally prefer over-ear headphones for this reason, since they allow ears to breathe and are more comfortable for longer periods of listening imo.

[@donpatrickgacutan7972]

Hi Ben! Its me again, I have another concern and would appreciate your opinion. The Fiio FH3 has so many great reviews but the price is quite out of my budget. At the same time, I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews about the CCA CA16 which has a 7BA+1DD as compared to the FH3’s 2BA+1DD. I’ve also heard many good review about the Moondrop Aria. Now, between the 3 - the Fiio FH3, the CCA CA16 and the Moondrop Aria, which one is best for you and why? Highly appreciate your expertise on this please? Thanks so much in advance!

[@b3naqua]

Hey Don! I haven't tried the CCA or Aria, but I did try the Moondrop Starfield and the FH3 sounds wayyyy better imo. The Starfield was good too, but the FH3 sounded more detailed, clean, and exciting to me. FH3 also feels a lot more premium too in terms of build quality and the included robust cable.

[@donpatrickgacutan7972]

@@b3naqua Hi, Ben! Appreciate your response! Thanks, man! Yeah, been hearing a lot of good stuff about the FH3’s, its just that the price is way off my charts. I was thinking, with that price, will it be better to opt for an over-ear headphones instead? More power to you, bro! 👍😊

[@b3naqua]

It’s really subjective cuz some people prefer over the ear headphones more than earbuds, and vice versa. I like both, but I tend to prefer over the ear headphones more cuz they’re easier to put on/take off. So I’d suggest trying a pair of the FH3s out to see if you like them, then return them if you don’t!

[@ngmichel947]

For me, the better the source song file is, the better will be the sound. Ofc if it is in wireless, you will loose some data’s from the initial file because of the compression especially from Apple’s ecosystem that only supports AAC codec which is (clearly) not the best one in the game as it compress very harshly the source. If you really want to enjoy the full experience in the audio you have to use a DAC and a very good wire headphones !

Hi Ben! Loved your review here! You made me very interested in the Fiio FH3. Im just starting to appreciate Apple Music’s lossless audio.

Thanks so much in advance and more power! 👍😊

[@b3naqua]

Thanks! The FH3 will need some type of DAC if your device doesn’t have a headphone jack since its connection is 3.5mm. I think getting a nice DAC will improve the fidelity and cleanliness of the audio file. I’d suggest trying the FH3 out with the cheap lightning to headphones adapter!

[@donpatrickgacutan7972]

@@b3naqua I see! I downloaded a lot of lossless and hi-res lossless songs and listen to them in my airpods pro while jogging, and i appreciate it already at that quality. One time my airpods went low on batt so i used the old wired pods, and man, what a difference! Im thinking if the old pods blew my mind, what more with an IEM, right? But I dont have much cash on me and im really just beginning, so maybe i can try using just a lightning to 3.5mm cable first, see if the phone alone can power up the IEMs and maybe later buy a cheap DAC. Thanks so much, Ben and more power! 👍😊

But I see that this adapter only supports 24 bit/48kHz, so I won't be able to play music with hi-res lossless then?

Correct! The FH3s still sound really amazing at the mid-tier 24/48 lossless quality with the lightning connector into the iPhone. High-res lossless sounds even spicier but the differences are extremely subtle tbh

Good Q! According to Apple (support.apple.com/en-us/HT212183), AirPods Max doesn’t support lossless: “The Lightning to 3.5 mm Audio Cable was designed to allow AirPods Max to connect to analog sources for listening to movies and music. AirPods Max can be connected to devices playing Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless recordings with exceptional audio quality. However, given the analog-to-digital conversion in the cable, the playback will not be completely lossless.” So confusing 😵‍💫

@@b3naqua so should we expect Apple to come up with a cable designed for lossless audio for the Airpods Max?

[@super_hero2]

@@christiananasco8937 They are bringing lossless to HomePod, so there is a chance that they can make hi-res lossless wirelessly to the APM. We can dream :))

[@waltersolt8248]

You have to open music and go to preferences and go to playback and turn on hi res lossless. Then you will want to get a desktop dac like the if I zen back or the khadas tone2pro or the audio quest dragonfly

[@b3naqua]

A lot of people in my comments in India are saying they don't have spatial or lossless audio yet for some reason, idk why

[@Pupuzela]

Short answer: Yes, but only up to lossless, no hi-res lossless.
