HiFi/Audio/Video equipment on Ali/eBay/whatever - Like Ra - 29 Oct 2017
I've just read a review on Tronsmart Encore S6 Bluetooth Headphones with Active Noise Cancelling and I'm interested.
At 60 euros they are several time cheaper than Bose, but soundwise I've heard no complaints. Of course, do not expect a high-end sound quality, but for watching youtube, listening for music in a noisy environment, or enjoying an unpredictable hypno session while walking handcuffed through a forest they should be perfect.

Just bought highly praised audio stuff from Ali. Let's see if they meet the expectations:
Topping DX3 Pro DAC + phone amplifier
Optilink 5 toslink GLASS(! not plastic!) fibre cable
Colleimage QED replica USB cable
I wonder if the DX3 can lock at hi-rez (24 x 192kHz+) via the TOSLINK cable.

I'm looking for a decent pair of headphones. Having Audiophilia Neurosa in the anamnesis I do not to spend "too much" on them as I would some years ago. I'd like to have closed phones (goodbye planars π and 80-85% of all models) with replaceable a cable (goodbye Beyerdynamic π ) without any noise cancelling, Bluetooth, etc. I was thinking about eBay: Meze 99 Classics, but stumbled upon rave reviews (e.g. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/takstar-pro-82-gm200-review-impressions-and-discussion-thread.849965/) for Chinese Takstar Pro 82 v2. They cost around $60 and (according to the reviews) should be considered if you are going to spend upto $300. Thinking ... π€

BTW, DHL delivered them (again!) to a completely different address on another street π Good girls brought them to me. But I did complain to DHL. Terrible situation - basically you can't prove anything. They are officially delivered.
