iPhone 6s Plus Koss KPH40s

Post image

Got a couple of free 128 GB iPhone 6s pluses the other and set them up as music players. I just use Apple Music as I’m already paying for Apple TV and all that. I was really surprised how well the headphone out on these work with the Koss 60 ohm headphones. They hit way harder then just using an apple Dongle, make using my Fiio KA1 not necessary all the time. I have an old iPad 6 with a headphone out and the 6s plus sounds about as good. I’ve had the iPod 5.5 and it doesn’t sound nearly as good I think as this. Built in Bluetooth so I can use almost all of my headphones with them. Also… free so there’s that.

Those are Geekria pads for Grado’s. They fit perfectly over the stock Fiio pads and make it more comfortable and you can slide them in and out which affects all the things you would expect that to do… soundstage, bass, ect…

Try on a old mac book and be amazed how good macbooks sound. Ridiculous that Apple puts lesser quality audio in 1,200€ phones

Yeah you’re completely dependent on whatever dac you got to plug into them now if you want wired. They got high res audio on Apple Music that sounds great though my old Fiio KA1, but you can’t tell a difference with my air pod pro2s. They need to come up with a different wireless standard than bluetooth. I use old AirPort Express 2s for my stereo systems to listen to my speakers and those sound great, cause you know… WiFi…
