What android device are you using? What I want to know is if you are able to scroll through movies or documentaries etc, move from one category to another and see all the things in that category easily. And how does that work, gesture-wise from a talkback point of view? My problem with Netflix on

Theese phones are still nice on portable devices, but way nicer with the addition of that headphone amp. And their size and long cable do m

Yep I agree with most of that and most of the AV Receivers these days have very nice headphone amps that come part of the parcel. When I can I’m going to the Addicted To Audio store to listen again to these cans as well as the Senheiser cans used as a comparison. > On 27 Oct 2015, at 1:14 PM, M

Well, I haven't tried the ios app in the last couple months, and I thnk there may have been a so-called upgrade in there. I have an old Nexus 7.
