That chain of adapters for Apple devices 🤣
I'm sure Apple would rather sell you some of their proprietary products instead.
Yeah it’s a bit wild
Mr. Stevens, As usual, you've gifted us with another detailed review of an audio product. Thank you!
Thank you Kevin
Thanks for the great review, Youthman!
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review it.
I’m planning on getting the Barracuda Pros on my birthday and reviewing it. The video will be up on the 20th of September.
As an aside, I experienced a audible difference in power and quality when A and B comparisons between my older iPhone six and my android phone. Not sure if it's a byproduct of the extra camera dongle, but I did hear this difference. It wasn't blatant, but it was present.
I hate apple products. As a desktop support tech i almost have to use an apple phone just so i am familiar with their OS. I will never own a apple laptop. As such its such a bummer how ridiculous it is to try and use a cool product like this with all the janky adapters. Great video as usual Michael, CHEERS!
Thanks Michael. I love my MacBook Air and have no issues with iPhone. The adapters and dongles are a bit ridiculous though 🤣
@@Youthman I use an adapter with the iPhone and it sounds amazing (although not important, I use the TC28i ddHiFi adapter). When I use the Onyx directly with a USB-C iPad Pro (12 inch 2020) or Macbook Pro (15 inch 2016) I get a lot of static, sounds awful. Is it just me?
Nice review. Somewhat reminiscent of the Oppo planar headphones and amp/DAC combo on a smaller scale.
Great review, but thinking about THX I wonder how do they work with movies. And if its possible to use it with dolby atmos for head phones ?
I would think this is only capable of 2ch
I bought one of the apple lightning to usb and it had charging capability but it works it is apple branded as well
My legacy 900s ear cups fell apart within 3 months. They sound really good though.
And started wearing out about four months ago. I ordered a new set from their website. Fortunately, they’re inexpensive.
Other apple adapters work with it. Same with unoriginal ones. Have it and tried it
That’s good to know. I was advised otherwise by THX
Can you play it through a integrated amplifier and speakers would you get the same quality as the headphones
This would've been nice while mowing today! 🤣
What other DAC/HP amps have you used before YM?
This was my first experience with a headphone DAC so I don’t have anything to compare it to
@@Youthman ... This THX Onyx looks to be both premium and beginner for sure. Not a bad thing.
Been rocking Creative G6 a few years now. It's a versatile little guy, if you want another item to try!
@@Youthman If you want to try another small DAC/AMP like this one check out the Creative SXFI AMP.
DDhifi tc28i work with thx onyx and iPhone
Have you tried the Onyx directly into a USB-C iPad or MacBook. It's so distorted for me, sounds worse than bluetooth. Is it just me or?
Whats the best one to use with tidal on iphone and anthem amp and use anthem dac ?
Thanks
Thank you Mandisi for the Super Thanks!
*Durability Concern*
I've had two devices with THX linear amplification in them, the Onyx and Fiio Q3. Both have ended up blowing out and the treble ended up absolutely horrenduous sounding.
Just get an Apple dongle or Schiit Fulla 3 for gaming, both are cheaper and 99% of people won't ever tell the difference.
Lovely
Hi sir
Can you use this just for stereo speakes, or just meant for head phones
They are mostly designed for headphones. I’m not sure if it has enough power to drive a pair of bookshelf speakers. Then you would have to also figure out how to connect them
Ok thanks, so like a dragon fly cobalt, but with THX power
Be afraid to use it? Is it gonna have a deep note shit in that thing?!
You never know
Thanks brother 🙏 💙 God bless you and Jesus loves you. I am buying an onyx.
Thanks brother. Jesus loves everyone.
Iphone usbC coming soon
Razer Inc. owns THX now. So its not the same company as it used to be.
Many companies are no longer owned by the original owners.
@@Youthman right, wasn’t saying as a bad or good thing. Just noting a fact.
Same here. It’s just the nature of corporations.
👏👏👏
Lightning is just the worst.
Seems to work just fine for me.
@@Youthman not without your dongles!
Yes, I could do without the required dongles. 👍
