I own the white/silver T+A Solitaire T since Dec '22, and it's one of the best all-in-one and consolidation pieces of audio I have ever purchased! Fantastic sonic profile in any mode, but enhancements going from: ANC Bluetooth, Bluetooth HQ, DAC/amp mode, then better resolving power in fully passive single-ended mode, and finally the ultimate mode, passive balanced! I use either Bluetooth modes when I'm commuting, but in the office or at home I listen to the Solitaire T in balanced operation via my FiiO M17 in DC mode (using an external battery). Sonically, I consider these better than either Meze Audio Liric or any version of the Focal Clear series, but added versatility of passive or wireless operation. Win-win!

@gpapa31 9 месяцев назад

My experience with those two headphones couldn’t be any more different, in terms of sound quality/performance. I tried the T+As side by side along with the Focal Bathys and the 5909s for nearly an hour in a shop and the 5909s easily won on clarity, instrument separation and definition. I tested them with orchestral and classical piano recordings (Yuja Wang Rachmaninov Piano Concert 2) and the amount of detail I could pick on the 5909s was astonishing! Also the clarity on really high notes without fatiguing was very impressive. The T+As were great but for some reason they didn’t stand out. Definitely not for €1,300.

@jonathanoxlade4252 4 месяца назад

And on wired setup then 5909s are still the best under £900 headphones then

@deodatoreyes3430 9 месяцев назад

I’va had the privilege to test out the ML 909 for a few weeks and they are an amazing headphone. The imaging, staging and level of clarity is way more than I expected for a bluetooth headphone. Noise cancelling works well too as I used it while travelling.

@Shaken_AND_Stirred 10 месяцев назад

For anyone that is interested, the Master & Dynamic MW75 headphones are the same as the Mark Levinson 5909. They are $400 less and they also lack some of the CODEC’s that the ML’s have. The beryllium drivers are identical and the FCC filings for both were done at the same time and show the drivers as the same. In fact, the MW75’s and 5909’s are made in the same plant. The accessories other than a slightly different case are identical. If that isn’t enough, the instructions read verbatim in certain sections for each headphone. The headbands are identical, as are, “for the most part”, the overall design of the headphones. Both headphones will go 100% passive when listening to music using the USB C cable. The problem with a lot of BT headphones that can use a cable as well, require that they still be powered on such as the Focal Bathys. If the battery ever fails, the headphones are useless. However, you can still use the 5909’s and MW75’s should the battery go out. The problem should this happen, is that the battery cannot be replaced as I understand it.

@seefeel2043 10 месяцев назад

Correct, they are the same in many aspects. However the issue with MW75 is their noticeably smaller earcups.

@Shaken_AND_Stirred 10 месяцев назад

@maksimliauchuk6791 You’re absolutely correct about the earcup size on the MW75’s. However, for me personally, my ears are not big and they fit fine. With that said, I understand that you can purchase the ear pads to the MW20’s which fit the same on the outside as the MW75’s, but have a larger ear opening. I gathered this information from the news groups that pointed to the information about the MW75’s and 5909’s being from the same factory and almost identical. Cheers!

@TheOneInYellow 10 месяцев назад

Except the T+A Solitaire T, which can be completely run passively in either single-ended or balanced (both cables included). Plus, T+A will replace the battery when necessary. I'm an owner of a pair of the Solitaire T and having the incredible sonics in passive balanced mode be mostly retained in DAC/amp (USB-C) or Bluetooth wireless modes is an engineering feat that many other companies simply do not invest in. By that I mean, most companies who create wireless headphones use DSP to finalise the sonic profile, which is why the electronics must be active all the time. Solitaire T are traditionally engineered, and were created as passive headphones first, then the electronics added, of which the latter were tuned to be as close to the passive sonics mode of the headphones. They stand alone on this, and there are only two non-DSP wireless headphones I'm aware of, both represented in this video!

@archonblaze 9 месяцев назад

Just because two speakers use a similar driver does not mean they will sound the same. The crossover, box, voicing etc can make them sound works apart. It’s the same with headphones drivers. You are misinforming people here by claiming the MW75 is the same as the 5909 just on the basis of using a similar driver.

@sixergixer 9 месяцев назад

John, I frustratingly cannot tell you anywhere else just how informative your podcast chat with Srajan was regarding the Zu DWX. [Instagram would be the simplest, easiest, and most logical place for that kind of feedback, but comments are nixed.] Anyway, you fellows packed a ton of information in your deep dive and provided many nuggets that were helpful to me. I have pretty much locked onto either the DW6 or the DWX as my next speaker and some of these standout gems of info were: Bass qualities with and without a sub, speaker stand experience (beyond that in your review video), special order finishes (trying to get my wife to like them more in our room), and even how well they do with Classical music! Fantastic podcast and I thank you, even though that has to be on this unrelated video.

I don't know about everyone else, but appreciating and enjoying the subtle audiophile nuances requires a level of attention and calm that cannot be reached in the street or the office while drafting reports, much less with the infernal background noise in the tube or an airplane. So... I think my Sennheiser Bluetooth with ANC for US $300 do just fine, thank you very much. 😊

I wore my heavy large audeze lcd x 2021 on walks just to see if many noticed. Some looks but mostly folks don't care. I'm so over what I think others may think as I wear a pair of headphones in public. With all the reduluous pairs I see being worn outdoors you no longer as strange. Plus the quidelx 5x even using Bluetooth doesn't suck. And once you eq the lcd x to yoir liking it sounds terrific! No need for active noise cancellations here!

I appreciate you feeling self-conscious about how you might look while wearing monster cans. Personally, I don't care about much what other people think of my appearance. What I DO care about while wearing cans or IEMs, is someone sneaking up from behind and ripping these devices from my ears. I only wear these in areas where I feel safe. Perhaps you don't have this issue in Berlin and your Portugal location? Thanks for your report!

Hi John. Have you tried the DALI IO4? I think it's a price-performance winner. It can also be used passively and, with its 50 mm drivers, sounds excellent enough for listening to music outside the home. From an aesthetic point of view, it is also pleasantly calm.

Can the ANC be turned off in Bluetooth mode? The pressure from the NC hurts the inner ears for me on other models like the Sonys.

@joshjeffery3464 9 месяцев назад

Good video. Thanks I would like a bit more detail on how the sound improves (or doesn’t) when these headphones are used in wired form as I suspect a lot of people may use these on the go with a separate Dac or headphone amp as this is probably the best way to get the best out of them. Appreciate these are Bluetooth headphones but as an audiophile I’m always looking to squeeze better performance out of my gear. All the best.

@jkl0ps 9 месяцев назад

Why not just get a pair of wired headphones so you aren't paying for on board battery/DAC/amplification/etc? Getting wireless headphones and using them with an external DAC, cords, adapters, etc is missing the point, the point being convenience. I recently got Senn Momentum 4's and sold all my other (more expensive) headphone gear within a week. It's just so easy to throw them on, go for a walk, do chores, exercise, toss em in a bag for work, take phone calls, etc. My wired headphones w/ streamer, DAC, and amp were objectively better in every way, but the difference wasn't enough to convince me to keep it all.

@DarkoAudio 9 месяцев назад

Hi JoshJeffery3464. I hear ya. I wanted to include more in this video but with so much to cover we had to cut some of the more audiophile-centric wired stuff. However, I am trying to organise some follow-up coverage from Darko.Audio's US correspondent John Grandberg, which I hope will answer some of your questions. Fingers crossed it pans out as planned.

@chungang7037 9 месяцев назад

THe thing is,if you live in a not so noisy environment you should look at non ANC options. I love my Celestee for walks to work. But for going into the inner city, only the ANC from bose qc45s and the like can handle that level of traffic and city noise, so I skipped all of these high end ANC headphones. Maybe the next gen versions will have better ANC.

@wollaminfaetter 8 месяцев назад

I owned 5909 for a while but sold them again. I am not blind to their qualities, but perhaps deaf. The Sennheiser Momentum 4 is more than I need, and then I don't have to worry so much every time it starts to drizzle.

It is specially noticeable when the music is not playing or pauses for 4 seconds, then they go complete silent. Did someone experience the same problem? I would like to know If that is to be expected or whether is a possible defect with my unit. Great video by the way!

@Adam_StefaniakSaltea_Moonspell 10 месяцев назад

There is some detailed post on one of the Hi-fi Forums referring to this particular model which convinced me to go for Master & Dynamics MW75 which contains identical drivers for a less. By the I've been on MW75 for over a year now, and they are worth the price. The components quality is superb - the only downside is the ANC not as good as the Sonys but on the other hand the Sonys are made of cheap flimsy plastic so unless I have loud kids or fly a lot I really dont care that much.

@matthewhilty4209 10 месяцев назад

The non user replaceable batteries and no LDAC is the show stopper for me with these headphones. If I am going to spend that much on a headphone I want to keep them for years and be able to take advantage of future lossless compatibility.

@Chronospherics 10 месяцев назад

I like them and mostly agree with you but I actually prefer the Bathy's. I think there tonally a bit more to my taste, wider soundstage and generally gives a better sense that I'm listening to a full sized headphone, except its bluetooth and I'm listening to them in the middle of a supermarket. The T&A are technically capable but sound very 'in your head'. Tonally they have some unusual and unpleasant sub-bass elevation which sounds fun some of the time but it's a little too much in others, and the upper high end is a bit dull. I think if you want a headphone with a Harman curve, the Bathy's are better at half the price.

@TimvanderLeeuw 5 месяцев назад

Touch controls.... What is the hang-up so many manufacturers seem to have with touch controls? I find them so, so so annoying. So many times they're so fiddly because my swipes are in slightly the wrong direction. Or just the wrong place. Or whatever. Sometimes they don't seem to register at all. Or they accidentally activate when I rest the headphones down somewhere. Real buttons can usually be told apart by feel before they're accidentally activated.

The black colorway model should be all black…I don’t get why they chose silver to contrast against black. I have no complaints on the sound quality and tuning. The build quality is great but unremarkable especially at its price point. For example…are leather materials used or not? At this price point it should be obvious to use all premium materials.
