A100 Shuts Down during playback

Hi, I have an issue with my A100. It has happened to me a couple of times now where it seems to shut down during playback or call.

After it shut down during a call previously, I turned off Auto Power Off by setting it to never and didn't have any issues anymore until I re-enabled it as a test.

Steps to reproduce:

- It was already on and Auto Shut Down set to never

- I set it to shut down in 30min

- Started a timer for 30 min and after continuously playing for some time it suddenly shut down.

- When I checked the timer it had 20 seconds left on the clock, likely because it took me a few seconds to find the timer and set it.

Has anyone had this issue ? If it is a bug it would be nice to have it fixed because I love the sound of it and it's my daily driver. Thanks.

Comfort of P100SE getting better after some time?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy over-ear headphones and I especially focus on the following models: B&W Px7S3, B&W Px8, Bose QC Ultra 2.gen, CA P100 SE

I managed to test the P100SE and the Px7S3 in a headphone store. The px7s3 were really comfortable and the sound was good but very much too v-shaped. The P100 SE just were amazing with their sound and also the ANC performance but they are quite heavy and I found them to be uncomfortable. I think it's mostly due to the weight and the headband and I wanted to ask the following:

Did the comfort of the P100SE get better for you, after you used them for some weeks?*

* For reference: I have pretty small ears and a rather small head.

I really want to buy these headphones but I might have to go for the Bose QCU2 or Px7S3 if the comfort really doesn't get better / one gets used to it after some time.

Thank you all in advance for your comments.
Have a nice day and a lovely weekend.

Axa25 or Axa35

Hi I am relatively new to the audiophile space and was wondering what would be best to pair with my wharfedale diamond 12.3i's as I couldn't figure it out myself. Price is not a concern between these two. Thanks

Active VS. Passive Speakers - What's the Difference?

We've been making passive speakers and amplifiers for decades, so when we decided to make active speakers, we wanted to get it right.

Alex and Oscar sit down to talk through the key differences between active and passive, who each type suits, and take a closer look at the L/R range. Worth a watch if you're exploring your options!

Also really worth listening to these in person, as I genuinely think you're going to like them. Anyone got their eye on an orange pair? 👀
