Roland RH-A30 headphones, Fosi Audio Q4 and a 2022 Kindle Fire HD 8, streaming from Amazon Unlimited. This will end up going to my office next week. It's nice to have some tunes to listen to while I work!

Hardware cost me less than $350, and it sounds pretty great. Not too shabby!

I've never heard of these Headphones. Where are they from and whats their sound like?

Does your Fire have Problems streaming to the fosi? Mine is bugging down heavily when I try to use my external HiBy DAC and Tidal MQA...

Roland has been making audio equipment (mostly for making music) for decades. These were about $190 after taxes in Amazon. Overall, they're pretty neutral with a slight emphasis on the mids. I use the Fosi to slightly bump up the bass and slightly lower the treble. I am still getting to know the headphones, and plan to write something up once I've had more time with them.

The Q4 and the DS1 both work flawlessly from all of my devices that have a USB-C port. The Q4 is connected via a USB-C C to USB-B cable, and powered by a cell phone charger. The K5, on the other hand doesn't like my tablets at all (they can't drive it.)

Thank you! Very interesting.

Does the headphone only look like metal or is it really a heavy headphone?
