I just measured it and it’s a 1.7kHz tone. Pretty low frequency for any switching supplies. It’s almost a pure tone. It’s not the usual random high frequency stuff I’ve heard with bad grounding and cheap sound cards.
A constant tone can be heard.
The DMAS beeps all the time.
I’ve tried other USB ports as well.
The beeping is cruel.
It’s like tinnitus.
I can’t get it off.
It’s like in this video:
To fix my problems I had to pinch the sides of the pogo pins on the dmas earpiece connector with tweezers (so make them stiffer and taller) to make better connection with the pads on the head strap socket. been smooth sailing since then.
How? You opened them? plus im afraid that it might cost half the cost of the Headphones to return it.
Worst part is this horrible refund policy. Even if I wanted to refund it likely would cost 50% of the purchase price to return it.
Returns
Customers can apply for a refund within 15 days after receiving the goods. However, we will deduct the freight to the customer ($50) and the cost of materials that cannot be used for re-sale (for example the foam: $15) from the refund, and the customer needs to bear the returned freight and taxes.
If the return area is beyond the outlets of Pimax after-sales (EU, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, UK, South Korea), the customer will be responsible for the tax which incurred while returning the goods.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
Well, to be fair, he didn’t say that the Quest 2 sounded better, he said that the Quest sounded really good in comparison and was really close. Sounds like when working correctly, the DMAS should have really good mids and highs, with lacking bass.
Have you used them or are you seriously attempting to rebut what I and other who have used them are saying simply using anecdotal experience from another person?
I honestly don’t care what he said, I trust my own ears, these are garbage compared to both the KDMAS and Index nearfield speakers. Transferring the cups from KDMAS over to DMAS and KDMAS still sounds better. The open back speaker design of DMAS means that sound escapes out the back of the speaker, it does vibrate more as a consequence to attain the same level of sound output as KDMAS, and that rattling and popping doesn’t sound good.
Yep, these two 5 star reviews are guaranteed reviews of Pimax employees with alt accounts, there’s no f’ing way anyone would give this garbage 5 stars. Let’s see if you can see my 1 star review there, I doubt it:
No refund means not only will I go out of my way to give this garbage-ware the criticism it deserves but I will also post a review to MY youtube channel.
Hi sethw, thanks for the helpful post. I’d like to give your method a try later tonight.
Could you please confirm what specific problems you had that were resolved?
Did you have the ringing/high pitched constant sound prior to adjusting the connectors?
Why do 2 ppl need to be pimax employees? In my XP if the speakers are closer to ears they might sound much better. In my xp the bass aligns with what you have Said. The overal volume is much lower than it should be at full volume.
Why not try what I mentioned? At a guess as one other user has confirmed the distance to ears is much further than Index. So a person with a rounder head may have a much better experience than you or I have out of the box.
The tone/noise that ppl are reporting is interesting but suggests there maybe noise on the 5v rail/bad ground. Or an issue with the module connection that another user reported.
You have the kdmas have you tried the cushions from it?
Don’t read my post as dissing your experience either. I do honestly believe your having a Poor out of box xp and what you xp is real.
Done test of my DMAS. I’m Music man. I have many professional phones and in ear. I can tell the sound quality are good. but there are too many high tones levels. of course the speaker are distant, no isolate so bass are litte bad… but there is a solution
Volume is ok… but I’m sure there are some situation that need more power because the font (a film or game) can have low power. An example? Play Pavlov… where is the bass ?? ahah
so the suggestion is:
