Default FiiO Rox my HD205

Picked up FiiO for $12 today just before stepping out for F1 Night Race.


on the way back home i put them with my HD205 on the bus.

I was surprised.. the Bass was much balanced out & Upper mids were more refined.. they almost sounded like HD485 with FiiO amps.

How many here find these FiiO E3 are little monsters ?

Come on, you mean mid bass is boosted and highs are rolled off.

Well for starter, do look into the Fiio gigantic thread.
