I'm interested to see what you guys think are the most comfortable headphones. I have beyer dt 770s and they are pretty comfortable I think. 

One of my friends has recently purchased beats studio headphones. I had a listen to them the other day and they seem really bad for the price. If he asked me I would have suggested ultrasone pro 900s but he didn't. I think I should teach him something so he doesn't make the same mistake again...

It is, because otherwise you would be double amping. I can't remember for sure, but i'm pretty sure that switch is for if you want to use the EQ (or the amp) on a dock.

If anyone was wondering - The e17 is fully supported on the windows 8 consumer preview. Probably slightly better than windows 7 even because it's faster at fetching drivers. 

Yes, they send mine right after I complained :D

I have been wondering what does the gain setting do? Is it better to have it low and the volume higher? I 

Hey, guys. Just got my e17 today from mp4nation. The free gift was defective though :-( see the thread in the IEM section if you want to know more. It's pretty good so far. 

No coverage whatsoever. 

I got my Fiio e17 from mp4nation.net and I got it with beta brainwavez. The brainwavez are broken in one ear and there is no replacements on gifts. If your going to buy from mp4nation.net I suggest not taking free gifts into account as they are probably the ones that get sent back. At lease I...

Say that you ordered it really early and they might send it out right away like they did with me. They have live chat support on their website at certain times. 

Well I have had a quite funny experience with mp4nation support chat. I asked them whether the middle of February was the time it would arrive at my house approximately, or when it would arrive at their warehouse. They informed me that it would be delayed until march. I said that it was really...

Just wondering in my audio settings what should I pick as my default format? I have beyerdynamic dt770 headphones listening through the 3.5mm jack on my computer. Example 24 bits, 192000 hz . What is the difference between these? sorry  I am a noobie. Also does it matter what ratio my winamp...
