FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread
Just real quick, the FA19 has a uniquely fuller overall sound in the bass and the mids than in the FH9. There is no placebo effect, it's an obvious upgrade. And while there is always certain undeniable warmth to dynamic drivers for bass and sub bass, the four "vented" BA drivers used for bass...- ericp10

FiiO Hybrid IEMs Discussion & Impressions Thread
It's not a hybrid, but I'm about to see how Fiio's new King compares (just came in). :beerchug: Beautiful shells! My photo does it no justice!- ericp10

Aful Performer Impressions Thread
I have the P5, and more recently, I purchased the P8 (I own the Thieaudio Monarch 3, which is my favorite right now, and have the Fiio FA19 coming, along with the IO Audio Volare). I must admit I find the P8 quite the performer (no pun intended) for the price. I hardly ever listen to the P5...- ericp10

SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2
After about five months with four DAPs mentioned above, to my surprise, the Sony WM1AM2 is the clear favorite! It just has a warmth and lush sounds that reminds me of some of the best high-end audiophile systems I've heard in my lifetime. Next would be the AK SP2000T and then the Fiio M11 Plus...- ericp10

SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2
Well, I went DAP-crazy over the holidays and picked up the WM1AM2 along with the Astell&Kern SP2000T and A&K SR35 (for portable) use. Oh, I picked up a Fiio M11Plus too about a month earlier (I love different sound signatures). The SP2000T is superb with its hybrid tube amp, but I think right...- ericp10

Thieaudio Monarch MKIII impressions, reviews, and pictures thread
I've been away for a minute, Head-Fi family, but a package holding these jewels made its way to my doorstep yesterday. I'm using an old Plenue DAP I found in one of my underwear drawers, and right now I'm listening to Barry White's "Playing Your Game Baby"! And those who know me know I am a...- ericp10

FiiO&JadeAudio Over-Ear Headphones Discussion & Impressions Thread
I don't. The earpads aren't any smaller than the average full-sized cans. The Focal Clear's pads, however, are wider (for what it's worth). And there is just the right amount of clamp forth and fell somewhat light across the head and over the ears. For me, they are comfortable.- ericp10

FiiO&JadeAudio Over-Ear Headphones Discussion & Impressions Thread
Let me get this out of the way: I believe in burn-in and I believe most headphones and earphones can change drastically after 50-100 hours of the process. With that stated, initial impressions of the FT3 are very impressive! FiiO continues on its trend upward with its sound visions! I would say...- ericp10

you must keep two headphones only
Right now I'm really digging the KLH Ultimate One (a severely underrated headphone). I like many of Z reviews, but he totally missed the boat on these during his youtube review a few years ago. Second one? Hmmm? Tough. I need to think about it a little longer (I like Thinksound ov21, NAD Viso...- ericp10
