Hey, yep I just use the green headphone out. Lol, holy crap, I just tried using the line-out with the T3 and the hiss is way less. Weird, at first I turned the volume on the amp up and that just increased the hiss as usual, but if I increase the X-Fi volume the hiss stays fairly low.  ...

  It's definitely hiss, and no, the Moonlight Sonata has no words. The noise is always in the background, and it just becomes more obvious in quieter songs, so I guess that's hiss?   I've have a T3 amp which eliminates hiss on my ipod (through a LOD), but when I use it from my X-Fi...

Aww, there's a patent on oval tips? That sucks! Anyway, the Shure olives are the next best thing. Managed to squeeze them on by stretching the inner tubes with needle pliers. Sound has improved a little too.   I'm finding that the while the overall SQ is great (love the V shape), soundstage...

I gotta say, amping improves these A LOT. I'm quite impressed with them combined with a T3. Really the only little thing wrong with them now is the soundstage, but if it's typical I guess that explains it.   I tried using the big biflanges, but they just won't stay in. I thought I had...

Oh right, forgot to mention bitrate. Most of my stuff is at least 192kbps, usually higher, but it doesn't seem to affect the hiss at all. I mean they hiss when there's no music playing, so I'm sure it's not the music.    I'm not sure how much burn-in will affect the hiss since they were...

I just got mine and I'm finding they hiss quite a bit compared to my other earphones. I can hear it over the music a lot of the time, and it's quite annoying during quieter songs. Maybe I'm just sensitive, but to my ears the Klipsch S4 and RE0 don't hiss at all.   My sources are my USB...

Wow, no comments. Too long? Basically I just want to know if the soundstage and depth can be improved on the RE0 with tips and/or an amp as I find them lacking.   In other news, I just got my Pana HJE900's today as well, and they are AWESOME!!! So happy with them, plus they look cool too ...

Hiiii everybody!   As some will know, I bought a pair not long ago based on stellar reviews and recommendations and have been burning them in all week (I'd say at least 100 hours). I was pretty disappointed with them out of the box, but I was immediately impressed by the detail and highs...

Hey Confispect, how come your opinion changed so dramatically!? I'd bought a pair on FS forum, and after reading your initial impression I was a little worried. Was it just burn-in? (psychological or otherwise). I can't understand how you can go from almost bagging it out, to thinking they're...

I was tossing up between the hybrids and olives too, so I bought both . I reeeally hope these will improve the bass impact.   My observations on RE0 tips/fit: For me, the smaller bi-flange are the only ones included that will fit properly AND have good SQ. The medium single flange will fit...

Hey, thanks for the support Negakinu (I keep wanting to call you Akeginu from the Basilisk anime). I like the idea of a cmoyBB, there's a guy that makes them in Australia, they cost a little less than the JDS ones, but he seems trustworthy. I'm bidding on one now! I had no idea the line for...

I've read so much about the DDMs I was almost set on getting a pair to go with my RE0's. They seem so... mysterious somehow. Plus they're Japanese!   Unfortunately, I just got a good deal on some Panasonic HJE900s that I also wanted and I really can't justify a 3rd pair right now, however...

Lol, you must really like the DDMs then.   I think the current DDMs are OK, if a little unwieldy looking, but those new ones look impossible to sleep in. The knob that sticks out looks completely unnecessary.   If they don't phase out the current DDMs, maybe I'll get them when they...

Wait, so is that what the new model DDMs coming out this year will look like?! Nooooo! They're even bigger than the current ones...   I've been meaning to get these since I first read about them. Given what the 'improved' ones will look like, do you recommend getting the current version? Is...

Yeah that's the one. The guy's eBay name is fred_fre_2004. I asked him whether it's the same as the cmoyBB by JDS, and he said yeah same components etc. and there shouldn't be a difference. Hopin' to pick up a bargain!
