Hi ClieOS/Fellow Headfi-ers,   I was wondering whether anyone could give me any advice for a possible upgrade from my Soundmagic E30. I like it a lot, except I think the isolation just isn't enough, especially since I am commuting a lot more now.   But since I would be upgrading anyway...

Quote:   Haha, well mine isn't slipping too far. And I really like them too much to part with them now! Their comfort level has increased since the last time I posted (although I still don't like to have them on for long periods) and I just really enjoy listening to them.

  Quote:   I'm a newb, and I got to say that even my undistinguishing ears hear a difference and the E10 does make things sound better. But whether it's worth it or not, I agree with wilky61 and jeckyll, it really depends on you. I also agree with the comment that I still like the HM5...

Hi everyone,   Sorry if this has been asked. I have searched this thread and it seems like the FiiO e10 is indeed compatible with Macbook Pros. For some reason there is no response when I plug in my new FiiO to my Mac. The blue light switches on, but my Mac doesn't recognize/realize a new...

:/ MP4nation says it ships from 3-5 working days after order.... but it has been five and there hasn't been a shipment notification yet. ... Considering it's Chinese New Year Easter holidays, I'm guessing that it'll be Monday or Tuesday before they ship. Bummer... I have no proper headphones...

@stevemitchell Wait, I thought "higher impedance" means "harder to drive" while "lower impedance" means "easier to drive." Especially since you say "impedance" basically means "resistance" to the flow of the AC circuit (which I am equating to the music source...?)

Quote: I am not sure if it's still the case, but don't Headfi-ers currently have a (50%!) discount on the Denon D1100? They are supposedly really bass-heavy and have a wide soundstage (to a point some people say it's unnatural for a closed headphone?).   Anyway, relevant links you...

^Is there any particular reason why you wouldn't consider IEMs? I think they are more portable, and more isolating... Also, I think quite a few people have been saying that the FA-003 sounds like the Brainwavz HM5 which are readily available the last time I checked. (Of course if you want the...

^@csm725: I don't think I have the qualifications to give a recommendation, exactly. But I did owe a pair of Denon ahd1001, and they were pretty good all-rounders (imho). The Creative Aurvana Live! apparently sounds exactly the same and is in your price range and quite comfortable, you might...

^Thank you Llloyd and SteveSatch. I have placed an order with a FiiO E10. Stepping up from a AH-D1001. I am praying I'll like these :D

Hey, sorry, I know this question has been asked before, but that was a month or two ago (in Jan and Feb). I just wanted to know if anyone knows MP4nation is still shipping with the carrying case? It's an important deciding factor for me because I have no space to actually hang my headphones...

Edit: The HM5's have been bought. Hopefully I'll like 'em! Quote:   Quote:   Quote: Unfortunately I was unable to buy the Denon D2000s from the buyer after all.  So back to the drawing board! ... Or advice thread. :D    I have been thinking more about it, and it's...

Quote:   Quote:   Thanks for the advice! And sorry for not clarifying whether I opt for open or close headphones. But yes, I do think I would prefer closed headphones more, if only to block out minimal noise/not leak so much. But I am not -against- open headphones, since I...
