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

Quote: Yes, but I have beyerdynamic dt770 250 OHM and I can listen to it with 0db gain and about 30 - 40 volume or 6db with lower volume. They are definatly not IEMs. I'm not sure how loud you guys listen to your music!  I think it might be better to listen on 0db gain with higher volume...

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...

No, I don't hear noise when nothing is playing. I did a short time ago, but that was because the cable was ****ed and I sent them back to beyer to be repaired. 

By the way what's the best ratio for windows to winamp volumes. Does it make a difference? I thought of it as winamp is the source and windows is like an amplifier volume but maybe it makes no difference. I did 80% winamp and whatever volume I want to listen at windows. Am I being a noobie...

Yes, I am pretty sure I can hear noise at loud volumes (other than the music of course). so what you mean is feed the male from the headphone to the microphone port and then do the thing where you invert the audio against the real song. If I hear noise then something is going wrong with the...

Hi guys. On my desktop computer my soundcard is some kind of realtek card. I think it must have a pretty powerful amp in it as loud for me is winamp at 80% and windows at 40%. If I put it up full volume it would blow my headphones for sure... I have Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 250OHM. My question is...

The 770 pros have a different sound, unlike the 880s which are the same as the premium except the clamp tension. They aren't too bad for me, I just think they would be more comfortable if most of the weight was of the headband and not the earcups. 

I have seen people saying that you can do this. Do you  need to undo the star shaped screws connecting it to the headband and alter the angle or is it just not possible?

I guess ask a question there because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of response here. The person  there seems to know what he is doing...

I ordered mine on the second day of pre-order and mine have been pushed back to mid of february... either these are a massive sellout or they shafted me lol    Oh well doesn't really affect me that much as my beyers are going for repairs :-{

Hopefully I don't break them first! lol  . IDK why they made the holes different sizes

I think it would help if you said what sort of sounds you want to listen to. I think that ear buds tend to be uncomfortable for long listening times and isolate less so maybe canal phones. On the other hand that might be a bad thing if you are walking or riding etc as you won't hear sounds like...
