    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote:   When will the new ones be available for purchase? I just got my E12 yesterday and as much as I like the subtlety of the bass boost, I think I would prefer one of the new design. If it will be available soon then I would like to return the one I have.

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote: Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'm really thinking they're going to be my next set. I'm really psyched to get a pair of orthos.  Quote: I thought I would need the extra bass boost, but I was proved wrong. If it helps any, I'm pairing the amp with mainly my Sony Z1000 and...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote: Off topic, but how do you like those HE-400s? They are at the top of my short list for my next pair of cans. I really want a decent open pair, all I have right now for opens are AKG k240s and I am not happy with them at all. The HE-400, DT-990, HD-650, and SR-325i are what I'm...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote: Well like I said, it is a complaint but it's not a complaint. I'm just being nitpicky. If the battery life is what people are saying it is (which I have no reason to doubt), coupled with the beautiful sound quality, then the size of it is more than acceptable. You guys really made an...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote: Honestly man, for the price of the E12, you'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding amp. Admittedly, I have only heard a few and I am relatively new to the audiophile world (I consider myself to be an enthusiast, not an audiophile), but I've been working in home and commercial...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Just got my E12!!!  So far so good, this is a really nice and classy piece of equipment. I was worried that the bass boost wasn't going to enough but I think the way it is implemented is beautiful- it adds a certain richness/lushness to the sound that makes it far more enjoyable to listen to...

    Quote: FIrst time I've heard it, sounds good! It's definitely a Hypocrisy song, that's for sure. Gotta give it a few more listens and a drive test before I can give my full, honest opinion.

    Quote: Man, they have so many good albums that it's hard to recommend just one.  My favorites are probably Hypocrisy, FInal Chapter, and Abducted. Pretty big fan of The Arrival too, if only for the song The Abyss. Oh, can't forget Fourth Dimension- Apocalypse is one of the best MDM songs...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote: Yep. I still have a couple that are completely spam free but I only use them for work and gmail syncing. The one that got hit is my primary account that I use for trusted website logins. Chrome auto-filled it in and I forgot to change it to a different one. Hopefully there won't be a...

    Need closed headphones under $600

    I have and love the Sony MDR-Z1000. They've been d/c'd but you can still find them for around $500. I listen to metal, and just starting to get into SOME electronic- specifically Lindsay Sterling's dubstep violin tracks which sound simply amazing out of these things. They have great isolation (I...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    So I just ordered my E12 from the micca store last night, which I am very excited about.  But I must warn everyone, DO NOT use your good email addresses when you order from them. I did, and after 5 years of spam free operation I got my first piece of spam this morning. It could be pure...

    Headphones you regretted buying the most

    ATH-M50. I'll never understand the praise they receive. Gave mine away to a friend the other day. At least they were cheap.

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    Quote: Agreed. I have a Fiio e11 and the bass boost does just that- it boosts the bass. It has very little if any noticeable effect on mids. I keep mine on the 1 setting at all times.   I am very much looking forward to the release of the e12. You bet I will be ordering it the moment...

    All the headphones at the Apple Store sound terrible.

    Quote: Agreed. I have them and though I don't use them much anymore, their sound sig is quite nice. Warm and very musical. Not to mention the fact that the memory foam and sheep leather earpads feel like a fat lady's ample bossom being pressed ever so delicately against your ear.

    MDR-Z1000 new Sony flagship headphones

    Quote: Where can I find this case you speak of? I've been looking for a hard case for my Z1000s so I don't have to worry about breaking them when I travel. The pouch just doesn't cut it.
