I am not an audiophile, but I purchased the M2s, DT Symphony 1 and Sony 1ABT, and I am the cheapest man in town too. The DT and the Sony were a cool $100 cheaper, but the M2s gave up the best sound, and I returned the others..Now, I have the Rev 2,and still rolling strong..

@HotShotMedic, you are correct, I was just repeating what I heard, and since they were dishing out a revised version, I had to get on board.   Bottom line, if they didn't come out with a new improved version, I was still a happy camper.. I was getting some interference on BT when I pass heavy...

I got my new replacements under warranty yesterday. I am on the east coast, and yes, I  am caught in  that big snow. So, I haven't been outside since yesterday. I charged them up, after that  paired them with my Note 4.  My old M2, the cushions seemed a little softer, but that could be because...

I haven't got mine back yet, but the return process seems to take about 7 days.  I notified them about the problem about 7 days ago. they sent me a mailer that day, I shipped them back the  next day..2 days  pass, and I get a tracking number, they be here tomorrow.

I am BUMPING YOUR QUESTION!!     "Can anyone compare the SQ of the Momentum gen. 2 and the 630vb?I currently have the Fiio x5+e12, and the Momentum 2 and am thinking of upgrading to the 630vb"

Don't you beat me up, but the 1ABTs weren't as good as my M2s.. Maybe that low latency stuff might have been better, but you need all units to have it. Again, straight out, the M2 to me, beat all comers., and they are comfortable to boot.   Will report on how the newer M2s are, and I will...

Well, you know all our ears are different, so what is good for one, might not be good for others. With that said, and me being a cheapee, paying $499.99 for the M2, I am fully satisfied. Even, the BT issue, wasn't all that critical to me. I noticed that it would happen around strong electrical...

Been out of it for a while, but here is a update on my Senn M2s.   First of all, I picked the Senn M2s, over the Def Tech, and Sony 1ABT..   To me, the sound is good. Before  you all jump on me for my description, I am not verse in using all those tech terms to describe how they sound, I...

I am a newbie, and I quickly found out that hi-gain is the only way to go for me! My Note 4 gives up nice SQ when wired to anyone of my 3 sets of headphones (in my sig ). However, when my headphones are wired to the X5ii, it blows away my Note 4, more detail and clarity. Also from reading...

Well, I all ready had my 3 sets of headphones(in my sig). The X5ii sounds good with all 3, with the Sennheiser 2.0 sounding the best.

Just a thought, that SD card acting differently could be the problem.

I am liking everything about the X5ii and haven't got to the battery lag yet, simply because every time I get the chance I put the X5ii on a charger! Say I am out and about shopping or just plain strolling with headphones and X5ii, when I get in my vehicle and/or back home whether the X5ii needs...

RockStar2005, looks like you are on a roll! That headphone amp appears to be the chit. At 6 large I would think so! I miss the smallness and the radio of the A17, but since I had another DAP, that bluetooth glitch was too much to bear! Now, it could have been human error, because I also...

I guess I am old school like you, because that is exactly the way I copy music from PC to my X5ii.. I just copy the folders and put them on 1st or 2nd sd card. No problems here either.. 

I feel kind of STUPID!!   I got to ADMIT, my mistake, my fault..   I am sending a 10 day old X5ii back because I THOUGHT the headphone jack was bad..   Yes, I called myself checking it with 3 different headphones and 3 different set of wires before I made the claim of defective.   Today...

Reported my headphone jack problem to Amazon  on Sunday evening.. Got a brand new X5ii Tuesday morning, with a return label to ship the defective one back. Amazon, clearly a winner with me on customer service.    Now, going to check the headphone jack right away, with 3 sets of headphones with...

  I had to return my X5 2nd Gen..Headphone jack issue. I found out about  the headphone out jack on Sunday, Amazon is shipping me a new one which be here in 2 days, on Tuesday. With a free return label, I am putting the defective unit in the box and returning it..Love the Amazon hassle free...

  Just lurking, a real newbie too. I waited until Amazon Prime got the X5 2nd Gen. I am spoiled by the prices, and no hassle/returns/customer service..   With that said, I have had my X5 2nd Gen for about 10 days. I have other things on this order, So, the X5ii wasn't getting all the much...

  RookStar2005, all good constructive criticism, and you are correct all the way...    Let me first explain the part where I stated, I only have one device with LDAC..   First off, if I kept the Sony 1ABT, I was referring that the A17 will be the ONLY device THAT COULD BENEFIT from the...

RockStar2005, here is what I came up with the A17 and the Sony 1ABT..   Starting with the Sony MDR 1ABT, they were good , but they weren't better than my Senn M2AEBTs, and just a hair  better or equal to my Sony MDR 1RBT MK2s. Didn't go as far as trying out the  LDAC with the A17 and Sony...

RockStar2005, got all that.. Even went to look at the Sony PHA-2 amp/DAC, I assume you be using your smartphone with that?   Anyway, I am going to take my time and learn these gadgets. When I copied and pasted, it took the all the album covers and info too. I copied it straight from my smart...

I waited until Amazon Prime had the Sony 1ABT in stock before I purchased.  I got them  from Amazon Prime for $399.99..    They arrived yesterday..I also have the MK2s, and the Senn M2 Wireless.   Now, t he Senn M2 Wireless are about 3 months old, they are keepers. They outdid my Sony MDR...

RockStar2005, I hear a DIFFERENCE already!!    I manage to put a folder with some of my favorite music in flac on the A17.. Took my Sony MDR 1RBTMK2, wired to the A17, and I am hearing things that I didn't hear before, and the clarity is crystal.. Haven't even fired up the Sony 1ABT yet.. Oh...

RockStar2005, the A17 came today, on the 4th of July..Hot Dog!!    I also got the Sony MDR 1ABTs too.  Along with 2 micro sd cards, one a 128gb and a 64 gb.. BTW, Amazon got the Samsung class 10 64gb micro sd for $19.95 with prime free shipping.   On the A17, man, there is learning curve...

  Cool on all that.. Right now, I am loaded with flac files.. Wow.. I got a 128 gb in my Note 4, plus I ordered another 128gb plus a 64gb sd cards..They be going in the two DAPs..On the MQA format, I think it will aslo depend on w hat the DAPs can play/decode too.Right now the FLAC is good to...
