Fiio amps? - Page 16

I have just got my 2 x Fiio's. I have a feeling the batteries I just chucked into them were flat though so will have to wait till I get home to give them a proper go

Mine was shipped on the 11th from HK got it a few hours ago...

This morning when I got to work my package was waiting for me at the office. Turned it on and I've been using this little thing since then. So far I'm loving it. Got it from ebay for $12 including shipping to Uruguay, South America.
Also is a great thing they put that small red led near the output jack. That will certanly remind me to pull out the wire once I'm done... gotta sleep sometime
Does anyone know how many hours can we expect from an alkaline AAA?

Battery life for an Alkaline should be 20 hours

So, I received 2 x Fiio, and one of them is kaput.

On the working one, the red light comes on when you plug in the headphones and everything works fine...

On the broken one, the red light doesn't come on, and the sound initially starts out sort of OK and then quickly drains to nothing :/. Luck of the draw hey - at least I have one working :P. I will have to contact DealExtreme and see what they say...

If they do a revised version, I reckon they could do the following:

1) Add a power switch
2) Add volume control
3) Better build quality
4) More choice of colors.

I'd be more than happy to pay a little more to get all the above. Perhaps we should all send FiiO some feedback?

Prototype:

lol.

But seriously, that photo had me thinking: A brushed metal casing wouldn't look too out of place.

My mini-review of the FiiO is online, if anyone's interested: FiiO E3 Headphone Amplifier Review

awesome!

Received my dealextreme units today, quick impression with eti 4s and provided white cable, very nice indeed, useful bass boost. Great as a backup unit, no-fuss beach unit.

No complaints, a bit compressed when quickly compared to my hornet yet offered a slightly lower price point

haha awesome picture

Anyone tried this with the Sleek Audios SA6?

How about you order one for $8.50 and tell us :P

I certainly would, but I'm deciding to buy between the Future Sonic Atrios M5/8s, and the SA6, and I'm picking the one with the better bass.

The SA6 has less bass, but if it gets the bass boost from the Fii0, I'll choose it over the Atrios.

Just placed an order and we shall see how well it actually works with my IEM. Mostly I just want to do a comparison with the Travagans' dogbone amp since they are about the small size.
