ohh wow..thats really quite interesting... thanks clieOS.. I guess I will just have to try it out today when I get home.. the package has been delivered! I'll have to see for myself whether or not it will work out well. I have a caffeine amp at home that I can compare against so we'll see what happens. thanks anyways clieOS for the advice.

It is just a fair guess but I really doubt amping is the problem here, more likely it si the headphone...

Hmm I wonder how the E1 would compare to the PA2V2?

Great review and interesting comments - thanks folks.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on a couple of percieved negatives here:

1) Are you finding the extra cable length to be a pain in the arse?

2) How has it affected the battery life of your iPod?

I bought the E3 and E5 a couple of weeks ago. My girlfriend scoffed at me when they arrived in the post. Then she tried the E3 with her iPod Touch and (very nice) Sennheiser HD 238 cans, raved about the improved SQ, and has refused to give it back... A good thing I still have the E5 to use with my Atrios and Fuze.

I showed her the dealextreme website and suggested the E1 to her, as her Touch is first-gen and doesn't have volume buttons, which the E1 does have. But she commented on the extra cable-length and possible battery drain - hence my questions.

Yes it is, I tested with iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and iPod touch, it all worked.

Not sure if the remote would work. 1st gen nano w/FiiO E5 amp and FiiO L1 LOD works great, though. Listening to it right now.

Just wondering, where did you purchase your L1? I searched ebay and theres only 2 results, both of which are international.

I bought it from the ebay guy in Ireland. About 10 bucks (US), free shipping, and it took less than a week to get here (US). No problem at all.

just got mine.. it's really nice with my pk2's. definitely widens the soundstage a good amount. definitely a lot more than what i expected from a $20 amp.

x2. Listened to this combo at the office today with my iphone 3G and was stunned at how well it matched. Gives it good soundstage, detail, extension, and thump. Sounded like an earbud version of my K701!
