Hey guys, I'm basically looking for suggestions on:
Noise Isolating/Noise Cancellation headsets/IEMs/Anything. Blocking out noise is more important than perfect sound reproduction, because if the outside noise is preventing you from hearing everything in your music, what's the point? I also more of a bass head, but I like non-muddy bass. I really like the SoundMagic PL30s, maybe the PL50s? ~$100
Audio Source. I own the Meizu M6, and that pretty much has the best sound quality out of anything portable I have heard. The only issue is the 4GB memory, and the interface isn't great. I also own a Cowon Q5W, but I actually don't like it as much as the M6, as I find the EQ is very hard to work with, and doesn't really do much, except make everything sound worse. I usually use a Zune, as I find them to have the best balance between sound quality, storage capacity, and usier interface. I'm all for a device such as the M6 with a useable interface, and great sound quality, but with more storage. ~$80
Amp. I have a Fiio E5, and also a CMoy. I'm wondering if these will be god enough? Or if I need to get a better amp. Also, are OpAmps interchangeable? I have a LM4562 on my X-Fi that I like a lot, but don't know if I can stick that into the CMoy without any problems.
Thanks everyone!
