You might not like MX980 at first as they are less on the fun side, so be prepared to be amazed and shocked at the same time Before owning MX980 I really liked fun sounding earbuds and IEMs, but then those Sennheisers really showed me how much all fun side earphones lacks in sound. Fun sounding earphones tricks our minds, because their balance is tuned to make them sound like an instant enjoyment, while MX980 takes completely different aproach, more of a music refference. The more I listen to them the more disadventages I hear in fun sounding earbuds. It is very possible though to make them sound fun using proper EQ and a warm source - if that's what you like the most MX980 is the ultimate earbud, nothing is even close to it. They don't even sound as earbud, they mimic a good balanced IEM, minus the isolation factor of course.
Sounds like something I've nerver heard before. I do prefer somewhat warm sound but not too much. Goodboy do you recommend any liitle amps for it? Was gonna get 2stepdance before I heaerd it maybe too loud for iems/earbus.
The Fiio e11 or a cmoy is more than enough to max out the potential of the mx980, while it doesnt NEED an amp to sound very good, it should always be used with one IMO, as the difference between amped and unamped is noticeable
haha im sorry :]
but, its kind of odd to think a $200 set of earbuds wont need some amping. The mx980 is known for its soundstage, so if you are using a crap mp3 player you are going to get crap soundstaging. Your source is just as important as your amp, if it is limited or a poor quality in any way, you are just going to amp up poor quality stuff into a set of expensive earbuds :[
there is no love for audiophiles thats for sure heh, out of the sansa fuze it sounds better than out of an ipod, especially if its rockboxed. But, out of the same rockboxed fuze using an LOD, it sounds noticeably nicer pumped through my Fiio E11, which 1 ups sound quality, bass quality and soundstage size over just the fuze itself. Hell, I even use the E11 as a pre amp for my E9. Why? Cuz the bass experience is noticeably nicer than the fuze + LOD combo direct into the E9 lol
ehhhh, if only audio gear were free to us audio nerds...
