Would a portable amp reduce the sibilance on my GR07s?

I have been listening to my GR07s for definitely more than a 100 hours, maybe 200 hours, and the sibilance on them is still pretty darn annoying.

 

If I were to get a FiiO E6, or perhaps some other amp, would it reduce the sibilance? ( I know foams might do the trick , but my question concerns amping. xD )


I use an iPod Touch 4G. 


Oh,and if I were to use another source like a Cowon X7, could it be possible that there would be less sibilance, or completely none at all? 

 

I hope you guys can help me, and thanks in advance! :)

Your source/amp will do little to nothing to alleviate the ~7k sibilant spike. You need to explore different tip options. That's the only thing that can eradicate the sibilance. Amps and source only improve the SQ. There are others on here that also found the sibilance annoying on the GR07 and found tips that killed it. Now they LOVE their GR07. 

 

New tips are your answer. Do some research.
