Introduction The easiest way to explain the Sennheiser CX-150's is that they do what you can reasonably expect. You can't really expect much from a pair of sub-50 dollar IEM's, and frankly, I...

Relax and hear the music near the swimming pool is the best place to release our stress

The sound quality is, unamped, clearly above iPods and cowons. It is much bigger, more space, more power, more life, more everything...out of the box I thought I thought it sounded too dark sometimes with my Shure SE530x6, but after 150 hours of burn in, and with the Miracles, which are more balanced and extend better both ways, the DX100 sounds wonderful. The UI is ok now, just needs getting used to. To me the only problem is battery life too short. Size is not a problem as it is much smaller than iPod with clas and amp.

Does it sound better than ipod with clas and an amp (lets say somenthing like the iBasso P4, or somenthing like that, high end amp)?

Ask Rudi, I never compared. But I know I tried several amps and none improved the DX100 amp enough to justify the purchase and the added weight. It so nice to have only one device. I really dont understand how people carry stacks of 3 devices 15cms high.

well...its cheaper for that matter. Although i prefer to have slimline AMP from my iPod, and then some transportable rig (like ALO PanAm or somenthing like that wich has GREAT audio quality, but not so portable).

Well DX100 is great for on the go or staying at home. You can refine by adding an amp for the extra sq. I am getting Tralucent T1 as they are supposed to have ggod synergy. But I am also considering intruder and portaphile 627

Yes. I think in comparison my z2, which was already great did not have the same soundstage, same fullness of sound, same note power. The ibasso is big, but you can really hear why it is 3 times the size of the z2...because it could eat it.
