Hey guys, new member to Head-Fi. I've been following these forums for a while now. I got into high-end audio when I required new gaming headphones, I was gonna go for the cheap everyday gaming headset but someone reffered me to Head-Fi.   This is when I discovered the existence of headphones...

First off, hi I'm new! lol   I really need a pair of in ear buds that fits/stays in my ear haha I have a pretty small ear canal and I've held back purchasing recommendations from friends because I have a feeling they won't fit/stay in my ear... I'm so tired of always pushing the ear...

Is the cowon j3s Sound quality that good, for people to buy that over the ipod touch and sacrifice the abundance of apps? Also how is the ipod touchs Sound quality compared to the cowon j3? Is it that different?

I know there is a huge price difference, but how does the sansa clip+rockbox match up with the cowon j3, in comparison with sound quality. Is there like a huge difference?

Here is what I know: cowon x7 and j3 sound quality is the same. with J3 i get a pants-wettingly good screen and with X7 i get easy music management/usb hard drive. With both, music management and sound quality is amazing, but with both i've read multiple reviews about bad build quality and...

So, I was lucky to find J3 in a brick and mortar shop in Dubai selling only one Cowon - J3. No online ordering, no waiting, no shipping charges and no customs. I bought it instantly based on your recommendations here. I know quite well about Cowon and always feel sorry that it's not a known...

I have been hear a lot about how people are avoiding the internal amp inside their ipod by using a line in. If I used this method to connect to an ibasso t3 or something similar, would the sound quality rival or even rival a Cowon product(j3, D3, ect)?

  Hi guys, as you can easily tell I’m really new at the forum. I have been reading tons of threads along this past months and now I have decided to join actively. I have a question and seek for some help and insights. I’ve been an iPod “consumer” for long time now as I own a Mac. I have...

Hi!   So I'm fed up with iPod right now. It's not a matter of sound quality or lack of FLAC support; that's the least of my worries here. My problem is the software and firmware. I'm sorry but iTunes is a b***h to work with. For some reason it randomly rejects my music files at times. And...

Hey guys!   Name's Alex. I'm new to Head-fi and the wonderful world of hi-fi! I'm very excited to join a community of fellow audiophiles and looking forward to hearing all of your great opinions!   As of this moment, I have a pair of DT770 PRO 80s that I love to death. My "setup" (if you...

 i own a Cowon J3 and im really looking forward to buying a pair of FA 011 by fischer audio. But it has high impedence, so can the j3 drive the 011's ( 160 ohm impedence) ? or would it actually make a difference in sound and soundstage if i bought an E11 from fiio and use it with my j3? im a...

  Hey fellow Head-fiers, I was looking around for a DAP and saw the Hifiman HM-602, and it looked spectacular, but i'm still a audio-newbie and that's way out of my budget. For now. So, i narrowed it down to these four - Sanza Clip+, Sanza Fuze, Cowon J3, Cowon S9. I was wondering if you guys...

Hi,    I'm currently planning to buy a CowonJ3 > FiiO E11 > UM Miracle   however, I just realised that the FiiO doesn't seem to have any LOD for Cowon?   and I read somewhere that if I were to use the jack-to-jack wire to connect my MP3 to AMP,  it wouldn't work as well, in fact it...

i just came into a bit of money and would to revive my headphone setup as im only left with iems at the moment.   i have about 700 dollars to spend. and will be buying used     my main genre of music i listen to is extreme metal, deathmetal deathcore, hardcore and classic rock.   i...

First time poster here, and the first time I'm dabbling in high-end audio gear as well.   I literally just ordered these babies, and would like some clarification; how well do the J3 Cows drive the DT1350? Is the difference like day and night when properly amped or are we talking slight...

Hi, all. I'm new here. I created my account about 20 minutes ago and In reading over many opinions of headsets I must ask the masses for help in choosing a pair of Headsets. First, a little history. I first started off very slowly in terms of music, MP3 and headphone choice. "As long as...

So i just ordered the Ultrasones fi 580, and i was wondering what is a good portable mp3 player for these and without the use of an amp?

Hello,   I have been wanting to move from iems to full size cans for sometime and recently the Audeze LCD-2 has intrigued me with the rave reviews on Head-Fi. I am very new to the music equipment area (having only owned a couple of sony earbuds and a shure se535) and have previously just...

So I was looking around for some good full sized headphones and the Audio Technica ATH M50 caught my eye. I've never heard the sound it produces but from what I hear, it has very good sub bass extension, isolation and mids. I previously owned a pair of RE0 IEMs and I liked the sound that those...

Hi, I have gotten my Cowon J3 second-hand from eBay 6 months ago. It was working fine until a few weeks ago when it wasn't aleto charge. Each time I tried charging it through my laptop, it always says battery full even when it wasn't. But if I keep trying to reset it and unplug it, it eventually...
