I always hear basshead and think its a negative term. well after buying ety hf5's, i really miss the bass. 9not that these are bad iem's, just not for me. So after more research, im comin down to atrio's or sm3's. i dont mind spending a lil extra for sm3's if they are worth it. actually...

looking at the HM-801 for my JH16s. It seems that the GAME replacement amp is designed by high spec IEMs. Has anyone tried it?

Holla everyone.   So right now I have FX-700 and the JH custom (being reshelled). I have only the Arrow amp and as for sources I have Ipod touch, Sflo2, ipod nano etc.   My question is, should I upgrade my sources or should I upgrade my earphones? I have been thinking about getting the...

Introduction:   First off, thanks to Hifiman for choosing me to be part of the review tour. Thanks also to mukulymn for loaning me his RE262 for an extended time.   But, the IEM couldn't have chosen a busier week to arrive. I could not spend as much time as I wanted with the review...

Hey guys,   I am going to be doing a head to head to head review of the new Sleek Audio CT7, the JH 16 Pro, and the UE 18 Pro. I will be using a HiFiMAN HM-602 as my source courtesy of Head-Direct. I will also be answering any general questions or comparison questions that anyone may have. I...

hello everybody,  i will receive next week my hifiman 602 and a TMA-1, to have the best sytem do i need to add a portable amp or do my 602 will drive correctly my TMA-1.    If you think it will be better to add a portable amp, which one will you buy?    Best regards    Christophe ...

According to you what id The Best closed portable headphone for hifiman 602? I listen rock and vocales Budget max 800 $

i currently own HD598, ie8 and a moded galaxy s with supercurio's mod and it souns awsome but it kinda lacks something, so im torn between buying an amp ibasso d4/d6 to use it as a dac also, or buying a hifiman player 601/602, more 601 than 2nd but i heard they are not so reliable and good but...

Help: my Hifiman 602 won´t load beyond the second bar, how long ever I load it. Any Ideas?

I suppose a few of you had catched this piece of info from MP4 nation's blog, but since nobody opened a dedicated thread, I thought it would be good to try summarizing information about this new PMP. After what seems like a critical success gathered by its C4 high end PMP, Colorfly has...

HM-602->cable going from line out->Pico Slim->Westone 4 IEM or iPod Classic 7G->LOD->Pico Slim-> Westone 4   Which would give me better SQ and would be a better choice?

Are these actually available for purchase right now? I can't seem to find them anywhere.. some people metioned they were only sold with the 602 but I can't even find that deal on their site..

Looking for alternative to my hd650s, though I am by no means a basshead, they seem to lack the low end (I enjoy the rest of the spectrum). I owned the 600s in the past, and didnt have these complaints, my source and amp have changed, previous setup was Dacmagic>wa6, current setup is...

Hello,   I'm considering the option to buy my first home ring. But as I'd also like to continue having a portable one and to minimize costs, I'd like to know if it is possible to connect an Hifiman HM-601 (preferably that one) or a HM-602 to various amps but more particularly these two :  ...

I have got a HifiMan package, the RE-262 canalphones and HM-601 portable player, meant as a review combo. I have had them for about a week, forming impressions by using them in combination, separately with other gear, and meeting a friend audiophiles who has heard quality gear in the portable...

My apologies for starting another thread on the same player but the reason why I'm doing this is because the 52 pages are a LOT to delve into to reach a conclusion because besides SQ there's talk about so many other issues. I need to know from the PRO's here: Is it superior in sound quality...

EDIT, Nov. 4   I changed the title of the thread both to reflect the direction it seems to be taking and to remove the impression that the 602 does not work for Macs. There are plenty of details about the 602 in the threads linked to below; those are more appropriate forums for those...

I've charged my 602 2x and both times if I try and listen to it there is a buzzing sound that is in the background and it is independent to the volume level.  If I don't touch it for a day it is no longer there but even after 2 hrs it is still there.  Does any one else have this?  Also can...

 Edit(29/10/2010):   This threat has got hardly anything to do with portable source gear, sorry that's my mistake.   After some very good advice of some head-fiers I had an revelation of which I was hoping for so every thing below this edit is not relevant anymore. I guess it was kind...

I'm contemplating a new portable rig, and wondering which would be best, in terms of SQ and cost effectiveness/bang for the buck (not so much portability)  :   1) an all-in-one box, like a HiFiMAN HM-602.  Integrated storage, amp, and DAC. 2) a DAP with digital outs, and an amp/DAC with...

well I got the sony x and it has been great but I seen hifiman have released a new player   so the real question is, is it worth the upgrade from my Sony x?     Thanks!     also will the hifiman be able to play Flac?

Hi, I am not an expert in mp3 players, but from reading what audiophiles say, apparently ipods (which are the norm here in Canada) are not that good for audio quality. well, to me audio quality is the important thing, I dont care about apps, video display, games, podcasts, camera...

I ordered the HM-602 player 2 weeks ago, and i wondering which headphones will be the best when pairing with that player..   any opinion?? comment?   I read www.headfonia.com   the HM-602 can even drive HD800 decent... so i wonder which will be the best for this player

prices doesn't matter But if anyone can help me decide on which dap to get that would awesome >_< I know hifman 801>qls 350 but not sure about the hifiman 602.
