Hi there, I'm completely new to headphone amps and looking for a little help.   I have a pair of AKG K271 mkii's, love the sound of them but they arent very sensitive, not looking to change them just give them some decent power.   I'm looking for something smooth and easy over detailed...

Currently I use the J3 with um3x and Ibasso D12 as my portable rig. Due to the size, its becoming a hassle and very annoying to carry outside. I was wondering if i made the switch to the T3, what would I expect? I've read good reviews on the T3 but also issues with pairing with J3 due to the...

Production of Ibasso T3D has been ended so only the T3 is readily available.  Fiio E7 is a tad cheaper.  How do they compare?  

I've been missing the boat here for a while....and need to shed some (hopefully) useful information to other audiophile fans.   The whole point of this thread is to say "LISTENING HABITS AND SYNERGY WITH EQ AND PLAYERS IS HUGE" determinent in quality of the sound you wish for.   I just...

Hello,   Great forums.... I have been doing a lot of reading over the last week or so about some new headphones and an amp....   I have ordered some Shure SRH840's and I am interested in an ibasso T3 amp connected to a Asus Xonar Essence ST/STX....   Currently I have Cambridge Audio...

Hello all,   First want to say thanks to everyone for this forum.  Without finding this forum I would of been the followers who bought Dre Beats.  Thank goodness I didn't.     Anyhow, I am a newbie so go easy if this has been asked.    I have the ATH-M50s and am looking to pair...

Hey guys, So I'm about to purchase my first mid-tier portable headphone amp, and I was looking at the Ibasso T3 and Z02, since they are right in my budget and needs in terms of size. So my question here is, what are the attributes of each in terms of sounds. I do want a black background (which...

Hello all,   I'm looking for a portable amp that will go well with my iPod & HD25 I read a lot on the T3 and was impressed, up until I saw couple of posts that rated the E11 on the same level right now I have the E17 which is good but a bit big and heavy for portable use   How do the...

Recently I've noticed that I have to turn up the volume knob 1 or 2 two levels to achieve the same volume I had when I first bought the T3. Also, I've noticed a loss in dynamics. Will changing the battery alleviate this problem or is there an issue with the amp?

Hey everyone I am looking for a portable amp and was wondering if anyone has compared the T3 vs. the D-Zero. I have read great reviews about the T3 but not sure how it compares to the D-Zero. They are both similarly priced but the D-Zero has a DAC which I don’t really know anything about. Do you...

         Hello the rest of the forums!        Very recently I have broken my Koss PRO4AA and am searching around for new cans.  I am particularly interested in the Grado SR60i but i don’t know if they will suit the type of music i listen to.  A few examples are: -Gorillaz -Motown in...

Hello head-fiers. I recently use a Westone 4 using an ipod that plays mp3 files. I want to know if there is a way to make my music sound better by using a source, amp, ect. What i would want for my Westone 4 is a slightly heavier bass but not enough to cover the mids and highs. I would like for...

Hello everybody   I just order a T3D today, And while waiting for it, I did a small test.   I connected my Nano 6G by LOD "RCA" to my Onkyo TX-SR875 and my Westone 3 on the headphone out, with the pure audio mode activated.   The result, day and night ! Clear voices, undistorted and...

Now that i'm pretty close to getting my earphones, I've decided between 2 pairs (the Monster Turbine Pro Gold/Copper), I am looking at an amp to get around the $100 mark.... Reading around here and based on what folks have said I've found that for $100 the two mentioned are really good amps...

My desktop setup consists of a Musiland 02 paired with a fiio e9 and I am lookng for something portable that can decently power my DT770/250 and PFE 112's. Not looking for anything that can power them like my e9 just something that can do it decently at less than $150. Was looking at the...

Does anyone know if these are the exact same headphones aside from that OMX has a clip? I'm probably going to get an OMX just wanted to make sure they weren't different.   Also, does anyone know if when amping them, it would be better to get an amp for cans or iem's? since they are neither...

I need a portable amp for my 1964-Q custom iems and ATH-M50. I was looking at the highly praised RSA SR-71, but after I saw the price I decided I would rather not have an amp that costs more than either of my phones. Are there any amps under 200 that would offer a nice soundstage, and improve SQ...

Okay I am looking to stay around the 250-300$ price range. What I am looking for is about the best headphone for base that can be amped to enhance it even more when needed. I am far from a audiophile but looking for something will sound better then beats and, give me the about the same amount of...

Hi, I need a new amp for iem use at home mostly. I quite like my iems from the iphone 4 that I use on the road but i want something to connect them to my home system since that has no headphone output. It does not neccessarily have to be portable but if it is I want it to have an internal...

I'm sort of stuck between which color to get on the iBasso T3D..? Silver or Gray?  

What are some good extremely portable amps for the Audio Technica ATH-M50's?   I was thinking maybe the Pico SLIM or iBasso T3D?

Hello, I need an amp for my full sized headphones the GMP 8.35 D (35 ohm/ german maestro), I will be using this together with my HTC Desire (phone). I've read this on the forums, that a (portable) amp. for low impendance headphones should have a higher current output.  I've searched this...
