why didn't FiiO install an amp or tune the bass in the X3 like they did with the E7? The bass is so full, rounded, and thumpy with the E7, all the things it wasn't with the X3. Now I hope the HiFiMan HM-601 is an upgrade basswise?

Maybe I'm mixing people up but weren't you just saying like 3 days ago that the the X3 was the hottest thing since Kate Upton? How did it fall from grace so quickly. And please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hate to say this, but I guess that's what I am after reading through IEMagnet's comments on...pretty much everything recently (Pistons, M200, now the X3). Haven't been keeping up much since I've been packin' up, but I guess that's exactly what I'm feeling. I guess you guys might relate to this too.

No offence, IEMagnet. Just...confuzed here.

No. Wasn't me. I was kinda cranky with the X3 since I got it. That would be mochill. I had issues with the way the X3 was tuned. It wasn't warm, and I prefer a warm sound, v.s. mid centric/balanced attack. If i have balanced IEMs, i prefer to lift the bass on my own, and when I do, i like it to have decent response. The bass boost on +10 on the X3 wasn't even full enough for me. IMHO. That's how i heard and felt it.

keep up. it's easy. I enjoy the Pistons. Have never changed on that. On the M200, always said they had marvelous sound quality and schiity build quality, and the X3 love was from mochill. Though I tried to like the X3, and gave it chances with multiple IEMs and amps (to mixed results), I just couldn't get past the issues I described earlier. That and the Brainwavz Delta suck IMHO. That should pretty much cover everything and catch you up.

and no offense to mochill, because I'm sure he's one cool dude, but why the **** are people confusing me and my posts with him? This has happened a few times now over the last few days? Maybe because he's using the X3, DNK, and Piston in the past week or so like I have, but I don't have the golden crystal, H3, B3, or whatever else he's been auditioning.

Actually, I remember IEM complaining about not liking the X3 with some iem or other, I believe he was using a Sony instead, could be wrong. I find it interesting, because I didn't find the amp part of the X3 to be the greatest, either...do love using it, but almost always use it with line out to ALO National, now THAT is a sweet sounding combo :)


I was going to quit the Heaven Playlist, but, now children, I'm posting another, remember, need to play well together!!!:xf_eek:

yes sir. thank you. I like people who pay attention and don't assume. well done. I'm sure I'll try out my HM-601 with the FiiO E7 to see if it gives me the same pleasure the X3 and ALO does for you. I can only hope?

) and then I'll figure out a replacement for the HD439's, right now I'm thinking I just find a pair of open headphones (such as the q701 or x1) or a pair of style oriented over ears (such as the ATH-AX5's)
