I'm actually on the same boat as you just a month ago (A/B-ing PM-3 and Aeon Flow Closed/AFC before buying) for isolation and comfort, the AFC won hands down. IMO on most tracks the Aeon can go down lower/deeper and have faster response in almost anything. The PM-3 won in styling and portability...

Sorry for the double Q (sent you an email but no reply) but I got mine off a retail shop in Indonesia called AnalogHead - is that true there are somekind of dealer here? or was it just sales speak tricking me? also is the Micro iDSD any good at driving this thing?

Yes - after some digging in the discord I decided to get the iFi Micro BL I decided to trade a gear for a still boxed-in Micro BL - god have mercy if that doesn't work

Hoping to buy just amp - neutral-bright if possible - maybe a bit of added bass.

Just got the AFC today, any idea of a sub $300 amp to drive it? I read the iFi nano BL can but unsure. How about Corda Quickstep or TEAC HA-P5?

Gentlemen, I'm planning to purchase the Nano BL to drive AFC - thoughts? If that doesn't work what are the alternatives aside Micro? (which I can't afford RN)

In the market for either IEM or a full-sized cans (closed) that can be driven without AMP. Budget around $160 (USD) remote location means I'm stuck at ordering online. Any recommendations? Going to venture outside inner-fi this time - need more input.   Previously owned cans: - HD201 - HD202...

I managed to find someone with 598 on local recording studio, going there to test it later, does the 598 need amp to drive or will laptop and smartphones can drive them just fine?   And no, not really. I'm usually in charge of making the PVs, our pal had RL issues so I substituted when he's...

I'll be using them mainly for listening songs in office/home setting with a bit mixing/synth to create a matching tune for friend's Vocaloid vocals.   Sadly no, they're locked behind the display case.Otherwise this would've been easy to solve...

Still stuck on Indonesia (I located and bought that AF62 thank you for asking). There's a local store selling limited variety of decent cans and I need help deciding what should I buy. Budget is around $200 - this will be the first mid-tier can purchase so I want to get it right. Importing is...
