The sad thing is that you even had to make a post like this. You don't seem like the snooty kind to get pissed off over a rare occurrence. This must have happened MANY MANY times for you to even post this.   I personally feel this isn't even a rant. Its more like a PSA or a lesson in proper...

Yeah that was one thing I didn't mention at all. The E7's battery life is just great. I remember taking it with me on my 1 month long trip to India and I charged the E7 like once in the whole month. The E17's battery life is probably 1/3 or less of the E7, but it has better hardware. Honestly...

      iBasso really isn't that good in terms of DACs. Their portable amps were nice but honestly I feel most lower level products from ibasso are overshadowed by others.    If you just want a better DAC then yes the E10 is better than the E7 and very very close to the E17. If I...

Something the caliber of the HD800s would be wasted upon the Fiio E17 so I am glad you got the DACmini.The E17 is not in the league of CEntrance products or even HRT's offerings.  My friend's Dacport is much better overall but the E17 is nifty and does a decent job for the price...I mean its one...

You really don't need to plunge $1000 just yet though, there are so many nice units in the 150-300 range. Each price range has some real gems and of course diminishing returns really really start to hurt beyond certain price points. Of course, once one agrees to the head-fi terms of agreement, I...

ClieOS pretty much nailed it when he said the E11, E17 and iBasso T3/T3D are roughly similar in quality. The E11 and E17 have more power on offer than the T3 though (but the T3 is sooo tiny and matches my clip + perfectly). The E10 has a pretty comparable amp and a good DAC, but it is more of a...

If you guys want more details, I just got an E17 I picked up here in the FS section:   E7:   DAC was better than my onboard Realtek noticeably. The Bass Boost was a disappointment since only level 1 made any sense. The rest were just nonsense. Features wise, it has a sleep timer but that...

I haven't heard the HD202 so no comment there.   I have had the RX700 for over a year and half and it is really a very fun can for most uses. I have much better stuff now like Beyer's DT880/990, Fischer's FA-002 and a couple others, but the HA-RX700 still gets some head-time surprisingly...

Quote: If you want to make them more bassy try the J-Money beyer pads. They are super deep, fairly comfy and add a ton of bass quantity. Unfortunately for me, the rest of what they do doesn't suit my tastes so I have reverted back to the O2 pads. If you want a cheap solution though, try...

Should have looked at gd-audiobase better. Found the pads on there

Bose QC15 is much better since at least it does the whole active noise cancellation well. Studios don't do much of anything well. The Bass is boomy and the rest is hardly worth mentioning. The Active noise cancellation on the studios is terrible since it hisses. The QC15 isn't great in sq...

Hi All,   So I bought a pair of FA-002W from the fs thread, and wanted to know where I could get some replacement pads. The gentleman who sent them to me didn't mention how the pleather pads were a bit worn. If you guys know where I could find either the fischer pads or others that'd fit...

I tried all 3, returned all 3 and then bought the TF10 again from a head-fi'er   GR07 - Neutral neutral neutral! I thought I'd like a neutral sound sig but I was dead wrong. It just sounded boring to me because I wanted a flawed sound sig. I like my bass and treble to be more pronounced and...

Quote:   I am pretty bad with tech stuff, I am sure I'd ruin it while opening it or something like that. I think I'll pick up a Fiio E9 or something like that so that which even a noob like me can work with.

Hi everyone,   I recently posted a thread in the headphones section requesting some assistance on how to improve sound quality. I currently own a Philips SBC-HP1000 and a tiny little Fiio E5 amplifier. I wanted to purchase new headphones but most folks in the headphones forum suggested...
