Those Denons look like, and the Phonaks. Thanks for the recommendation, guys! I will soon own a Kenwood MediaKeg MG-E504, and hopefully I'll get one that matches the sound output for that player.

I bought a Fiio E5, and I could hear a distinct difference in the sound output. My test rig was nothing big - iPhone First Gen's Dock output to the E5 to the Denons. It was great! This might help me to hold off for a while .

I have a Clip. I love my Clip. =).

According to the UE website, the Super.fi 5EB is more for house, and the pro is more for rock. Since I listen to a lot of rock, as opposed to anything else, shouldn't I be considering the pro? And I can't seem to find the Nuforces on Amazon. The genre that I listen to the most is classic...

Hello again fellas! My IEM history is as follows: V-Moda Vibes Head Direct RE1 Denon AH-C551K The Vibes got kinda tiring, and I barely use them anymore. The RE1 has too much treble and very little bass, which I didn't like. The Denon has good bass and everything, and I like it quite a...

Honestly, I'm not a (big) basshead. For me, it's all about the midrange. The little guitar riffs, the voice of the singer, the drum line, the cymbal thrash (I suppose that's more toward the highs). I want to be able to tell apart the instruments, yet at the same time, "taste" the music. I know...

WesMiaw was gracious enough to have me over on one blazing Sunday early afternoon. The reason? To audition Sennheiser HD650 and AKG K702. I'll mention the music that I used to audition the cans, but chances are that most people would never have listened to any of this (they're all jrock and I've...

I definitely want to come, but as of now, I'm a maybe. I really want to audition a Denon D2000 (I'm sure I'll add more to the list, haha ). I'll be keepin' an eye on this thread .

This sure sounds enticing! If I have someone to accompany me (I'm trying to rope a friend in, since I don't have a car ), I'll most definitely attend. Can't hurt to go to meets and meet people and their cans .

Thanks for all the replies! My friend is also looking for the same thing, so we might drop by at the aforementioned stores sometime really soon. Wes, that is really kind of you. I've sent a reply. .

Hello all, I took a look at this thread, and now I have a few questions. I have read threads about noise isolating/noise cancelling headphones, and have concluded that different headphones isolate sound for different people. Hence, I'd like to go to a store where I can try out headphones to...

I think the iBasso D3 uses 5 AAA batteries.

Well he said he didn't want any Yuins. @OP: How about Head-Direct RE2?

I can try to answer any kinds of questions you guys might have. Right now, here's my plan for my portable rig: I currently own a 2G iPhone which I use as my DAP. Although I like it, I'm looking for something better. I went to SonyStyle the other day, and their NWZ-A series is looking good...

I really wish the Vibes had better build. I'm looking to replace mine too, and I have some in mind. Yuin OK2 or PK1 (amped), or Grado SR80 (too bad it's an open can) and some others. Let us know what you settle on eventually, and your remarks .
