Hey guys, I really appreciate you guys considering me as one of your trusted choices. I do my best to convey my honest opinion about all the headphones I review. It's actually a tough job because I have a tendency not to try and review headphones that people say are terrible - so it...- headphonereview

Reply to review by 'headphonereview' on item 'Sennheiser HD 449 Headphones'
I disagree on the "amazing mids" - while they are definitely not recessed like the M50's (slightly recessed) - they definitely don't have the resolution or the detail the M50's have (I had both and did SEVERAL back to backs). - Soundstage was good, but I felt the M50's were about on par - Yes...- headphonereview

I'll give a quick overview of my thoughts on the 449's here, but if you want a full review, you can check out a complete breakdown here: HD 449 Review My quick thoughts on the HD 449 is that it has a decent sound in that it's tonally accurate as it has a very neutral sound. The...- headphonereview

Thanks man - I try and go into the beef of what a headphone or amp has to offer because there's so much on the market it's hard to figure out what to spend your money on!- headphonereview

Review of Fiio E11
That is MOSTLY true...there's a thread here on HeadFi somewhere that I was reading the other day where someone was able to jailbreak their iPhone 4S and buy some parts, buy an app, and do some other little things and was able to use an external DAC with the phone...going on to read more of that...- headphonereview

I don't use any EQ other than what's on the E11 when it's plugged in - partly because the headphones I use don't really require any EQ'ing and occasionally I just want a nice bass boost and the E11 provides all that I want!- headphonereview

Review of Fiio E11
John Santana, The difference between the Fiio E11 and the E7 or E17 is that the E11 is nothing but an amplifier - you feed it a signal from a source (like the headphone jack of an Android phone or through the Line Out connector on an iPod) then the E11 amplifies that signal and sends it...- headphonereview

Fiio E6 or Fiio E11
The E6 colors the sound quite a bit. Yes, it has four settings and depending on which headphones I'm using with them, it has 2 that are good and two that aren't. And it really does depend on the headphones. The E11 does a wonderful job of being pretty neutral to the mids and highs when in the...- headphonereview

No question - the E11 is heads and tails better than the E6. I've not done a full writeup of the E6 as of yet but it's really not even close. The bass is controlled and also the boost doesn't leak into the midrange on EQ 1. EQ 2 bleeds into the mids just a tad and in some cases is too much for...- headphonereview

LOL - yeah, they're the real stars of the show. Thanks for the compliment. I need to port more of the reviews over here - I think I just get lazy with updating all the places (including my own website!).- headphonereview

I've not had a chance to listen to the E7, but I do have the E17 and I do slightly prefer the E11 over the E17 in terms of sound quality, especially if you take the bass EQ into account. Otherwise, the E17 is a great amp/DAC in its own respect and I would imagine the E7 would be similar seeing...- headphonereview
