Good price. I paid 420$ for mine and I think the FX850 were worth it.

4.4.2 There's no higher version for the mini.

My recently purchased HTC mini 2 sounds great but it clipps above 13/15 volume.

Samsung tends to limit the volume level on their phones either to prevent ear damage (read lawsuits) or to preserve life battery (read higher specs). Remember Galaxy S1 and the voodoo tweak?  You will probably have to flash a custom kernel on your note to get decent volume. Or get an HTC phone.

Hopefully the Exynos version has less crosstalk.

You won't be disappointed. 

My better half pulled out with force the right earphone while i was listening to them. The cable has left in her hand and the earpiece stayed in my ear. Now the right connector is more loose compared to the left one and sometimes gets disconnected with minimal force, to a point where I I fear...

Haha yeah. They sound phenomenal!

Hahah i feel dirty. I usually don't lie.   So, I was wondering, my portable source will be the clip+ but I feel it won't do the woodies justice. I was thinking HTC M8/Galaxy S5/  or one of the iBasso/Fiio variants. Any thoughts?

If only my girlfriend knew how excited I am, I'd be in trouble. p.s I told her they cost 150

Try the s3 thread.

You can raise the volume by modifying default_gain.conf in system/etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274033 the s4 9500 sounds superpb and has plenty of juice. Still haven't had the chance to compare it to the voodoo'd galaxy s1. I want I the s4 to be better :)

I prefer the voddoo'd SGS over my clip by far, simply for the strong amp the SGS has. Drives my AKG K240 S like it's nothing while they are barely audible with the clip. There's only one situation where i'de pick the clip over the SGS and that's when jogging. Don't ask me to compare both...

Yea my bad I got your twitter quote above a lil wrong.

How is nexus WM8994 dac different from sgs1 WM8994 dac?
