    Fiio E12 "Mont Blanc" First Impression and E11 comparison

    I have the v1, and trust me, between the (v1)e12 and the e11, the e12 has far more sub bass, and the e11's bass boost, while somewhat stronger on the highest setting, does leak into the midrange much more. Sorry for the delayed reply! Yeah, definitely impressed with the 780's so far. They've...

    Fiio E12 "Mont Blanc" First Impression and E11 comparison

    The bass boost is a bit stronger, but mostly it is different; it has more sub-bass boost, and the bass boost is very clean and does not extend into the mid range, unlike the E11. The E12 definitely pairs better with my closed back headphones, and sounds great with my "bassier" headphones, like...

    FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!

    It is fully charged when the charging light stops blinking and stays solid red. If I understood the Fiio website info correctly, it is ok to leave it plugged in indefinitely.

    Quote: Awesome.  That eases my mind.  Thanks! Quote: Yes, the noise I am referring to is within the amp itself, not coming through the headphones.  -- Thanks - yeah, I learned that the hard way with my first cMoy, lol. Quote: Great.  That is good to know.  Thanks very much.

    Thanks everyone for the advice and feedback.    Now I have a question for those that own the E12, please: I just noticed yesterday that when I turn it on, there is no sound for several seconds, then there is a loud clicking/popping noise inside the housing of the device, and then the sound...

    Cool - Thanks!  Yeah, my wallet is already taking a crunch, and my Fiancee thinks I'm kinda nuts, but I love and listen to every pair I own. Looking forward to being a headfi contributor instead of lurker, and I appreciate the welcome.

    Quote: Thank you, I'm glad you thought so. Lol - Don't tempt me ;)  As mentioned, though, I do have their colorful step-cousins, the ad700's... My first impression was that the 700's aren't a good match with the E12 - I think the E11 pairs better, because they really benefit from the "level...

    I am a new headfi'er that just got an E12 and wanted to add my first impressions and comparison to E11 on this thread, but it was too long and seemed off-topic for what is being discussed now.  If you are interested, here is the link:  ...
