I have just received my Fiio E6 fujiyama ( real  security number ) and then plugged it to my Fuze with Shure SE215 .  and every time when i move the cable around the plug i hear cutting noise and static .  like cuts out the music . - it do works with every other player including sansa clip...

Unfortunately I didn't used any of these to be able to tell you this.    read reviews in the forum also check video reviews by HeadFi  in youtube and wait for other people response .   you should decide for your self what is the best for you.

Check the thread about recommended  Headphones for 2013 http://www.head-fi.org/a/2013-head-fi-summer-buying-guide-introduction take a look \ read reviews.  You will find that some very impressive  headphones are in the range $100 - $200 

Both of them have the same specs ..  and look. So what the difference between them?   MA330 cost  $50 EP630i cost  $75 

then why $5000  Japanese headphones have   freq. of   5-30.000    ?  

I have always bought a headphone with higher  freq. range then the generic headphones   because i usually  felt that the sound is much richer and netural with high freq, range  such as 16.hrz to 26mhz   ..    and while i listen to the generic  20hrz to 22mhz   the sound was always  plain and...

Cowons is a very good player. iriver used to be close to it but the new products  don't even sell in europe anymore  -  i dont  see them anymore.   MP3 players are dead mostly so iriver lost much of its market.  high price with mid sq.      imo.. 

i dont know what i lost  i just know that my hearing is not as good as it used to be.    i guess i had a very good one if i still can hear how bad the sansa eaphone which came with my fuze are.   as i said i dont think that i am a "real" audiophile as some people here on the forums are...

the reason for my awful hearing .   i used to serve in the army a while ago and i  usually spent 16 hours per day in the firing range.   even sometimes with out any protection.  most of us got hearing problems..   but i still can hear static noise on bad  headphones and players.    and not...

i bought the fuze just because i like how it look and  easy to use.. the zip is ugly imo.   and i knew they are the same as you already told me this 2 pages ago.     will buy in the future amp and i will be good to go..  maybe i will buy a new headphones as well    such as the AKG K450 ...

just bought my new Sansa Fuze V2   Amazing player.,       but i listen to my k518 at %80   volume ...  imo my ears are bad.. i will prob buy an amp soon to my setup..  the Fiio 11...      again thank you all for your support and help..  great forum..  

  Microsoft Zune   30 gb   at $70    from China.   with out original package. fake?       if not its a very good deal.
