Those two products are the exact same as mine except mine has a circular hole and says head-fi

My iBasso amp was made in China, so far it's held up extremely well and sounds great.

What sources/amps are you talking about? As long as you have a big enough sock, I guess the sky's the limit.

I was getting really tired of carrying my iPod/iBasso D2 in my pocket, and I don't like the possibility of the cables on top being pushed and making the connectors loose, so I decided to make a case. There are no cases I've found that are designed to hold an iPod/portable amp. All it takes is a...

Saw a pair of Grado SR80's out in front of my condo today... A cute girl walking her dog :D

All I ever see is iBuds and Dr. Dre beats... The LA youth aren't much for audiophile phones! Can't forget the occasional smaller sized Sony phones. I saw a pair of XB500's yesterday.

Quote: I agree   I got some new HFI 580s for Christmas, and I just made a 50 hour playlist that represented all the types of music I listen to. It'll be more or less burned in by the time I get through it. Now and then I'll take the phones off and let it play on its own but I mostly...

I want that bass :]   Sooo I ended up buying a pair of Ultrasone HFI 580's and an Ibasso D2+Boa amp. Bass is heavy, yet the sound is much more clear, unmuddled. I've ran em for about 30 hours so far, I dont think they are even fully burned in, so I expect the bass to get even heavier. Great...

Hi   Boy that HiFi audio player looks pretty nice for on the go

HFI 580 headphones and an iBasso D2 amp are the only things I have any real experience with but they sound great and bring that bass, even out of an iPod/iPhone.

I ordered an amp from iBasso.com (D2+boa) and it arrived in 3-4 days, to California.

Thanks guys, I ended up just following the forum advice for noobs and jumping in without worrying, so I didn't see your replies before purchase, but I ended up with the iBasso D2 + BOA in green, and it just arrived today. Headphones are still a day out but the amp already makes my Sennheiser 212...

I'm looking at the Ibasso T3 but I have no idea if thats a good choice or not

Hey Head-Fi, I need some advice. Ive spent the last two or three days reading up on portable amps and I seem to find a lot of contradicting opinions on whether the 580s need an amp or not. I ordered a pair of HFI 580s a week ago, and while they haven't come in yet, Im a bit worried that an...

Yeah, the 212 Pros dont have the greatest sound quality. Everyone seems to be really into the HFI 580s, so I think I'm gonna go for those. I am still concerned that I will need an amp for this particular set of cans but that's gonna be my next purchase anyways. Hopefully the HFI 580s will sound...

Great guide

All the models listed in my first post were $200 US dollars or less, and I am fine with spending that

Hey Head-Fi, how are ya? You guys helped me pick out my Sennheiser HD 212 Pros about two years ago, and I've come back for more advice for the upgrade.   The primary usage will be for unamped playing, with my 160gb iPod Classic. Looks mean nothing to me, although I do want more comfort than...
