@muscular sorry to bring an old conversation but what kind of portable amps should I be looking at? I asked earlier but I assumed you forgot, due to helping everyone else out which is cool. I want a portable amp for volume, occasional bass and helping the mids a bit. 

Quote: I will need a portable amp and I was hoping to try and improve the mids from being so recessed and thought the amp would also be useful if I decided to turn into a basshead. Also turning up the volume is important as I want to be able to listen to music loud but the mids are the...

Gapless playback is if in a album there is song 1 and song 2. song 2 is meant to play right after song 1 with no gap   with gapless playback there will be no gap without there will be a gap or a click or something   web definition: Gapless playback is the uninterrupted playback of...

Would  it be worth it to get a fiio e17 to use with the cowon z2? With the jet effect 5 I'd assume you wouldn't want a portable dac with it, and the e17 wouldn't act as a dac. Would it be worth it to get it as an amp to use with the z2? And with the z2 could you still use the bass and treble...

thanks :D

wow. I can't believe I got completely ignored. I might as well forget those 2 questions and try a question related to the above post, and maybe have a better chance of getting acknowledged.    From what I've heard J3 is the best sound quality and everyone has been asking whether the Z2...

Can someone explain this internet phone call feature? On Cowon's official website it says:   Internet Phone Call   Make your phone call conveniently via COWON Z2 without even booting a laptop or a desktop PC. You can also make an international call via a free internet phone call...

I think you should research the Audeo Phonak PFE 012 earphones. I'm not an expert, but from my research I've been thinking of getting them. They come with green filters which adds bass to the earphones, so I guess they should be suitable for rock. 

oh :( . Does anyone know a common shop (I live in UK) that can repair earphones? 

Is there any way I can buy these earphones? I really want to buy 2 pair's of these earphones but cannot find them online.

Hey, I currently have some Sony MDR-EX70 earphones (black). The left earphone has been damaged, where the inside wire (mostly copper i think) has been exposed and kind of torn so that where the wire goes into the earphone, there is only white wire. The copper wire has been cut off, so it is...

Thats made a lot of things clear for me now, because I know nothing about amps. I've just read two sides to them - they increase volume and they improve sound quality through channel seperation. Thanks and I will wait until I buy my headphones before deciding about getting an amp. Back to...

Thanks for the advice. Looking at reviews I've seen people say they don't need an amp, but other people say a amp does improve the sound quality even with the cowon s9 as the source. Would a portable amp improve the sound quality? I am bearing in mind that the headphones don't need it but if the...

Thanks for the reply. I think the Denon 2000 is out of the question partly because of the price and also because some reviews have mentioned it does break easily after some time, meaning it would not clever to use them as everyday use - portable headphones.   At the moment it is between the...

Sorry if this is a repeated/useless thread, this is my first thread as Im new. I have tried to do a bit of research before posting but due to my lack of knowledge on headphones I am still clueless. All I know is that headphones can be better than earphones, hence me wanting to get a good pair...
