further to my last post, they sound great through an amp with a guitar.  to answer the chosen one, the fiio's drive them nicely. quite nicely.

on a positive note, their fit is excellent. they might be great for jogging and the like, for they never drop out of the ear easily. quite a bit of pull and tug required. so there is that postive there.

my first pair headphones, so no reference point to compare them with, but i read on the 'battle of flagship' thread that these were awarded a+ rating and were about within my budget so i forked over the cash. they're ok. comfortable but sound just ok. not great.

rubbish earphones. i bought them for more than $100/- thinking they would sound great. these were my first high end earphones and even to my untrained ear, they sounded average. could not make out the difference between these and any $15/- earphones.

highly underrated earphones. i speak from experience. although, after a while, the sharpness in treble and the heaviness of the bass gets a bit much. 

these are good earphones. i speak from experience.

love your signature

are your 215's worth the price. im thinking of buying them. i like clarity in my music but not excessive bass. im not really an audiophile.  

thanks

dude i just read your entire thread. im really interested. im trying to buy the weston 4 for about 20g. think its good? reason i ask is because i m into the same music. metal but not only. rock, grunge, nuage etc. al. throw in some 60-70's soul and blues like james brown, bb king, nina simone...
