    AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!

    Same here! Best amongst headphone amps I own is the JDS O2. Best headphone amp (of the various I have) which works best with my AKG K612, and it is this the only AKG headphone where I have to utilise the "high gain" setting on the amp, to make it sound best. Otherwise it is quite low and flat...

    You are quite right Thatonenoob. Had not noted the price and did not realize it was so inexpensive considering that this new Fiio E11-2 is so good looking and seems to be a very well built amp. Many thanks!

    Really tempting review! I understand, however, that the internal battery is not user replaceable as in the original Fiio E11. Am I correct? It is always a plus to have the battery easily replaceable, as rechargeable batteries unfortunately have a finite life.

    Best Headphones under $200?

    Strongly endorse the advice regarding the AKG K612Pro. Excellent headphones, but benefit in my opinion when used with an amp, as its impedance is relatively high and may otherwise sound a bit low in volume without an amp. Mostly use mine with JDS O2, and find that I often utilise the high gain...

    Regarding charging via USB Gary now has an adaptor available which enables charging via USB. Just recently he forwarded me one without even charging me anything, not even postage! Now that is what I call perfect and excellent service. His amp is really fantastic in my opinion, compact, strong...

    Looking for headphones for the wife, help please :)

    Dear Flailure, I surely hope and am quite confident that your wife will like the Philips Fidelio X1! They are light, very well constructed, and  comfortable to wear, and best of all have an enjoyable sound for any music played on them. I also have, amongst other headphones, my most treasured...

    Looking for headphones for the wife, help please :)

    Would personally recommend Philips Fidelio X1, a good all-rounder, and sound good with practically all music.

    Introduction/first post and opinions on K550/HP200/Fidelio X1/HD650 for classical

    Have both the Philips Fidelio X1 and the AKG 550, and I admit that for classical music they are both excellent, in my opinion, and cannot decide which is the better honestly. The only disadvantage about the Philips Fidelio X1, for me, is that its earpads are not replaceable, at least to date. A...

    Little Bear B-2 Portable Amp

    As far as I know the op amps provided are all "dual" op amps, and stereophonic. I would not try and insert single op amps mono, as the socket is meant for dual amps and have to be compatible with the amp.

    Blaupunkt 112 DJ ...opinion?

    Came across this post when trying to check about these Blaupunkt headphones, as my daughter was attracted by their retro design and subsequently tried to check reviews on them, which as said are not so many, but I eventually purchased these headphones from Amazon for my daughter, to replace her...

    I would say that this amp should work well with the ATH-M52s as it has low impedance. Cannot confirm regarding the HiFiMan Re-262s as their impedance, if I am not mistaken, is quite higher, but it should be OK too. You would probably have to adjust the two blue screws inside the amp to get an...

    Have used by AKG550 and Philips Fidelio X1 should read "Have used my AKG550 and Philips Fidelio X1". Sorry for the typing error!

    Review by 'Rosario' on item 'Electric Avenues PA2V2'

    Have had this small amp for a year or two and I use regularly with good sound quality, ample amplification, and satisfying listening through it. Gary, who builds these amps by hand is always ready to answer any query, and that is very re-assuring. Have also other portable amps, such as the JDS...

    Little Bear B-2 Portable Amp

    Many thanks for an interesting review! In fact I had purchased this amp a few months back, and found it to have quite a good clear and open sound. Solidly built and quite attractive. What is truly amazing is that the battery in it lasts and last for quite a very long time. Had asked seller...

    AKG K550 or Denon D600?

    I can only speak about the AKG K550 which I appreciate a lot, and are amongst my favourite closed (but really surprisingly open sounding) headphones, but yes, as frequently stated on this site, you do have to have a good seal on your ears, as otherwise the sound seems to be washed out...

    Reply to review by 'rosario' on item 'Epiphany Acoustics EHP-O2'

    Many thanks for your prompt reply. My only worry is that I have had various NiMH batteries (all of supposedly good quality, but not mentioning names) fail on me without any warning. But I am very tempted with this amp. When and if I were to decide to purchase could I purchase direct and pay via...

    I understand that this amp utilises two 9v niMH rechargeable batteries. Are they easy to replace when the batteries no longer keep their charge? Many thanks in advance!

    Portable Amp for Shure Se535

    How about the Epiphany Acoustics EHP-02, of which you will find favourable reviews on Head-Fi. I am suggesting this amp as I myself am getting interested in it and might eventually buy it at some time in the near future. I already have the Electric Avenues PA2V2 and the Fiio 11, and I love...

    The ATH-AD700 Discussion Thread

    Have had the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 for about a year now and have to admit that I really appreciate its sound signature and its crystal clarity, as well as its sound stage and open, not in the head sound, and sound stage are great. One of the headphones I love listening to and one of my...

    Sony MDR-V6 (and family) Impressions Thread

    Purchased these headphones about one year ago, together with other headphones costing me about three times as much as the Sony V6, but I still love the sound of these headphones, and I often go back to them without any regrets, as they are durable, comfortable and have a nice neutral sound...

    AKG K550 Review.

    Fantastic review. Personally I really enjoy my AKG K550 and it is amongst the best and most preferred of my headphones. Easy to drive, but benefits if driven through a headphone amplifier (as any other headphone, in my experience), very good sound isolation, and very crisp, clear and neutral...

    Sony MDR-V6 lack bass?

    Since I have only become a member of Head-Fi as of yesterday, I am in that sense a newbie for this site. However, I have been accessing Head-Fi for quite some time now, and really value the views of its members, and check out your opinions before purchasing any new headphone. Had viewed the...
