They're $349 at Summit Hi-Fi which is as low as I've seen them in Canada this year.     http://summit-hi-fi.myshopify.com/collections/holiday-sale-2016/products/hifiman-he-400i

  You mean holy Fiio!    I'll see myself out.....

I'm fairly certain there'll be some show specials, as per OP. Not sure if that applies to Fiio though.

Don't know if anyone saw this, but there's a SoundMagic/Fiio event on the 23rd in Richmond Hill. Relevant to anyone in this thread, I suppose: Quote: Nexus International and Summit Hi-Fi are excited to host our first ever pop-up shop and listening event. Come try some awesome headphones and...

Sweet! I'll be there!

Was in the market for some speakers recently and I often found myself comparing the sound signature of particular speakers to headphones I've owned. I ended up finding that my Pioneer SP-FS52 Towers carried an air of the well regarded Creative Aurvana Live with a warm, pleasing sound.   What...

Does anybody have James's email address? If so could someone PM it to me? It would be much appreciated.    Thanks!

Anyone know where in HK I can get one? Are they in most of the retail shops or only directly from Fiio at the moment?

+1 If nothing else, the price point makes it with a try. This said, I'll wait until I read some reviews from actual buyers.

  The sub-$1k offerings from Burson or Woo Audio would be a good start....

My goodness, the Schiit hype train is picking up steam. Folks are going to be mighty unhappy when they realize the best amp under $1000 isn't actually the one that's $119.

      I think I'm sold on the Sr80i but would you lads say there's a night and day difference between the 80s and perhaps the 225s?

Question for all you Grado-heads (am I in the right thread? ), does anybody listen to Muse in particular with their Grados? If so, how does it sound and on which Grados in particular have you listened to them?   Thanks! 

So, I've tried out some of the commonly know "Mid-Fi" cans like the HD650, Mad Dogs and the Q701 but I've not been blow away as yet. I found the mids to be great on all three but the bass (to some extent) and more so the treble to be a bit lacking.    I listen to a variety of genres with my...

Heard this again this morning, thought I'd share. I really do wish Cole and Drizzy collaborated more often.  

As a bit of an update, I've spent a bit more time with the MDs and I'm really starting to warm up the them. I'm finding them to be very smooth and unoffensive which makes listening quite easy. They remind me a bit of the HD650s, though more in principal than in sound.   Anyhow, shout outs to...

  I'm not sure the new pads/tuning will make them considerably brighter. It would cost me a fair bit over $100 to find out so it's something I'd rather be sure about before trying out.

Just got my MDs, granted they're the older version.   Initial impressions are that they're very smooth/polite. Of course, you all know what the sound signature is like and how fantastic the mids are so no need to go over that.   My only complaint is perhaps that they're not suited to my...

Heard this track today and thought I'd share.   https://soundcloud.com/tashatheamazon/thru_the_fire   Apparently she's a local artist but a pretty dope track nonetheless.

The 770 is especially good seeing as it can be had under $150 at times. Damn good value IMO.

  You're just a hater bro. Beats make my Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber sound dope!

  I haven't tried the 940 as yet but I did like the other two. In fact, I think I prefer the 840 over the AKG K550 (which I do quite like)!

  Ah, apologies for missing your question earlier.    I tried it on my NFB-10SE and also on a Project Sunrise II. Like I said, they're not a bad pair of headphones by any means but they just didn't live up to what people claim they are.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the HD650s are overrated. I thought I'd be in for a swarming after I said they weren't incredible.
