    HifiMan RE252 Appreciation Thread

    For my ears OK1 has more detail and spaciousness but you do not get the isolation that you get with the RE252. Yesterday I compared in an airplane trip the isolation of the RE252, ER4P/S and Westone E3X. ER4P/S are the ones that isolate the most but they have their sound profile and some...

    HifiMan RE252 Appreciation Thread

    Answering to the question by prone2phone, the scenario is wide and deep. Concerning the mixed reviews comment by Inks, I could not take the Triple Fi 10 Pro or the Shure e500 and others were very fond of them. So this is the variety of life. Best

    HifiMan RE252 Appreciation Thread

    AT the moment I only use these over the Westone 3 and E3X. I had previously the Triple Fi 10 Pro, the Shure e500 and I still own the Etys E4P/S and RE0. I carry in the some pouch the Westone E3x and the Re252 and I constatntly pick up the RE252. The RE252 are comfortable to my ears and...

    New In Ear Monitor (IEM) HIFIMAN RE 252. Preliminary Impressions

    Let me try to answer the different questions. Some people like more bass than others. I like the bass just right. These IEMs have the right bass for me. When I used the Fiio E5 they had more bass. I have also used other amplifiers such as a Diablo (that works) and a Minibox E+ and...

    New In Ear Monitor (IEM) HIFIMAN RE 252. Preliminary Impressions

    I have been able to test the new IEMs HiFiMan RE 252 from Head-Direct. The first impression was that the separation of instruments was great. The scenario, at least to my ears, is as wide as that of UM3X. Using them directly from the an IPod 5.5 audio jack they have less bass...

    Grado Drivers NOT Available!

    Hello: I do not why the post by Picodeloro got such a harsh answer by Todd. Picodeloro is a DIYer very honest and he is not trying to make a profit bloodsucking anybody. As he pointed out it is just a hobby. He si just an electronics and sound fanatic that showed his work to us...

    Ray Samuel’s SR71 versus SR71A

    Hi Miguel: When you have time or when enough burnin has cooked the sr71a let us know how it compares with other amps. May be the Minibox e+? Best wishes Antonio

    A DAP to go with unamped PK1-s

    I have used the PK1s with several Ipod nano, 5.5 Ipod and a sony A818 and D2 and they are able to drive them. Of course if you amp them they will reach a higher sound level and depending on the amp you may get more details and space. But you can use them unamped.

    is it worth the upgrade from ultimate ears super fi 5 pro to triple 10 pro earphones

    I have the Triple Fi 's and they are wonderful. I am testing now the RE1 from head-direct and they are woth giving them a try. Regards

    Q-Jays vs. Sleek SA6s?

    I have both and my ears prefer the qjays sound signature. May be the SA6 will isolate more in a very noisy environment. have you considered the RE1 from Head-direct? These will need an amp to shine but they can be used also without it. The sound stage and detail that they deliver is...

    Has anyone else been really disapointed with the q-Jays?

    I found the qJays very good. I have compared them with: SA6, e-500, E4P, Triple Fi 10 Pro, RE1 plus PK1 and Ok1 and the qJay sound very exciting. It will all depend on your kind of music, source, amp (or not) and the compression of your files. Our ear are different so...

    The Best Portable Headphone Amps

    Minibox e+. EXcellent sound and you can do opamp rolling.

    Does the q-Jays have accurate sound reproduction?

    The Etys E4RP coupled with the right DAP (Sony A8... for instance) would be your best bet. IMHO.

    Sony A818 and Ety ER4P and other stuff

    Hi: As many of us I had this tickle of improving the quality of my portable rig. So I bought a Sansa Clip and a Sony A818. Since the Sony is warm I rescued my Etys and they sound wonderful!!! Now they have the detail of the Etys plus the warmth of the Sony. By the way the other...

    Sansa Clip + Yuin PK1

    Sansa Clip is able to move the PK1s quite reasonably. IMHO.

    Undressing the Diablo

    Cocnerning the Diablo sound signature I have to say that I prefer it to the only Ray Samuels product that I have owned (and sold) and that is the Tomahawk. The Tomahawk is wonderful and tiny and good looking but the sound to my ears is "roundy" and compact not as analytical and cristal clear...

    Undressing the Diablo

    Hi, I have to confess it ... I have a Diablo. There was a problem with the battery and instead of sending it to Larry a friend of mine, who also repaired my PRII that came with two faluty BUF634, is fixing it. He prepared a visual tutorial on how to open the Diablo and what is...

    Mini Box e+

    I have my Minibox e+ back from china after a battery failure. It was replaced, no questions asked. I am enjoying it with a pair of OK1s that Fang lend me to compare them with other phones. I am surprised by how these OK1s sound with the Minibox e+. I will test the Minibox e+ with the...

    YUIN OK1. New Canal phone/earbud.

    I have received my Minibox e+ after a battery failure. I have been using ii together with either a nano 3g or with an RWA iMod. These OK1s are something else!!! The PK1s, IMHO, have nothing to do against these beasts. That does not mean that the PK1s are a bad phone at all but the...

    YUIN OK1. New Canal phone/earbud.

    Hello: I have come back from the airplane trip. As expected the OK1s do not give you the isolation that The Etys. Please, keep in mind that the Etys are ear plugs. I used them in the airport lounge and that is no problem at all. I heard some backgound noise but totally bearable. In...

    YUIN OK1. New Canal phone/earbud.

    Hi, Yes, that is one of the things that I have found out. They need an amp with power to really shine. I have compared the GoVibe 7 (Eco) with the Diablo and with this last one they are really wonderful. Regards
