Just FYI, you can get the Nuforce Icon Mobile in Ontario and you can even pick it up if you're in or near Ottawa! https://www.themacgroup.ca/store/ind...uct=IconMobile

I purchased the Turbines on friday (from FS), and they've been burning in for about 30hrs now and i just wanna share my comparisons with these phones to my current everyday phone the Atrio m5 v2. When i first unboxed the Turbines (great packaging) and plugged them in, i was surprised as to...

Just noticed this was already mentionned on the Turbine appreciation thread, so sorry 'bout the repost.... I just picked them up, at the Marche Central (last pair btw), testing them out right now against my beloved Atrio So far so good, but the Atrio is still better IMO, we'll see after...

Just checked out the Futureshop flyer for the week and the Monster Turbines are up for 99$! Probably gonna pick a pair up, but just wanted to share my joy Future Shop: iPod & MP3 Players: Headphones: Monster's Turbine High-Performance In-Ear Headphones

Most people will say that the beyerdynamic DT 770 80ohms need to be amped but i'm telling you they dont! SURE they do sound better amped but not enough IMO for them not to be suggested to someone going ampless. I power mine through a mini3 but whenever the battery dies i have zero issues...

Mine's built from Rockhopper Audio but you can find the blueprints for a mini^3 from AMB Labs official site The Mini³ Portable Stereo Headphone Amplifier Sweet sweet amp for the price, its a little big for out of the house portable IMO but its great for around the house DAP listening with...

80 ohms Quote: Originally Posted by Marky67 Are you using the 80 ohm's or the 250 ohm's And yea maybe OP's looking for upper bass?

I still find it a little weird, my 770s have a great amount of bass being powered through my ipod. I just think you prefer the bose bass, but i think sticking with the 770s for a week and then switching to the bose will help you appreciate them more. I vouch for the amp tho, if you're...

Tried the shure 210s and they were really anemic. Nice in the highs and clear but just no life or bass. Half off 530s i'd be ALLLLLLLLL other that!

Decided to post my thoughts and appreciation on the beyerdynamic DT 770 / 80 because i had a hard time deciding what headphones to buy and i just wanna share my new found love for these 'phones... So i was looking for a pair of closed headphones that i could use to listen at home that had...

I just got a pair of these and i really dont think they NEED an amp and that you will really enjoy them out of your ipod. I tried them with a mini3 and the result was just slightly better but my battery was almost dead so i'll try them with the amp fully charged tonite but i'm not expecting a...

My babies... Ipod 30gb 5G, LOD, Rockhopper mini^3, Atrio m5

I know this is probably my 5th post on the subject but im really close to buying a pair of fullsized headphones for home use, but i'm still hesitant being in Canada in all and headphones aren't that easy to try and purchase, but here goes. I'm thinking i need a nice pair of closed headphones...

Thx HeadphoneAddict, i appreciate the quickness and the impressions. Wow i didn't think the nuforce could power a 300ohm set like the Senns, that's also good to know...

So after contacting the seller he's gonna send me a new one and i'll send him back the one i have. Really easy to deal with and he's crazy quick...i'll update once i get the new cable.

I think these are considered bass monsters so i would be surprised if the Fiio did anything good for them besides maybe a volume boost. I know that my atrios plus the fiio wasnt the best combo cuz it made the bass a muddy, uncontrolled. Are you looking for a portable amp or a home amp? Check...

I've never seen anyone with them behind the back out in real life...

Does this amp kinda loose juice when powering two headphones at the same time or is there no discernable loss in quality...even with high impedance headphones? Sucha great price for an amp this size

So do the SE530s really get a benefit from amping??...whenever i use IEMs outta my macbook they always seem to have more juice than other devices. I can see the use of the DAC but i was wondering about the MBPs HP out

The more and more i use this cable, the more and more audio cut off i get. The music will just stop playing, and i have to shake the cable until it comes back on. Prolly a bad connection, i emailed the seller, we'll see if he decides to exchange mine
