I have not auditioned that one unfortunately. Good form factor is appealing though.- AKP2123

Wire-down: yes, no significant issue for my ear but experience varies by individual ear shape and sizes. They stick just fine when not moving around. Looping around the ear does help secure them for a more consistent lock and hence sound though. All-rounder...: good enough for me in the sense...- AKP2123

Yup. Auditioned all 3 '57, '77, '97, owns 1650 - all within the context of slightly elaborate desk/portable listening setup. I won't venture into sharing notes on audio impression since it has been a few months, but I made a mental note w.r.t. to my 1650: [did not pull the trigger unless '97...- AKP2123

Adapters: Thanks. That is very thoughtful of you. I came across DDhifi - supplier to some Chinese audio OEMs whilst browsing some stores here in the region. I don’t reckon there is as much engineering in metal fabrication and selection of alloy for a sub $100 solution; but always curious on...- AKP2123

Thanks so much for your prompt and insightful response. Just in time before the weekend - def would try out the N6ii/E02 and M11 with the 1650. Non-fatiguing depth and weight sound like a combination I’d been missing. 🙏🏻 Great point on the 4.4mm out <> adapter. Had not considered that. I...- AKP2123

hi Jackpot77 - curious which amp module you are using on your N6ii to drive your 1650, and if you would characterize the resulting sound as [dynamic] vs [relaxed]? I am in the market for DAP having searched for a desktop DAC/Amp for so long. Also wondering what other DAP / DAC / AMP you...- AKP2123

FiiO E7 is half dead
Thanks - the fix works for me too. Not quite sure why it worked, but it did! It did not quite work immediately, but I did some wiggling around on the Aux input jack. After a few tries, both output lines just (magically) work.- AKP2123
