    The best sounding over-ear portable headphones under 500$?

    Were you referring to me? Haha. Sorry I'm confused.

    The best sounding over-ear portable headphones under 500$?

    My rig is iPhone 6 Plus -> Apple CCK -> FiiO E07K Andes -> FiiO Oyaide Copper cable -> H6. The E07k amps up the bass nicely which the H6 is quite lacking. Never looked back ever since. I think I've found the best sound signature ever. At least that's what my ears think. ;) Added: And the FiiO...

    Reply to review by 'alleggerita' on item 'Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6'

    Absolutely agreed here. Details (especially in the highs and miss) are tremendous. When I first listened to it I thought it sounded fantastic but left me a bit cold at the same time. But I desperately wanted a replacement for my ageing ATH-ESW9. But I wasn't prepared to pay USD300-400 for it. I...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    As I've mentioned earlier, if you don't mind amping, the H6 can easily be the best all rounder IMO. I pair it with a FiiO aux cable with Oyaide copper wires to give it that bit more warmth and also with my iPhone 6 Plus paired with FiiO E07k portable DAC with Apple's Lightning to USB CCK to...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    My current (kinda finalised, because I'm a broke ass student) set up now is H6 with FiiO's RC-MH1 headphone replacement cable with PCOCC-A copper wire, FiiO E07k Andes, Apple Lightning to USB CCK and iPhone 6 Plus. Never been happier. The cable is the final jigsaw puzzle piece. The high...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    It's never been moist or wet whenever I put it into the bag. Pretty bad customer service too. The receptionist was trying to convince me it's wear and tear and it will happen when the leather patinates. So I was trying to tell her it's black marks on the leather, it ain't patina. Haha. Should...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    Unfortunately I hadn't have the chance to run my H6 in for 48 hours. Barely 1 week into my ownership of my H6, I had to send it in to the service centre. The black felt bag had transferred colour onto the natural leather of my H6. Black marks all over the lambskin earcups and calfskin headband...

    Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H6 Discussion Thread

    I really do believe it does improve with burn in I too bought the H6 purely for the clarity and details it gave me. But on first hearing it was quite shrill and tiring on my ears But after just 10 hours of looping my playlist, things got better. Bass is slightly more prominent and trebles are...

    Fiio E07k connection with iPhone 5

    That makes more sense now. Maxing out the volume on my iPhone, I can set 0dB gain on my E07k with the volume on the amp at 32/60. Thanks guys. ;)

    Fiio E07k connection with iPhone 5

    Can anybody shed some light? Am I doing things right? I have the connections right. iphone 5 -> Lightning to USB CCK -> USB to Mini USB -> FiiO E07k -> Headphones. But problem is with volume. My iPhone still needs to be cranked up to around 3/4 volume and FiiO E07k needs to be in 6dB gain plus...

    Thank you for clarifying. I will be getting my CCK and E07k next week. So hopefully it works without a hitch! Many thanks again!

    Fiio E07k connection with iPhone 5

    So is it a problem with the E17? Read a lot of people failed with this set up even with USB Charging turned off. And with this USB adapter that you suggested, doesn't it mean I can't bend the cables and carry my iphone and E07k as one piece? Haha.

    ios7, iPhone and Apple CCK

    Sorry just a question. Will this work: iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) -> Apple Lightning to USB CCK -> USB to Mini USB cable -> FiiO E07k Andes (USB Charging off) -> Headphones Will this work or there MUST be a powered hub in the middle? Or will it not work at all?

    Fiio E07k connection with iPhone 5

    Sorry if this question has been asked a million times. But I just wanna confirm it beyond all doubt before I plunge in and buy a E07k. iPhone 5 -> Apple Lightning to USB Adapter CCK -> USB to Mini USB Cable -> FiiO E07k Andes (USB Charging off) -> headphones. Or will it not work?
