Hi all Are there any ear pad that are for other branded headphone that will fit the Fiio EH3 NC? The original proteins leather ones tear easily and virtually impossible to order a replacement. The only option is the mesh one but my order was cancelled twice by the China supplier. Thanks

Thanks PiontyFox for explaining it in more precise manner

For strong bass, Meze 99 Neo.. But they are not detailed sounding, they are fun sounding.

I use a Gustard U12 reclocker and am pleased with the results. Prior to having it, all my 3 DAC (Gustard x9, SMSL Sanskrit 6th, and Topping D50s) have some digital glare at the top end. With the U12 installed, even the cheap SMSL Sanskrit 6th sounds better (better instruments separation, no...

Hi MichielS, The MDR-1A and 1AM2 sound almost similar and IMHO does not see the upgrade to be worth it. You can try running the 1A in a balanced mode. I bought the "Earmax" branded 4.4mm balanced cable for around SGD70 (plus shipping) and it improved the dynamic and tighten up the bass. They do...

tomb, you were right. It was the relay. I actually tried to remove the plastic covering cap by wiggling in hope that I can clean the relay contact but couldn't as I found out later that it was a sealed unit. But surprisingly the problem went away. Now I can hear the relay click after a few...

Thanks, Tomb. Your explanation does make sense. I am not good with electronics but I can understand the relays are to protect the speaker/headphone. With the attached picture, is the relay circled in green? I searched Youtube to identify what is a relay. The reason I ask about which...

Hi all, Looking to seek any advice on this issue. I bought a used Lite Audio E100 headphone amplifier about six months ago and recently noticed that the right channel had low volume from a cold start but after about 15 minutes of playing the issue disappeared. This issue is repeatable and...

What about the Sony MDR-1A?

You mean.. dubstep, drum and bass, future bass, trance, house, deep house and etc.

Hi Seniors and Gurus, I have narrowed down a few DAP, read reviews but want to reach out to the seniors over here for your opinion and advise. Though I understand sound is very subjective, do share with me which of them in your view, can be more full-bodied and darker sounding? Otherwise you...

Thanks megabigeye for your kind advise. Sorry for the late response as I was busy with work. I have not purchase any BTR5 or the Q5S as I am also looking at other option. Thanks for sharing about the Quelix 5K. they look slick and elegant.

I chance upon some info on my queries. Yes, both unit support Bluetooth streaming from phone and support LDAC. I am not sure about if BTR5 can drive the MDR-1A well but I have decided on the Q5S instead. Sorry for the false alarm. I should have done more research prior to posting the questions.
