    Recommendations on upgrading from ATH M50's to other closed cans...

    I've been given the opportunity to get some Viso Nad HP50's for a decent price. Can anyone comment on the level of sound leakage?

    Recommendations on upgrading from ATH M50's to other closed cans...

    Thanks, I'll do a bit of research on those. I can get them from a reputable online retailer for $249 so if I choose them I might go that route instead even though it's $9 more expensive.

    Recommendations on upgrading from ATH M50's to other closed cans...

    So, I've seen few people mention HM5's and SRH940's. Any word on how those compare to the M50?

    Recommendations on upgrading from ATH M50's to other closed cans...

    Hi Everyone, I currently use ATH M50's plugged into a Fiio E17 and I really like the sound. But for some reason I thought recently it would be a good idea to get some decent bluetooth headphones for convenience sake at work, but after trying a couple of pairs (namely the Meeletronics Matrix2...

    PULSE wireless stereo headset - Elite Edition

    I just bought some of these the other day, but I find the clamping pressure of the headband too tight. Did anyone have the same issue? If so how did you fix it?

    Fiio E17 DAC/Amp (ALPEN) + Fiio E09K Desktop Amp (QOGIR) Pictures, Impressions and Review [UPDATED Feb. 21]

    Actually, after playing around with it a bit having the ability to control the headphone volume independently of the speakers is probably a better thing in the long run. It means that rather than unplugging my headphones all the time if I want to listen on the speakers I can simply turn down the...

    Fiio E17 DAC/Amp (ALPEN) + Fiio E09K Desktop Amp (QOGIR) Pictures, Impressions and Review [UPDATED Feb. 21]

    Yes I did. The only difference that makes is that it changes whether the controls on the E17 work or not. The E09K volume knob still does nothing to the line out volume.

    Fiio E17 DAC/Amp (ALPEN) + Fiio E09K Desktop Amp (QOGIR) Pictures, Impressions and Review [UPDATED Feb. 21]

    So I got my E09K today... And as I initially suspected the volume knob DOESN'T work when using the line out. To say I'm disappointed is a bit of an understatement... But it's not the end of the world, it just means there'll be a little bit more manual intervention required in order to use it how...

    Fiio E17 DAC/Amp (ALPEN) + Fiio E09K Desktop Amp (QOGIR) Pictures, Impressions and Review [UPDATED Feb. 21]

    So you can't use the E09K's volume knob when using the Line Out? One of the reasons I'm considering this is that I find that when using the L7 line out dock from my E17 the volume just isn't high enough unless I crank up the gain, which I don't want to do. I'm just worried the line out from the...

    Fiio E17 DAC/Amp (ALPEN) + Fiio E09K Desktop Amp (QOGIR) Pictures, Impressions and Review [UPDATED Feb. 21]

    I already have the E17 and I am strongly considering getting the E09K as well. One question though, if I was running sound from the USB port on my laptop to the E09K, which port would I use on the back of the E09K to output to speakers whilst my E17 is docked (providing I want to use the E09K...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Quote: I'm from Australia so that may be a possibility. Also, what is this clicking sound you mentioned? I haven't noticed anything like that thus far...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Just received my E17 today, and even plugged into my relatively low range Audio-Technica ATH-T400 heaphones playing lossy mp3's the upgrade over my laptop audio was awesome. :) Also as I'd hoped the E17 doesn't have issues chopping off the front of sounds like the ASUS XONAR U3 does.

    Anyone have experience with ATH-T400?

    Quote:   I just received my pair of these for the same $20 deal that I assume you were going for and even after only an hour I'm quite impressed. Sure there are better, but for $20 I don't think I could have gotten better headphones anywhere. They're super comfortable too.

    Fiio Andes (E07K) VS. Fiio E17: What's the difference, and how does it sway the amateur audiophile?

    I was looking at getting the E17 but then I noticed the E07K does pretty much everything I'll need it to do but of course it'll be much cheaper. But I do have one query which needs answering. I've been reading up on how the E10 has the issue where the first 0.7s of any new sound is cut off...
