Mini Review...…….Fiio K5 PRO vS: Fiio Alpen E17 I am definitely not a reviewer, but thought I would post a few early comparative comments on the above mentioned Fiio pieces. I only have a couple of dozen hours on the K5 PRO, so these are preliminary findings. Just to keep things in some kind...

I think it may be a bit too soon for ANY comparative reviews. Would LOVE to be wrong though, if anyone comes across any, please post them here. My K5 PRO arrives tomorrow.....no sleep tonight! Cheers, del Sol

Tx for this great opportunity. My E17 Alpen has been in use daily for a few years, sounds great, and has been bulletproof! Based on my experience with it, I am anxiously awaiting purchasing (or winning) a K5 PRO. I predict this will be a HUGE sales success! Cheers from Moncton, New...

Trying to resurrect this thread again...……… Anybody have modifications for the FABULOUS P5, Series2? Cheers, del Sol

​I'm driving mine with a relatively inexpensive Fiio E17 Alpen headphone amp/DAC, which I picked up used for $100 CDN.   It elevated the sound quality a LOT! Highly recommended.   Like yourself, my headphone search is over................unless something from Stax suddenly becomes affordable...

Oooooooops...............problem!   The VERY soft and VERY comfortable lamb-skin ear pads are also VERY easy to tear, even with a fingernail.   Be gentle with 'em.   del Sol

Been extensively listening with them for a few months now.....my impression............they are like LS3/5a's strapped to my ears!   Eargasmic.   del Sol

They sound pretty good to me at ALL volumes...............when driven by my Fiio E17, and with my gendre of music (blues).   I truly think that there is no one pair of phones that are "the best."   It's totally dependant upon the quality of the original master recording, the associated...

I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD598's, and B&W P5, Series 2.   Both good phones, but FOR MY GENDRE OF MUSIC (blues), I prefer the B&W's.   del Sol

SLIGHTLY off- topic.....but....   I just bought a used pair of B&W P5, Series2..........with the new, completely redesigned drivers.   The SQ, when playing lossless files, through a Fiio E17 headphone amp/DAC............is FABULOUS!   A definite audible improvement over my Senn HD...

EXCELLENT question!   del Sol

I also want one.....badly!   Link ?   delSol

Cerwin Vegas??????   You're kidding, right?   YECH, del Sol
