new x10i fan checking in, just ordered one on Amazon, they r on the way to me, i so excited, cant wait to enjoy them. i heard my friends x10i once before, that sound i will never forget, This is amazing, the tiny drivers make unbelievable sound with lots of details almost as much as the music...

i think the rs1 may be better choice and u need a dcent amp for   grado refernce s

Quote: thanks Vikingatheat, yes! the sr225 is my first pair of Grado, as soon as i heared the music from the sr225, i falled in love whit Grado, i am planning to sell all my other headpones and IEMs to up grade to RS1 or HF2。but i will keep my first grado sr225 with me forever.

i just got a pair of sr225 the old one without "i"  three weeks ago .they sound so great that i cant stop listening!

lol the pair wrork on me as well! cool cans!

i think the STEPDANCE  will be one of the best amp for PK1, maybe u should give them a try

Quote: yes! i totally agree that. when i set the BBE EQ on the S9，the sound out of HD598 is getting even better than it on the Fiios, the HD598 is very easy to drive full size headphones,  i think they do not really need amps. i am very intresting in PK1 as well, i decide to purchase one...

i got my HD598 for about 100+ hours and i drive them with the E16 (E7+E9) and foobar2000. i found the sound awesome! When the HD598 out of box, i feel the same as u said, the bass of hd 598 is so weak, but now the bass becomes deep and elastic, and this not all about the amp, i pluge the 598...

thank u very much for all the good advices. i heared some one said the midrange of S9 is weak, and for my two weeks listening ex is ture. the voice is little bit far to the ears. so i think a pair of earphone have good midrange would be best for the S9. PLZ  give me some more advies budget...

Any one would like to help me ?

hi guys, i am new here , just got my S9 last week. it rocks! so i need help to choose a good IEM for S9. i am thinking about the IE 8 now because there r lots of good reviews. and for the price ￡159.99 on amazon it is very attractive http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...pf_rd_i=468294...
