Haven't made up my mind yet. I did order the M11 and I have to say it sounds significantly better than the X5iii. It arrived yesterday and with the Fidelio X2HR it is fantastic! I was considering Sennheisers and it's good to know that they work well with the M11. Most of my headphones are around...

Thank you! Honestly I am not a tech nerd, so all the specs I read don't really mean much to me. I understand that the higher impedance phones need more power. And that the sound better, if they get enough power. There are quite a few high impedance models like Sennheiser HD600 (300 ohms)...

Thank you for your reaction. I had ordered the Meze 99 once (not the Noir) but they were way too dark for me. So I sent them back. I also had the Hifiman HE400. They went back as well. They sounded flat and boring. Besides the build quality was quite poor. I had to re-assemble it after delivery...

I listen to pop/rock. Some progressive rock, and mostly the older music. 70's was the best period I think. I don't like flat cold sounding headphones. I stille have my AKG K501 that I bought in the eighties. It's great for acoustic music (jazz/classical), but for pop/rock it sounds flat and...

Hello all, I'm using a Fiio X5iii with several headphones (B&O H6, Fidelio X2HR, 1More triple, Sennheiser Momentum 2, Soundmagic HP150, Grado GW100). The UI of the Fiio is not it's strongest point. I have updated and down-dated again. I have been looking for a new DAP and there are several...

I expanded the "collection" with one more set of headphones: the B&O H6 2nd generation. I trusted your advice and a lot of good reviews online. Again I bought them on Amazon Germany. Don't know why but prices there are a lot better than here in the Nethelands. Lowest price here is 299,- Euro's...

I'm curious about the Hifiman Edition S. I have spent hours on the internet reading reviews of all types of headphones. Also saw a lot of reviews on YouTube. But that doesn't really help because every reviewer has his own taste and opinion. At one point you think a certain headphone fits the...

I got the silver pair. There was no choice between gold or silver. It arrived today (not bad, 2 days since ordering it in Germany). It all looks quite premium, nice packaging etc.). I haven't listened to them much yet but first impression is great. In combination with the Fiio X5III I'm very...

I took the gamble! The 1More headphones were available on Amazon Germany for 170,- Euro's. So I ordered a pair yesterday. They will arrive early next week. I'll let you know how they sound. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your feedback. I don't listen to MP3, only FLAC or WAV or DSD. So that will not be the problem. The Genesis album I mentioned is a remastered FLAC album. Of course it is all subjective and a matter of taste. I have the HD releases of most Rush albums. Sound great on the HP150: very...

Thank you for your reaction. I will check out the reviews when I get home tonight. I must admit I have never heard of this brand. Their IEM's are available in my country but no-one is selling the over ear headphone's. I could get them on Amazon, but I think the price would go up due to import...

Thanks ProtogeManiac! I returned the Hifiman and the store I bought it from advised me against the Focals. They should have the same sound as the Meze's. He advised me to go for the Grado SR325e. I'll let you know!

Hi, I am Marc and I just joined this great forum. For a long time I mainly listen to music through a DAP and a set of headphones. I started with an Ipod Classic, then connected it to a Fiio E12. Later I bought the Fiio X5 and last year the X5III. Somewhere in the 80's I bought a new AKG K501 and...
