I had both monk and monk plus, the main differences that I found were that monk has more bass and a warmer, forward mid (other users said that treble on the monk is more harsh but that was not the case for me) also the different types of foam used on each one significantly affect the tonality...

I am currently using the FX850 with the Shanling M2 on a daily basis, the sound is very fun and intimate in overall. I mainly use the Spinfit which adjust the sound to match with my taste (slightly tighten the bass compares to the stock tips- Spiral Dot). For the new owners you guys can try the...

Finally I can fix this issue with M2, now it completely works with all of my devices   If anyone is having the same problem just go to their website and download the "M2 USB Driver" and install it to the computer. The tricky part is that after the installation finished they will pop up a...

Thank you very much for your reply, however I could not find the mentioned Fiio thread :( Could you kindly help me to get the right one please ?   Also as I read from their user manual, M2 works best as a DAP for Window 8&10. Anyone has the same issue with the connection to PC/Laptop as a DAC...

I just got M2 for few days and glad that i did purchase this excellent DAP :) the UI is so friendly and easy to use, on top of that the sound quality from this little boy is just fantastic.   So far I can connect M2 to my Android phone via an OTG cable easily, however to make it connected to...

For anyone who has crumple pads, Yaxi sTpad just put their products on Amazon now (only pleather version, the microfiber ome might be coming soon) :grinning:. Btw, do you guys know if ATH can provide any replacement for the headband ? Mine is completely gone and i emailed them but no reply so...

IMO the default tips and Orfoton one works best with my Heaven IV. I also tried Spinfit but it doesn't give me a pleasant fit than the stock one  i heard that Spinfit has two different versions (depends on where they "made it"), is it true ?   btw which type of default tips do you guys prefer...

Thanks to @riposte that i found a replacement for the default pad .   I ordered the stPad microfiber one and it fits perfectly with MSR7, overall the stPad slightly improves the sound's quality that suited for my taste (bass is reduced a bit, mid range sounds less forward and extends the...

I had the same problem months ago, after got this Q1 all i gotta say that it would improve the sound quality of IM02 a lot, especially if you are going to pair Q1 with android cellphone. As Q1 has a low output impedance it would make IM02 sounds warmer and I haven't experienced any hiss so far...

Unfortunately, they can play only 16bit ..... artwork is working fine on mine. Just got it for 3 days and I'm totally enjoy this combo as much as I can :D great value for 250$ and you get a DAP + IEM. Only problem is that is have to use the adaptor if I want to plug in my Sr225i, and the adaptor...

Hello cel4145   Many thanks for your advice my friend . May I ask you if portable headphones needed to be paired with amps ? I'm thinking about grado/alessandro cans because they seems to be good without amps, though they are really loud as you mentioned above.....

how about alessandro ms1i guys ? :) i heard lots of good recommendations about them but never tried yet

Hello jackwess,   Thanks for your recommendation. As I remember they released Amperior and Momentum which are both portable. May I know if there are any dramatic differences between those two models ? ( since their price are quite the same  ). I have owned a pair or Sennheiser for years ago...

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here so if this thread is redundant please forgive me . Since I've started into the headphone world without any experiences so I would like to ask you guys some recommendation for a fullsize/portable headphone (around 400$).   My current targets are: ATH ESW9A...

Any suggestion about the upcoming Fiio X3 ?
