okay, I'm consdering either getting a fiio e5  (possibley with a LOD cable) or a fii0 e1.   head phones I'm looking to amp is a pair of JH 5 pros   I've read that over all the e1 is a bit better than the e5, but I also do a fair amount of listening on my laptop. My other main source, as...

well first off.... *contended sigh* for some unknown reason I took a longish hiatus from this forum, from shortly after they re-did them (which I am still lost in the new format...).   But anyways, I some how talked JH audio into letting me have a review sample of JH 5 and I finally have...

ahhhh.... I'm to late :(   its been a long time since I've gotten to feed a possible troll   but I agree its time for this thread to end since people seem to talking about different things, and I'm now confused as to what the OP even wanted but to my understanding he wanted to know why...

your ears might have hurt because you where using a tip to big for your ears, so you might want to try playing around with different tip sizes. The body of the IEM might also have been rubbing agianst your ear in some place, so you might want to play around with the placement to. The soreness...

Quote: ya, from what I heard the SKs also have pretty bad quality. Just that said my orginal post because it seems to be a pretty common habit ;)

oh, and just as an FYI your SK might have been breaking because you where being rough on them (wrapping around mp3 player, shoving in pockets, etc). so what ever you end up getting make sure to use the case they come with, or buy one if they don't come with one; and treat those wires nicely ;)

Quote: actually to derail the thread for a bit; depending on the genre/band you're looking for it isn't that hard to find flac files for download   *shifty eyes*   unless of course you use limewire, in which case you deserve lowest bit rate mp3s possible.

what kind of rock would be helpful to know (classic, prog,post, punk, hard....) Also what kind of sound are looking for? How important is SQ, comfort, isolation, etc to you?

Just gave the first song on the album a quick listen through my laptop speakers, doesn't seem to bad ;)   Currently downloading the flac file of their album, should be able to listen to it tommorow or friday.     I may or may not have more to comment on then      P.S. this is my...

Don't smile wide? :P But I don't think there is much you can do to avoid this, since smiling, and more so for wide smiles, shift around the ear canals which is what breaks the seal; though I'd think you wouldn't have to reinsert every time, and that the seal would come back (but I'm not sure...

nice review Though think we could get a picture with them in-ear? Even though they are labeled as half in-ear my mind still doesn't want to wrap around even half of those things going in a an ear/the other half not falling out of the ear. Though my brain just might be frazzled from school...
