    It's not Amazon, it's a third party reseller, and it's because the item has been discontinued so you can't really find these anywhere anymore.

    Reply to review by 'pb8185' on item 'iFi iCAN headphone amplifier'

    Great review! Although I saw that ifi recently came out with the ifi idsd micro, which seems to be both idac and ican rolled up into one with a much more powerful amp section. Hope you will get a review unit and give us some impressions.

    does the m50x sound better than the gr07?

    Yeah, I took a gamble with the bass edition (newest classic version), and I think to me I would have preferred it over the normal ones. The classic version is only 699 CNY, so a bit over 100 USD, with a sound signature that is supposedly closer to the original vs. the MKII according to the...

    does the m50x sound better than the gr07?

    the GR07 has definitely spoiled me. I hardly ever touch my M50s anymore, and when I do, I quickly switching back to the GR07 because the sound is so much more natural, especially the mids. The M50 also doesn't drive well through my phone or pad, and as I push the volume towards the maximum the...

    Less bass on my macbook pro than a pad?

    Well, on the mac I usually listen at 30%, and 70% on the nexus, but I'm not knocking the nexus 7. I refuse to connect my earphone to my phone now because quality is that much better out of the nexus. The more I listen to myself the more truth I feel to your original statement of automatic EQ. I...

    Less bass on my macbook pro than a pad?

    Thanks, that sounds like a very likely explanation. Although I still feel like I'm hearing a change in pitch and not just gain in amplitude. Could it be distortion?

    Step up from M50's

    Do you want a full size? Generally if you complement we are talking about a different category, like IEMs, which are more portable, and won't heat you up so much during the summer? I think the price bracket you described is about the same as M50. If you want more bass I'd maybe consider one of...

    Less bass on my macbook pro than a pad?

    Hi everyone,   I'm an audio newbie. The earphones in question are the GR07, which I recently acquired. I usually listen to music on my macbook pro retina 13" when I'm at home, or on my nexus 7 when I'm on the go. I've recently noticed that listening on my mac the bass seems weaker. I listened...

    for the same price, you can get headphones that sound better, but of course, you don't wanta be walking about with big cans... it's up to you I have e3cs for my ipod, and I'm pretty impressed with the sound quality, though I wanted more bass response and I'm told they up it considerably with...

    shure e4c or etymotic er6i

    Hi all, my first post. I have the shure e3c, and I love it... until my friend broke it... he dropped it while listening to it then as he tried to look down to find it, ran it over with the wheels of my chair. the head piece broke, though no the driver (just the top part) I've glued it together...
