    Quote: What kind of cable is that?  It looks pretty nice.  I'm guessing it's also silver?

    Am I getting decent enough sound from my other equipment for my 'phones?

    Thanks.  I'll have to see what the Guitar Center has next time I'm home.

    Am I getting decent enough sound from my other equipment for my 'phones?

    The WoW reference is fine.  I am a fan of gaming.  Thanks for the reply.  The thing is, I just bought these headphones a few months ago and don't really want to go through the path of upgrading them right now.  I'm hoping to wait a few years for that, so I don't burn my wallet.  Based on what...

    Fiio E5: what the heck is going on with "3rd position" fudge?

    I just tried it.  In my case, it reduced the clarity of the individual instruments and made everything blend together.  The bass didn't really change either.  This is with my Grado SR80is and playing Parkway Drive.  Maybe each headphone responds a bit differently to the "third switch"?

    Quote: Is that a DROID X I see there?  It's an excellent device except for it's locked down nature (as a comp. sci major.. I love tinkering with all of my gadgets software). There were so many cups there!  They all looked so shiny, but lonely and in need of a home.  Good work!

    Am I getting decent enough sound from my other equipment for my 'phones?

    Hello everyone.  I was just pondering whether or not my equipment is producing a decent enough signal to get almost the most from my headphones.  I have a pair of Grado SR80is. Presently, I use my DROID X, Zune HD/120, and my Dell Studio 1747 to play media.  The only headphone amp I have is the...

    Grado and Beyerdynamic with Fiio Combo

    Quote: According to Amazon, the E9 is a desktop headphone amplifier and dock for E7 USB DAC.  "Dock connector for E7 USB DAC, also provides charging power" is listed in the technical details.  I was just wondering if the E7 somehow integrated into the E9 and made it have additional...

    Quote: Who was having problems with the bowls?  And speaking of "comfies" I do find them rather comfortable.  I know some people still don't like them, but when I'm not wearing my glasses, I feel like each of my ears has its own pillow.

    Grado and Beyerdynamic with Fiio Combo

    For the sake of not making another thread because it's sort-of on topic... other than a charging dock, are there any benefits to having the e7/e9 combo?  I can't really find anything, and my search skills might just be failing.   OT:  From what I know of Grados, they are lacking in the bass...

    Quote: See, I've read somewhere on these forums (not sure which post) that all of the drivers from the low end all the way up to the high end are actually really similar.  I'm not sure if this is entirely true or not, and you're saying it's not.  In the event that they are pretty similar...

    Quote: I feel like Amazon really wouldn't like its users to do this though... it means they're losing money.  I almost feel as though doing this too often will cause Amazon to somehow suspend your account.  I haven't ever returned anything to Amazon though, so I really can't say if this...
