I like the cable length too. But I am short :) longer iem cables tend to loop out of my pocket.

Thanks for the heads up, fortunately I got one from Norne :)

I guess they are thinking of the people who already own the pro iCan? I will stack the two and will now have a 2.5mm and 3.5mm balanced iem output. It may be easier now, but over the last months I found it hard to acquire a 2.5 to 3.5 balanced adaptor. Only options I could find in the UK where...

Will the istack pro be available?

That would make sense. Unfortunately, i listen to all kinds of music. Natural sounding classical to unnatural electronic dub step. TBH, although 90% of the time i prefer no xbass in the classical, i do sometimes feel it is needed (can look for headphone that gives the bass but then it's too...

Whether or not the sound quality is far superior, i haven't heard the V280. The reason I like Ican Pro is it's versatility. For a long time, I went with amps without any bass boost or cross feed features. Didn't like eq. I read so much about how these ruin the sound etc. Tended to have one amp...

I recently removed the front screen protector. Now im finding a noticeable difference, with the sensitivity being better now. So with this surprise I did a little more testing and found that the screen is very responsive without the protector and a bone dry finger. In my everyday life, my hands...

You tried the other tips? I tend do find them fatiguing with light bass is I use tips that are too small. With you mentioning about not using iems in the past, you may not be aware of the importance of seal.

I'm going to have to do some blind tests, or maybe my desktop amp is a coloured sound. I never felt like this with my ie80's or sony iem's, and my expectation bias is towards no difference. That's why i said i am surprised that it seems that the 800S sounded better to be from the powerful amp...

I agree, these definitely benefit from a more powerful amp. Sound excellent from my mobile phone, better from the dap and then even better from the desktop amp. I expected a jump from phone to dap, but was a little surprised at the clear difference a desktop amp made. Reading the comment above...

Any ideas on release quarter? Been waiting using the micro idsd bl as my dac, but i take it to and from work/travel and can't wait for the iDSD pro to pair with the amp so i am not reconnecting my home system every day. Thinking of investing in a dac this christmas time, but if the iDSD pro is...

They certainly aren't universal over ear. I have no problem, but i am small. Will depend on your head. However, on the S the lower part of the cable is longer, so if you had a problem with the original reaching your dap when over ear, the S is roughly 6" longer.

My amp has a 3.5mm balanced. But my understanding is that this is rare because the two aren't compatible and plugging in a se into a balanced could cause damage to the amp. So most choose not to use 3.5mm to stop accidents happening... I could be wrong.

I just read someone said that the S sounds more metallic on top when compared to the originals. I don't have the most experience describing sounds, but it caught my eye because I actually had the opposite thought but didnt even know it was a word people use to describe. When I put my originals...

Another vote for the iCan + HD800S. When choosing an amp, one of my most important features is the bass boost. For me, the music i listen to half benefits from natural with no bass boost. The other half, probably because it's unnatural sounds to begin with, i much prefer with bass boost and...
