    FiiO E7 - Won't turn on

    I tried everything I could think of, but I finally decided to return it to Amazon.   So, now I'm looking for something else... I'm trying to drive DT770's (80-ohm), so the E7 may have been a little under-powered anyway, based on reviews I have come across trying to find a fix for mine. The...

    FiiO E7 - Won't turn on

    Yeah, I'm with you. I think I'm going to go with something else altogether...   I had an iBasso D3 and used it every day for about 3 years before it went kaput. I've been yearning for a new amp, so I thought I would try the E7 based on some of the reviews I've read, especially for the price...

    FiiO E7 - Won't turn on

    The computer is from late 2010, so it is the latest 2.0.   Yes, I have tried holding each button, holding and resetting, resetting then holding, etc.   The red FiiO light was on, now it is off. I am assuming it turns off once the unit has charged. The oLED screen, however, will not light...

    FiiO E7 - Won't turn on

    I just received a FiiO E7 in the mail today, and I can't get the amp section to turn on. It has been plugged in to USB for about 4 hours now, and I have tried resetting it many times. The screen will not come on, and no audio is heard. The dac section seems to be working as Win7 does recognize...

    iPhone line out cable static w/o Airplane Mode

    I didn't use shielded cable. Maybe that's it? I'm using it with an iBasso D3 amp. I don't get any static whatsoever when I plug in my headphones directly to the headphone jack on the iPhone. However, when I use either my Line out cable, or a patch cable from the headphone jack, to my amp, I...

    iPhone line out cable static w/o Airplane Mode

    I put together a line out cable for my iPhone, but I get a lot of static without using Airplane Mode. I solved some of the problem by using a ferrite bead, but I still get that horrible "cell phone static". What I'm wondering is if anyone has or has found a solution to this problem. I...

    ~$200, Closed, Comfortable...what to get?

    Ok...I picked up some DT 770 Pro/80's today from Guitar Center. What I didn't realize in the store, though, is that they are the older style with the black housing...seems to be the only ones they had there. So...what's the difference between these and the newer 2005's? Should I keep these...

    ~$200, Closed, Comfortable...what to get?

    Thanks for keeping the comments coming guys...I really appreciate it. So, the consensus seems to be the DT 770 or the A900. The 770 is what I was originally looking at, since I heard they were great comfort-wise, but I just couldn't make up my mind... Quote: Originally Posted by...

    Thanks for all of the responses so far! A couple comments... I've heard good things about the Denon's comfort level, but the 200's are a little bit more than I want to spend right now...though if the sound quality and comfort level is that much greater than the Beyerdynamic's or Audio...

    ~$200, Closed, Comfortable...what to get?

    I'm looking for a new set of headphones to move up from my $14 Sony Walmart-specials. What I'm looking for: Closed: These will be primarily for use at work, where the office is mostly open. High Comfort: This is a must. I need something I can keep on for 3 hours or so at a time. My...
