2 years later, but I figured I would follow up on this.  I still have the Shure SE215's and I still use them regularly.  I'm very happy with them and they have yet to let me down.  I played around with the ear tips and eventually settled on the smallest size of the flex type ear tips.  Normally...

I meant this to be a review, but I really haven't gotten around to it yet.  I just got the PA2V2 back, so I'm going to listen a bit more and then write up my thoughts.   So far I'd have to say I prefer the PA2V2 overall, but they both have pluses and minuses.  In terms of sound signature and...

EDIT: Removed unrelated pocket amplifier post.

I posted some photos of my new FiiO E11 and my old PA2V2 in a thread here:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/710966/xlubens-fiio-e11-and-pa2v2-photos-and-review   I figured I'd post the photos over here as well.  I hope that is OK.     I will update the thread with more thoughts once I have...

I posted some photos of my new FiiO E11 (and my old PA2V2) in a thread here:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/710966/xlubens-fiio-e11-and-pa2v2-photos-and-review   I figured I'd post the photos over here as well.  I hope that is OK.     I will update the thread with more thoughts once I have...

Here are the side by side shots of the FiiO E11 and PA2V2.   PA2V2, MotoX, FiiO E11, and Shure SE215.   PA2V2, FiiO E11, and Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO.   3/4 view of PA2V2 and FiiO E11.       Front view of PA2V2 and FiiO E11.

Here are some photos of the PA2V2.  Mine was the first one with a clear faceplate :)     Front view.  Clear faceplate.  Blue LED.   Rear 3/4 view.   PA2V2 opened up.   Inside the PA2V2.   Front 3/4 view inside the PA2V2.   Underside of the PA2V2 circuit board.    ...

I just got a FiiO E11 and also dusted off my PA2V2 (that I got nearly 9 years ago!).  I decided to take some photos, and I will post some more thoughts and comparisons once I have done a bit more listening on both.     First here are some photos of the FiiO E11.  I got the package on Amazon...

After many years of owning the Shure e2c, I finally decided to get some new earphones.  I ended up getting a pair of Shure SE215's.  They were used (found on the forum), but in great shape and a great price.  They just arrived today.  For now here are the photos.  I will follow up with initial...

After a couple weeks with these headphones, I still really like them.  They are nice and comfortable, and they sound very good.  I use them mainly for listening to music from my computer through the Marantz receiver, or for playing video games (also through the Marantz receiver).  I think they...

I got some Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm headhpones today!  They were a gift from my brother (he has a pair).  I have wanted these headphones for quite some time.  I really like how comfortable they are, and I think they sound great.  He got them "refurbished" off eBay (not from Beyer...

Quote: Thanks.  A lot of really good comments in there about the mod.  Some make it sound like it is exactly what I want.  But there are a handful of comments about it making the highs more shrill and the lows less prominent.  Exactly the opposite of what I'd want.  I'm still on the fence...

Quote: Thank you for the comments.  Do you have a link to the Kramer Mod?  I believe that just involves pulling out the little disc at the tip of the earpiece.  It was my understanding that this would bring forward the mids/highs a bit more.  I never did the mod because I hate harsh highs...

I posted this in a separate thread, but it was suggested that I post it in here and see if I get a better response:   Quote:   I really have no experience with most of the newer, low end stuff that is being mentioned in this thread.  Most of the models and brands I see in the...

I currently have the Shure e2's. I've had them for several years. They're still in very good shape and are used occasionally for working out and other general use. Before these I went through a handful of earbuds $100 and under as well as both the UE 5Pro and UE 5EB. I also had some of the lower...
