The 400i's are on sale for $249 on Amazon right now. Just got mine  

  I mean the 400S.   And thanks for the reply, amigomatt!

Hi folks, After a lot of reading, I decided to buy some HE400S. Can't wait to get my hands on them. These will be my first pair of higher end headphones, upgrading from Grado's SR60 which served me well for 5+ years.    I need some advice on amps. I have the following at my disposal, how...

Hi, thanks a lot for the info. I actually own these products and I'm not really planning on buying anything else. I will do some more research, but if they're not enough for either of these 2 headphones, unfortunately it might be a deal-breaker for me. 

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. After some more reading, I decided to go for something different than Grado. I'm still looking for something with some "personality" and on the warmer spectrum (which is what the ATH-M50 were not, IMO. They sounded kind of flat and neutral, and I probably...

To be honest, the Grados are the only high-quality headphones I've heard (apart from the ATH-M50) so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I think its bass is really good. I'll have a look into the Alessandro, thanks! More recommendations are definitely welcome 

Hi all, I've had the Grado SR60 for 5 years and it's time for an upgrade. I absolutely love their sound and would like something that resembles it to some degree. I've actually had the ATH-M50 for a few months and despite all the good things I was reading I still preferred the Grados over...

Hey everyone, I'm sure this has been asked and answered before in this thread, but could someone please point me to an explanation on how to create/manage external playlists on the X3?  Thanks in advance

Any news on how to fix the 'unknown artist' problem in firmware 3.30? Or is it just me having this problem? (tags used to read fine, but after installing 3.30 I get 'unknown artist' for every file) Cheers

Just installed this, pretty cool theme  This might already have been answered in the thread, but is there any quick fix for the 'Unknown artist' problem with this new firmware? much obliged. 

  an update, for what it's worth: I have since deleted all my music from the device and sd card. I am now keeping only FLACs with no embedded album art. That way, the device is super responsive and quick, and hasn't frozen since, not even once.  (my previous 'music' folder contained mostly...

    Thanks for the replies.  I've turned gapless playback on and so far, so good. I'll will try the beta fw if I keep getting the problem. :) edit: oh well. as soon as I posted this, the X3 froze.  Also, any simple way of disabling artwork display? (Or maybe an easy way of...

Hey guys. After reading this forum for a while,  a couple of months ago I decided to finally buy the X3.  I love the sound quality, like every one else, but I do have one important complaint, and I was wondering if you guys could help me: My X3 freezes very often. I like to listen to songs on...

Thanks for the reply. I might just get FiiO's LOD cable to see the result. You amp looks great but it's way above of my budget. I hope the amp i already have will be good enough.

hello everyone,   I've just bought an iPod touch and i'd like to know how to make the best of it, SQ-wise. I've been reading some good things about LOD + amp, BUT, would it be worthy for me to get them even though I only listen to .mp3s? My mp3s are all V0, and some 320, but I figure all...

hi everyone,   Here's what I need: - minimum 30GB of storage - no video needed - no touch needed - not expensive   I have a Clip + but I think the navigation is a bit of a hassle when there's that much music in it.   I'd like to spend less than $200, if possible. what are...

Quote: Oh, now I see that mp4nation ships worldwide for free. I was guessing the $39 M1 + shipment on mp4nation would cost me more than the $47 shipped M2 on ebay.   I think I'll get the M1. Thanks you both :)

unfortunately I can't find the FXC80 shipping outside the US/Canada. For me,  the M1s will end up being more expensive than the M2s. Would you still pick the M1 over the M2 in that case? (they both sound good to me. mind that I'm no audiophile, and I probably just love the RE2 'cause they're...

  Quote: The RE0 sounds like a great one but it`s a little too expensive for me right now. I`m gonna spend $ 50 max. I`ll look into these 3 other earphones you mentioned, thanks.   I`ll also look into the M1. How do they compare to the M2 in terms of sound quality? By the way...

Hi everyone,   I couldn't find any comparissons between these 2 earphones. Could someone tell me how they compare? I own the RE2 and love them, unfortunately I've managed to break them. I`ve been reading good things about the M2s and I`m ready to buy them, but only if they`re really an...

Hi everyone I need help to decide between these headphones. (or if anyone got a better option, I'm also open) I'll be using the cans mainly with my electronic drum set, so I need some good bass and sound clarity. I'm on a very tight budget, so I'm going for the cheapest acceptably good...

Cowon iAudio 7 sounds close to perfect for you it's what i want to get, too. take a look at this review - http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f15/co...-shots-418430/

well i might try it. I'm almost buying the Fuze. Has anyone already tried both the iAudio and Fuze? is there a noticeable difference on sound quality? (i'm far from an expert, i can't even tell a V2 from a FLAC file normally, and i rarely mess with the EQs)

i don't really hear much difference neither (except for the bass) i use it mainly to save the mp3 player some battery mine fell on the ground and now the little light won't go on when i'm recharging it. i think it's still recharging fine, though. and let me ask something, since we're...
