Not sure if this has been posted yet so ignore if it's old news. I've had the Kipsch xr8i since they were released. I like a lot of bass, but also prefer a balanced sound signature. I've somewhat loathed these because the bass was overpowering and seemed to drown the mids and highs. Today I...

I received mine from Amazon yesterday from worldwide stereo (authorized klipsch dealer and in stock) w/ prime shipping. Curious about your thoughts when you receive them vs. the 20i's.

I have the space gray iPhone 6+ and I'm very impressed with the sound quality. I'm using the BW P7 and I'll echo what others have shared about the sound........warmer, great depth and detail, and good staging. I listen with BW P7's.

Picked up a 7th gen classic today...it sounds much better than my 6th gen and surprisingly, even better than my ipod 5.5 gen. I'm listening with Bowers and Wilkins P7 straight through the headphone jack. Thanks to all for their insight and comments in this thread...it really helped me pick out...

Eq since my iPod doesn't have one...

^ my experience out of the box was the same with the Boa, but with time it opens up quite nicely. Looking forward to some comparisons and I think we can all agree that each product they offer is very well built, sounds great and the decision comes down to price and feature comparisons.

MDR XB500 beat out any Beats product by at least 3 miles...

Np, i'm always interested in hearing/reading others thoughts re: iBasso.

^ I wish I could but I only have the amps in my sig and no access to others. Yes I'm very happy with it and I'm one of those electronics that has the money to spend, but I also respect diminishing returns and usually go mid with my toys. Not willing to break the bank for small performance...

That back switch changes the charge mode from off to on. Basically if you are using as a dac it prevents the battery from charging unless you want it to while it's plugged into USB, either way the switches are very sturdy so no worries there

The power switch is the pot circular knob. That other switch is for the impedance gain and both are very sturdy, meaning that they don't accidentally/easily do anything I don't want them to like turn off, switch to low gain etc.

160 = ibasso d2+ boa!

So I was going to get the D4, but the wife convinced me that the D2+ was enough for my gear and bought me a 1080p, 120hz, 52in Sony LCD instead for Christmas. Did I get a good deal?

I just wish my iPod could handle rockbox...

I rather like my iTunes but it did take a little bit to get used to it a couple of years ago.

Interested for someone to post how this sounds...

They shipped via UPS when I got mine and I didn't have to pay any customs fees, but I heard our northern neighbors get bent over for customs no matter who the shipper is.

I had that version of the classic (first one) and there is a significant difference to the sound.
