Thanks for the advice! I don't want a "on-ear" headphone, would rather have something bigger. Yes, I am really disappointed in the X3. From all the reviews and things I read I thought they would be amazing. The bass is the most disappointed thing. Muddy, overblown and boring.

After reading all the glowing reviews about these headphones, especially in regards to it's sound quality, I decided to buy them. However, after trying them for a couple of days I am...disappointed. They sound good, but not great. I am coming from a Fidelio X2 (which I love), but I wanted...

Is it worth to buy a decent amp? I have the Fiio E6, I'm thinking about upgrading to E10 (or something in that pricerange, any suggestions)? I notice that the sound is better, even with the Fiio E6, so I' wondering if it's worth it to upgrade it. 

I'm looking for something that has a similar "slightly warm and fun" sound of Sennheiser Momentum, but with a bigger soundstage. I recently bought the Philips Fidelio X2, it's really good, but it lacks some bass, and I like it when the sound sounds really close to the ear, if you get what I mean...

Thanks guys! It seems the wise choice is to wait for the samsung S7, I'm not such a big fan of LG phones. I was hoping the Sony Z5 would be good, but it seems I have to wait.   Mythos   I guess you were referring to me. I'm new to this kind of forum and I didn't have time to go through all...

I was hoping to get some info. I'm planning on buying a new smartphone. I'm trying to decide between Sony Z5 or Samsung S6/Edge, which one would be better for audio quality? Also, I'm open to other suggestions (new phones only).

I'm looking for a smartphone that can handle flac and also be a great portable device for my music. I'm currently torn between Sony Z5 and Samsung S6/edge. Which one would be better? I'm open for other suggestions too. 

I have the sony f806, but lately it has been lagging when it comes to the screen, and the battery life is pretty bad. I need to recharge it everyday, so it's getting quite annoying. Is the sony f886 worth buying in this case? Does it have better batterylife, screen and audio quality, or is it...

Hi! I'm having a bit of a problem choosing between these two. I'm planning on using them when I'm outside, but also when I'm watching movies or just when I'm inside. I have never had an over ear type of headphones, but I have tried them. I have found that they sound a bit muffled, so I have...

That's a shame. What is "headphone based players"?

I'm really starting to go for the F-series, is Sony thinking about coming out with a new one?

The F sounds really good.  I really don't like treble, is there a problem with that?

But is it boring? I want something that I can listen to when I'm out, and something that I can actually enjoy. I like having the detailed sound, but I want it to be fun, and I plan to use it almost everyday. 

Music is the most important factor. I'm not going to watch movies, just use the internet and music. 

I'm on the verge of buying one of these, but I don't which one I should get. I have read a lot about them, and this is my summary of it: Sony Walkman F: - Really portable - More detailed sound - Better batterylife - The sound quality is a little better.   Sony Walkman Z: -...

I'm kind of torn between which one I should buy. From what I've read, the sony z is superior in the sound department, but with how much? Is it worth buying the sony (that cost the same as the ipod), but it doesn't have a camera or anything special. Which one should I go for? I mostly have flac...

Yes, perhaps 400 euro (well actually we use kronors, not euro) is a more correct way to say it, I just thought it might be easier since a lot of members here are from the USA. The problem with iRiver ak100 is that they don't sell it in Sweden. 

Thanks for the answers. I've had a cowon s9, but the power button is broken so I'm heading for a new mp3 player. I like the sound of the cowon, it's very detailed, but kind of boring.   My issue with the Z is the batterylife, I want something that I don't have to recharge everyday. How long...

Hi! I'm thinking about buying a sony Z walkman or a cowon Z2, but I'm just wondering if I should buy it, or wait for a new model? From what I've heard the Sony Z walkman is pretty bad in the batterylife and the cowon Z2 overheats fast and the screen is pretty laggy. I know that the sony F...

Thanks for the replies. The problem with the cowons are that they are kind of boring, they are great at sound quality, but most of the stuff with it is pretty mediocre. I really want something with a good audio quality, and something you can use internet with. Does Sony or Cowon have anything...

Hi! I'm searching for a new mp3 player since my cowon s9 doesn't work (well the power button doesn't work). My first priority is that the mp3 player got a nice audio quality, but having good batterylife is also important. Almost all of my music is in flac, so that's important. Should I just...

Bump

Hi! I'm torn between these two, which one is the better one? I'm looking for fun portable headphones that are comfortable with a smooth sound. I mostly listen to metal and rock (alice in chains etc) and some pop.   Which one is better?    Regards

Hi! I'm searching for a portable amp for a Sennheiser HD 650, what will give it a decent sound? I'm thinking about a mini3 amp, but I don't know if it will do.   I'm using a Cowon S9 and my Asus G73JW laptop with mostly FLAC.   Thanks!

Hi.   So I bought these headphones a couple of days ago. It's really comfortable and the isolation is great, but the "trebly" and harsh sound is really a letdown, and the sibilance is killing my ears.   Are there any portable headphones that have a more "warmer" sound without the...
