I currently have a Lumia 920 and just received my Shure SE535 a few days ago. Looking to get a cheap portable amp to begin with an update later. Looking for something small which can fit into my pocket.   Anybody here using the FiiO E6 or E11? Is it worth going for the E11?

Awesome, thanks for the replies. I'll look up some reviews on what has been suggested. How are the Shure SE535's? They're supposed to be excellent from what I've read and I can get them for $399 shipped.

Hi guys, It's been ages since I last posted and I have been out of the loop with headphones for the past 5 years or so. I'm looking to get new IEM's and want to spend $300-400AUD. I mostly listen to electronic music and will be running my music through my phone (Nokia Lumia 920). I'd like...

Have you seen the latest Creative UI? ****s all over the iPod UI imo.

Bought a pair of Shure E4G's about three weeks ago, upgrading from Shure E2C's. Fantastic stuff

I instantly noticed the difference between my E2c's and E4g's when I got them but it didn't seem a huge step. After about 4 or 5 days of solid burning in, the E4G is simply miles ahead, I can't go back now

I too notice a big drop in sound quality when going from 192 or above down to 128, especially with certain kinds of music. I think it has a lot to do with what is going on in the music file at the time so generally I'll encode my MP3s at 192kbps CBR or 192-320kbps VBR0.

^ Well said, couldn't agree more

^ I don't think you'll be dissapointed, its a fantastic player, the best all rounded player on the market imo

The Zen Vision:M, iAudio X5, iRiver H320/340 do this. The ZVM imo is the best

The Zen Vision:M 60GB is due out soon, seriously I'd recommend waiting out for that, its an awesome player and when you see the jump Creative have made from the Touch to the Vision:M, you'll be extremely impressed

I don't use video all that much on my Vision:M but I stilll love it to bits because of the fantastic sound quality and excellent screen. It's just a joy to look at when using. And when you do watch videos, its great. The high res TV out is also handy for when you want to watch something at a...

Zen V/Plus 4GB Sandisk Sansa 4 or 6GB

I'd say the ZVM for sure. Dropped it twice onto hard tiled floor from about 1.5-2.0 metres high and it survived both times

I'm really bad at taking pictures but here's my rig

I just upgraded from the E2c's to the E4G's this week (had the E2c's for over a year) and the jump in sound quality is amazing, especially on my Zen Vision:M and when using with my X-Fi at home

Mine had the same problem and they replaced it under warranty. I'd contact them first by email to see what they can do.

Looks pretty good but there's no way I'm paying $60 USD for that. I'll stick to my sync adapter and home made gold plated 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable for now

Personally, the way I see it is that in 2-3 years when the battery has run its course, I will probably want a new DAP anyway. I've been going through about 2 DAPs a year. Last year: Zen Touch + Zen Micro + iRiver H320 This year: Zen Micro Photo + Zen Vision:M

There are Zen Xtra and Zen Micro batteries all over ebay. I've seen the Zen Touch battery for sale on many online stores so I guess its only a matter of time

Creative replace the battery out of warranty for something like $70 but you should be able to do it yourself very easily

Theyre making AV cables with the dock connector atm, theyre all over eBay. I'd imagine it'd be easy to make a line-out cable

The Zen Vision:M supports a lot of video formats (DivX, XviD included) so no need for transcoding 90% of the time. The sound quality out of the box is also fantastic not to mention the screen quality when watching videos. Check out some reviews, it's a great player.

Sounds excellent imo, and better once you tweak the EQ. It had no problems powering my Shure E2c's so your E4's should be ok
