Yeah, they've got me hooked, and the more I listen to them, the more hooked I get. The sound is just so clear and fun. The Beats were fun simply because they had so much bass, but there is so much lost and the distortion I was getting was absolutely unacceptable. These things really do bring the...

Alright boys and girls. As promised, I'm reviewing my first haul of truly nice audio gear. As a comparison, I'm upgrading from the Beats Tour in-ear headphones.   Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium 32 Ohm Upon receiving the box of joy from Amazon, the headphones come out. The first thing that...

Ha, I'll bet it is for just over a grand. That's a heck of a chunk of change for a set of cans, and if I'm paying that much for them, I'd be spending at least half that on a higher end amp than the e7/e9 combo. I'll stick in the mid range headphones, at least for now. The wallet is a little...

Oh, I'm not worried about the wallet. Being a contractor in Afghanistan has its perks. The speed of mail isn't one of them unfortunately. The only thing I'm worried about is getting sufficient volume out of them for the bass to thump a bit and the highs to sing. I have no doubt that the...

Alright, the order is in and confirmed. I'm going to be receiving the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm's, FiiO E11, FiiO E7, FiiO E9 and the L3 cable. Total cost comes in just over 450 dollars. 50% over budget, but to hell with it. I need sound. Full review will be posted as soon as all the gear...

That's why I'm getting both of the Amps, to see how much of a difference in sound there is between the two.   I know there's no way those little Amps have a chance of driving 600 ohm cans. Heck, from what I've been reading, I'm doubting that I'll get much out of them hooked up to 250 ohm...

I hear you on the battery side of things. I'm already trying to dig up some of the lithium battery packs we've got laying around out here. As long as it supplies 3.7 volts, it should work. I know I've got a 3.7v 3600 mAh pack around here somewhere. I like battery life a whole lot.   Also...

Thanks for the advice. After some more research, I've decided to put a little bit more skin in the game. My heart is set on the DT990 250 ohm phones, so I'm not only ordering the E11, but also the E7. The E9 will be following on the first of the month as a desktop setup with the E11 running as a...

I was really hoping that wouldn't be the case. I'm glad for the quick response though. I'll do some digging and see what I can come up with as a replacement for the E11. I'm really hoping to get those headphones as every review I've read has painted them in a good light. I'll research the...

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I stumbled upon this site today while looking for some headphones that won't disappoint. Up until now I've been taking people's suggestions and have been progressively more disappointed in my purchases. I honestly didn't know that there was a word for really...
