If I were you I would return them and save for something else. Unless you genuinely think you got a defective pair.

I remember listening to a pair and thinking the same thing. Have you listened to other headphones before? *edit My bad. But I remember the portas having a much better sound versus the M50's. When I put the M50's on I immediately thought it was very plastic and cold sounding.

I remember trying the 7100 side by side next to the 5000. As well as the 600. My main problem with the new generation was that they seemed slightly more controlled. Neither headphones were confused in anyway. The new series just sounded controlled making it sound a bit boring next to the 5000...

If you have had an amp from them you know they have decent sound quality at a good price. But if you look harder at the solders in the devices(E11 E17) you will see they are cold solders. Meaning that over time under cold/heat/vibrations they will wear out and have to be touched up. If you are...

I've had 2 break on me and one came DOA.

In order to understand this title I would have to explain my story.... My girlfriend(for our anniversary) bought me a Fiio E-17 on last September. It was all fun in the sun and I enjoyed it with my D5000's. I felt like I was starting to really get into headphones and actually cared about how...

I'm still watching this post. If we get more people.....

Yeah. It would be nice if we could plan one but we need more people.

Anyone interested in trying to start a meet in Albuquerque? I'm a student at the University of New Mexico and I see beats all the time. I want to know if there is anyone that actually appreciates headphones somewhere.

Quote: Ohhh no. If you liked the M50s you could possibly like the discountinued denon sound. And let me correct myself. They are closed backs but with the space between the drivesr and pads the frame creates makes them leak like semi to semi-open cans. If you want some good bass the...

The Denon2-7k are not built like tanks. They are built more so like an expensive china set. Made well, but something you don't take on a picnic. And they say semi open but they leak alot and outside noise bleeds in.

No. I made three pieces and put some fiberloft for padding and sewed them together.

I used the old pleather pads and made my own Velour pads. Any one else try something like this?

I would take pictures.

I will say if you want to take a step up you'll hit high end headphones. The T1's are like refined 880's in my opinion although I don't own them so take it with a grain of salt. That's if you like bright headphones too. Beyerdynamics have that peak in the treble. If I were you I would probably...

Funny coincidence but my left driver too was rattling except I have the 5000's. And the rattling only happened with a sub bass songs I had. For a while I had to trouble shoot the problem. And found it was a hair in the driver. I didn't use compressed air. But I blew on the driver with forceful...

Let me begin by saying. My E11 has been abused to a very high point and this thing is still running. If your low on cash and need a handy little amp,then don't search anymore. Buy this now!

Yeah. But it's starting to appear I should just buy a home one. If the odds are my third one will break then I'll probably have to get a refund.

Ehhhh. Bought an E11 and then wanted to have a DAC. I buy an E17 from J&R new. So my first E17 broke on me and I finally got it replaced. Second one comes in. Second one won't turn on without being plugged in. I've reset it multiple times. I think I may never buy another fiio product again.

With all this modding on the AH-DX000 series anyone ever experience a "grattle"? I can't really think of the word if it's denon. Drattle? But yeah. Anyone?

I've been using some CAL!'s (creative aurvana live) got it used off amazon for 65. Pretty neat headphone.

Can spilling water on a cable affect how the driver sounds? Talking about the stock denon 500 cable.

Awh. Mayne. Ignorance is bliss. Since I was in 5th grade I can remember hearing a difference. I let a guy try my D5000's on. He only owned skullcrushers. He said they weren't that good. I could'nt touch his skullcrushers without it actually crushing my skull with bloated bass. Some people hear...

All Alone by fun.

So the sibilance is apparent. This is my first IEM and I'm thinking I may return them. But I believe in a burn in so I'm waiting. But my main problem is they sound so muffled compared to my D5000's. I know I shouldn't compare over ear headphones but the whole muffled thing may be the deal...
