Quote: Second on this question....

Quote: Thanks for sparing me answering your initial question...I am not the best in describing differences in sound, I usually just go by the experience I get by listening to music...gut feel? :P

Quote:   I can't comment on what genres the ED8 are not good at...but I can say for what I listen to (latin jazz, salsa, mambo, big band latin, classical) it brings the instruments to life around my head.   And since having the FiiO E7 amping the ED8s, I am in a different world!

Quote: Wallet not deep at all...I have been waiting a while and really doing my research to see a) what my next headphone will be (was deciding between T5p or Ultrasone Signature Pro) and b) next portable amp / USB dac (pico / rx Mk2 / continental / E17)....still deciding   

Quote: What do you think of the T70p compared to T5p?  

Is there a review of this headphone? Interested in knowing more.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but how do the T5p compare to the T70p? Was looking at the T5p as my next portable headphone (I already have the Ed8, love 'em)....but also got recommended the T70p when I was walking around my local headphone store here in Hong Kong.   Appreciate any...

Quote: So far, the stores in Hong Kong have not got the D7000s for demo...and I've been to a majority of them. On Headfonia, been told the D5000 were a bit dry on the treble end....but they weren't sure about the D7000s having this issue.   To hear that they are NOT that bassy is...

  Been seeing all the raving reviews on the Denon AH D7000s and here in Hong Kong saw TWO stores with ridiculous deals on a pair. My question is that I am not a bass-head and not really looking for bass in my headphones, I listen more to latin jazz, afro-cuban percussion and salsa / big band...

Quote:   My regular stores here in HK also say March arrival.   I am also looking to get Beyerdynamic, but looking at the T5p. My wallet will not be thanking me anytime soon as I will also be heading to Singapore for a business trip and looking to pass by an audio store there that is...

Quote: I have the same setup as you (iPod 160GB 5.5gen and a Macbook Pro 17inch mid-2009)....and also looking at the FiiO E17 here in HK...though stock limited and prices are high on the ones that are around.   Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the E17 after use with your...

Lookin' to hopefully get this in Singapore while I am there on business next week...plus they got colours!!

This thread has helped me a lot! 

Quote:   Like yourself I am about to probably go into the FLAC space...or re-ripping some of the CDs I have to AIFF. Just imagining the work is causing my head to spin alone!!    

Quote: I am curious to see if you found an answer to your question, as I am currently searching for the same thing for my iPhone / iPod and to use with my Macbook Pro 17 inch.

Clearly didn't do my research well enough (the n00b-iphile in me) and Fostex HP-P1 will not work with my laptop...so I have to put that one on the bottom of the list for now.   Will certainly still like to consider the Fostex HP-P1, but in addition to what I am still looking in the...

Quote: Slightly confused from your response, I thought all of these models were portabel and useable with iDevices and like. Could you elaborate on your comment?  

I've recently been trying to find a top-notch portable USB DAC / AMP to use on the go. My main methods of listening to music:   - Macbook Pro 17-inch (mid-2009) - iPhone 4 - iPod Classic   Researching online (particularly and talking to people in the stores I frequent here in Hong...
