Hi! Two quick questions: How much sound do those headphones leak? I had a plan to use them in the open-plan office and I don't want to bother my colleagues. Will I be able to drive those properly with Fiio Q5? Thanks!

I guess th610 are dynamic headphones, and t60rp are planars and everyone here and there tells that those are "hard to drive".

Hi! I am trying to figure out if Q5 will be able to drive Fostex t50rp / t60rp using balanced/unbalanced output. So far I am getting mixed signals from reddit and youtube reviews. Is anyone using Q5 with Fostex?

Hi!   I didn't want to start a new thread. So I will just right my questions here. Currently I have Cowon J3 used mainly with Westone 3 and HD25-1-II and I am thinking about the source upgrade. Is it a good idea to go for rockboxed ipod classic + lod + external amp or it is just a waste of...

Hi, I am thinking of changing my cowon j3 to hisoundaudio studio v. Currently 2 my favorite portable headphones are Westone 3 and Sennheiser HD 25-1 II. Will they pair well with studio v? I am really worried about the possible hiss problem with the Westone 3.

Thank you all guys. Ordered myself Westone 3.

May be it is a good idea to add some cash and take a um3x with removable cable?

Hi, I really need a piece of advice since I really do not know which IEM to choose: Westone UM2 RC Westone 3 Westone UM3x RC Shure SE425V Shure SE535V First of all I really not sure if I should go for triple armature and it is not an overkill to buy such IEMs for use with Cowon J3...

  Hi, guys!   I am looking for a pair of IEMs for around 50 pounds to use with my cowon j3. I had read lots of reviews and had nearly decided to go for vsonic gr06, but unluckily I found this...

Hi! Situation is similar to sixpakal's. I need a more or less portable headphones to be used with my clip+ mostly for rock, heavy metal and electronic music. It is hard to make a decision since I read in various reviews that these Koss headphones should be amped to get their full potential, have...
