FiiO Mont Blanc/E12 portable headphone amp, 880mW, slim design, full metal case. Bass boost and Cross feed!
Sounds good! and I trust that you are more knowledgeable but if everything is at max until the E12 in that sound loop wont that introduce distortion into the sound? I understand its just a signal strength thing but is distortion only introduced when the drivers in the headphone are too loud...- oats2012

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
Hey guys recently picked up some hd 598's!!! I have a question : Do these sound a bit harsh for a while before they are burned in fully? Try not to flame me too hard but I am impressed with the detail they bring out of the music but sometimes it is almost fatiguing to listen to? I haven't...- oats2012

not that I can tell. Drive very nicely from an old sony cd player i plugged them into. so should be just fine (like cant forsee an issue) but if its a bit low for you then you can get a small cheap fiio and itll bump it up well or even something like a jds labs cmoy amp for $60 and that would...- oats2012

I own the X1 and can vouch its fantastic. Demo'd the AKG K550 in a best buy today (was looking for momentums) And unless theres something im just not getting about them I felt they were total garbage, like zero bass (as in literally none present). Now this may be that they were not being amped...- oats2012
