Hi! audiophile wanna be here. I started customizing my rig this year, in the past its just me + portable player + average joe earphones, but after doing some research on good earphones in the market & adding a portable headphone amp:p:cool: I'n now discovering my music once again.:):):p

  Get a Nu-Force 600X in-earphones (sound magic e10 is an option) both are good sounding device on a below $50 price range... you can add additional isolation by combining it with a Comply Ear Plug classic which is cheaper than it's isolation and comfort siblings... Noise-cancellation type...

  Personal preference... depends on the style your listening.... Beats sucks Rock.... but listening to hip- hop, RNB and dub-step .. it keeps you on the go. ******_________******

Do anyone have a chance to compare the Fiio E11 side by side with E12 mini amp using an iPod Classic ( 120 GB / 160 GB Cirrus Chip )? I've seen a review comparison on the net but using an iPod 5.5 Gen Video.  The latter has a warm signature while the classic is detail, so I can't rely on that...
