My Beyer Dt990's Bump with the bass boost on my minibox e+ switched on. Finally overpower the treble but I only use it for hip hop. It's a fun change to have some punchy bloated bass.

So my brother just brought over The Basilisk Dvds. I think there are about 5 that he gave me to watch. I never even heard of it. Any quick summary of what i'm about to get into. Even if something is bad I usually watch them to the end and 5 dvds worth of bad anime is a long waste of time lol!!

Ibuds! but only till the PK3s get here. Can't lug an amp around today..

Glad im not the only one. And I'll still be keeping the minibox around for my other headphones, it's a fun little amp.

love my Minibox e+. I was coming from a PA2V2 so it was quite a jump. Using it with Yuin PK1s and especially the DT990 05 with the bass boost pressed it pounds on hip hop lol. Very overblown but hey its fun. Great amp.

I have the 990 05' and the 880 05'. I bought the 990 used with a couple hundred hours on them and the sound is great. Big soundstage, bassy, with somewhat of a bright treble but i love them. Now the 880 i only used for maybe 10 hours so they weren't broken in yet. But they sounded very smooth...

I'm picking a pair of these up soon as well. Just for work as lugging around the pk1 and minibox e+ combo is getting a little cumbersome. Hoping its more of a sidegrade than a downgrade with all the good things i've been hearing.

It definitely needs the rechargeable batteries. With the regular 1.5v batteries I had a hiss in my yuin pk1s but that went away once i put in the rechargeables. Great little amp though and Gary is really a nice guy.

Wow star those audio technicas look great... I want some now =)

My minibox e+ is the one with the red buttons instead of the switches and my adapter says.... Input: 100-240vac 50/60hz Output: 18vdc 500ma

Just watched a post game interview with Lebron James after an olympic basketball game and he was wearing the Beats. Did anyone else catch that? He had them hanging around his neck.

What kind of foams are you using in earbud mode? Full foams, no foams or donut ones? Personally I use the full foams from radio shack and they seem to increase the bass of my PK1. I don't know if it is because they are a little thicker and give me a better seal or what but i'd try them out if I...

I was thinking the exact same thing and I might just go with the PK3s since there a little cheaper and I wouldn't be using the canalphones anyway. Downgrading from my PK1s+amp for much more portability.

Sweet. Thanks for that link Dark I've never heard of that show before. Lots of good stuff there.

Pk1 is definitely the best earbud i've ever heard. I have lots of fun listening to it and the bass boost on the minibox e+ is massive. I can't believe sometimes how much bass these buds can put out. It's fun with some music, but unfortunately i'm gonna be downgrading to maybe some PK3 or OK3s...

Good to know I was just looking at those silicone pads from radio shack and wondering about them. Thanks for saving me the time and money.

Try out the Radio Shack earbud foams. They come in a pack of 4 for $5. Have alot more thickness to them than the donut foams my pk1s came with. I seem to get a much better and fuller fit. Plus the added bonus of actually making my earbuds sound better to me as well.

When I was using my ipod/amp from the headphone out before I received my LOD I would set the ipod volume to no more than halfway. I would let my amp control most of the volume and it seemed to sound much cleaner that way for me at least.

As Mr Arroyo said the minibox e+ sounds great except the new version with the buttons like I have doesn't have the socket for op-amp swapping. It looks like they are soldered in. BTW thanks MrArroyo for that minibox pic but the inside of mine looks different unfortunately. Also the minibox...

Those sansa clips are sweet. I'm going to have to pick one up. I love the ultra portable style.

I'm also looking to pick up a DT880 05' from the for sale section. I only have my minibox e+ right now but i've been looking at the little dot mkII. Seems the best bang for the buck but the mkIII is tempting as well if I could only stretch the budget some more.
