Hi everyone. I'm new, so sorry for starting a thread that's no doubt been posted a million times. Also sorry if it's in the wrong place. I'm after some new in ear headphones for under AU$300. My hifi shop suggested the B&W C5s, but I don't know enough about the other brands in the price point...

Hi everyone I haven't owned many headphones, so I lack experience and I am asking for advice. I had the ath-m50, but then I upgraded to the dt-1350. It was a very good upgrade. The dt-1350s have a lot more resolution leaving the m50s sound veiled in comparison.They also have better attack when...

Hi Everyone! Here's the unboxing video of the Music One CIEMS by The Custom Art. Enjoy!       First Impressions & Review coming soon

My very cheap music set up goes like the following:    PC --> optical out --> old home theater receiver --> AKG 240 Mk II    This sounded okay until I hooked up my new super cheap Sony earbuds to the home theater receiver and found they sound better than the AKG.  Below is the link to the...

I bought the m-50s two years ago for $130. They have been good headphones albeit lacking some clarity and punch. Two years ago, the fidelios were $300. Now the fidelios are $125, making me think they are a steal at this price range. I am asking if the fidelio l1 is an upgrade over the m-50 in...

do these seriously need an amp? not really. how would fiio E07k Andes affect the sound? well, I have an Audio-Technica ath-m50 and I wasn't satisfied with the sound stage at first. then I bought E07k Andes and still felt the instruments were 10 cm away from my ears... as you might know...

Hi guys. I've been a professional lurker here for years. Just about 2 years ago I bought my first pair of decent headphones, the Sony MDR-V6. I still have them and I love them, and learnt more about what I want in a pair of headphones since I got them but I still have much to learn.  ...

I'm looking for a source for my listening area. I'll be using the AudioQuest DragonFly as my dac/amp, and want to have my music library on a usb 3.0 external hdd. I don't have a lot of room or budget for a big computer or expensive ultra book. This Samsung chromebook is perfect for my size...

I do not follow hi-fi audio so closely as I used to, but in three weeks both my iPod and DCM-280 have expired... I'm thinking it would be really nice to use the bitstream from my laptop's HDMI port -> DAC -> analog receiver / LDI+. Is this an option without spending many hundred dollars?

I'm looking for another dac/amp combo like my current E07Kwhich I do still enjoy a lot but something that can offer maybe a better amp in the combo? I would prefer the sound to remain warm and powerful (as some have described the E07K as being) budget wise i'm looking at spending around...

..beside the e17? I have the e07k but need a way to connect to my ps3 digitally. What options do I have in terms of upgrading.

I want to get the 250 ohm version of Beyerdynamic DT990   I currently own Fiio E07K. Will it be enough for this headphones?

So I am on the verge of choosing this amp, but I have a few things to know about it before I do, being one of them the possibility of it not being enough for my headphones of choice.   Basically this: Is it enough to get most of my 'phones? Will I miss much or is it just little things that I...

I just ordered the Grado RS1i headphones and am wondering if the portable amp I already have--the Fiio e07K Andes--is a good match for it. Any thoughts? Your help is much appreciated.

will the  V-Moda M80 be affactive with the FiiO E07K + Colorfly C3?

Music: Rock > Rap > Pop Fiio E07K Colorfly C3 \ PC   :)

Well I have started my way to the audiophile world a month ago.   I orderd the following from ebay:   - Colorfly C3 - Check! - Fiio E07K - Check! - Audio Technica M50 - Not-Check. They probably got lost on the mail and i'm waiting for a refund.     So I need a NEW suggestion for Over\...

My budget is 280$ (although i always prefer less if possible)   Music: Rock > Rap > Pop   I have Fiio E07K amp   I prefer Over ear     thanks!!

I'm quite knowledgeable about audio equipment until it comes to DACs and amps. I'm going to be purchasing the Grado sr80i's and I hear that they work best with an amp just like every headphone. Should I spend that money on an amp instead? I own Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80ohm headphones, and I know...

What will sound better:   ClarityOne EB110 AMPed with Fiio E6   Or   JVC FXD80 AMPed with Fiio E70K   * Mobility is a bonus * Both for me are the same price.

Good day!   I have this simple dilemma. I picked up a cheap Superlux HD headphones and there's this little voice inside me forcing to use an amplifier. My setup would be, use the amplifier for my Macbook when working and at the same time for my iPhone whenever I'm on the road. So, I chose...

I have Shure SRH750DJ headphones. I am thinking about getting an amp to use with it and have a few questions.   1) Is an amp worth it for these headphones? They have a pretty low impedance, but I have heard that they still benefit.   2) Including Fiio amps, what is the best headphone amp...

first off will it make any difference with a seperate amp? i dont have any high impedance headphones, but just want a small portable dac/amp, to bypass the one in the Ipod. THANKS

Im curious if the DAC in the Nexus 4 is lacking compared to the DAC in the Fiio E07K. Would I be able to notice a difference? I just want some input from someone who has had both.   I am having a very hard time getting any info here. I have tried in two other threads, and received no...

Hi all,   I am Pretty new to the whole Portable Audio scene (bar the odd iPod and Ultimate Ears IEM's) and as a relative newbie have a restricted budget.   I have just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 to an S4 with 64GB Micro SD for tunes.  I own a pair of House of Marley Redemption Song On...
