I was bored last week so i thought i would scout for some new in ears.. Stumbled across these FXC51, the micro HD driver and the placement of it made me pull the trigger. First impressions is very positive!  Soundstage is impressive. I have not heard an iem sound so "airy" as these. Bass is...

Hey, I'm buying a new pair of headphones, and I went to best buy. I previously though my 518's were amazing, however, I went to best buy and tried on a pair of PX 360's. Needless to say, I was surprised by their sound. I guess I've gotten too used to open back headphones. Anyways, what's...

Here my story. I really own a couple not so expensive headphones which includes  sony xb500 apple earbud  Astros a40 ( yes I used them for music even though i bought them for my gaming rig)   So here is where I need your help I'm going to buy 2 pairs of headphones one for gaming and...

Pretty much says it in the title. After hours of researching basically it says I need an amp and a DAC for the Beyer Dynamic DT 990s Pro 250. I'm going to be playing from my desktop and the FiiO comes bundled with the DT 990s for 200.   I know the classic setups of the Magni and Modi or the E09k...

I don't hear well (an understatement), I use a Fiio E12 (upgraded from E11) to drive my iPod with a line out dock.  I use almost all of the E12's power. To the point the IEM's get warm in my ears.  I have only found 2 IEM's that are able to stand up to the usage I put them through.  I have tried...

I looked at a few tutorials and such, and they are either extremely advanced, or so dumb they don't explain anything thats worth knowing.   Here are some questions I would like answered:   What is an amp? What does it do, specifically for headphones? How much is a decent amp for a...

I picked up a Fiios E-11 amp and a set of the Martin Logan Mikros 90s. Each cost 60.00 online. This is an awesome amp, and the MLs just came alive with it. I've burned them in for about 20 hours. Incredible depth and presence, and I have never used a headphone amp before. The eq settings are...

I'm currently looking to obtain one of the following FiiO E11/E12/E17 portable DAC/AMPs to hook up with my Sennheiser Momentum and iPod Classic 7G 160GB, I intend to use a FiiO L9 LOD to join them.   Will these improve the sound quality I get out of my iPod Classic through my Momentums?  ...

I just bought Sony F886, and am looking for a portable amp and LOD combo. The DAP has enough power to drive my Kef m200 and Sennheiser CX300 IEMs. But if I want to really blast with the Kefs, I'd need more power on the go.   My research has more or less settled on FiiO E11, perhaps with an...

So, I have an old E11 that I used to use when at school and such. No longer at school it hasnt been used for a while.    Want to use it so I can use headphones w/ TV but that would require me to charge it then un plug it all the time. Would rather just be able to plug it into a USB port on my...

If you have had an amp from them you know they have decent sound quality at a good price. But if you look harder at the solders in the devices(E11 E17) you will see they are cold solders. Meaning that over time under cold/heat/vibrations they will wear out and have to be touched up. If you are...

I have the ultrasone pro 900 and am looking for a portable amp that will make its bass unmatchable. I listen to mostly dubstep, if that helps. I am thinking, maybe the digizoid zo2? So if you know of a portable headphone amp that produces the most impact bass then let me know. :)

So, I have my desktop setup and now I want to get more into the portable world; I figured the HD 25 would be a great place to start. Along with the actual headphone I'll be getting the BTG audio midnight cable. I currently have a Galaxy SIII and I'm wondering if that will be sufficient in...

I found the new FiiO E11 Kilimanjaro2 on a local store's website. Whoever has impressions, pleas post them!

Hi All,     I wondered if there would be a noticeable difference in sound quality, coming from a laptop with decent sound card or iPhone, between the Fiio E6 vs E11.  I have the E6 and it seems to work very well with my ATH-M50s and Senn 518s but if it will make a noticeable difference I may...

Recently, i just jump into interesting deal in my local I have tried to look it up online but barely see any review or comparison. I also discovery it is not a brand but rather a series made by Jaben audio shop: (Jaben.net). The deal is pretty attractive with 40$ for this amp which...

It's mainly for use while watching tv and movies since my tv has no headphone jack. I'll probably also use it with my digital piano too. Do you know if this headphone amp would sound better than the headphone jack on a typical receiver. Or the headphone jack on a basic set of computer speakers?

where can i get a bass dac, or bass amp or whatever it's called. there is one on ebay for 40 euro, this is a type of thing i am talking about...

I'm looking for a portable amp to increase the sound quality of my ATH-M50xs along with my HTC One M8. I'd prefer the price be below $50, preferably lower, unless the increase in sound quality is that much better. I plan on bringing this on the road and to school, so I'd like it to fit in my...

I currently own the Audioengine D1 which i bought with my A5+ on my desktop. A couple of months ago I bought the DT 990 pros which i love.   However, now i am looking for a portable headphone amp, since the D1's have no such features.   First I was thinking Fiio E11 then (because I use a...

I just got the Fidelio X1's and they are very nice compared to my Audio Technica ATH-M50s but thats to be expected. I like these as they have very nice sound stage. I kind of want to return these and get the HD650's because I've seen EVERYONE review and like these. If I were to switch I normally...

I bought them because I heard it was fairly large however it's quite small and rarely something sounds like it's coming from the outside. They have a confined and constricted sound mostly like a closed pair would. Maybe only slighter larger. Slightly. Any tips? Yes they have been burnt in,I've...

Yo fellas.  I need some help here.  I am putting together a portable rig for my son who is about to be deployed in Aug.  I recently purchased a 160gb classic ipod.  I am need of some pics of a few different amps that are paired it. I want an amp that will be as close to the size of the ipod as...

Recommendations up to 80 dollars please :)
