Given the resurgence in interest in orthodynamic (planar magnetic / isodynamic) cans in recent years, the availability of cheap, powerful portable amps (e.g. Fiio E12), and the advances in material technology allowing more efficient planar diaphragms and magnets to be used, why has no...

I'm looking for some guidance in choosing new headphones for my ipod Classic paired with the Fiio E12, I think I want to go with on ear headphones, but some smaller full size options can't hurt. (I want to use them at home and out and about now and again, so I don't want them to big and bulky if...

I have an E12 and Rock-it Sounds R50 IEM. I formerly used this equipments with iPod. However, ipod didn't really satisfied me at all. My fav genre is metal. But I do listen Rock, hardrock, blues and jazz aswell. Which DAP would you suggest me in this case? Dx50 or x3? The problems I encountered...

First off I'd like to say that I'm new to this whole high fidelity audio thing, and I just bought these cans (I know that I'm sort of a basshead already). My phone (HTC M8) and Laptop (Asus N55JV) seem to produce good audio as they are when I use my headphones, but I just wanted to know if it...

Every time I look for some info in this forum the result is always the same: I lose a lot of hours (and a lot of money!) Currently I use a Nexus 5 as source along with the Sony MDR-1R headphones and I mainly listen EDM. At the beginning I was looking for an amp and after reading some...

Anyone got the trick to opening up the fiio E12? I am trying to replace the battery. I've removed the two screws and back cover and assume the board slides out through the front but the bass boost switch is preventing this because it protrudes through the housing. Any trick to this or does the...

I'm enjoying my new amp. It definitely has more dynamics then my Fiio E12. One issue is that it's quieter. I jave to have the knob turned all the way up to enjoy them. Could it be faulty?

Hi i am interested in any ideas (from personal experience) as to the iem with the most synergy to the fiio x5/e12 - i like lush but detailed sound with good rhythmic drive and much of the material i listen to is older and not exactly recorded to audiophile standards ranging form 1920's...

I am the current owner of the Pro700mk2s and a Fiio E12 AMP. I love my Pro700mk2s as they sound very good, they fit VERY snugly. (usually people complain about the clamp force but I like it, VERY snug.) They are still closed back headphones, though.   I am now searching for Open...

I recently bought Fiio x5 and Fiio E12.. I need a pair of iems to go with them. After reading tons of reviews I found these: -ETYMOTIC ER4PT or ER4S (Dunno the difference smt with frequency I suppose) (290 USD) -Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 pro or classic (300 USD) -DUNU DN-1000 (200 USD) -UE...

Hi. Was just wondering if it would be worth it to drive my headphones   I have a Superlux 668B and recently I've acquired a Sennheiser 518. When I got the 518's I wasn't blown away with the sound I was a tad disappointed in fact. I think it's probably because I got used to the coloration of...

Can i use fiio E7 as dac and E12 as amplifier ? does this combination work? (Laptop > E7 (usb) > E12 > Headphone)

Hey guys, so I just got a new car (2007 Jetta Wolfsburg Edition) and was looking for a good mount for my iPod. Only problem is it is a pretty big bundle (iPod classic + YoTank [very heavy] + FiiO E12 amp)   I have a couple in mind but don't really know if they will hold something so heavy.  ...

Hi, i own Sennheiser HD598 headphones and to tell you, i absolutely love the sound these things produce unamplified. Its to my understanding that these are a low ohmage (if that's a word) set of cans. I believe its 50. At the moment i only listen to them through my Galaxy Note 3 with an EQ. Last...

Hello I've got a Beyerdynamic dt 880 250 ohm. I got kind of cheap, and am currently running it with a Fiio e11. Works decently, I can get ample power when used through my laptop... Was wondering if it's worth the upgrade to E12 and what the benefits of that would be.

Is there any besides the Digizoid ZO2? It's out of stock right now maybe because of the new release.    Anyway, I just wanna ask if there are any alternatives (better) for bassheads like me. 

BELOW IS PRODUCT INFO, RANDOM THOUGHTS, DETAILS AND IMPRESSIONS... FULL SOUND REVIEW TO COME   I noticed there isn't a lot of info about the AK10 out there, so I thought I'd order one and remedy that. It arrived today, so these are just my initial ramblings...   Basic technical info (this is...

I currently have the Fiio E17, I'm wondering what's better than that. I use the E17 on +4 Treble and +6 Bass with the V-MODA M100s / LP2s.

Hi All,   Preparing to lay down some cash on the Centrance Hifi-M8, but just wondering if anyone can give me an insight as to how much better the M8 will sound to my two box solution for connecting to my cellphones (obvious advantage of the M8 is MFI connectivity with iPhone 5S)...  ...

Hey all I have a pair of Audio Technica ATH A900X's and I was wanting to know, what is the best amp under 300$ to pair with these cans that you know of?   Any suggestions are welcome, I have never really gotten into the Amp side of things yet, and I was also wondering does it really make that...

Just wanted to hear what headphones, sources, and music people use for studying or working quietly.   Right now I use a rockbox'd Ipod classic going into a fiio e12 mont blanc and into my ATH M50S when I'm in the library. However, I find the ATH M50S clamps a little too tightly, so I'm moving...

I personally find the frequencies outputed from my devices dont produce clear, rich enough bass and am interested in buying a portable amp. I'm currently using my V-moda crossfade LP2 headphones, using my iPhone and nexus 7 tablet as a music player and usually listen to EMD, prog. House and rap...
