I got a new pair of the Koss DJ 100 almost a week before Christmas, and have been moderately using them. The problem is that the bass is almost non-existent and sometimes music sounds flat.   In total, I'd estimate that I've used the headphones about 30 hours. Is that enough for the...

Well, since discovering Head-Fi, I've been finding myself more and more curious about the world of audiophiles and good audio equipment. The first 'audiophile' purchase I made was on these iGrados, which I found shared the same drivers as the Grado SR60s, and have been well received by lots of...

  Long time reader, first time poster   I’m a bit new to hi-fidelity audio—bear with my statements if they appear ignorant.  For the past 2 years or so, I have been using a Cowon S9 PMP with Sennheiser IE7 IEMs and the Fiio E5 amp.  I know my portable rig is only as strong as the...

The only store that has them is a guitar center that's 40 minutes from my house. Drove there to listen to them but didn't plan on buying them cause they're $160 there while they're $110 on amazon. Was really dissapointed when I could hardly hear the music from my phone with the volume at max. I...

On my quest to find some good bass heavy headphones I bought the Shure SRH750DJs, and while they do fit most of my needs a few things are lacking. Comfort wise, I feel like they have a vice grip on my head which is really bothersome. I listen to a lot of metal, and I really like the way the...

This is a quick review of the TDK EB900 by a basshead, don't expect very detailed writing about the sound quality.   I've been buying cheap, sub-$100 earphones since I had my first real mp3 player 5 years ago, trying to get the ones with most bass. Started with many cheap earphones, then I...

Excited to see what it will be like because these will be my first high end headphones. I don't have the money to buy a nice amp however so I'm planning on buying a Fiio E5. Is this going to help noticably? Also I would like to hear thoughts on my choice to buy this pair. I listen to mostly hip...

Hi, Im new to the hobby, browsed some threads here for headphones that would suit my listening style on my iphone, mostly r&b-hiphop-rap metal-pop-trance and the likes, alright im really a noob :) my first headphones is a skullcandy gi, too bad i didnt knew about headfi yet the time i bought...

hey guys, my mom travels a lot and recently expressed a desire to get some better "ear buds" for herself.  so i figure what a great Christmas present!  but I'm very uneducated when it comes to these products, which is why I'm here O.o.  so my budget is max of 100, but would like to keep it...

So Here I am.   $50-$150 to spend   I want some headphones, over head with portable amp   I was looking around and found Grado S60i or Grado SR80i with FiiO E5 amp for $90-$120 I'm wondering if this set would be good for what I want.   I like the look of the Grado and the...

Recently I acquired both the Sennheiser PC350 and the FiiO E5 headphone Amp, and while conducting Windows 7 sound test (testing 7.1 virtual surround setup with sound card) I noticed distortion on the tones that Windows normally plays. Now, connecting the headphones directly to the sound card...

I'm getting back into the head-fi business after a 2 year hiatus. I've so far gotten a Nuforce uDAC-2 for use out of my laptop, outputting to Klipsch 2.1 Promedia speakers. I also decided to buy the Fiio E5 on eBay just because it was so cheap. My friend has the same setup and his speakers...

looking for headphones with great mids, prefer then to be some what portable and closed back mostly listen to alternative metal/rock, progressive metal as well and some punk i'd like them to be easy to drive as well. if not by an ipod classic at least by a fiio E5

After years of crappy headphones I think it is time I got something better, they will be ran off my computers sound card (reaktek HD audio) and mostly used for rock, metal and gaming. I know about the grados but people say they are extremely uncomfortable and after using my logitech headphones...

I just got a pair of ATH-M30s and i love them so far. I was browsing the forums and saw people recommending the FiiO E5 as a decent, inexpensive amp.   Ive been searching Amazon and reading reviews and now I want to get one. I suppose I don't have a real "need" for an amp, but I kinda want...

I wanted to buy this amp for my ATH-M50 headphones but I haven't seen any reviews for this product. Anybody have this amp or know if it is worth buying?

I recently bought a Nokia 5230 and I'm lovin it, the only problem is the output...just as widely known around the world, 5230,5530 and 5800 tend to hav lower volume then wanted....so yeh my 5230 has lower volume than desired....its not really unbearable and I think the sound quality is kinda...

Hey guys,    I've been lurking these forums for the past few days, and I just bought the ATH M-50's (which are great so far. still burning in though) and I decided to get a small portable amp. I have a budget of around 60 dollars, my wallets feeling kinda empty after buying the headphones...

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the monster turbine would benefit at all from a portable amp. Would it clean anything up a little? I've been looking at the fiio e5, something very cheap and portable.

Hi all,   I've been reading the forums for a few weeks as I've traveled on my journey to find a new set of headphones. Started posting tonight. Thanks for all the info, very useful, and thank you for taking the time to help us newbies, i realize it must get a little repetitive. now..  ...

I am going to be using my xb700s exclusively with my ipod so the amp needs to be VERY portable and I am not wanting to spend any more than $50

Hey, I have an idea of what I'm going to use for a very first (real) setup. I've used the crappy skullcandy headphones TOO LONG! So my idea is to run a pair of ATH-M50s through a FiiO E5 amplifier to an iPod Touch. Any recommendations on this setup? Anything you would change for the value? I'll...

So I was one of the lucky ones to be able to purchase the UE Triple Fi Today. I will be using them with my iRiver H-140  portable Mp3 player (have had it for 7 years now). People say that they sound great straight through an Mp3 player.   Any how, any suggestions and recommendations for an...
