First off, no, I'm not affiliated with Monster in any way. I'm just an average Joe 25-year old who likes quality audio. After purchasing my Monster Turbine Pro Copper in-ear monitors back in the Spring, I was amazed by their sound, thus ending my IEM search. I was lucky that I hit my "best" per...

I am considering the d2000 or an ultrasone.  Suggestions on which ultrasones would be great.  Would like them to sound good with electronic music.  Using my mac and ipod.  Thanks.  

Hey guys I recently purchased a set of m50s. While the bass was really good, I am starting to feel that it is less impactful and punchy as before. Coming from sennheiser cx300ii, i think that I have a good idea on the bass I am lookin for. Unfortunately, after about 4 days of not using them ...

Hello Head-Fi'ers,   I'm not really new to the forums, for some reason my old account is broken, and the password reset isn't working so just thought I'd make a new account. Thanks to all of you, I decided to purchase the ATH-AD700's last year. They were an excellent pair of cans, but the...

So I just replaced the crossover capacitors in my Stanton Dynaphase Sixty's. Before it was like "oh yeah bass is nice, and oh there's the tweeter" now it's like their one coherent driver in each ear, but with NO distortion no matter how much I turn it up. Switched amps to my Fiio E5, holy cow...

Which one is a better deal, the PL-30 with the amp at $45, or the M1's at $40? Note that I'm a bit of a basshead :P   And no, I can't get the M1's for $30, I'll be getting these in like, 3 months.

Hey guys. I'm wondering are they really required? I have a pair of Sennheiser hd555s and the asus essence st with an amp built in, and I can't really tell the difference without an amp because I only used my onboard soundcard before these. But I'm planning on getting the Brainwavz M2s, and...

I'm fairly knew to the IEM scene but I'm not really new to headphones. I own a Sennheiser HD 555 with a FiiO E5 but I got tired of it since I can't really use them outside. (Well i can definitely use 'em but it'll look weird and the sound leaks since they're open cans.   Can you guys...

Hi Head-fiers,   I would like your to ask for your suggestions. I'm researching for an amp that will best drive my newly bought HD 238. I fully broke them in and I can say that they are still lacking bass impact and soundstage. But, on the other hand, I find the mids crispier and the highs...

So I have decided to buy the Shure SRH440 after extensive research (yes I am aware of the pros and cons.. after researching in this forums and just by googling).     But I am curious.. with which headphones (without amps) would you compare the sound performance with the Shure SRH440 w/...

I'm thinking of getting the beyerdynamics DT 770... Which should i get? 32 or 80 OHMS...   I guess $200 is my max budget, and i was thinking of starting with fiio E5 since they are cheap, and move on to better amp when i get more money... is it enough to amp the headphones?   What other...

Hi guys, I have a Zune 30gb which I connect to a sennheiser hd 555. I f I attach it to a portable amp, will it make a significant difference in sound quality and volume? say a Fiio e5 or a fiio e7? both are small amps, so i was wondering if the differece would be like night and day....

I ordered my Audio Technica ATH-A700 headphones through Amazon.com. But I was also wondering if I should get an AMP with these headphones? Would I notice better sound quality with an amp? Thanks! I planned to get these amps: FiiO E5 Headphone Amplifier

I want an amp that can be used with the XB700s (and the Beats tours for the move, but thats not really a big deal). Price limit would be <$100 (around, could shift a little). Will be using it on my laptop, but preferably portable, and weight/size is not too big of a matter. Would prefer no knobs...

Hey all   I have $200 and im looking at getting a new higher end pair of headphones. Ive read a bunch of other posts, but none seemed to match what I am looking for in a headphone.   I listen to alot of trance, house, pop, and listen to musicals (wicked, rent, etc). I currently own...

So I've bought an E5 mainly because I felt my Nexus One's output is a bit lacking so here's to hoping the E5 is the solution.   The reason why I've chosen the E5 instead of some CMOY amp is because I already have an E7 and the E5 is much more portable than a CMOY. I will be hopefully taking...

Hello guys. I'm wondering whatever I should spend some money on a PA2V2 amp? Will I benefit from it, or should I save my money and purchase some iBasso amp later? Has any user actually experienced both amps by any chance?   I'm using ATH AD700's for now, but I'm planing to acquire a pair od...

I bought a FIIO E5 just for laughs because I have never heard of a portable amplifier. But they work wonders.   Goal is $200 roughly and under.   All I need is something that can EQ lows, mids and highs. ANything will be better than this $25 amp that just has a volume and bass boost...

Hey Folks,   since some month i've got very interested in some really good headphones and ended up buying some Beyerdynamic DT 770 32 Ohm Premium. I chose the 32 Ohm Version, because i want to use them as portables, too. After a lot reading this forum, I realized very fast that I'll need a...

Was in Radio Shack yesterday, and asked about boosting volume on an MP3 player, and the guy suggested a "Boostaroo". I searched the forums (quickly), and didn't see any information. Is this a decent option, or is it a piece of junk? I was going to get the FiiO E5, but just want to make the right...

Hi. I've had my Shure SE210 for about 10 months now and I realized that I wanted more bass out of it. So I did some googling and found out that this magical headphone amplifier might help boost bass. So, I was thinking of either getting Fiio E5 to boost bass (if it actually works) or selling my...

hi all,   a bit of advice please.  i have just bought a new phone that i intended to use as my main mp3 player. unfortunately it is very quiet, even on full volume.  can anyone suggest some cheap in ear headphones that are loud/punchy? do i need to be looking at headphones with a low...

Hello everyone, wanted to know if anyone has or is running a pair of Denon AH-D2000'S PAIRED WITH A FIIO E5?  I already have a FIIO5 and wanted to know if it is enough power to push the Denon cleanly... Thanks for any quick replies!  Have a great day!

I'm looking for some nice portable cans. I'm sick of listening to music just at home and having no real portable cans at my disposal. I was looking at some SR80s or even maybe MS-1s for portable listening, but I don't have a small enough amp. Maybe the Fiio E5? Not powerful enough? I don't know...
