I am looking for some portable (foldable) over ear headphones for under £100 ($100). They have to be closed as i will be using them at school and do not want too much sound leakage.   My main music tastes are Rock, Pop and Drum&Bass.   At school they will be driven by my iPod...

Hello, first of all: yes, i have used the search function but I could not find a thread that compares these two models, so here I go: I have just come home from demoing Grado's SR60 & SR80s and enjoyed listening to the SR80 far more than the 60s which may be a result of the ear cups but i...

So I picked up one of these to try, but on the first time charging, the red light keeps flashing and won't stop. I know the red light is supposed to be completely off when it's done charging, so I'm wondering if I should return it or not, or if others have had the same problem. Thanks...  

I currently have a Clip+ paired wif E5 and CX300 . I listen to RnB and also some jazz ( like only 4 tracks of it ) . The problem now would be i need to source for another bassy IEM but under the budget of $100 as the right side of my current CX300 is spoilt . Has been with me for ard 2 yrs + ...

Hi all, This is my first post so excuse my newbness. I'm looking to buy my first portable headphone amp, and I'm a little bewildered by the conflicting choices. These are the cans I own: - Alessandro ms-1 - Soundmagic pl-30 - Sennheiser px-100 - Sennheiser px-200 - Etymotic er-6...

Hi, Recently I received the AKG K518 headphones. I have a  COWON D2 mp4 which the headphones should be connected to, but I feel the sound is weaker than usual and sounds a bit "flat", but on the other hand when I try the headphones with my father's  headphones amplifier, tha Pro ject Head...

I am set on getting the AD700's. I know people say they don't have to be amped, but I also hear that they lack bass and some amps can help that. I will be running them straight from my headphone jack on my Ipod or my computer, but if you guys think it is worth the extra money for the quality, I...

I own all 3, because of the ebay user: Nocando01 Who gave me the E1/3 and the Boostaroo for free :)! Thank you :D!   Its been a long time since iv'e been on Head-fi, and i always intended to make this comparison for you guys. Just forgot to do so, and it has been, long overdue.  ...

Hey its me again,   This time I opened that thread for a close friend of mine. I recommended IEMs in the title what do you think about them? Or another advice in max budget of $60 with shipping international. Thank you.

I've been researching an amp to drive D2000s and looks like narrowed it down to these two. Couldn't find any posts that compare the two though, so has anyone had experience with both? Or should I still look at something else entirely?

I had a Fiio 5 but ended up giving it to my nephew. I found that it did add a bit of improvement to the Atrio M5s but not too much out of my ipod. I was wondering if any lower end (100$ max) amps could add to the SQ of these phones out of an ipod? Or is it not even worth it? These phones are...

hi i read the posts on the e7 and have questions   i have the fiio e5 amp and it works well on my sony mdr v-6. i am 43 years old but rather a newbie to audio etc.   is the e7 with usb input to be used only with a pc? do portable mp3 players have a usb out for audio? if so, what...

As the title depicts since i am using these as iphone headphones and  hifi headphones when i set up the amp up. I was considering which one of these i should get since atm i have NO earphones or headphones.  The list below are the items: HD 595 TOT: 107 GBP or FiiO E5 mini amp ipod-mini...

Hi guys I play on xbox360 and I bought a few days ago this set:   - Mixamp astro - Audiotechnica AD700 - Fiio E5   I'm very happy with this set if I play online games, but I don't feel myself enough "inside the game" if I play single player games (like fallout, dead rising, alan...

I really want the DT990. REALLY bad now... But, I am also REALLY struggling about the decision to go with the 250ohm instead of the 600ohm. At this point, I just don't know if I can get away with spending $250 on an amp. I have a wife and a little girl - there exist other priorities than a $250...

Hi All.  New to this site although google always sends me here when I do searches.  Lots of good information....for us audio fiends.   Anyways I listen to dubstep (some jungle), hiphop, and raggae.  Bass heavy..low frequency music.  I just purchased the Shure 750DJ for $100 (hasn't arrive...

I use a Cowon S9 + Soundmagic PL50 and for the most part love the sound combination. Unfortunately i do find that this combination doesnt always have enough bass or warmth for certain types of music. Would adding an amp add a bit of warmth back into the mix? The E5 or E7 sounds as if it...

A budget DIY amp?   Reason why I am asking is I don't have that strong of an oAMP on my soundcard or on my ipod, and I've heard any amp is better then no amp. I'm not above doing a DIY but I'd like to keep the price down, this will only be driving entry level 201's and RX700's currently and...

Hi all, I'm having a fairly annoying issue with my FiiO E5 - it hisses and almost squeals loudly while it's plugged into my USB port (charging) at the same time as I'm using it. As soon as I unplug it from the USB port and use it straight from its battery, it's practically silent between...
