Hello all, I acquired a PreSonus Audiobox USB last Christmas, and although I have very little experience with amps (or headphones, for that matter), am thinking it might be a keeper. At the $130 price point (sometimes as low as  $40 on Guitar Center Used), it has a Cirrus CS4270-CZZ DAC...

Hello guys ! As you can see I'm new here ...   I have Sennheiser HD 215 headphones.   http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/professional_headphones-headsets_dj-headphones_500156?Open&row=2   When I first got them, I've immediately noticed that they "don't have bass"...

not sure if this follows forum rules. This is my first post. Thining about buying a FiiO e5 to run a pair of AKG k240s through a zune 120. Firstly, do i need the amplifier, and will an e5 be sufficient? Secondly, does the e5 come with an adaptor cable orm something for zune? Thanksyou

I'm looking to make a rig for 2 purposes   1.  for use with my 300 watt stereo system's output after being input through my mbpro.  (this stereo system is 13yrs old; nothing special)   2. for use with my iphone 4s/ipods   I have Urbanears Zinken headphones that are new.   I am looking to...

I'm a noob and this is my first phones.   I will be getting the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro-80ohm.   After reading about amps and ohm I found out that my mixamp (Astro Mixamp Pro)  will do 70mW 32ohm per channel. is that good enough? and if its not, would someone kindly recommend a good amp...

   Just ordered a Philips Shp9000 headphone (almost the same as Philips Hp1000) for 60$.      I am looking at getting a Fiio e5 amp for 20$.   Will it run the headphones fine?.,,,if not can you suggest any amps with the 30$ price mark     (I will generally be running the...

Hi Guys and any gals who frequent these superb forums,a very quick question,do either the Audio Technica ATH M50 or the Sennheiser HD380/280 Pro series headphones require amplification with an Ipod Touch?I have had a vast disappointment with some Shure and KRK headphones where the sound is flat...

I used to think the denon's did not need an amp until I got the Fiio 5. I know its not the best amp or even close but with it I notice a difference with the denons. They sound smoother and more satifying.    This is the part I don't get, denon's freq are 5~45k.. yet on this forum people seem...

Hi i currently use a 4th gen Ipod Nano & Vsonic GR06 IEM as a music player to travel to work, gym, and just casual listening of music   Im just wondering if adding a portable amp will increase the sound quality (and bass)?   I'v been looking at getting something such as the Fiio E6 & LOD...

...returning home after a long and hard working day you quickly rush to the shrine and ...there it is... your favourite toy...errrr... or second favourite, or whatever...   Anyway... your set-up is more than just about listening music? It is passion for design, fine mechanics, precision...

Hi guys   I've recently purchased a pair of HD 25-1-ii's and they sound great, however I'm trying to determine if they are faulty...   I'm getting static/ crackling in quite a few tracks (especially in 'loud' or 'busy' songs).   I also get the static crackling in lower volumes, so...

Hey , I have been looking at headphones on a budget of about £150 (Just over 200 dollars).I was wondering what the best sounding headphones were for that price. I have been particularly interested by the Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO after reading Internet reviews.I have heard they are some of the...

Which one is beter amp wise? Which has best SQ?

The Headphones I use: HFI-580 (DJ-1) The Amps I use: Turtle Beach DSS Fiio E5 Used on: Xbox 360 videogames. Mostly. Computer Phone sometimes My Question: When I use 2 amps at the same time, I get more bass... My Challenge: The Fiio E5 sucks because it clips. My Question continued: Should I...

How is it? I'm thinking about picking some up for a present, can anyone elaborate?   It's probably going to be used for techno and alternative, if it matters.

Hi guys,   I have the ATH-M50 and I love them a lot. They sound great, but do I need a portable amp for them? If I do get one, would the Fiio E5/E6 amp be a good choice?   Thanks,   LazBro123

Hi I was wondering if anyone has amped their se215's.  I am considering fio e11 or e5, and was wondering if amping them makes a difference.  I listen to dubstep so I am mostly looking for a difference on the bass side of things. Thank you!

  Hi all, sorry if this post is a repeat, or retreading old ground, but I did some searches and didn't find anything particularly similar (particularly in my price range). Anyway, here goes. I have trying to find a good solid pair of IEMs for general commuting/walking around use. I suppose...

I got the Ultrasone Dj1 headphones (HFI-580) and un-amped they have okay bass, but they truly have so much impact when amped. I am a basshead when it comes to watching movies and playing games. Therefor I bought a Fiio E5, which was lousy... it had buzz lowered treble, but none the less...

So I recently ordered the Ultrasone pro 550, and thought I was pretty happy with them...until I turned my volume up past about halfway and heard that the left side rattles violently...   When any bassy part comes up, the right side handles it pretty well, but the left side rattles and...

I currently have a pair of NE6's and Sunrise IEs, and an iPod Touch 3rd gen.   Would I benifit from an amp($100 or less), or can an iPod touch drive them just fine?

I'm thinking of creating a very lightweight and portable set up   does anyone know of a amp that is as small as the new ipod nano?

Hey as my username suggest i am teh noob Lol... Anyway i need help on deciding on the fiio e5 or e7 for powering hd598! And is there any reliable and reasonable priced online stores that sells these amps (Worldwide).

I was under the impression that impedence is what determines how hard it is to drive headphones. My friend just bought sennheiser HD595, I'm going for denon d2000, and in the future I might go for either D7000 or Audeze LCD2. the 595 have a 50 ohm impedance, the d2000 have like 30 i believe. The...

I got my sennheiser 598 today and i plugged it in to my htc hd7 and there kinda too quiet. Will an e5 amp make them louder. Im a noob at this high end audiophile stuff but i want to enjoy my music to the fullest. These are my first expensive pair of headphones. I usually dont spend more than 30...
