I'm looking for a portable amp to drive my 1964Qs preferably for under $100 to use with an iphone and ipod touch. I'm obviously new to this world but I've escalated up from a couple of universal iems (Shure SE215s to UE 700s) and now diving head-first into customs with ALAC conversion, an amp...

New to Hi-fi - been lurking for about a week or two - although lurking suggests I was much more laid back in my reading. Anyway...   Will be getting some ATH M50s soon, but the portable I plan to use it with, my 4th gen iPod Nano, is a little ****ed up. The audio jack doesn't work. So I'll...

Hey all,   First post here.  I've read a ton on the forums, and Joker's excellent 197 IEM review, and seem to find a ton of completely opposite opinions.  I'm hoping that "q-Jays has no bass" is in comparison to an IEM designed for pure lows, and the q-Jays would blow away my current buds...

So I am having a lot of trouble deciding on which pair of over-ear headphones I should buy. I recently purchased a pair of ATHAD700s, but after using them a little while, I couldn't take the excessive leaking and lack of isolation, since I'm using them in college (I know, open-air, bad choice)...

hello im thinking to but the beyerdynamic dt770  pro 80 and i want to know if the Fiio e5 can drive them properly. I'm also thinking of buying the ATH-M50 or the HD-280 but these Cans are 64 Ohm so i guess it wouldn't be a problem for the Fiio E5.   Thank you

Hi,    Quick question...   Would the sound from the Sennheiser HD25-1 II be improved if used with the FiiO E7 portable amp? 

Hello, i currently own the ibasso d2 viper and thought my Denon D7000 sounded amazing through them compared to Fiio E5 and no-amp (my only experiences).  However, my D2's need to be fixed so I'm starting to look in to a new amp.  It doesnt' matter if its portable or fullsize, but I'd just like...

a very beginner question please dont get mad and just help me with this im so confused  , look at the picture please  it wont take u a minute to figure it out     i have that system , hd650 , laptop . little dot amp   , fiio e7 as a dac  , now i dont know how to connect it , or what the...

Hi everyone, I'm currently a college student in the UK living in dorms at the moment. I have a desktop PC and I currently am using a pair of knock-off Beats Studio Headphones I bought in Hong Kong (cost me 80 USD) as my audio solution. They sound really really good for the price even though they...

is the astro mixamp really an amp or just for dolby headphone?  astro says nothing in the description saying it enhances audio. they just talk about dolby headphone and the chat and audio mix capability.  

I was wondering should i get an amp for my Sony's , i really love the bass, i was thinking of getting the FiiO E5, Should my Samsung impression be enough to power them there only 24 ​ohms, but they have alot more bass when plugged in my computer then in my phone

Thoughts? Good combo?

The spring and screw came out on mine when i unclipped it anyone got a pic of how the spring goes in ?

I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject of either upgrading or getting a better amp. A few years back I picked up a E5 to power my XB700's. Neither my Zen W or my laptop could properly support the headphone which is when I was guided to try the E5 to see if it offered any difference...

I use my HD25-1s for pretty much all music. On my home system, my headphones sound a lot better with my amp my father bought me, the bass is deeper and rich, the soundstage is a lot better etc. (I have no clue what brand it is.) My budget is 120 dollars, I was thinking the ZO, the pa2v2, or the...

I am totally green for Hifi listening, just got a Q701 and my main listening source is macbook pro, also have a ipod classic (160G), but mainly I use IE6 for my ipod, which i think it is fine even without dac/amp. Hence I want to ask you guys which amp/dac (portable first, desktop is fine) you...

I am a beginner with limited equipment and unlimited music. I have put down the things I have:   Headphones/IEM:   MDR-ED12LP/R  Brainwavz M2 JVC HAS700 XB300 SR-60i HD518   Source:   Laptop Ipod Nano/Classic(Cant be rock-boxed) E-72- Primarily for FLAC   Speakers...

I mean would it give more bass then it has, i hear that if you have good earphones its pointless to buy a amp. This is a vid on youtube on the effects...  

Will Sony Hybrid tips fit Shure SE215s?   If not, any recommendations for smaller sized tips? The included foam ones have incredible isolation, but they hurt my ears after about an hour of listening; I want something small and comfortable that isolates well.   Also I am new to the...

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a portable headphone. Currently I'm using the Sony retractable clip-ons for my iphone. They aren't keeping the outside noises out and the left one is crumpling up my ear a little bit. I do have a Beyerdynamic DT770, Sony MDR-v6, and two headphone amps, a fournier...

  The Denon AH-C710's provide a deep powerful bass, but yet also give great highs and mids - something its younger brother the 751's lacked. Here are my ratings, and then my impressions of the 710’s:   Comfort: 9/10 You can hardly feel them whilst you have them on: Only downside is the...

  I have been on the lookout or a set of Bluetooth headphones for a long time. The price has always been too high for something I can't demo here in Australia.   The Sennheiser MM and PCX range looked good but are pretty expensive for something that get mixed reviews on the sound quality...

I'm quite a noob to all this source stuff, I know that computers have sound cards and the better the sound card = the better sound quality. So does my 2009 model core 2 duo 27" iMac have a decent sound card and enough power for my M50's/Beats Pro's (and soon to possibly be HD650's). Would there...

I am planning to buy a new IEM for fuse+ and my budget is upto $100. I am satisfied with the stock earbud's sound signature and suggest me the IEM with this same sound signature with better and clean sound. Mostly I will be listening to Rock/Metal music genre. Bass should be punchy/tight...

i will start off by saying that for the 150$ price these cant be beat. the ath m50s may beat it but thats the only headphone that comes close. the bass is very realistsic and not boomy. it has a very good frequency response. and it can be driven without an amp. people i think we have a winner...
