I am looking to upgrade to something better than a first-generation iPod touch for playing music when out and about. Specifically, I've been hearing about the Hifiman players for a while and they look like a great alternative for audiophiles. I am thinking the HM-601 looks like a great buy for...

Hi,   Soon my Hifiman 601 will arrive. I am searching for a IEM that sound good together with it. I would be happy for advice from you. I am also interested in a big headphone for it. I have read in some threads here and found some nice advice in the matter, But maby there is some more to...

looking at the HM-801 for my JH16s. It seems that the GAME replacement amp is designed by high spec IEMs. Has anyone tried it?

I never really done this test. Unfortunately, I realized I fell prey of placebo. I was able to tell that aftermarket " higher quality " cables were rip offs because after letting my TWag IEM cable burn in for the stated 300 hours I later returned it because I could hear no significant increase...

Hello,   I have been wanting to move from iems to full size cans for sometime and recently the Audeze LCD-2 has intrigued me with the rave reviews on Head-Fi. I am very new to the music equipment area (having only owned a couple of sony earbuds and a shure se535) and have previously just...

It doesn't seem that a non-sponsored thread exists yet to discuss the Solo.  I plan to write a review comparing it to the HiFiMAN HM-801 soon, but in the meantime I'd love to hear some honest opinions and see what kind of questions people have.   Here are some photos I took today:    ...

I've read countless threads that was mainly about one of the Dr. Dre Beats products that was later reduced to a hate fest. For credibility, I've listen to a lot of high end headphones and earphones. Just to name a few, the LCD-2, Sennheiser HD800, Beyerdynamic T1, JH13 Pro and Westone ES5's. I...

   

  So I'm at a crossroads. My current DAP is the Sanza Fuze+ running to my JH13s. Do I go for a top-tier DAP like the Hifiman or should I get a portable amp for the Sanza? Maybe TWag cable? Basically I have some money burning a hole for audio and I'm not sure what will get me the most bang for...

Hi everyone, in a short while I will be receiving my westone es5 custom iems and i am thinking of upgrading my source. I know i want an all-in one solution. I was first thinking of getting the hm601 but then started thinking of the hm801 with game amp module. But i did read a while back that...

i thought it will be nice to have a portable dedicated music player like how iPod originally was. No videos, apps, or games, or even wifi, but top sq with LOD, optical and USB DAC out and all digital format supported including 24bit/96hz format. I'd like believe there is a market for it me...

hi guys,   i currently have Shure E4c. they work well, but i would like to upgrade.   let's say that due to budget constraints, you have the following options:   1) buy Westone 3 in February and JH-16 Pro with JH-3 amp ($1748) for home use in September 2) buy JH-16 pro without JH-3...

Got some new HD 600s and, when connected to the HM 801, they could use some help.  The HM really does not seem up to the task of powering the Senns.  So, I've been considering the purchase of a headphone amp but, I'm also tempted to buy a small inegrated amp from NAD C 316BEE instead.  It seems...

So, i first wanted to buy an external amp, but I decided, that it will be better to have a new mp4, and I really want hiiiigh end :) (now i have Cowon S9) I have searched through this forum, and i found two candidates: Hifiman HM-801 and Colorfly C4 I looked for the pros and contras, a what...

HM-801 Owner’s Guide   After owning the HM-801 for about 4 months, I’ve come to know this little piece of machinery pretty well.  It’s gone with me on several cross-country trips, it’s been stuffed into my coat pocket during snow storms, and it generates multiple “Woah, is that a Walkman?!”...

Hello all, I'm going to Jaben store, Singapore, in a few days to buy a hifiman player : don't know again if it will be HM-601 or HM-801. Given your experiences, would it be a good idea (in term of SQ improvement) to add a good portable amp to the players? Are the default HIFIMAN amps already...
