well...... not sure it totally agree on the very balanced, i perhaps might say comparatively balanced but yeah they do make a good noise.

My Nexus 5 doesn't have the greatest DAC/amp built in which is a shame, just gotta wait for Android L to come out so I can use my E07K as the DAC/amp because they sound great on the E07K.
Or you can install Cyangenmod 11 as i heard it has support for USB OTG and USB dac from Fiio's e18 support page. but IDK if the E07k will tho.
Hi. I jumped in on a different thread about these but no one responded, so I'll jump in here. I've had them for a couple weeks. I did minimal burn-in as opposed to usual fanatical approach, just to see how that would work out. Overall happy with the sound but does seem to lack the clarity I was hoping for at the higher ends. On the other hand, they seem to be tightening up with use so I'm optimistic on that front.
One thing that is really true, as others have stated here, is that they are not at all forgiving on lower bit-rate recordings - but they make good bit rate, high quality recordings sound stellar. Not sure what to do about that....
I'm not yet completely sold on them as I was hoping they were the right balance of smooth presentation without sacrificing clarity and detail and without muddy bass. I see their potential to deliver that but it may take a few days or so to get there. I have a bit of time before I need to return them if I go that route.
Interested in the impressions of others. Also interested in recommendations regarding buds. As usual, the enclosed buds didn't quite work for me. The miracle Philips buds I use (like 12 bucks!) are doing their magic and definitely helping, but I'm always open to suggestions. I've seen some support for Sony Hybrids with these?
Thanks, look forward to any comments.

I do believe in burning in but it's not a good sign if they need 300 hours. Btw I am leaning towards giving the shure 215 Se a try.
