I know some IEMs come with airplane adapters and the like that claim to reduce white noise - Are there any small and cheap amps that do this as well? I was going to get the fiio e3 with a pair of used RE2's off this site, unless theres a better amp for the job.

The e3 and RE2s go very well together, get them and youll be plenty happy.

Travagans Colors

59.00 US S
Super small
all necessary attachments uncluding USB and two 3.5 - 3.5 short male-male adapters and as silly as it sounds, The leather/Canvas wrap shows great imagination on the part of Travagans

NO Distortion

Downside ? no on/off or volume control

I also tried the Boosteroo Revolution 30 USD
More Amp but More distortion as well.

I ordered the Fio E-3 but DealExtreme took too long to ship so I cancelled order.
I like the Travagans any way

 

[kawasakiguy37]

My main concern is NO distortion, does the fiio e3 have much? I dont care if it doesnt have a volume control or anything like that.

 

[boomy3555]

The lack of On/Off is the most concerning to most threaders.The e-3 also has a gain switch which boosteroo and Travagans do not.I cannot speak to E-3's distortion but thier pretty inexpensive right now so maybe G0 For IT and let us know what you find out.

I bought four E3s from Dealextreme (gave one away), and shipping time isn't bad at all. For $8.50, how can you go wrong? Oh, sound-wise, the E3 do not distort any of my phones. A worthwhile expenditure in my view. Oh, and I have the RE2s (my daughter secured them from me) and they match up well with the E3.

re2 i hear are good

 

[majurglery]

hmm, if you were looking to upgrade IEMs at all in the future, i would get a cmoy, but if you plan to just stay with RE2, then Fiio will be fine

Really? Where's the gain switch?

AFAIK, E3 only has an I/O jack and battery compartment. nothin more to fiddle with.

 

[ZoNtO]

Just get an e3 and then get an e5 later when it comes out and call it good.

After having my RE2's for over a month... I finally decided to try out this whole "amping" thing. I ended up building a custom CMOY and man these earphones sound a lot better. More bass, definition, and sound stage.

Soory,
I was thinking of something else. I thought i saw one in the pics
