a fiio e6 is a good investment for anyone in this hobby.

Through my Samsung galaxy my b3 is meh, after I run in my e6 it's phenomenal.

I'm not too much a numbers/ohms/impedance guy (yet), just someone who likes and spends way too much money on headphones. I'm telling you, the e6 should give you the extra boost needed take them sound good until you invest in a bigger and better amp.

I completely agree with Hisoundfi, the E6 is an invaluable little amp for mobile listening. Can drive those hard to drive IEMs for $25, with minimal coloration of the sound on regular setting, and just slightly on high gain setting. It's got normal gain, xtra bass, high gain, and then some attenuated setting. Can't beat that for $25.00 and a housing smaller that a pack of gum.

A better choice is Hippo Mook - compared to E6 only drawback is too much hiss on sensitive iem.

I find ny HTC One (M7) to be far better without the e6. I actually find the e6 to be overrated and not improving on any source that I own. Only good thing (for me) would be the eq and potentially saving some battery.

@DJScope The nx1 seem to be a way better option. If mine isn't waiting for me at home when I get back from my holiday I'm ordering another one.

Lol, It probably died on the way :wink:

I've got a full refund but since I got a tracking number I wanted to wait and be 100% sure I don't get two. If it's not there next week I'm sure it never will arrive.

Haven't heard E6, but as an owner of NX1, E5 and E11 all I can say that NX1 killed both E's at an instant.

I have to add : with its 100 hours battery life on a single charge, there is no competition either.

@audiohurric4ne

I'm doing an a-b comparison with t1E and kc06a. I will confirm after testing with various tips, my t1e has superior bass in both quality and quantity IMHO. I'm thinking you either have a defective pair or maybe the ergonomics aren't allowing you to get a complete seal.

My kc06a is brighter highs that are more detailed. I do understand why you would prefer these for metal as bass is tighter and maybe a touch faster response. Also mids are a touch more forward than the t1E.

Soundstage is huge because of t1E tuning. I give it to t1E. It has a similar sound stage to the dm2. It's like a more refined dm2.

T1e is very comfortable to wear. I can go over the ear with them by angling them correctly.

The sub bass is fantastic, dare I say superior to the gr07 BE? Still figuring this out. So far it's looking like it.

No sibilance from what I hear.

If any negative, it seems like the mids are stepping back from first listen. I hope this doesn't continue.
