Disagree, and I would have readily agreed just a few months back. I have ripped most of the guts out of my SR60s (Bilavideo mods) and there is very little either side of the drivers - they are like little speakers sitting flat on my bedside table. That said, they werent built with the large cans on the AD900s, which seem to have been designed to be as open as possible - not quite the 'ear speaker' design of the K1000/Stax, but leaning in that direction. Even though they dont sit flat when I take them off, more sound leaks from these than any pair of cans I have owned. In some ways, it defeats the purpose of owning headphones - to enjoy music or movies without disturbing anyone else.
 


Even more leakage than the Grados?  That is an accomplishment.

My E11 should arrive in 2-3 days.  When I receive it, I'll post a short comparison of it and the PA2V2 in this thread.

Guys, A quick question. Is e11 the best amp under 100 $. Will there be any noticable difference if I use this between clip+ and HD595?
 
Also will there be a hiss, If I connect a low impedance(20 ohms) turbine coppers to it?
Thanks

If you wait a few days, most of the first batch buyer will probably receive their E11 by the end of the week or early next, then perhaps they can answer your question.
 
Hiss is not just impedance related. It also has to do with sensitivity and the frequency response. Generally BA based IEM is much easily affected by hiss. I have tried 16ohm dynamic and didn't hear any hiss, yet the 36ohm SE530 can pick it up.

ClieOS, Read your review on E11, and its seems to be dark as per you. I was thinking for my 50 Ohms HD595 and 20 Ohms Monster Copper pros(dynamic drivers) should I go for a E7 or E 11? Wide Sound stage and fun sounding is what Iam looking for. But the amp should not alter the FR too much.
 
I probably wont be running anything over 50 Ohms in the future.
 
If I have to get an amp, they need to reach my Bro's home by 8th of june. So time is an issue, cant delay too much though.
 
And thanks for the replies. :)

Between E7 and E11, my recommendation will always got to the E11 unless you need a DAC.. However, I don't see either E7 or E11 to be fun sounding per se. Perhaps something like cmoyBB or SoundMAGIC A10 is more fitting to that description as they tends to add more coloration to the sound. Don't know about the shipping though, you just have to contact a seller for that.

I should receive my E11 in the next couple of days. When I do, I'll be able to tell you how it sounds between my HD 595 and Cowon J3... if that would be of any use?

Hi everyone.  I'm happy to share that I just got 3 units of E11 on today already.  2 of the units are for my friends.  I just only tried for a while because it hasn't been charged yet.  I have a chance to try it on last January.  The outlook design seems to be remain the same but I cannot recall any difference on the sound.

Anyway, I found something interesting.  The capacitors inside the 2 units are different.  I don't have the third one to compare because my friend took it already.  Sounds like they are the same.

Would you maybe be able to do a comparison between the A10 and the E11?
