With all this talk about high impedance, usefulness, big money, and high resolution, I just wanted to throw this out here: The FiiO FF3 have a high Rez sound, low impedance, easy to drive, great bass (probably my favorite earbud bass), great midrange (again a favorite), a large soundstage (and again on a favorite list), an easy fit(YMMV), and I think they even look good. Their treble is just a bit shy(depending on foams used), and their cable isn't the best though it's not horrible. The price is right for sure. If I could only afford one, it would be this one or my retune of the Tingo TG38--which can also be driven perfectly off of a typical 1v source. You don't need big money or big amps with buds to have a tremendously satisfying sound. The price has gone up on that Tingo ($17 USD) and retuning it is a bit of a danger, but it's very hard to beat as well. The Tingo also have a great midrange that makes my list and a great treble that is smooth and sweet. The soundstage is massive, but the bass is just okay after retuning. Mediocre before the retune. Nonetheless, for $20, it is unbelievable. I wouldn't necessarily say that one of these is better than the other, but they do have a different set of assets. It's a Marilyn Monroe vs. Sophia Loren situation. I'm not sure which is which. Just saying.
