You won't get a boost of the mids with the FiiO E3 as it is mostly a bass boost, with a slight treble increase. You could however get an increase in quality if you use a line-out dock with your iPod in conjunction with the FiiO E3

Which rechargeable battery brand and charger should I order with the fiio?

wow i just tried this with my e4cs, got it free courtesy of jaben, with a purchase of mylar bijous (gift for a friend)

All i can say i'm amazed. The bass boost is quite appreciated, it's tight without being excessive. I've always enjoyed the accuracy of the e4cs but would have liked abit more bass in my music. Only gripe i have about this lil thing is that i have to use my ipod at 0 vol lvl, and even then it's still a LIL loud for certain songs. Impressive!

Ordered one on Deal Extreme, it was shipped yesterday.

I've never used a headphone amp before but for $8.50 I figured it's worth giving it a try.

I think you'll find it a pleasant surprise. What headphones and source are you using?

 

[japc]

I find the sound to be lower, fuller (good E3 equalization) and a little bit more detailed on the SR-80. On the Mylarone-X3 I did't notice that big of a difference and the background hiss is a tad annoying. Awesome for the price, really.

Hey guys. I ordered a white E3 from deal extreme on 9/30, and I havent received any information on a ship date yet. I have written them a few emails with no response. can anyone offer up any suggestions or insight? I assumed the white one would ship right away. thats why I went for it.

Mine was shipped on 19/09 and arrived on 03/10.

What do you mean by no "ship date yet"? Have you tried to open a ticket with DX?

Anyone tried this amp with a Denon D1000/D1001?
It might be a good idea to list all the headphones that benefit from this amp

edit: i've found a few feedbacks about the Denon so nevermind

I'll add another phone to the Fiio Friendly list: JVC HA RX900.

These are 64 ohm full size cans, and this is the one the Fiio has the most impact on, in a very positive way.

I'd read about the RX700 and RX900 on these forums, so I got the RX900 as they were less than $58 delivered. Right out of the blister pack, they were great headphones, so I concentrated on enjoying and camparing to Denon 1001s. When I finally got around to using the Fiio with the FX900s they had burned for about 60 hours, and the SQ was much improved. It smoothed out the sound, bass seemed more defined, and the gravely lower mids went away.
FWIW the RX900 has an 11.5' cord, so maybe that eats up some power. The cord does seem to be relatively high quality.

 

[mobbaddict]

Thks for the list dfkt.

Moontan: i've read your review of the RX900, pretty amazing for the price. Could you tell more about the difference between the D1001? I'm not 100% satisfied with my D1001 at the moment, i mean it's a great can but i feel like it could have more highs sometimes, and less boomy effect when i turn the volume to the top... i didn't completely burn it in though, just like you.

 

[Moontan13]

I liken the difference to like being that of "Reference" speakers vs. "Monitor" speakers.
The Denons lend themselves to more laid back styles of electronica, (Tangerine dream, Ray Lynch) acoustic music and female vocalists. The Denons shine with cello, viola and bowed string bass. The RX900s do better with rock hard rock, metal, dynamic electronica, (Enigma and vitually all sorts of dance/techno) as the bass beats have more punch without the sense you might be near overdriving them. Somewhere undecided is Kitaro and Enya, as well as other "fusion" varieties of NewAge.
I could be very happy with either, but it's nice to have a choice.

 

[mobbaddict]

Hmm i see what you mean by overdriving them, that's the feeling i got with the D1001, and i'm not sure the Fiio amp will help. Like you said the Denon is amazing with acoustic music (like Goldfrapp or Radiohead in my case), but I listen to rap 90% of the time so i need a clear & tight bass. The RX900 is a bit too heavy for me so now i'm very tempted to get a Grado (the Alessandro MS1 seems to be a bargain) to try something completely different. Thks anyway for the feedback.
