What headphones do you listen with? You may need a hp that is more forgiving, not the amp.

Do you recommend any Headphone thats more forgiving and musical? upto $300
 
I love Brainwavz M2 a lot. I'm looking for similar kind of headphone which is more musical/enjoyable rather than accurate

I would also know if there is a "better" headphone to work with FiiO E17 and E9.    I purchased both of these amps first and I figured I would look into phones second. 
 
So far I've picked up the Denon AH-NC800 phones on clearance over at the Expo.   Great price at $200 NIB since they're blowing them out and now I realize they're being discontinued.

So did I... I had one in my cart on amazon this morning, went to buy it, its now $199... Guess I will check ebay now...

 

I just checked and the ebay seller I purchased from is still holding at $139 with free shipping.   Not sure if it's okay to post ebay links here, but a simple search will work.   So maybe the retail pricing on this unit will be closer to $199?

Received my E17 today and have been charging it for the last 3 hours. I just wanted to make sure, when the red light turns off that indicates that the battery is full right? Because at this rate im wondering if it will even switch off, its been along time now.

Loving this DAC so far. Thinking of picking up and E9 to compliment it.  Anyone know how it sounds with the AHD2000?

Yes, when the red light goes off, the E17 is fully charged. If you are using the standard USB port on your computer/laptop, then the voltage is usually lower than from (say) a wall socket USB charger, so it will take longer.
 
When I charged my E17 using my laptop USB port, it took almost 8 hours, I believe.

@visanj
So your comment is that its too good? Haha. Ignorance is bloss. I have some songs that have problems due to mastering and my setup shows it all. It makes me wish I didnt know, but i wouldnt want apple earbuds also.



@Beaver316
Yes, when red light disapears the device is fully charged. First charge depending on what you are charging it with could take 5-9hrs. I charged it with my laptop when I first got it(mistake) and it took 9hrs.

I use headphone out of my ipod and earphones when I am out on normal activites. No nee to be head fi biased. At home and when i want i use my full setup

They are discontinued officially. Get them quickly. The new ones look ugly tbh
 
Now I feel like some D7000 cups, but they are so expensive. I need some lottle/marksix/lucky draw

 

[beaver316]

The first 2 hours i charged it from my laptop, and now the next 2 from the wall. Hopefully it finishes tonight because if it doesnt, then the next chance i'll have to use the E17 is on Sunday. The wait is killing me!

Is denon d2k headphone better than Brainwavz HM5 or Sennheiser HD series?

 

[visanj]

 
is there any other recommendation as I'm from India and it would be difficult for me to purchase even in normal situations (when product is available). Now if D2k is in limited stocks then I'm not sure if I would be able to get it
