Pretty fast and well packed. I got my EF-1 amp from there and it took a couple extra weeks because they stopped work for Chinese New Years and I didn't get the order in on time. but once it shipped, it was fast.

I got my E5 from head direct 2 days after ordering. Then again I live in New England so it didn't have to travel far.

Sweet I got my first amp!

One question though, I searched for the battery life but couldn't find anything and didn't want to go through 86 pages, anyone know right off?

About 20 hrs when using 16 ohm earbud (roughly volume on 3/20).

 

[sivakrdy]

how to charge this? only through USB? since its a mini USB can i use any ac adapter with a mini USB out?

switching on computer just to charge is utter nonsense for me.

 

[ClieOS]

Any good USB power adapter is fine.

As ClieOS said, any good A/C or 12V -> USB converter is fine. The voltage/etc. are the same on all. A "good" one might have better filtering than a really cheap one.

 

[ClieOS]

A safe choice will be 5V, 1A.

Ordered mine from DealExtreme on 3/9/09 and just received them today (3/24/09). When I ordered it, it also said "Pre-Order" but they shipped in 2-3 days same with a friend of mine.

I am REALLY happy with my E5 on my AD-700's. I actually have bass! Then again I had AV-710 mod which disables the built-in amp. They sound much more livley now. Can't wait to try gaming out soon! :c)

Only one person responded, and they were still waiting for theirs to arrive. It would be great if a few people would test their E5's, to see if they have the same problem.

I am having same issues, have a Gigabyte P35-DS3R motherboard with solid state capacitors and a Corsair 550W PSU. Both pretty high end products. Would be nice to get rid of that humming sound. Other then that the product is great!

anyone tried with AKG271-2?

 

[jonnywolfet]

just installed a AD8620 into my e5 and charging it now. will report on any sound changes tomorrow.

Agreed, it's a great match with bass boost enabled.Gives a real fun punch to hardcore electronica and hiphop.
