I completely agree it's funny how these are similar in terms of power requirement to my 4z I actually use them with my desktop setup, too

Yes, they do seem to perform much better with an amp. Listening to the E500's directly out of phone isn't going to cut with these. You'd be missing out on what these IEM's are capable sounding like. The step up in performance when amped is surprising to say the least.

I'm tempted to try some of finals other iems because these are basically $5 if you count the tips as a $15 value

Me too, the sound of these has peaked my interest some their other IEM's. The E500's have set the bar as to what's possible from a sound standpoint in a buget IEM's in my opinion.

I generally don't mess with iem because I don't like the fit so I never got the hype around final e tips until now. I shove these deep in my ears and they disappear

Wow the e500 are incredible for the money. Very good imaging and a nice sound stage, too

@User00 Thank you for your support! We are really glad that you like it.

Woot, nice calculation, a steal right?

Mine arrived a day early. Early impressions are these sound so MUCH better than what I paid for them. I tried them out of my Samsung S9 unamped and they sound good. But when I added in the DACportable to the mix they became great! So much detail, dynamics and punch. My only quibble is it's hard to distinguish left from right without starring at the housing. Soundwise Final nailed it!

@Slim1970 Omg, it is our pride when you are taking the photo of our E500 with so many high end products at the back Sorry for the difficulty on checking the L and R.
Actually, our earphone comes with ear tips which have different colors for the stem.

If you pull up the ear tips sleeves a little, you will notice that the Left stem is in Grey color and the Right stem is in Red/Pink color which definitely let you identify the L/R faster and easier.

My E500 was shipped two weeks ago, but due to the protests, it’s in limbo with no scheduled delivery date from FedEx. I support the protests, so I don’t mind waiting.

 

[jwbrent]

Unexpectedly, my E500 was delivered by the postman today, yeah!

I’ve been listening for the last hour and I can’t believe the quality for such an inexpensive IEM. I’ll have more to say, but this is up there with the best great value audio component buys in my experience.
