nope,portability is paramount to me.
I still use clip+ for that reason alone.

the day I feel I want something better I will get x5 or dx90 but additional larger amp is a bother to me

Then we're totally on the same page! Considering how super portable this thing is, I don't think there's anything to match at this price. I can carry this around with barely an impact in what I'm carrying, and since I actually use my iPod a fair bunch, I'm not going to be swapping it for a more dedicated DAP like an X5. I can't carry around a larger amp because anything all that much bigger has (to me at least) defeated the portability factor of it. I've got an iPod Touch 5th gen, which is probably perfectly fine with driving the B3s, but I feel like sounds start to get a little hint of distortion if the audio out volume is too high which has nothing to do with the volume level I get out of the B3s. Hence, buying one of the smallest amps I could find for a very reasonable price.

Indeed,my cousin tried x5 in toronto and hes considering a17 now due to weight and size issues.

According to him,his shorts were barely on when he put x5 in pocket,lol.

Plus a good 1-2 hours per day is in gym where clip+ is the undisputed king.

My cousin is sharing his Foo Fighters singles with me which means tons of Dave Grohl live and acoustic goodness coming my way! I'm getting pretty excited thinking how my incoming B3s are gonna handle it.

The foo fighters singles seem well recorded and I enjoy them through the havis using iPod video>e11k.

The Sony seems really portable, but the price is pretty steep and i'll wait for impressions to come in.. The kogan however is so enticing.. Too bad it's only available in hostralia..

  If u get it from lemmur they ship the same day but they upload the status 2 days later or that's what happened to me, take like 3 days to give me my guide number and the 4 day they arrive xD . Im im Mexico by the way.

I ordered from them on Saturday Morning 4th Oct. It kept showing "waiting for fulfillment" and not until yesterday I got USPS tracking number. Website says they have stockist in US and ship from US warehouse(probably Amazon). It's shipped from Phoenix, AZ, so it will probably get here on Friday(I'm on US east coast).
 
After ordering I went to Havi.hk website just to checkout their web. They list Penon audio as their authorized international dealer. Oops, should've ordered from there.

I do ordered from DHL express and cost me 7dlls.  I can't take the free options because here in Mexico, mail system is super slow in most cases,  things  that take 5 to 10 work days here take more than a month

. And that's the every day here people don't feel honor or passion for nothing but they self.

  I totally agree, that's why this site and hobby is so interesting. I didn't find the Q701 particulary warm either until I got the DT880's and realised I missed the warmth from the Q's.


Fair enough, it is a subjective point but I would love to read a comparison of the two, as there doesn't seem to be much about the Pro2 except for that one paragraph in Baycode's thread and other threads link to that post lol.
