iBasso SR3 — 150Ω version of the SR2

[jamato8]

Well, I wonder what are you waiting for!

Unless you are planning to give the SR3 a shot..

Seems like this is getting to be a thread for a different headphone.

No worries Jamato, it got off-topic just by a little bit, everything's under control. We can't have all answers exclusively about the SR3!

I have no worries. I just get tired of going to threads and after a while seeing info on everything but the product that the thread is about. I see this in many threads. Get tired of the weeds.

This is an ongoing discussion and everything is related to the SR3.
The "off topic" begun after someone commenting on my comparison between the SR3 and the Clear Mg.
A couple of posts not %100 about the SR3 are not derailing the thread.

In my humble opinion the real problem about most threads here is that they are becoming "fanboy" threads
Too much noise about how I love my headphones and oh look, they are the best headphones on the planet and giant killers etc.
No real information, no progress going on.

I would agree. Cheering something with no reference to what something is being compared to is of little to no use after a while. I am glad that I have plenty to compare to as a reference point but not always happy with how much money I have spent. :^)

The truly good headphones are probably the least discussed. Everyone is too busy listening to comment on them.

You know how it goes, after a certain point we spent a lot more to extract this theoretical %5 extra but sometimes it is even less - if it is - and doesn't worth the expenses.

I couldn't agree more. When I read someone's agony about, say, if the 109 pro is good enough, or spending more will make him happier, I find it very wrong (at least) not to speak about the Clear MG or the NDH 30 or the HD-660S2 (just saying). The most useful posts in Head-fi are those who point to other directions too, with knowledge and arguments, or with experience at least. I can call "fan-boy" threads only those where followers get irritated when other headphone(s) are mentioned, often or not. On the other hand, there ARE threads where comparisons are encouraged and welcomed and "fans" don't get irritated by that. We must continue exchanging our listening experiences. We all search for the best headphone(s) after all.

I've seen much worse. Besides it was only a few posts, similar to the traction this post you made warranted. I get it though, the topic at hand can often venture way off the trail.

I should have been more clear. I didn't mean this thread, I meant in general, I have seen some that require a lot of reading to get to the heart of what something is like.

Yes, it's very frustrating. Especially when you get an email notification every time someone posts.

I will also upload here at Headfi in a couple of days.

Thanks for reading.

nicely done review

@voja , when can we read your version of the review?

 

[wkc5657]

just really curious how this will fare against the recent fiio ft3.....one thing for sure is that the pad changing mechanism for ft3 is much easier compared to the sr3

nice to see more players step up with bundled differently tuned pads though
