What does an FiiO E17 Alpen + FiiO L9 LOD + an Apple iPhone 4S equal? Pure awesomeness is what!

I know what u mean james
 
Well pelotonjon, if u went and read the 100 pages of the e17 thread u would know that there is a solution to this. Im kidding about reading that much lol. But yea, u r able to put the top band in a location that alllows for full music playback and use. Just not other stuff.

first day with the EX600, I expected them to be darker or bassier but they arent and that is a nice surprise. it is going to do fine as an alternative to the darker sound of the TF10. took me a while to get a fit but the complys fixed it.


So how you liking them so far? I had some fit issues myself as well as and it took me awhile to find a happy medium with the aggressive treble. I went with a Monster triple flange to fix the highs up a bit increase a little isolation and bring in a slightly deeper bass. The Sony tips no matter which ones I tried drove me crazy.

it was all trebly and lacked body no matter what sony hybrip yip I tried. never got a good fit, it was more a matter of the IEM staying in place because of the memory wire but not because the tip was inside.
The complys are known to muffle the treble a bit so I guess that helped, plus now they do actually get inside my ear canal, and I can finally notice the bass. and it responds very good to the cowon's EQ.
 
fit and sound, its all perfect now, I think I'm going to like the EX600. just wish it provides more isolation, I guess they do with your triple flange?

Isolation becomes a tad better with my flange tips but it's still nothing to rave about. I'm guessing it's probably on par with your complys. I use my EX600's more for running around in the mall and doing stuff around the house. In real busy noisy places I don't use them I usually use my UE700's or my Westone4's. I can easily drown out the noise by cranking my DAP but I don't want to be deaf by age 45.

IT SOLD OUT IN HALF AN HOUR. from 3:30 to 4 pm. after news of it's availbility was posted on twitter..along with mass refreshes of teh site(i went to check at 8pm and the site was still a bit laggy. probably from people still bashing F5)
