Should I buy the FiiO E3 for my senn HD555?

[john5220]

the HD555 is lacking in bass and I do not like software EQ it sounds muddy.

I hear these Fiio doubles the entire bass response under 500hz.

I will be using this home on a Asus Xonar DX as I am trading back my Audigy 2 ZS for the Asus.

Put it the Audigy has driver issues with vista. Apart from that the audigy has a bass and treble balance slider which sounds fantastic no matter how high u raise it unlike crappy EQ that sounds muddy.

My HD555 is lacking a powerful bass slam heck I was told these headphones were not even designed for music so now I really hate Sennheiser. I should of listened to you guys and not buy this piece of garbage.

Will the FiiO E3 do some bass wonders for me?

Then buy and try it yourself. It's only $10 and have 30days refunds. Nothing harmful here.

The E3 gives more bass, question is if it's also better bass.

But give it a try and hear for your self.

 

[michael is cool]

i use this combo sometimes. it really adds alot of bass

 

[chinesekiwi]

I'll say no. It's a bad combination because the E3 boosts the bass on an already bassy headphone. Definitely no.

The E3 sounds surprisingly good with the HD600, which are measured to have a stronger bass response than the HD555. The FiiO folks have managed to enhance the bass without the usual "cheesy" EQ'd sound. The overall SQ from the E3 is quite good - preferred by me to that from amps costing from 5 - 25 times the price. Based on what you post that you are looking for, it's worth a try.
