I just got the jvc-fxh30, they are pretty fun sounding and has good fit, light, overall more balanced than most earphones like this,I can say that these have no sibilance, no peaky treble, and Ia m pretty treble sensitive. The soundstage is pretty big and for a driver this size produce a nice sound that's big. It is pretty airy and is smooth, bass and drums are not as impactfull as the ckr9 and surprisingly more balanced

So, I got the Pono Player yesterday, cute little bugger, came with one Neil Young song loaded, good sound (lousy song), connected it to my PC, PC didn't recognize it, Pono Music Player (a slightly disguised version of JRiver 20) doesn't recognize it, reset it, NADA. Sent a "ticket" to the Pono folks, got an automated email response, haven't heard anything back yet today. Not a good 1st impression...

(I must be living under some electronic voodoo curse, my HTC M8 died on me out of nowhere today, my Peachtree GrandPre preamp bit the dust a month ago or so, back to the factory twice already, sheeesh!!!)

Ok fellas. Time for some discovery material. I have these in my ears as I type this message.
 
Head on over to our good buddy ericp10s thread for the Thinksound Rain2 here http://www.head-fi.org/t/746027/thinksound-rain2-to-pour-in-ears-soon-impressions-and-discussions-thread#post_11120965 .
 
Very early impressions as I got them today. Do not sleep on this deal. You want a woodie that sounds much more expensive than the price for admission. Much much greater than the price?. $50 for these are highway robbery. Just for headfiers.

sorry to hear this. I almost bit on this Pono thing, but I'm waiting for the Ibasso DX90 instead. Might go with these new Sony HD DAPS also?

Ooo, the Rain2? I was given the opportunity to review these from Thinksound, and will be receiving a review sample pretty soon. Glad to see I could be part of a new hype train again. I kinda miss the action.

This DAC amp is excellent for the price. I doubt there is anything better for $100 they are asking for these.

Is this a portable amp? Or a dedicated mobile PC amp like the geek out?

It is a portable Dac/amp. Sound card for your tablets, iphone, computers. It has some interesting tech behind the specs. It uses an internal lithium Ion battery for a sound buffer/ filter that actively cleans up the signal giving it a very clean sound. Kinda unique to this unit over much more expensive dac/amps I mentioned in the review.

Sounds like a must pick up. Thanks.
