It looks tempting but is slightly out of my price range. I wonder how the FiiO E11 would compare.
What amp would you recommend for the WS99?
The clarity is great with my Kindle HDX, but they seem to lack energy. This is compared to my old MG7's. To test, I also tried the ws99's with and iPod 4g and was amazed at how much richer they sound across the whole spectrum. Perhaps not as clean as with the HDX, but miles ahead in bass impact and fullness. They sound anaemic in comparison to my HDX.
I figure an amp could sort this out as I want to use my HDX as my primary source. Which amp pairs best with these headphones?
C&C BH. I can not speak for any other portable amp, but this and the WS-99 is a match made in Heaven.

Seconded. The only other amps I've used with the WS99 are the FiiO E12v1 and the Ifi iCAN, but the C&C BH definitely made the WS99 sing like no other.
Well, I splurged and bought the C&C. The only problem is my source (Kindle HDX)doesn't have a dedicated line out or LOD, so I will be 'double amping'. I've rear that the DSP and DAC in the HDXis decent, but its amp doesn't have much power. To my ears it sounded cleaner than an iPod 3G that I have laying around, but it just didn't go as loud/rich.
Idk how the swivel joints get messed up. Maybe i just dont use mine often enough.
Anyway, it may be being discontinued in favor of the recent WS__x series?
How do these compare to the V-Moda M-100? Sorry if this has already been addressed but I can't seem to find it. I'm looking to get one or the other for rap and rock and to complement my ATH-M50s.
Anyone? What are the best settings for fidelity?
