If anybody's using PK1 as a portable phone, I highly recommend matching it with FiiO. It's small and best of all, it has a very good synergy with PK1. It's like match made in heaven. I couldn't be happier with my PK1 and FiiO combo.

I can't believe an "old timer" like you went this long without jumping on the PK1.....

I feel so ashame!

Actually it took me over 3 listening sessions over 3 months to decide between the OK1 and the PK1. I am still not sure I made the right decission.

They are both so good! I may have to order an OK1.

Does someone have experience with a/b-ing unamped PK1 between iAudio U5 and iAudio D2? (I have a fancy for U5 because of its small size) Or would you recommend something else besides Cowons? The new sony 63x series? How do the Sonys handle PK1-s anyway?

sony quite popular for their low output in headphone out. averaging 5mW per channel

Next time I visit Hong Kong I'll be sure to pick up a pair of PK2s. I was originally going to go PK3 then PK1 but there seems to be quite a big gap between the PK1 and PK2 and I'm still not looking towards buying an amp.

At just under $50 those PK2 seem to be a steal so I'll make sure I'll buy them.

I just received my pk1.
It is pretty hard to drive anyway =p, but it sounds good with my sr-71a

My PK2's are on the way. I walking around at a festival today and the crappy iPod buds sounded like total garbage when I played The Hand That Feeds by NIN. I have PX100's, but I often wear a hat, like I will at the Airshow in Atlanta tomorrow. How do they compare to Grado 80's?
I guess I could have gotten a pair of PK1's since I have a Little Dot Micro+ but, less to carry.

i was just at a head fi meet and listened to a lot of headphones from $100-$1000 from macpros, ipods with all the portable amps and wouldn't swap any of them for my 1st gen suffle/3g nano and pk2 or pk3 for that matter!

i was suprised. the amps didn't improve the sound on my pk2 either, made it worse. bigger but with bloated bass and distortion.
i'm hoping to get the pk1 with amp soon.

 

[toughnut]

u meant u are satisfied with your iPod+Pk2/Pk3 combo? glad to know somebody resisted upgrading

 

[KTamas]

Honestly I do think the PK2s get better with an amp (using them with my Corda 2Move since like 2 weeks), albeit not much, but it is noticeable.

 

[slick1ru2]

Just got my PK2's. AWESOME!!! Sound is as good as my Grado 80s, they stay in my ear and the rubber coating is cool as well as the storage box.

Wow, these PK1's sound amazing. Before burning them in I used them a bit with my Zune and they sounded better than my PK3's, then I used them with my computer, and they sounded a bit static-y. I thought maybe I just had to burn them in more, but after a while I figured out what was wrong. While using my Grados I had messed with the EQ on the computer a bit, and apparently the PK1's didn't like those settings. I turned off the EQ and OMG these sound amazing, not static-y at all.

It sounds like full size cans are in my ears. They're not even fully burned in yet, maybe 12 hours of burning in time so far, but already I'd say they're *gasp* better than my SR60's. edit: and this it them UNamped, I can't wait till I get an amp. XD

Yuin FTW! <3

I got a pair of pk2's long time ago and my little brother lost it

I still want to have it again.

It's a really good pair of headphone in low budget
