I think many people will be surprised to see a review of the Beats Mixr as a hi-fi headphone, so please read on... http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3690-mixr-headphone-dr-dre-review-dale.html

The E12 is an amazing amp - it really brings out the bass in a good way, because of the power reserve it has and how that makes the bass solid and undistorted. E12 is also great for treble because it doen't make the highs so sharp or strident - it's a sound that's effortless, almost like live music. I know that sounds exaggerated, but if you have a good source, like one with a true Line Out (not just a headphone jack), the improvement you get is really worth the price.

The Momentum treble is uneven - strong in low treble and weak in upper treble. The M100 is perfect in treble, but too strong in the bass. Unfortunately there is no simple EQ to fix the Momentum, but simple bass EQ does fix the M100.

This was a very fortunate find - I got it from LSTN direct for $100 USD plus $6 shipping. http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3639-lstn-fillmore-ear-stereo-headphone-review.html

Here is a very cool headphone, my favorite stealth color (matte black), small but mighty good. http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3631-marshall-monitor-stereo-headphone-review.html

Here's an extended look at the FiiO E07K and analysis of sound quality: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3615-fiio-e07k-andes-dac-plus-headphone-amp-review.html

If the price had not scared you away and you bought it, you might have gotten a really big shock with the sound.

Here is a text and youtube video review of the $1500 FI-BA-SS IEM: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3606-final-audio-design-fi-ba-ss-earphone-iem-review.html

I think the sound is very similar to the O2.

My analysis of the latest version of this amp: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3572-decware-zen-head-portable-headphone-amp-review.html

I love this amp. Looks as good as it sounds... http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3567-fiio-e12-mont-blanc-headphone-amp-review.html

I have a small (13.5 x 8 cm) leather case that fits the verza, small enough for a shirt pocket, so I can carry it that way if I need to. But users who want true portability can buy the Metallo case from v-moda and put their phone into that, then clamp the Metallo case to the verza and now everything is just one unit.

About the same as an iPhone5, except thicker. I don't use it outdoors, because it wouldn't make any difference. Can't hear really fine details with outdoor noise.

Here is a youtube video and text review of the new v-moda vamp Verza DAC (computer and i-device ) and portable headphone amp: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3509-v-moda-vamp-verza-dac-amp-review.html

I just hope, after sticking my neck out with this one, that Bose maintains the same sound for this AE2 series for at least a couple of years.

Here is a recent purchase - Bose AE2i - first headphone I've bought that does not require EQ: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3501-bose-ae2i-stereo-headphone-review.html

Wife still uses ATH ESW9a - very satisfied with that. I have been using mostly the ESW11, because somehow the sound is really satisfying in long-term listening. It may be the wood cups makes the difference? I just got a Bose AE2i last week, and am really surprised. It has such good balance I don't need any EQ with it. Also excellent soundstage. I think the older AE2 might have had some problems.

She will have to live with her $200 AT. No way would I ever spend $700 more on another one. I'm already down to 110 pounds from skipping meals.

She uses the ESW9a, and she is very happy with it. I will not give up my ESW11, which I have become very attached to.

Here's a lovely-sounding USB mini-DAC I got a few days ago: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/headphone-reviews/3444-hrt-microstreamer-dac-plus-headphone-amp-review.html

I bought the ESW11-Ltd a month ago, and it is my favorite in spite of very recessed treble. But the price is way too high, especially for such low fidelity. I'm very surprised that such a sound as this could be made in Japan, especially when the $200 USD ESW9a sounds so much better.

If you don't mind paying for the Momentum, it's much more compact, more comfortable, and sounds better than the M50. The black version is available now. There is a new Soundmagic HP200 you might consider also.

This is a recap of several headphones from previous reviews, with some new observations: Sennheiser IE800 and Momentum; ATH ESW11Ltd; V-Moda M100; SoundMagic HP200; Beyer DT770LE; Phiaton MS400. http://youtu.be/H1kWo_mmugY
