I think JVC marshmallows for some 500 bucks is more than enough for that phone. it's got okaish sound quality. If you want to use quality IEMs, better get a headphone amp.

also check Brainwavz alpha

Best deal I found for JVC Marshmallows is Rs 550 -- JVC MARSHMALLOW [HA-FX34] - Rs.550.00 : Pristine Note, Shop audio, headphones, amplifier, DAC, hifi, mp3, audiophile products online store India

Anyone can point out a better deal? Its almost impossible to find these brands in local shops here in Hyderabad...

yeah dude i know. That's why i asked about amp also. but which one. i seriously doubt fiio e3's performance. And fiio e5 is lil bit out of my budget. Totally unsatisfied with audio quality of optimus one

Just ordered Philips SHP2000 from flipkart... for the PC... I already have Sennheiser HD 180... but they feel fake and unsatisfactory. Had bought them on ebay... I have decided... never again buy on ebay unless its a killer deal...

oh maaaaan. It's not much better than HD 180. Should've gone for SHP2700. but the question is how O1 will drive these full size headphones!

Is e3 with m6 a good option

Just checked fischer audio ts-9002, 9001 on lynx. pretty impressive stuff. what r ur views on these. also, will a fiio e3 will suffice it's power requirements

I dont think an E3 would matter much. An E5 would give a bass boost and drive the iems better.
The O1 wouldn't be able to power the more demanding iems or headphones with higher impedence so in my opinion its best to stick to jvc marshmallows and save money for something like the sandisk clip+ which would give you excellent audio for only 2.5k somethin.
Plus, Pristinenote is a very reputed dealer and provides great after sales service!
I guess its either the Jvc or the soundmagic. For amp, if at all you want to buy, it would be for improving bass (in case of e5) or for providing more driving power( that translates to louder volume). Such low cost amps wouldn't change the sound signature of these entry level iems.
Plus its more of a hassle too to carry the amp (even though its small) with you.

My 2 cents- Save money, get the clip+.

Just received my Philips SHP2000 today. Tested it... and found that Sennheiser HD 180 is a lot better. Very disappointed... barely average quality...

From now on, I will stick to Sennheiser...

How should I do the burn-in for a headset? Never heard of that...

use this: Download section for Burninwave generator

remember. Do not do burn-in at very high or max volumes. It will kill the headphones.
