only if they are driven well and properly powered.
Put an E3 Headphone Amplifier between your music source and your
favourite pair of headphones or earphones for an awesome personal
listening experience right between your ears.
A personal remarks from seller: Being involved in hi-fi business
before, I was a little sceptical when being introduced to this product,
but I have to confess that I was pleasantly surprised with this Fiio E3
and E5 amp, it gives a fuller body, warmer vocal, crisper bass, wider
and deeper soundstage, in short it is more MUSICAL, a step closer to a
hi-fi system. I think this is because the MP3/MP4 players in the market
are mostly underpowered, the Fiio's amp just patch up the gap nicely,
yes, just nice, and they are not over-doing it. GREAT !

OK, just got the
amp. It is TINY. I
mean, really tiny. I don't know if pictures even convery the tininess
of it. I've never seen a Xin Supermicro, but it can't be any smaller
than this thing. Very nicely packaged, seems very well-made. Obviously,
there's no volume adjustment. Between my Sony A818 and Ety ER-4Ps w/
S-cable, it sounds good, though I haven't listened enough yet to say
how good. Volume-wise, the ER-4Ps without the 4S cable seem to have
just about the same volume as they do with the amp + cable. Which is
basically what I was looking for. So I can get the 4S sound with the 4P
volume. Soundstage seems a bit wider with the amp, and a bit more bass
as well, but those are based on very brief listening.
Two things are for
sure: 1) I'll have
no trouble fitting this amp in my shirt pocket or front pants pocket
along with the A818 & 2) it was worth the price I paid!

OK, I've done a
lot more focused
listening and here are my conclusions, based on my listening with a
Sony NWZ-A818 and Etymotic ER-4Ps (with 4s cable):
* Volume with the
4s cable + FiiO amp is almost identical to unamped 4p cable, but sound
quality is much better
* With the 4s
cable, the amp adds
volume equivalent to about 8 clicks on the A818 volume meter ^^ in
other words, level 22 with the amp is about equivalent in volume to
level 30 without the amp
* Comparing
equivalent volume levels
with and without the amp, I prefer the sound with the amp. Hard to
pinpoint what exactly I like better, but it's subjectively better.
Soundstage is a bit wider, overall sound seems a bit more precise and
open. Bass is boosted a bit, but it's not overwhelming and bass is
still tight.
Overall, even
without the volume
boost it gives me for high-impedence phones, I prefer the sound with
the amp. Given the price, size and sound quality I'd say this is a
no-brainer. If you need a volume control or power switch (power is cut
by unplugging headphone jack) look elsewhere (A note from
Kemen:
We have another model E5, which is with volume control and power
switch, with built-in rechargeable battery, a little bigger and
heavier, and higher price).
But if you want a tiny, great-sounding amp at an amazing price, I'd
highly recommend giving the FiiO a try.
One other side
benefit for me: the
headphone jack on the Sony is at the bottom, and I'd always kind of
wished it were at the top. With the FiiO configured the way I have it,
the headphone jack is now at the top.
P.S. I wish there
were an apparent
easy & reversible way of opening the case to see what's inside,
but
there doesn't appear to be. The size appears almost identical to Xin
SuperMicro and I am wondering if they cloned that amp (without the
Xin's volume control).

I got mine today
(that was some fast
shipping from Hong Kong! ), and I am not disappointed. The sound
quality is as good as my uamp107. The sound signature, however, is
different - the bass is more emphasized (which is not a bad thing when
paired with the IM716). It is a huge improvement over the standard HP
jack on my ZVM.
The amp is small
(2.17' X .9' X .58'). I saw many pictures of it, and I was still
surprised when I took it out of the box.
For what I paid
for it ($13) well worth the 'investment'. It's definitely a winner in
the SQ/$ category.
edit: dang! it's
even driving my vintage K240's (600 ohms)
BY Kabeer
Got my today also.
I will let it burn
for a while before I give any impressions. It doesn't look like it has
any big caps that need to burn in though.
EDIT: Can't help
myself, will leave some short impressions anyway.
The fiio is (at
least before burn in,
but I do not believe that burn in will change much) not completely
neutral. As other have stated, it definitely gives the sound more body.
I especially belive that it has a bumb in the lower midrange as well in
the bass. This makes it add just a bit of warmth to the sound.
