E7's bass boost is better than E5 hands down. 1st E7's amp section is miles ahead compared to E5, it doesn't suffer from bass and treble roll off as E5 does on certain headphones/earphones. Treble roll off is very little compared to the huge bass roll off on E5, it was done when both amps loaded with 16ohm load. Fiio E7 maintains the sub bass on it's bass boost, while E5's bass boost peaked at 70Hz and then it rolled off on the sub-bass region.

For me based on frequency measurements, Headstage Arrow 12HE is the best amp on the bass boost category, Fiio E7 is nothing compared to it. But it costs 199Euro which is over rm1000....

EDIT: E5's total bass boost amount is lower than E7 too. E5 has about 3.25dB bass boost, E7 has 4.5dB. As comparison, 3dB is the the doubling of power, while 6dB-10dB usually perceived as doubled volume on listeners.

ok...its time 2 'kumpul' money...

gotta get me da 1 E7...

Have you tried Atrio earphones on Jaben? I think you should save money for it instead of E7, I think it will satisfy you better than using Fiio E7 with your current earphones. Unless you want to use the DAC function on the Fiio E7.

im a basshead... btw,im planing 2 combine my hippo boom wit da e7...

if there r little difference only on da bass section,then im sticking 2 my e5... y waste money rite...

n wat does DAC function do realy...?

DAC is digital-analog-converter. it converts digital data of sound signals into analog signals. The Fiio E7 works like usb soundcard.

xde kaitan langsung wit da bass rite...?

wat is it actualy...?better music?sound...?

Well i bought it as usb soundcard. It sounds better than my laptop headphone out.

is fiio e7's amp neutral ( aka extremely flat without any colouring no sweet vocal no extra bass and those . ) ?

at bass boost lvl 0. It's very flat, probably deviates by very little.

remember it's done using RMAA so the reviewer's soundcard does colour the sound a little bit.

Am loving the E7 coz of the 2 headphone jack, sharing music with my gf now ;D

really awesome

woah... now i know the reason why fiio implemented that

Haha, it still can b useful if you've two headphone/earphone, save ur time on removing and plugging another headphone/earphone xD

yeah good for quick referecing without pluging in and out of jacks.

I finally got it.Thank You "E1 - AKG" Lee. What i can say is, SHIT awesome. Thought the only other amp i have ever own was the fiio E5. But dang the sound plug into a laptop. 100% Show improvements and i am only using my AKG K416 p. The vocals so clear. 100% satisfied.

before i use the E7, my headphones were plug directly to on board soundcard.. the highs were really really harsh and bright on the M50.. but seems the E7 made the it warmer now.. rocks!

reali hapi tat d e7 helps tq 4 all ur support

still waiting for ibasso D2 vs E7 review

or is there one already?

I'm interested on how does it compare with other USB-DAC, e.g uDAC and 3MOVE, SQ wise that is, ignoring the price-range?
