Added on November 13, 2011, 4:35 pmi've asked in the amplifier section and they recommend me the fiio e11 and hippo box+ that can tighten the bass of my es7...what u guys think? if still not much improvement on the bass after i have burn in for sometime then might consider buying an amp..

Hippo box+ is good. Very tight bass and nice pairing.

If u want to add more bass can try the Hippo Box+. It will make the mids fuller and add the amount of bass when both boost and bass button are on. Fiio E11 is more neutral and not as fun sounding as Box+.

Best is to audition those brands mentioned. Unless you want to gamble on it.

For "cheap" amps, Hippo Box+ and Govibe(dont remember the name) are not bad for ES7. Cant comment on Fiio products as their sound is not my cup of tea.

i forgot the model dy, but is priced at 650 also, same with the es7..

Klipsch Image One, the one with remote one. RM650 retail at Jaben.

so any users of hippo box+ or other amp here can give some comments? or any other es7 users which have their ways of tightening the bass?

go try at jaben lah
i tried using my zune hd without a lod
cant notice any huge diffs

im not staying in kl la bro...went there from melaka last friday just to buy the headphone...if here got Jaben den i everyday to test

I have ES7 and still I cant say which is better. The best is to audition.
Different ears different brands.

Tested alot of 200-600 budget amps, non satisfies my ears. ES7 can be very bright on certain amps. Some can give you bass but it can also brighten it until became digitalized+sibilance. Some give you loads of bass but you might need to sacrifice the clarity and might became muddy.

I've started off with Govibe Single and then Hippo Box+. Both amps are good for new ears.

You can try JDS Labs cMoyBB which I'm using right now. You can read it out first. Its not your commercial amps.

do you find the ES7 bright? if you do, get mini^3. if you like the brightness, get cMoy.

cheap and good.

or for the sake of just want to have an amp... go for fiio E5.... it should give a bit more bass (when using bass booster) and its so freaking affordable...
(i dont know if fiio still making E5 or now they replace it with E6... )

any malaccan here using hippo box+ amp? mind to let me test?

Fiio E6 is pretty affordable, and for bass boosting it done quite a nice job for an amp of its price, still its more towards muddy bass instead of punchy one

Last time i tried e6,the improvement on the sound not realy noticeable,then i end up with e11,the bass was abit punchier than e6,but if got chance sure i will trade in my e11 with hippo box+,the bass on hippo had much more punch.

Just like what he says, get a Hippo Box+ and be happy. Money back guaranty on the bass enjoyment

seems most of the recommendations goes to hippo box+ itchy to buy again dy

i had one, and when i wanted to sell it off, it went sold IMMEDIATELY after my post

i saw many selling in garage sales also but all sold out..but nvm, since i already broke for this month so maybe will get it later...slowly burn in my es7 first...
