erm bro, e9i and e9 the same right? can e9i insert e17/e7?

Nope, FiiO E9i is for docking the iPhone but you can still use the FiiO E7/E17 by using the FiiO L7 adapter to bypass the internal amp then hook up to the FiiO E9i via the 3.5mm input at the back.

Iphone, Laptop mostly.

Kinda hard to narrow down music preference. Examples including Muse, Death Cab For Cutie, vocal groups, oldies, J-pop...
Will probably use the headphones for movies also.

Thanks in advance.

For all rounder, do get either the AKG K450 or the Q460 where you have the inline mic and control for iOS devices.

after comparing Q701 and K701, I don't see any major "sound quality" improvement. The obvious thing that I can notice is the cosmetic !!

Are you referring to no difference in sound quality or preference with the K over the Q hmm.gif

Thanks for the feedback! I was also looking at K450 / Q460 for portability.
Can you please comment on how much the sound leaks? And if possible, how it compares to K142/K242? Thanks smile.gif
*
Very different. The AKG K450 / Q460 being build for consumer, are more musical with some emphasis on bass while the K142 / K242 are built for monitoring / studio applications where flat / neutral responses are preferred hmm.gif

Yes, it is just a re-branding exercise nod.gif AKG is creating a second tier of the professional range of mics and headphones to compete with lesser brands in terms of pricing.

Not sure if anyone facing this problem with K450. When I retract the headphone to keep, the very last 1mm of the right side cannot enter. Its like spongy and when I push in, it'll slide out a bit (like sponge). It cannot fully enter. Though there is no functional failure (not that I know of yet), I'm not sure if its gonna be a problem in the future.

Just happened lately.

You may had accidentally over extended that particular side nod.gif

Notice all these headphones are closed-end headphones.

In terms of difference in price:

AKG K550 = Yen 24,800

Ultrasone Signature Pro = Yen 89,000

Ultrasone Edition 8 Palladium = Yen 127,800

Do the Yen to RM at your own risk of price tag shock. tongue.gif

As for the sound, the law of diminishing returns applies. Sure the Signature Pro and the Edition 8 sounds better, but not to the extent that I'd like to pay for to get that kind of sound. It sounds better than the AKG K550, but not THAT much better that I'd be willing to pay that much more to get it. Better soundstage, details, resolution, and in the case of Edition 8, improvements across the mids, highs and lows. I'm planning to use the K550 on the go, so as much as I'd like to have the best, I wouldn't appreciate the best while being outside walking around with it. Plus, I don't want my head lopped off for thieves to steal the Edition 8 off my head. tongue.gif

Any in-depth review on the AKG K550 to be expected hmm.gif

What about 24/6, Sunday, 2pm, Starbucks at 1st Avenue, 1st floor, Berjaya Times Square hmm.gif

Lennox should be coming with his AKG K240mkII and of course stringfellow with the star of the meet, the brand new K550 drool.gif

Will come with sources, DACs, amps and the AKG Q701 nod.gif

If you have an AKG, do lugged it along. If you have anything else to compare with AKG, bring it too. If you have nothing at all, just bring your keen sense of music along tongue.gif

Anyone else hmm.gif
