Does anyone have these working with a Fiio E12 headphone amp, and how is it working out?

Unfortunately I have to agree. I have an original pair that's falling apart, so I bought these. First, they are painful if worn longer than 20 minutes. They sit flat on the ears, so a lot of sound is leaked, and the bass response is severely lacking unless you smash them against your head. I have the travel fiio headphone amp. THAT was a great purchase. Used it on a long flight - 14 hours and no problems. Worked the whole way back too.

Forget it , it's a kind of chinese copy and has nothing to deal with the original, I bought one and returned it 2 days after. This model PRO-4AA is out fabrication since a long time, try to buy a second hand one with ebay the sound of the original is wonderfull and it's my favourite headphone, it's not so comfortable for the ears but it's nothing regarding the quality of sound.

Take a look at the impedance on these headphones. It's an almost certainty that your macbook air's sound card (I'm not a mac user, but I'm fairly sure the macbook has integrated sound) does not have an amplifier, which is needed to drive these headphones to their full potential.Amps are a dime a dozen. Buy one, plug one end into your macbook, plug your headphones into amp, and your sound should be greatly improved (especially your lack of any bass). Fiio amps are relatively low cost and should do the trick.

Depending on the type of headphones you're using it could range from slightly to a whole lot. I use it with my ATH-M50s and I was blown away by how much better it sounds. I never use them without the amp anymore and it feels empty when I have to use them alone. But as I said, I think you should Google your specific pair of headphones to see if they would go well with an amp.

With 3 settings for impedance variations, my guess would be that it'll drive them just fine. I've only run iems & ath-m50x's tho, fwiw.

Only own one pair. I don't have any issues with buzzing. I'm sure you've tried, but it's worth asking: 1. Did you try them from a different source, amp, cable?2. Make sure the cables is inserted fully. I noticed one of the cables had a very snug fit. Hope you can solve the issue.

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

I use my P7 with an iphone 4 and the FiiO E11. Without the Amp is fine but I will say with my FiiO E11, the sound is better (not as loud) and the Bass is perfect and not overpowering. I did not expect this, like Johnny wrote, "They are very low impedance @ 22ohms." I expected the bass to increase but the sound is better as well.

Just tried them with my Dell Inspiron N5040 laptop. Sounds great, with way more gain than needed (50% on iTunes all I can stand)

sure they will work with evrything because they have a low impedance . You just have to get the right adapter to plug it in .The sound is clear and verybalanced

I didn't have that problem with the ones I bought. They have worked fine. Might be a problem with one you received, or if you have a way to adjust your pre-amp some may help to corrext the isssue.

Dear Mr. Gluck....I also wear hearing aids (Siemens Cielo Life open fit) I purchased a FiiO E6 Portable Headphone Amplifier from Amazon. The sound performance is truly amazing. Try reading up on it and get back to me. I have been using mine over a year now and I love them. Bill P. Conyers, Ga.

I'm probably not the best person to answer your question because I drive my headphones with one of two tube driven amps, but I'll help. The Emotiva headphone amp/DAC will drive almost any headphone easily. The Fiio E7 may or may not be adequate for the 300ohm HD600s. Check the Fiio website for specs and look for a suitable range of headphone impedances (if listed) for this amp/DAC. Also, check head-fi.org or innerfidelity.com for more info on headphones amps/DACs where you can find reviews. Sometimes an amp/DAC will recommend a headphone impedance range and a reviewer will have a very positive review of headphones NOT within that range - YMMV. Good Luck.

I haven't personally tried pairing it with a headphone amp, but the one built in can be boosted to I think 300mA, and it also has 2 separate line outs, one which is stereo 1/8" and the other is digital/coax, both are totally uncolored and should work really well with any sort of amp. I pair it with my SE846 in ears and it sounds amazing.

Both sets of headphones have great FR; bolted up to the FiiO E11 will enhance that signal with good gain (one level) and 3 levels of bass boost.The E11 is actually on Amazon Black Friday sale @ $59.99 (sonicelectronix.com) which is a bargain.Check shipping for bottom line drive out cost. HTH

these are low impedance and work on any device headphone jack. No headphone amplifier is necessary, in fact, I am listening on my computer right now with volume set at 10% of max. and it is almost too loud. If your laptop volume seems too low, it is due to audio settings on the laptop.

I like them . I use them playing live music thru my Amp. I use them when I record my music. I have the 40's and they sound great.
