Im thinking abut the E12 to use walking with my iPhone 5 but thinking now the E17 might be better choice. I'm using Shure SE530 Isolation buds.Ideas?

I'm not familiar with your earbuds. I'm using Grado 325i with the E17. I also use the E17 as a pre amp for my E9 at home for my Grado RS2i. I'm not sue pre that the E17 would have much effect with earbuds. You would have the advantage of digital to analog and you can adjust your treble and bass.

Oe2 leaks out music easily put I know it has more bass then the ae2. Oe2 are smaller and looks weird when putting the earphones on. I would go with ae2 just because more comfort and the sound quality on the vocals sounds better. And they do cancell noise even though they weren't made for that.

I cannot compare to the E4C, however I have had the 315's for a few months now. I take BART in San Francisco. While I can hear the train during the transition between songs, I can barely hear a thing during the song at mid level volume. Make sure to look both ways when crossing the street, because you won't hear them coming :)

The -P variant has a lower impedance and is therefore easier to "drive" from a portable device: in short, they require (noticeably) less volume from your iPhone than the -S variant will. The S will sound slightly better on home stereo gear (i.e. something with a decent pre-amp) but the difference is very slight and unlikely to be noticed unless you have a library full of lossless music. For context: I've had the ER-P's for almost three years now, drive them off my iPhone 95% of the time and couldn't be happier with the sound quality and isolation.

I have both and I used the new 20i last week in the plane. In my opinion QC 15 is better in noise cancelling but I like the 20i to carry around. I used 20i in the bus and in the car with IPHONE listing music and I like it. Quality QC 15 is better in the plane but to carry around I like 20i

There is very little room after you fold up you're headphones (I'm using ATH-M50s/LE) and place your cable on top but I was able to put my FIIO E17 Aspen in the bottom. I think the E17 is a tad bit larger than the E11, so it should work. It's tight with hardly anymore room other than your connector cables. I would have to say you could if your headset is the same size as mine and you don't mind the case completely filled.

Get the plus. You can decide later on to purchase a second one to link with it. Totally worth it. I have a classic as well and the plus is newer model and sounds better. Its a little bigger and louder, and longer battery life.

Yes it comes with 4 straps. It depends on your earplugs or headphones. I hear a improvement in the sound with the E12. I own both and I have not used the E11 after purchase.

I have the se215 earbuds and they work mostly. As with other reviews the right earbud kinda goes in and out of sound if you move too much. But only for a split second, im thinking of using sugro molding glue to keep them in place. The mic and volume buttons work fine with my iphone 6 plus.

Will the Bluetooth will work with my Fiio E17 DAC? I use the DAC with my iPod Shuffle--the ear bud output of the Shuffle connects directly to the DAC through a DAC cable, and then you plug your ear buds into the DAC. This bypasses the iPod's internal DAC. How does the Bluetooth work then, since there is no cables involved? I'd love to have noise cancelling with the DAC too!

I bought the Shure SE530 and have been using the Shure 5E and the newer Shure 530 are much better sounding!

How far? Like four steps away... I try not to separate from my iphone. They comfortable though. My motorola headphones worked way better even from one room to another.

I haven't tried those specific Sennheisers, so I can't comment on the comparisons. I would say don't bother looking at full sized headphones for jogging or travelling. You should consider a nice pair of in ear monitors, which are the step up from earbuds. These akg headphones don't have a tight fit and are pretty cheap and plastic-y feeling. I wouldn't trust them for travel or jogging.

I've been listening with iPhone, iPod, iPad, and from amp of new NAD D3020. All are good but from NAD is best. I don't think the phones are hard to drive so they sound great with may systems. I am considering the new Fiio X5 or the HRT microstreamer.

The older freedoms would drop all the time. When I walk to work I keep my iphone5 in my back L pocket and it stays connected, except for the occasional hiccup where it drops for a split second then keeps playing. When I run I use an armband or carry it in my hand and no prob. Inside it works all around the gym.
