Not the best SQ. Very low power but OK with low impedance IEM's. Good price/quality ratio.

Would it be worth it for plugging a phone into having it run to a car EQ that runs to my amps? Not wanting to pay hundred but it looks like I might have to.

only the emblem with the Hi Res symbol and headphone jack is plastic all the rest is Metal/Alu I bought the FC 3 now in red ,looks so awesome the FC1 I will buy in red too. Then I have 1 FC1 3 FC3 and 1 FC4. I can’t really hear a difference between FC 3 and FC4 both are awesome . I use them with iPad Pro 12,9 M2 and Philips Fidelio X3❤️ and in some days with the Meze 109 Pro

Which headphones are the best under 25 dollars? I watched some reviews and openheart Resin look good, are there any better options?
@VortexReviews13 жыл бұрын
There are a few good options like the KBear KS1, Tin T1 Plus, Blon 01, Blon 03, Openheart is good but a bit too bassy.
