Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

[RTHerringbone]

So ive done a little research for cheaper planner headphones came up with 2 brands Hifiman that Revs got and said sounded good .The other is Fiio Jason where you hiding @ ?

will there be much difference @ £200 bracket ?

Personally I'd pounce on the FiiO JT7. Superbly reviewed and just a whisker over £100 is a mad bargain. My FiiO have a superior build quality to my more expensive HIFIMAN cans and I wouldn't be surprised if the JT7s also punch above their weight for build quality too.

I do prefer the look and build of the Fiio that was my main reason for asking also i plan to get a Fiio k13. Thank for your help RT .This will be my first planner set so dont want to overspend to start with.

I think planars are just so different to dynamic drivers, so getting an inexpensive first pair to get a feel for just how different they sound makes a lot of sense. If you hate them, it won't be a financial disaster. If you love them, you can start planning the next steps up the range.

I was seriously temped by the Fiio JT7 based on looks. But when I dug into online opinions almost everyone who'd comapred them seemed to prefer sound of the hifiman.

I'll bet @RTHerringbone is right - the Fiio probably sound awesome & nearly half the price of hifiman is a sensible consideration.

Considering a JBL CD350 classic cd player, I hear that its a Arcam CD5 under the skin but at less than half the price.
