Fiio E3 earphone amp - White/Black with free shipping


£5.37

208°

FOUND BY: Bogroll Warlord 1 year, 1 month ago

This is a deal for all you folks who took up the Shure SE110 £24.99 offer.
I bought this little amp a couple of months back after reading about it online. I'm still amazed at the volume boost and bass improvement it gives when listening through my Shure E2C's.

It's available in white or black and comes with a 3.5mm interconnect to hook it up to your mp3 player of choice. It takes 1 AAA battery and is pretty small. Not much bigger than the battery itself.

Audiophiles may scoff and dismiss it as 'cheap chinese junk' but for £4.62 ($8.50) delivered, I seriously doubt you'll get more bang for your buck. Have a shifty at some of the forum comments and reviews about it online. It's building a bit of a cult following.

Here's a good starting point if you're interested:

I've linked to the white model on DealExtreme, a quick search for 'fiio' will show the black one too, which is the same price.

Just to clarify, the iPod Nano in the picture isn't included with the £4.62 amp.........

I posted that picture to show the size of the amp better.

Looks good. It has got good reviews also. I take it, it can be used with any earphone?
Direct link minus referral here. Looks tempting since reviews all over are good

Any earphones with 3.5mm jack plug, or earphones with an adaptor to make the jack 3.5mm.

What does 'Direct link minus referral' mean?

It means you stole this deal and didn't reference the theft. Deal Extreme should get the credit for this one.

Stealing is not cool bro. It's for the other kind.

Thing is, DealExtreme is the retailer.......

It's like saying "why did you post that on HUKD? Tesco should get the credit for that one"

I think he might be 'special'.

This will work with any headphones which have a 3.5mm jack (size of jack on an iPod).

There's no volume control, it's just plug and play. There's a small red LED which comes on when you plug your earphones in. To switch it off, all you do is unplug your earphones.

It gives a significant volume boost with better, smoother bass. It doesn't double your volume, but offers a significant increase. I have my player volume far lower when listening with the amp.

If you're using it in the gym you might want to get some sticky-backed velcro or some other solution to hold it to your iPod as it goes in-line with the headphones, as shown in the second pic I posted.

I use one of these for boosting volume on my "helmet speakers" when riding the motorbike. I've tried it with my Shure E2C earphones, but with the excess cable/components is a bit cumbersome when at the gym.
Good value for a fiver.
