What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The audio quality is great and the bass boost is perfect. The gain and bass boosts actually add to the music without causing unwanted distortion. Dynamic range and separation are much more pronounced.

Highlights
Quality
Also the bass boost does pack a punch without ruining the quality
Build quality is solid too the dial is super satisfying and the bassgain switches are a nice touch
These can barely power my dt 990 250 ohms but can still being ok sounding with the gain switch
It does not imprve a lot on sound quality for sony mdr1a
Packaging/appearance
The issue with fiio e10k was that it had a serious leftright volume imbalance
Competitiveness
Actually a good upgrade from the previous model e10k in terms of sound quality and features
Bought these for my first highend headphones the hd660s and works and sounds great
This new fiio k3 reproduces that same effect as well but leftright volume is perfectly balanced
I use some kz zsn pro iems or sony xm4s and they both sound amazing
