Headphoneus Supremus
Pros: overall style, design, build quality, sound
Cons: none for the price
Fostex - definitely is one of the best manufacturer's in terms of price/quality balance.
This headphones, they've kindly provided me for review - is also from this category.

Very nicely designed, built and packaged, this headphones also gives quite pleasant sound. I'm lacking highs a bit, but everything other is more the OK.

Add nice sit and affordable price, and you've got nice deal.

Headphoneus Supremus
Pros: rich packaging, build quality, price, design
Cons: lacking bass sometimes, narrow scene
First of all I have to mention overall packaging and design. They're looking extremely rich.

Earphones themselves also looks great and unusual.

As for sound quality - I'd say that it's OK for the money asked for them. Sound is clear, with nice mids and height. Sometimes bass lacked punch, but it depends on recoding mastering.

So money/value - it's a good choice.

Headphoneus Supremus
Pros: design, rich view, nice clear mids and highs
Cons: sometimes lacks a little bass
First of all, I'd like to mention overall view of this headphones, it's really stylish.

I've listened to them with Fiio E6.

Without burn-in, their sound IMO is extremely owerbrighten, but after 20-25 hours it's become more straight and normal.

I think this headphones sounds good for vocals, instrumentals and classical music, due to nice airy highs and mids.

On some rock songs they're lacking bass a little, but I'm not a bass head, so most of times it's OK for me.

Headphoneus Supremus
Pros: good sound, small size, long battery life, nice design, good EQ
Cons: maybe it would be better in metal
Nice successor of famous Fiio E5. Totally redesigned. Now it's all plastic, but weight reduced about 2 times. And it doesn't looking like iPod Shuffle now. 
Also now it have more flexible EQ, able not only boost bass, but do more work.
 
Combinig with steal-like price and nice overall design - it still have outstanding sound, as E5 does.
So it's really worth buying option.

Interesting Amp.
But personally I really did not like the E5 because it produces a LOT of background static that grows a lot louder when upping the volume. This problem seems to be typical because many reviewers write about it.
I really hope they fixed this by using different hardware, then it might be a great little amp

I've listened E6 with lots of headphones (Superlux 668B, Mee A151, Mee CC51, Woodes Vintage) on highest volume (risking my ears ), but I didn't find any noticable noise or static.

Pros: quality, price, design, controls, durability
Cons: none
[size=10pt]Main feature of Fiio E7 - it's multi-purpose usage possibilities. USB DAC and portable headphone amp in one compact and small body. [/size][size=medium][/size]
[size=medium][/size]
[size=10pt]Specially I'd like to mention following:[/size]
[size=medium]
  1. [size=11pt] [size=10pt]Design. It's really nice and stylish[/size][/size]
  2. [size=11pt] [size=10pt]Long operation on one charge[/size][/size]
  3. [size=11pt] [size=10pt]Perfect sound (really like it)[/size][/size]
  4. [size=11pt] [size=10pt]Good control[/size][/size]
[/size] [size=medium][/size]
[size=medium][/size]
[size=10pt]I'm actually using E7 in two ways. First, like a portable amp for my iPod Nano, together with Mee A151 and Grado SR125i. But I think I'll use Fiio E6 now for that, it's much more portable, but sound really good (little worth then E7). [/size][size=medium][/size]
[size=10pt]Second usage - I'm using it together with my MacBook Pro with perfect player Decibel. When used in hog mode - E7 sounds much better then built-in audio-card, especially with Grados. [/size][size=medium][/size]
[size=medium][/size]
[size=10pt]Also E7 gives nice bass boost with EQ. It doesn't trash sound like all software EQ does, but gives very nice and soft impact for bass and lower mids. It's especially noticeable on brass.[/size][size=medium][/size]
[size=medium][/size]
[size=10pt]So cost-wise, this DAC/amp is outstanding.[/size]

why do you use them with the A151, does it help bring out the treble?

I've used it with A151 mainly for test purposes. Yes, it's normalizing treble a bit, but for me A151's treble was good even without it.
