I just got a pair of m50x and wasn't very pleased with the sound at first. Although the quality of the sound was amazing it was too quiet from my phone. After pluging it in my laptop they became a lot more loud, even hurting my ears at max volume. The bass wasn't enough so I tweaked it with an eq (+8db on 100hz and +5db below 150hz, I don't know if thats too much) and now its fine. My question is if I get a Fiio A1 dac will listening from my phone be the same or even better than my laptop and will it be able to enhance the bass slightly more? Thanks in advance

The A1 is just a amp and not a dac or dac/amp. As for being better don’t know as the A1 only has 78 mW @ 16 ohms so not real powerful but I would say it will be louder out of your phone .

I didnt notice it wasnt a dac amp. Since im kind of low on money is this a good product https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32833...il&spm=a2g0n.store_home.productList_2653535.0 and will it sound better with it?

I was going to suggest the FiiO K1.

Thanks for the suggestion, it seems perfect. What changes in audio quality should I expect compared to my laptop?

Oops, The FiiO K1 suggestion was for the laptop only, my brain did not realize you were try to fix an issue with the phone.
Also the FiiO A1 is a headphone amplifier only, it's not a DAC.

So is the bluetooth one a good option and are there any cheaper options?
