REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
Is it the shallow cups or the clamping force? For me, the initial clamping force was too much for my head size, but after I pulled the cups apart and stretched the headband, these instantly became one of the most comfortable headphones I've worn. If your problem is the former, you can try...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
After about 48 hours of burn in, the highs did calm down for me, but the FA-011s are still distinctively V shaped. I found these headphones especially good with gaming. I've been playing L4D2 with some old college classmates and I can't believe the sound stage and the direction of gunfire...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
Sorry for the large pictures! I took an extra long lunch today to pick them up from the post office. The package was so light. I thought Dmitry had to exclude the extension cable and 1/4" adapter to meet the weight limit? They came as needed. First thing I inspected were the cups. This...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
I ordered mine on 3/25, got shipping notice on 4/2. Never received a tracking number and just came home to a missed delivery notice from USPS. I am located in California. Will have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up, but I am expecting this thread to blow up this week.- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
A family member's box of shoes via USPS was stolen off our front door today (I live a block away from a local elementary school, so there's a lot of activity on my street every weekday). My mom thinks the USPS guy stole it himself . Does anyone know if Dmitri will give us a tracking...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
Definitely not the most enthusiastic review of the FA-011s, and they kept on ragging about the brown box lol. On page 6, I think they're talking about LLF's review : "At the head-FAE is a review. In addition, he lit on the home page ." I'm also worried about the overemphasized treble. If...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
I know some of you guys are waiting for your pair of FA-011s to come. Here are images of an unboxing I found on a Russian forum: http://doctorhead.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7479&start=75 For those who just want the direct links: The box...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
With open cans you run into these two problems: 1) Your sound will leak due to the can's open design--people will hear you play Bieber, or whatever embarrassing music you listen to. 2) You will look like an alien. If #2 doesn't discourage you from taking it outside the home, then...- PooManDeluxe

REVIEW: Fischer Audio FA-011 - OFF THE DEEP END!!
LFF, thanks for the sweet review of these Russian cans! I've been a Grado fan, but have found its highs to be too harsh for the ears. Where do you rank the FA-011s if the SR-225is are a 9/10 on the harshness scale?- PooManDeluxe

"studio" headphones vs "reference" headphones
I've been meaning to ask this question as well! Very informative and valuable summary Acix! My friend has been asking for a studio headphone recommendation, and before I read this... I linked him to some Grados lol.- PooManDeluxe

soundcard + headphones for bass music/gaming?
My setup goes like this, and it's super convenient. Desktop->AUNE Amp&Dac -> RCA out -> Logitech Z-5500s Desktop->AUNE Amp&Dac -> Headphone out -> Grado SR-225is I say you ditch the sound card & get an external DAC--thats what it is anyway. I listen to a lot of club music myself, and I...- PooManDeluxe

AT ATH-ES7 vs Senn HD 555
I'd go with the ES7s for sure. But maybe you can try the blue tack mod as there are claims of having increased clarity which is something I think these portable cans lack. And the headband mod is a must if you don't want that awful clamping pressure, or look like a normal human being lol.- PooManDeluxe
