What is a 'high SD'? Assuming you are talking about value - I would still give it a high value rating if it has better build quality but cost $50 more. If it cost over $50 more, I'll have to rethink about its value.

I believe B2 and FXT90 have very different sound signatures?

 

FXT90 has more base quantity and impact, warmer mids and more dynamic vs B2?

 

Which is the better value?

Yes, B2 and FXT90 are totally different in sound signature. B2 is analytical while FXT90 is mid-centric. They are both really good value, it all depends on which sound you are more attractive to.

I'm surprised that you say there was not much change with burn-in. When I first tried the B2 I found them to be painfully bright. A very harsh treble sound. I was amazed how much that smoothed out after 30-50 hours.Now I find them to be a very good IEM. I still like the $39 Koss KSC75 better, especially with Kramer mods. Of course the KSC75 doesn't provide isolation.

I noticed this as well since I specifically heard a slight loss in the mid-bass (creating more of a bass body size vs actual mid-bass impact and giving more spotlight to sub-bass).  Treble did de-harshen a bit.  I'm still not sure whether or not this is due to better fit with tips or actual driver burn in.  I'm pretty sure it'd be both (nature vs nurture type of deal), but which one did what (and how much of it)?

Interesting... I found little to no burn-in for either the DBA-02 or the B2.

 

Well, that really shows that YMMV... wink_face.gif

Does anybody know of a supplier that's currently in stock in the US?

I talked to an MP4nation rep online, and he said they should be restocking in a month... They just got cleaned out due to high demand, and are waiting on a fresh batch.
