Be careful. See I know what these FX40s are. They are great. perhaps a little too great. So great after you get your taste of what the carbon nanotube drivers do for your music. Then all of a sudden you get curious about the higher end carbon nanotube earphones. And even the headphone they threw in a big old 40mm driver for. These are the gateway. Be warned. Just say it now. Say it with me. 
 
"I FHSWarrior will not be curious about a higher end more refined version of the FX40. I FHWarrior will not be interested any other JVC made product." If you said this. Then only then you can just enjoy the FX40s. Nothing more.
 
Lol. Burn in is absolutely important on these. The more burn in the better. Remember Carbon, base material for diamonds. Stiffer than any dynamic in earphone land.  A funny story. One of the guys on the HA-S500 thread was burning in his headphones and his mom for some reason ended up blasting his volume to something like 190% of max volume distorting the sound at that level. He went into his room to find the music absolutely Maxed out. He was flipping mad obviously thinking his mum ruined his new headphones.. It turned out this probably just loosened it a bit but no damage whatsoever. True story. I think normal phones and it would have done some damage. Carbon nanotubes. Seems they can take some punishment.

Lol i cant afford high end stuff anyway so i have no worries with that part. As far as the burn in, would leaving them plugged in to an AM static station and high volumes do the trick? Thats all i really have
And also, did you try the memory foam tips that ame with these? Did they make a difference to the sound?

Am static? Do any of you guys know if static will work for burn in? You have a PC. There is a link on the front page for Bjarrdkers bass drive. Turn that up and plug your FX40 into your PC. Just let it blast at a fairly loud volume and cover it or hide it in a desk so you dont have to hear it at night. and just leave it.. I don't think the foams change the sound much. For more isolation and comfort maybe.

Yeah meng, JVC is serving a total of 6 courses of these delicious carbon nanotubes for dinner this year with all different variants. Once you get a taste of that FX40 appetizer ITS GAME OVA!!!
 
Nah go try the FX40s for sure, or now the HA S400s from like lower to mid $20s, and upgrade if you want to later. Just nuts what JVC is asking for these gems. I wonder what those crazy genius have in store for us later on, since all these are considered mid- level stuff/ prices. Damn it I am SCURRRRED!!!    
 
Bring it JVC, but MY BODY IS NOT READY TBH.

Check ebay for cks99 and 1000 they are on pre-order

I am just giving you a hard time cuz you seem to buy crazy CRAZY amount of gear like every other day that's all. and you don't give us sexy looking pictures of them, cuz you claim you don't got a "camera." LoL Don't worry about it was just trolling you. 
 
But it would be nice to see some pics of all the gear you supposedly got.

Mochill is right about the preorder but. And I say BUT. @ $300 plus for the CKS1000. I am gonna be honest and say I don't know if it will be worth the price asked. The CKS99 seems to be in line but those CKS1000 better be some special earphones to be that much for bass earphones. With so much new greatness around the corner. Sony's MDR-R1, V-moda's M-100, Sennheiser Mommentum, XB900 All can be bought for around the same cost. Not to mention the Solid bass WS99 headphones which will be the same price as the earphones. Once you hit the $300 range all of a sudden you got some choices.

Yeah, those prices are crazy for some "bass" IEMs no matter how good they are.  They better be outta this world good, cuz these cheapo JVC carbon nanotubes are already so great for peanuts as compared to those new ATHs.
 
I am just lowkey jelly that's all.
