is it similar to why the Ford "Pinto" didn't sell well in Mexico  back in the day?


Peos = Farts. :D. (hope i dont get banned, mmm maybe i need to be banned, so...)

Some random conversation about my peos would be:

Som1: Yoo, man those iems are dope, do they sound good.?
Me: yea man, i got the farts and it rules, wanna hear them?
Som1: yo man, sounds awsome, i want some farts yoo
:D

So there, can someone ban me now? Please!?

for subbass??
c'mon good sir.
is that a good question?

Well, I guessed they would be on the top but there is no harm in asking

Since I don't have mine yet I try to get every bit of information I can from you guys. Call it something to pass the time

In other news: my MH1Cs are on their way and I should have them in a couple of hours. Guess I dust off my trusty Cowon X5 to use it as a burn-in station. That should have enough power ^^

Carbon nantubes has some of the best sub bass on all their headphones and you guys know. I threw on all these on my 5 belkin splitter A/B/C/D/F test

I threw on the FAD iiis in here too just for kicks
 
Tested with some Lil wayne,
FADs came out on top for sub bass. Then the FX40 but very close was the MH1C. Sub bass is not as textured or as tight sounding a bit boomy actually compared to the FX40 but sub bass has fullness and good presence..These do have more bass than the XBA-3. Both in mid and sub bass. It was very close between the XBA-3 and the TF10. The XBA-3s seem to be a bit harder to drive so I had to volume match. Both are very similar in sub bass quantity. There is no question which one has the better overall cohesive sound in the bass region but the TF10 came very close in quantity. Almost a wash actually. .
 
So it was Adagio III> FX40>=MH1C>XBA-3>=TF10s
 
I haven't test compared them yet but I suspect the Adagio III to have a very similar sub bass presence as the CKS77.

wow, nice pic. 5 way belkin splitter, you better have an amp going.
I am excited to hear the xba-3, ever since i moved on from the tf10 nothing could make that standard.
I may already be time get rid of my R1 as well, probably try the FS before returning. They are very soft, mellow sounding phones. cant justify keeping them. Where would you put them on that ladder? Though i dont think the R1 has the same definition as the rest, i believe it has more bass than the FX40.

My XBA-3. Mash all over the TF10s in sound..Seriously..To me the TF10 never got love from me but I was curious to hear why these had such a big following. I can understand why people like the sound but to me they sound artificial and hollow at the same time. These are the reason why I never tried other BAs. They turned me off much but I keep them to remind me how they sound.
 
Believe me if you end up getting the XBA-3s you will forget the TF10s. Now for the R1s. Mines are gone already but by memory I think you are correct. Those will have very similar bass end as the Adagio IIIs.

In hype comparison,
These MH1Cs are getting so much more love than the R1s and FX31's!
I guess they never even competed?
I don't know I actually don't have any IEMs with me,
I'm waiting on arrival...
 
I was just wondering (to keep me ticking over till I get them),
How does the MH1C compare to the FX31?
Sorry if this has been asked before, 
I didn't really see much about the FX31...

Thanks

Hey didn't you buy the ATH CKM 500s? I remember you picked that over the ATH CKS77s and you said you like it a lot or something like that.....

Son i hope you meant to say $18 dollars, you got robbed if you paid $180 for it, although that might be their actually sound worth haha but still........
 
Dsnuts is the one that started the CKM500 thread, but I wasn't even talking about that...... think you read it wrong.

Yea I think you did get ripped off if you paid that MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Oh and @sfwalcer,
I did get those CKM500s, and they were great at first!
Fitting Issues did it for me, I just couldn't bare it.
That and the fact that, they weren't for me. I mean sound is all about preference, I'm not trying to put down the IEM's its just, well they weren't something I would see myself listening to as much as I had listened to my FX101's,
Now those things I cherished and used so much. Leading to them breaking.
I ended up selling them to one of my audiophile friends, who was more than happy to take it off my hands.
All in all, I don't really regret it, but at least I had the experience,
This is ages ago now, so I can't quite remember the sound.
