For guys that want a great sounding do it all phone w  mic device that can play all your music.Nicely balanced solid sound.  For $20 it is a no brainer if you own a Smart phone. Just tested the mic out. Works very nice on my LG optimus.

Hmmm,

Ok so is the FX101 bassier than the R1?

and the R1 is bassier than the MH1C

so that means that the MH1C is way less bassier than the FX101!
Hmm, seems like still a great buy, and I just love looking at that $20 IEM so high up in ClieOS Multi-IEM review!

But I also love my BASS!

I think they come with foam tips, try those.

Hey thanks for your reply. Thats what im wondering, both of my FX1X and F101X didnt come with any  foam tips. Only rubber tips (is that what you call?). Oh so you mean put in deeper? I'm using the biggest size that is provided as i thought i could get higher bass vibration if i use a bigger tips. Oh god, 3 size of the tips doesnt fit really well like my Marley do. 

 

Can recommend me any good tips please? And seriously the bass a bit disappointing T.T

Almost sure your sonys's has more and better bass than the fx101, skip them, no need.
Get the mh1c, seems they are better al arounders.

No, bigger tips does not mean more bass, its all about perfect seal and that depends of the inside diameter of ur ear canals, thats why 3 size tips are provided.

Start with mediums, if it doesnt work try the tips of the marleys on the jvc's. Remmber, insert deep in your ear canal.

ok before i try that out, 1 question, do you think my Marley can produce higher bass than both the FX1X and FX101? because from what i listen Marley has higher bass. But of course my Marley have been using for a year i think and the other was new.

 

Sorry should not say higher bass, more vibrating bass. (My ears will be shaking if i'm on Marley)

Which is why I am listening to and enjoying my r1's right  now... before I get my fxd70's in to spoil the r1 party lol. I've got to say though, I am really enjoying these r1's. Even though in my books it was a bit crazy to get them (let alone them and the mh1c's lol) when I have the fxd70's coming, I can see that the r1's may very well find a place in my ears when I'm at the gym. As I said in the r1 thread:

Quote:
I normally use my senn px100ii at the gym because the bass deals with outside sound well - or so I thought! I can't use them now at the gym after using the r1's. The r1's isolate very well, and the lush sound and bass is perfect for the gym environment.

 

It was funny.... when I took out the r1's out and put on the px100ii's, I couldn't believe how much noise I could hear. Absolutely zero isolation. What was I thinking? I must have been listening to radio station K.N.O.B lol! Anyway, I quickly put back in the r1's and went back to enjoying my music in a noisy environment.

 

But not only that, I am completely enjoying the sound coming out of the r1's. So no matter how much better the fxd70's might end up being, I'm pretty sure that I will still be able to enjoy the r1's at the gym, and therefore be happy with that dsnuts-taneous™  purchase.

 

For some reason, I think that I will also be happy with the mh1c purchase considering they only cost $20. Nice to have a giant-killer iem as backup :)

But if you're talking about the MH1C then thats awesome!

Wayne, you just wait for those fxd70, burn them a complete week 7x24 and get ready, also i think you sould spend in a good dac like the fire phoenix, mines should be at home these monday biggrin.gif

 

Yeah, I maybe could have resisted the r1's if I had already had my fxd70's. The slow ebay shipping from japan is costing me lol! Fortunately though as per my last post, I am not regretting the r1's at this point at all. Nor the mh1c for that matter - I'm sure they will be giant killers and will probably end up in Doc's giant killer thread.

 

As far as your fire phoenix is concerned, I can read the future, and I see that you are going to be elated with it. You will be espousing positive exuberance towards it, and because you almost have the same effect on me as dsnuts, I am afraid of you also. Therefore I will be sure not to read your fire phoenix impressions LOL!

The reason why they remind me of Pioneers is because they have big energy in the sounds like the Pioneers. The Pioneers is more of a v shaped house sound but the energy is very similar. The stage is massive and for earphones they sound like full sized headphones. Which is unique among earphones. And out of all my earphones these are really tip dependent. With a tip change I can make these sound like they have full subs in the tuning. The bass is great by the way. These definitely move a lot of air. I will post some more impressions about them. They are similar to the CKS earphones in stage both in depth and width. A different tuning. The mids are in your face too. An aggressive sound that was unexpected. It has the club in your head feel to it much like the Pioneers. They are burning in nicely on my new Bravo amp..

 

This amp is killer by the way. If anyone is thinking about trying out tube amp. Go for it. They sound amazing just with my DAPs.

Does that amp makes noise or do you got hum noise if you have it placed close to the FP or computer? I want to have it on my desktop close to the FP and my laptop.

Also, are using the stock chiness tube? What tube does it use? Thanks

It uses a Chinese tube 12Au7. There is another tube these guys use on their V3 version that is supposed to have a beefy bass end to it. This tube being more of a neutral sound. This Bravo Ocean is the companies flag ship meaning they put their best tech into this amp. Their other offerings look like this

This is the Bravo V3. Bassy tube amp with harware eQ. Only $89 or so. I thought about this one but I went for their flag ship. I like the idea of having the housing being a heat sink. Dissipates heat nicely. No hiss whatsoever. It has been running ever since this morning. I am testing out a variety of my cans and earphones and so far I have to say I am very impressed with the sound of this amp..

    RCA jacks
    you can use either of them connect to Headphone (3.5 or 6.35mm) or power amp (RCA jacks)
  • As Bravo Ocean is pure class A amp, the aluminum casing is used as heat sink, so the case is hot when working. it's normal, please dont worry.

    Q: This Amp only has only 1 Tube, how can I amplifier stereo signal?

 The 12AU7 is an amplifier tube that has been around for at least 50 years......and some good NOS 12AU7's can still be had.  You can tube roll easily with that one!  Chineese tubes are gaining in quality but you can do better, as in anything else!  Would like to hear some comparisons on this little amp vs others in this price category!  Very interesting, thanks!
