Guess I was one of those unlucky ones that got raw drivers with zero factory burn in on them.  YMMV but couple of days on constant full blast with heavy bass music should do the trick, max one week I guess???

 

Mines are sounding marvelous right now, it is truly crazy to hear how much they have transformed from open box to what I am hearing now. I can't get these things outta my ears at the moment. L3000.gif

 

 

I put them on a burn in last night, checked them today, and did not see much progress, so they are cooking once again.

I was expecting a lot more from these, the burn in I hope will help, so that I can fit it comfortably and actually enjoy a sound that all here are touting.

 

Three more days to go...

 Hi guys,

 

as there have been some ongoing discussions related to MH1 mods, here comes some suggestion what can be done to shape and customize the sound according to your own preference.

 

 

mod1. If you experience bass being muddy/exaggerated, try to block the vent, this is suppose to reduce the bass ~2-3dB

700

 

mod2. if you would like to improve some "airiness" try to remove foam from the tube. However without foam, overall smoothness of the treble will be affected.

700

 

mod3 If you would like to get some more presence in the mids, make a small hole (~0.2mm diameter) in the center of the filter mesh. This one require some delicate work, so be careful to not oversize the hole.  

 

700

Anyhow, these are just some of suggestions what can be done relatively easily to influence certain ranges, however i don't take any responsibilities for your actions, so do it on your own risk!L3000.gif

 

So it seems we can tune these more to our sound preference. Nice.

Yeah there was minimal change for me on the 1st 2 days or so, but on like the 4th, it begins to really shine. Keep burning these in, you are gonna get there real quick, although it might seem to take forever. LoL beerchug.gif

 

edit: those mods looks really interesting and easy, might try it if I get a 2nd set.......thanks Ds!

Hi-I had previously written that my HA-fxd80's had bitten the dust in one channel...Dug up receipt/email, Adorama had been supplier, sent them an email, they replied with a shipping label to return it the next day, Sweet. (burning in the mh1c's, do have some harshness on initial listen, maybe a tad better after about 8 hours burn in, have them hooked up now...)

This looks interesting...

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JVC-HA-FXZ100-Dynamic-Closed-Canal-Earphone-/181015827409?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item2a256253d1

 

But I am just not sure I want to take a chance on another JVC IEM. I had the FXT90 twice and just never got to where I liked the treble, had the FXD80 and liked it better but still wasn't satisfied. So I am fearful these may have the same issues in the areas that matter to me and just have monster bass. At this price point I am not sure I could "take one for the team". But for any crazy over the top JVC fans these might be your ticket to heaven...

Wait for our fearless leader Currawong to tell us what we need to hear:

Or, let dsnuts get his (or is it the fxz200) and wait for his impressions. But if you do that, give someone else your credit card (unless you want to make a spontaneous purchase LOL!).

I would hold off a bit. That is a bloated price. I am sure the prices will come down very soon. In other news,. I just found out. My state of Colorado voted to legalize the Weed. I never thought that would pass. That my friends is a discovery for me. Lol.

 

I will be able to go to a 7/11 buy a 6 pack o beer and a pack of joints. Lol!

Damn it, you guys are so lucky, even here at Cali weren't able to pass this.  God there is so much ignorance/ dis/ mis-info about hemp/ weed, it is literally like willful sophomoric ignorance.

 

So happy for you'll up there at the rocky peaks!!! beerchug.gif Now I can literally say you're smokin' something when you hype things ha.

They even interfere with medicinal dispensaries, so that is expected. Feds need to get their dirty lil' hands off and stop interfering with state rights and sovereignty, so wish you'll luck! Light one up for me brah, even though i don't even smoke. ha  popcorn.gif

I always thought Colorado would be the first but it actually happened tonight. It got passed. How Colorado state is gonna go about it I have no idea. I am pretty sure I can walk into a MMJ dispensary and just buy some as it is Legal. That is mind blowing..No card necessary. Just a driver license. Sorry guys back on topic.

 

So I am looking into something that might compliment the MH1s and all your other iems on the cheap.. Will let you guys know soon.
