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. regular_smile%20.gif

I am just lowkey jelly that's all move on move on.

I think no matter what you buy you'll always wonder what the others were like. wink.gif That's why half of us never leave here. Then, before you've tried all the first ones you thought about another five have been added to that list. The problem is Omnom there isn't a perfect sound for anyone, we often reach close though a majority of us are never satisfied.

You' best bet is saving up for one big purchase and buy IEM's that can be resold with minium loss. The testing is in the buying as all opinions and comparisons vary to much. Basically it will do your head in waiting to long. biggrin.gif

Yes I know they do not have mic input and there is extension cable for mic and buttons for mobile but I read some people having issues with skipping songs and apps acting weird like exit error itd.. when conected strait from the box so I just wanted if anyone here can plug this fx40 in any android mobile and report back (my mobiles are htc desire, sg2/sg3). But i think the problems are related to bad software manage and jack input on some phones rather then earphones itself but just wanted to check here to get info from first hand.

 

Either way I am ordering these from here (only way to get this to my country) http://www.ebay.com/itm/150912129954?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Pls tell me what do you think of this seller and if they may be fake??

 

Still didnt burn my fx201 they sound ok for now (coming from cheap earphones these are great) but I plan to burn them later with bassdrive to see the difference.I like different kind of music so I must hear these FX40 when you say they are detailed than fx201.

 

Thx again for great thread ( i read it all tongue_smile.gif and pop here every day ) and all the people helping and finding great new earphones lurking out there. And sorry for my bad english...

I didn't mean to be disrespectful and I know the situation you're in - hence the smileys... it's just that I'm familiar to your searches on this thread and you kinda remind me, when I was wanting to buy something for about a year and then just gave up on it. research is good and all, but it shouldn't take much more than say a month, or it will continue for ever :D

There is no perfect IEM, they have different sounds.

If you want a good inexpensive all-rounder then try the Yamaha EPH-100 or JVC HA-FXD80, if you want more detail at the cost of bass (and a little more money) then VSonic GR07 mk2 or Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10. Solid and popular choices everyone will agree with I imagine, and easily resold.

I'm searching for sub-bass myself. Sony MDR-XB90EX sounds dull to me, lacking in the high frequencies but amazing in the low-end. So the quest continues..... But I don't imagine I'll find one perfect IEM, although I would like a good compromise.

I haven't spent much time with the FXD80's as they're not really what I'm looking for. They're just a good sounding earphone to me, not as much detail as I'm used to (TF10) and unfortunately not as much lf bass as I now realise know is possible (XB90EX, curse them) but still a lot more than most and good punch. The JVC's seem a lot sturdier except for the cable which is a bit naff with a rubbish slider, XB90EX has a wonderful flat tangle-free cable but the earphones themselves are rather large and a bit ungainly to use.
I am disappointed with the XB90EX because it's clearly lacking, whereas the FXD80 covers most ground and is now likely to be my TF10's backup/alternate when I want to carry something smaller, less expensive or just have a change.

skip the Fx40, save your money for the FXD80 or D70.

hmmm, how much did you burn it in, if at all?  also, if you are used to something treble heavy, I can imagine anything with less treble will sound lacking :D as for me personally, I like laid back treble, and can hear up to 20 khz quite well, so maybe what is lacking for you will be more than enough for me? (at least I hope so lol )
