(ordered from BuyJapan.com, same as than Kakakakukka whatever site, haven't compared to Tenso in terms of cost, but really easy to order, and really quick delivery, think I ordered it early in the week, didn't expect them for a while).

Don't you mean BuySmartJapan.com ?

You're right, of course, rushed typo, did like using them
Woodies sound impressive out of the box, bass is, like, wow, nice open mids, treble a bit tizzy imo, needs the kazillion hour burn in, I'm sure, but I;m gonna listen a bit today before setting it up on the burn-baby-burn unit

Sometimes it's just amazing how quick Japan's shipping can be! Shipped out March 7, here in Chicago today, March 8. Oh, I'm talking about the Fx850.

Congrats ericp. Danny got his too yesterday which was surprising as he ordered after you did. Enjoy them FX850s.

Wood party about to take off ya'll. Best not to read the FX850 thread soon if you don't plan on spending to get a woody

So, what about these new JVC tips with the perforations? All these new FX850 owners and no mention of them and how they sound Unless I missed it. Anybody tested them out on their various phones and see how they rank? Gimmick or does for the sound what they say?

More opening impressions, haven't listened more, but driving somewhere (not at the wheel)...they remind me on 1st listen of the AT 1k, immediately the sound jumps out at you, 3D, holographic. Bass is crazy (as my daughter would say), round plentiful, but don't seem to impinge on the mids. Nice case, a bit large, closes with magnet (like AT - think the AT comparisons are a coincidence?). Wood body is pretty, haven't had a chance to play with tips yet.

Thanks buddy. Yeah, I ordered before DannyBai then I cancelled. The first merchant said he wouldn't get the earphone in after the 12th (was a little over $10 cheaper). So I just reordered like Tuesday or Wednesday. That was Jimmy Johns fast!

I won't have them in ears though until probably Monday. I have to pick them up from the gig.

So this is a HP-50, H3, AS-2, and V weekend. Might squeeze in the fantastic Doppio.

Good observation I think the CKS1K does share some similarities but unfortunately the CKS1Ks are outclassed in every way just about exept for depth perhaps. The sound stage is actually larger on the FX850s. Balanced better, tonally much more correct with better definition, more spacial qualities, a much higher end treble and timbre once burned in correct..CKS1KS have somewhat of an off tonality in the mids compared to the more natural tonality of the FX850.( Comparing to a well burned in FX850 that is.)
 
I would burn the FX850. Gazillion hours.. Actually around 80-100hours and they finalize in their sound signature any extra has minimal change.( Debatable if the cable needs the extra run in time)  Burn in definitely needed.
 
Sound will tighten with better clarity with fantastic definition. Tighter bass, Mids become much more focused, treble becomes more dynamic..Will improve in every way possible actually from open listen.
