Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread
Jan 20, 2017 at 6:50 PM Post #5,926 of 6,413
I've had my Harmony's for about a month now and I don't know what ya'll are talking about with the MMCX connectors. This things are tight, almost impossible to remove the cable from the earpiece. BTW my take on them is that the high's are a little rolled off but pleasantly so. The mid's are spot on in my opinion and the low's are pleasantly beefy but tight. I'd say overall they're an almost neutral sounding IEM with a little extra bass, but not too much.

Instrument separation when I'm using them as my stage/practice IEM is nothing short of phenomenal. Great purchase for me but now it has me thinking about if these are that good, what was changed in the FXA7, and what other high end universal IEM's might sound as good or better. I'm a big fan of Aurisonic's/Fender IEM's now though...
Actually many thought the Harmony had too much Treble. The new version is a little more balanced but pretty much the same sound. I myself had no issues with its connectors but I never changed its cables. I fear that type of connection since experiencing multiple issue with Shure and Westone iems.

I have a pair of Aurisonics IEMS that I have been trying to get warranty repaired since summer. I have sent it in to Fender and received it back a few weeks later without the issue being resolved. 
 
I emailed their warranty guy about the problem again, and they are now completely unresponsive. Does anybody know who I should contact or what to do next? It's been over 6 months since I've had my earphones working.

From my understanding , as far as things such as warranty , repairing and email enquiries . Andy is that guy we're going to negotiate with , there's no one else , unless you know Dale lott .
And do note a fact , Andy is a one man show .
If he's not responding , Maybe he's too busy with other stuff and overlook things .
What you can do now is keep bombard him with all your mail till he responds .
My experience is , he never stop short of replying .

I had issues with the 2-pin connectors on both ASG1.0 and ASG2.0, and strangely enough, I never had any issue with MMCX connectors (on the IEM side, because cheap MMCX cables tend to get loose male connectors over time).

I wouldn't generalize about connectors intrinsic quality. They can all have issues sometimes.

And to be fair, both demo Fender IEM I've tried in Singapore (FXA6 and FXA7) both had awful built quality (poor paint job) and faulty connectors. Their choice to make the connectors have free rotation means that they're looser from the start and still get looser with time, leading to disconnections very fast.
Doesn't exactly want to make you buy them... at least when compared to older Aurisonics models.

On a more musical note, if you're after the insane bass of the glorious Aurisonics ASG2.0 / 2.5, the Rose Cappuccinos MK2 will provide just that, along with cleaner mids/treble. And this is without the big bass invading the lower mids (like when using the AK T8iE for example).
As a bass guitar player, I had not enjoyed bass lines so much since the ASG2.0.
Could you describe the difference between the Rose Cappauccino and the AK t8ie briefly, by the way, I know what thread this is. ;p

Nobody mentioned here the new FXA9?
 
1 100 Euro(including VAT), gold plated copper nozzle(so no more breaking!! :) ), triple sound bore design.
 
Most unique is that it's not hybrid, but 6 balanced armature design!! Little confused by description, because it seems it's six way design?

The description is dodgy in your link.
 
Nozzle: beryllium copper ???
 
They should definitely stop using beryllium for audio applications, and I certainly hope it's not for the nozzle since you don't want beryllium anywhere in contact with your skin...

Hmm, the switch from a hybrid design to a full BA set.  I wonder if it'll still retain a bass heavy signature like its older brothers.  
 
In that price bracket it'll be competing with the likes of the CA Andromeda/Vega and 64 Audios' upper lineup.

Solid form seems to be on a safe side . Without the implementation of DD , It also seems likely that house signature has changed drastically from their usual emphasis on bass to ??? Ha

Not a very good news for DD fans , kind of a disappointing news to know ..

I get to demo some very expensive U12 , U8 . And I'm very much not used to those bass which were coming out from those BA . It knock hard heart thumping yes , but still it's Nothing like the bass coming out from those of asg 2.5 / 2.0 hybrid . Imo The 2.5 DD hybrid Sig is unique of its kind .

I don't know what they're thinking , but my 2 cents is , they should have continue to further update the 2.5 and have it progress it to the fenders FX series line .

agreed, dynamic drivers have more realistic impact, but BA most of the time have advantage in speed and control in fast paced music

BA sets usually have faster bass decay than dynamic drivers, but personally I prefer the timbre of DD bass to BA bass.
