If anyone interested, my Heaven V are up for sale here.

Need more funds for Alpha Dog pre-order.


 
 
 
That's one good looking headphone! Why can't my Heaven VI look like that?

Man I really think I made a good decision here, I love these things! Actually they're not here yet but I have a reprieve on the ship date so I've still got the loaners.
 
My pair better sound like these, I don't want to hear anything about burning them in for hundreds of hours.
 
Here I am sitting at my desk with my back to my main rig, tubes are dark and the 009 is on its hanger. It's nice not to have to rip them off my head every time I want to get up and do something, I just grab the little stack and go.
 
Alex I've written the rough draft of that other thing, just need to get back and finish it!
 
I'm not saying that they're comparable, but the emotional reaction/experience is.

Here is a collection I have accumulated over the past few days. Similar theme. I hope you all enjoy them. (Edit: if you like them, please click on them, the larger versions are much better).

I've just received my Heaven V, and I have to say from an initial listen, I absolutely love them! I think I now know what all the FAD supporters have been raving about, these don't reproduce sound, they reproduce MUSIC, the euphony and harmony of the elements in the music is just magical......
 
I'll be back with full impressions soon :)

My next FAD experience after the amazing Heaven VI is the Piano Forte X "gold" :D

PF & 1601 owners: Grab this one while you can!! Or dial 0800 1601 1602 to get a free copy of the album (links below available for 24 hrs only; choose one of the two) — not the best recording of this piece —and not the most likeable music (sorry, but what can you do?)— but the 160Xs manage to extract some real music out it:

FAD really sings Japanese songs brilliantly!
And by the way, tried drums and cymbals on Heaven V. I was made to believe I was listening to dynamic driver IEM. The sound was grand and not lacking punch at all.

Glad to see almost every single 160X owner enjoyed the above track. I have to admit I was a bit surprised by the unexpected and almost overwhelming positive feedback I received. Thanks guys, you're the best!
