The C5 probably doesn't go lower as it might just be emphasized more.

 

How do I know it goes down to 10Hz? Because you FEEL it. Anything below 20Hz is technically not audible but you can feel it. I know it goes down to 10Hz because I played a 10Hz tone (the lowest tone I use) and I could feel the vibration. I didn't try 9Hz because I don't use a 9hz tone for test purposes. I know it starts rolling off because the 10Hz tone was every so slightly lower in volume than the 11Hz tone.

 

FWIW, I do not exaggerate and I try to be as unbiased in my reviews as possible without breaking any rules.

 

Many a company has sent me a headphone/amp/IEM/etc and I have chosen to not review them because I don't like them.

 

As for Paradox v C4...apples and oranges. One is full sized, closed orthodynamic and the other is a CIEM. When I go portable...I reach for the C4 without delay.

Hi guys, I've also ordered a pair of C4's based on LFF's impressions. Over here in Europe, the C4's are about the same price as a pair of HE-500, and something like 60% of a pair of LCD-2's (not kidding), so it's kind of a no-brainer.

 

Like other have said too, David really has been very helpful in ordering. It's great to see a startup with great customer service from the beginning.

 

This hobby really involves a lot of waiting for stuff I order... :)

Awesome!

 

Congrats Skogman! If you like a neutral, accurate sound, the C4 is bound to impress!!!!

Bugger.

 

And I was all set on waiting to hear about the 1964 V6s.........

 

How would these compare to a 8.A?

Hi Rakan,

 

Very nice. Can you compare C4 to any universal IEMs for the soundstage?

Congrats!  I have been considering the C4's also given the great review.

 

Since Frogbeats is just starting out with customs, how is the build quality?

 

Comparisons will be great.  Especially with the 334.

A comparison with the PFE232 and Heir 4A.i would be greatly appreciated. biggrin.gif

Thanks Rakan.  I was going to bring up packaging, but left if out.  It is good to know.  If build quality > UM, that is a plus.

I will let you know when i have a little more time with them and take my TG334! and Heir 4ai back for A/B comparison but if we talk about the soundstage and imaging, i think that the C4 is much better than all of the IEMs that i have owned which include UM Mage, IE8, Shure SE530PTH, W4, Phonak 232, Fi 10, Heir 4Ai and even my favorite FitEar To Go 334!. As LFF said, this thing images like crazy, which makes classical, new age and instrumental music feel so real.

Now that's some statement. Waiting for more comparisons.
