JVC HA-FXZ 100/200 - Page 156

I do know one thing for certain. Overall sound tightens up tremendously from burn in. Be it the bass or any type of bloat. I have been burning my other sets recently but I am gonna return to burning in my FXZ earphones as of today..

Well mochill there is a limit to how much they change you know. Lol. It would be awesome if there was such a set of earphones that keep on improving with burn in. That would be something.

Mochiil 

How did you proceed?

500 hours of burn-in with deafening levels of bass heavy music? or just listening them at normal levels? 

I enjoying my FXZ-200 a lot through mi Iriver H140+Arrow 4G, but I miss a little bit more air in the mids and highs... only 100 hours of burn-in as such, 200 if I add the ones I have been just listening. 

Too many earphones to burn in? No problem:

Now I can continue to burn in my 200's as well as my new acquisitions, ATH-CKS1000, SONY-XBA-30's, and  TDK-IE80's.

Thank you Tenso service and Amazon Japan.

Can I also grow some extra ears??!!! LOL!!

Oh nice. You gotta let me know if them XBA-30 improve over the XBA-3s. I hear they toned down the highs a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought up the mids a bit too. For the CKS1000. You do need at least 100 hours of burn in. I use one of them belkin splitters. .I love em. Lets me burn in 5 cans at once.

which tips you using with yours?

I also had a question; I'm using a galaxy note II as my source, and also have a ibasso portable amp, but I don't have a clean line out/ digital out. Should I just burn in through my GNII without the amp? I don't want to use the ibasso in series with the preamp in my GNII, right?

I have the XBA-40's as well, bought them from Japan about three weeks ago. Let me say that the 40's are quite different to my ears from the XBA-4's. The major difference is the bass, it's real big, as in nightclub big. Yet, it doesn't overwhelm the other parts of the song. And it only kicks in when needed, such as those big club tracks. It's so big it makes one feel as if they are IN THE CLUB, with that big bass sound that you can feel in the bones (maybe not quite.. but you get the idea).

I'm not a bass head but, maybe because I did dj at a nightclub for a decade, I do appreciate that type of sound done right with earphones and headphones. 

One of the small things I felt that was impeding my enjoyment and desire to listen to the FXZ200 (it all adds up) was how I could not keep the cord, with the over-ear insertion method, from falling off my ear. If not remedied, this would eventually lead to the compromise of my ear tip insertion. So I added a simple, but relevant item to my portable setup. I added the PFE232 ear guide (sold separately) and it has made a nice difference. These specific ear guides are slightly pricey, but I prefer the black color over the cheaper traditional clear guides.

Those look nice..

Thanks

An easy way to find them without me citing one vendor is to search for something along the lines of: Phonak Audeo Replacment Ear Guides
