Greetings!   Prelude So I found myself mysteriously drawn into the headphone business a couple months ago, and got myself a first pair of "decent" fullsize headphone according to a head-fi-er's advice --- the fischer fa-003 --- it was praised for its unmatched neutrality and soundstage at its...

Hey everyone,   I don't know if this has already been posted, but Lauren Dragen over at The Wirecutter did the dirty work for us to find the cheapest good quality in-ear headphone.   She considered 150 different models of in-ear headphones and earbuds, testing 40 of the best, and then...

So apparently the HM5 is a re-brand of the FA-003 (if you thought the NEAR-CLONE build was too subtle..), and I've been hearing that these headphones sound as identical to each other as they look. Other forum users state that the drivers between the two are different:   Quote from MP4 Forum...

Well the bug bit me and I have been a bit of a Fischer guy since I first laid eyes on the FA-002W's a couple of years ago. Luckily this deployment I had the ability to pick up a set of those and after that I decided to grab some of their other sets as well.   A little about me, I am...

Hello fine people of head fi, I need you to aid me in this decision, I can't decide which one is better; a DT 990 or a FA-003 (Lindy's model). the DT 990 pro's would cost a   little more, but I like the idea of them having a "theater like" sound, while I have had really neutral headphones ...

Choo Choo is way off the track now.  Lets get it back on track.   So I was checking on my order for the Schiit Asgard on my work computer (slightly against the rules, but I had to know) and a buddy walked over and said, "What kind a schiit is that your looking at? That is not work...

Hi guys   Im an electronic music producer making breaks, techno, house and the like.  I use KRK VXT8's in my studio and love them.   I am going to live in bangkok, and cant transport my monitors there, so Im looking for seom very good headphones.  I understand that no headphones will...

Hello, everyone I just bought a pair of audio technica M50's and am quite happy with them except for one thing. In order to get full detail out of my music I need to crank to volume up to bring out the mids. While I know that many people prefer loud music, I like to music as quietly as...

Hey guys,   I'm having trouble deciding between the four headphones listed in the title. I've previously owned and loved a pair of HD555s, and if they were closed I would still have them. However, I can't live with open headphones, and need some isolation. My only current listening device is...

Hey there folks. I am looking for some advice on a USB Amp / DAC setup to connect the MacBook Air with the FA-003s.   1: Do these HPs need an amp or just a DAC? 2: Are all USB Amp / DACs Apple compatible? 3: The Air has limited ports, so it'd have to be USB accessible. 4: The Air is...

what do i need to make a new fa-003 cable? i'm not sure what type of plug goes into the headphones

Folks,   I just got a pair of Fischer Audio FA-003 headphones and i love them.  Is the connection cable on then proprietary? I need just a another foot so i'm wondering if i can get an after market replacement for them. I could probably get an extension cable for them, but i'd rather just a...

Hi All,   Looking for an amp to pair with the Fischer Audio FA-002w or the FA-003.   Since these are pretty neutral headphones, and I want to keep it that way, I would like a neutral amp. No forward highs/mids/lows.   Been looking at the E9/E7 combination. The E7 detachment appeals...

Hallo, I think I might need a DAC. I've read and search around and I usually dont start threads asking about recommendations, there are already too many around, but the options are overwhelming, every company seems to have a few DACs out.   My desktop rig consist in my humble PC, USb to...

Hi everyone.   After 5 years of loitering around the portable & IEM thread I got the urge for some over the head cans. Having spent the last two or three months going through thread after thread, drawing up lists, striking off cans and re-adding others I came to a decision that the Fischer...

Well, In my search for a new pair of headphones, I stumbled across these 2 headphones and went "they're awfully similar, aren't they?" (Pics: http://www.fischeraudio.com/card.php?id=116 http://www.lindy.co.uk/premium-hi-fi-headphones/20378.html) Even a worker of LINDY said this: "As far as...

Hi guys,   So I want to make an amp for my Fischer Audio FA-003s and I'm not sure which amp to build. This would be my first amp but I have built a cmoy and am pretty confident about my soldering and wiring abilities. I have been researching the DIY amps and I am currently thinking about...

Hey there, I recently bought my FA-003 and I feel that I wish to invest in a portable amp for it. Thing is, I have exactly 0 experience with amps. All I have to contain it in is my pockets and a bag (or the air between my source and the headphones, but I would think that the weight of the...

Heya, I got the Fischer Audio FA-003 headphones, but I think the cable is a bit too long. It's removable by default, so it should be easy to replace without tinkering too much (I'm not good at DIY, so I'm glad). A cable of about 1.5-2meters would be preferred, and it should be of a pretty...

Do the FA-003s need an amp if driven from an ipod touch 4g?   Are they uncomfortable if someone is wearing relatively thin glasses and glasses in general?

Hi guys,     I started a new thread asking about DIY amps for the Fischer Audio FA-003's on the headphone amplifier thread but I didn't get many responses so I thought that I would post here. I was wondering what would be a good amp to build for the FA-003's. I've looked up a couple amps...

Hey all!!   I just received from frogbeats, the new FA-003 update. From what I can say now, they're quite good, good detail and big soundstage (atleast for a closed set). The bass packs the right amount of punch, no bleeding into mids, and vocals sound amazing (right now Queen FLAC's). They...

Just got the Ultrasones from Amazon ($150) .. they're pretty great. But a friend turned me onto the Fischer Audio FA-003s -- I don't have the chance to try them on, so I'd be buying them sight unseen. Any insight would be great! Thanks :)
