RA2 uses two 9V batteries, it is the RAplus that uses one 9V battery.

 
thanks for the clarification.
 
 i guess i would have to compare to a RA plus
 
unless bMac makes a 2x 9v design with more output power @irgunawan

btw, my $2 Blackberry earbuds sound almost as good (identical sound signature) to my friends Cygnus.... What?
maybe i need to recable one of these...
 
What cable do you guys get for IEM/earbud cabling, those of you who do, btw?

Did a bit of testing against the TY Hi-Z and Tomahawk. It's warmer than both of them, more bass, slightly recessed voices (but nothing like the SeaHf). Missing out on the airiness of the Tomahawk. Still smooth and enjoyable - more so for electronic music than vocals. This is all with full foam on all of them. Something tells me the Faaeal could benefit from donuts or the Monk+ thin foam (naked seem slightly too bright for me). Take all I say with a huge pinch of salt though, not very experienced at describing sound. Only thing I can say for sure is that I enjoy them : )

 
 
thyanks. appreciated. mine will be here on Monday, can't wait to test them out :)

You could keep a look at Ebay Germany or UK. I recently bought a pair of OMX980 (earhook version) from Ebay UK for only around £75 with shipping. According to the seller they were returns. A few years ago I bought a pair of MX980 for around €80 on Ebay Germany after my pair that I bought in Sweden broke and I got the money back after returning them. Had no doubts of any of them being fake. But perhaps you should think twice before buying from Asia...


Thanks for this. I'll have a look. I really do want to see how these sound.
