What kind of rig are you using yourself?
I tried them all first at jaben Singapore before taking the plunge for the PF X - G. I am certain it has the most extension on both frequency ends compared to the other PF series. You could try first at jaben Hong Kong?
Hi ace8888, could you describe more about the PFXG extension on both ends compared with other PF series? Are you referring to the 1601 or 1602 PF? I'm using the 1602 PF IX and thinking about changing to the X. I had a chance for a quick listen and found acoustic instruments like violin more involving.
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm referring to the 1602 PF X. what i mean by more extension is, like cymbals and drums i can feel that they are more tactile and less rolled off just a little bit compared to the other 2 PFs, and agreed, woman's vocal, violin, and flute is more involving / euphonic? I am not good in describing these audiophile terms. And the PF X, I find is more versatile for other genres as well.
Maybe others like MF could chime in as I believe she has both PF X and PF IX?
hmm, interesting.
I suppose I will have to listen for myself to see. I have a Tokyo trip coming up next month. Any suggestions where I might be able to find a place to try out the X? I am aware of e-earphone shop already. I'm wondering if there are any other places to visit?
I strongly recommend Dynamic Audio in Akihabara. They have a huge range of earphones and headphones. The sales persons are happy to let you sit and listen for long periods without interference. They should have most of the current FAD models available for demo. The shop is about 7 minutes walk from Akihabara train Stn. Here is the link to the shop website:

You can also try Yodobashi electronic Dept store in Akihabara. They should also have the full range of FADs. However one cant sit and listen, and its rather noisy as well.
Happy listening!
