OK, non headphone purchase, my main rig preamp, Krell KSL, bit the dust. Repair more than it was worth anymore. Called a local dealer, had a Peachtree Gread Pre, hybrid tube/solid state preamp with good internal 24/192 DA converter, list $3500, was able to get demo for about $2000. Listening to All Time Low "Nothing Personal", can't stop dancing, think I'll keep it (got 30 days to return if need be). The Absolute Sounds recommended it, for those keeping track. As it is discontinued, may be able to find good deals if one is looking for something like this.

Preliminary, out of box H3 vs JVC Woodie, really different presentations, almost like the old tube vs solid state electronic descriptions. JVC 3D, lush, visceral, tube like, Sony open, detailed, smooth, nothing calls attention to itself, but lots there. More later...

  So, what about these new JVC tips with the perforations? All these new FX850 owners and no mention of them and how they sound Unless I missed it. Anybody tested them out on their various phones and see how they rank? Gimmick or does for the sound what they say?

Ya there is something to this. These are some of the widest tips I have seen for any earphones as they match up with the wide nozzle of the earphones. The perforations are spiral on the insides of the new tips.  I think it just channels the sound to be more open sounding perhaps.. I did try UE tips which actually sounds real nice on the phones as well but not as open sounding as the stock tips.

Here's some pics of the tips inside out and the nozzle shape of the iem itself.

Off topic.. This game launches tomorrow. So stoked!
 Can't wait!!

The wood, imo, is nicely understated, doesn't jump out, classy looking.

Damn you EA. Titanfall should have been multiplatform... *rage*

Picked up my copy for $32. Couldn't pass up that deal after trying the beta.

But holy 34gigs of uncompressed audio...What is that about?

 

[Dsnuts]

I have a staggering 50 gigs taken up by the game at the moment on the preload.. A lot of graphics and content is what that is. That is the size of two large block buster games definitely the largest game I have ever downloaded.

Titanfall... Meh. Tried the beta, the wall-running/parkour stuff is fun, but the Fps aspect wasn't too spectacular. I do like the powercards though lol.

I'm more excited for Dark Souls II and Watch Dogs coming in the next month or so.

Well, it's coming out for pc, so that's fine by me. Anyway, I can't really care about Titanfall with Dark Souls 2 coming out at the same time. Now that's a game I can't wait to play.

I preloaded as well and 34 of the 50 is audio. That's my point. It's ridiculously inefficient.

DS 2 is also on the top of my list. That game makes me feel like a kid with Christmas coming.

My early experience with D's is something like how this guy felt.
