not my case. and just using the stock tips. and i am sensitive to high peaks. they sound just great  as they are



I agree. I switched from the Philips back to the stock tips, and I like the stock tips even more. I don't find them harsh at all.


Yeah, I also enjoy them more using the stock tips and they don't sound harsh to me either (300 hour burn in). I tried the Sony Hybrids and although the sound seems warmer and the bass slightly more impactful, they sounded too congested imo. Everything is separated better using the stock tips. I might buy the SHE3590 just to try the tips as they are only £10 here anyway ($15) and are supposed to be great bargain iem's too. It's always good to have a variety of tips I guess.

Just wanted to post a sweet price for some JVC FX3Xs. They are one hell of a nice "bass" iem. Much more refined in the treble regions and overall musicality than the FX1Xs for only like ~$20 shipped. Listening to them right now and man on man do these sound sweet. Tempted to get the newer all black and red versions, just too bad the red one in real life looks ugly as hell. :  (
 
Damn so tempting...

They seem to be the real deal in retail package and all as well. These i imagine is even more bang for the buck then the Zero Audios esp. for their low price now. Gonna make some friends buy them for sure. haha

That's not fair. You KNOW how weak I am! I'm a bit concerned that the treble might be a bit harsh, and that the bass might just be too much for me.
 
But,  this was an interesting thread.  And these reviews were pretty helpful.
 
Anyway, I figure that if Nick could convince me to get the TDK E500's, you should be allowed to convince me to get the JVC FX3X's! Besides, for $22 shipped!!

Eye on the prize, Wayne. You just ordered the VSD1. :D

Im using stock tips on the corecool v2 :), can't wait for the vsd-1 when I get back I'm going to get both version.


Could you give me a rough estimate on what you think the nozzle size might be? I'd love if the Mee Double Flange could fit on there.

That's another matter. Plus they are so manly cuz they stick out so much as well, just like those CKS1Ks so i am sure the fellas at the gym would be mighty impressed as well. hoho

I was just j/k they don't stick out that much, sorry to disappoint ya' WAYNE.
 
Anywho these for $22 shipped for me is a steal in the sound you're getting. I don't hear any harsh/bright sibilant treble whatsoever on my used set. There is great rumble to the lows with great extended highs and good mids. The overall sound is not as refined as the MH1Cs but they are more clear sounding with faster more impactful bass. They sound like a mix of the FX40s and the FX101s but with all their best traits and leans more toward the FX101s sound signature. The amount of bass on this thing matches perfectly with the rest of the sonic spectrum so no worries regarding the bass masking the rest of the sound. 
 
I bet these will destroy those lowly new TDKs of yours.

You mean "prizes" lol. I feel like dsnuts has been around, manipulating my brain and sending my buying impulses into ridiculous overdrive!
 
But yes, I have high hopes for those VSD1's! I have a feeling that they will punch way above their weight (like the Basso's), and it will be interesting to compare them all.

Watch out, or Nick is gonna KICK your ass lol!
 
We will see. We will have a TDK EI500, JVC FX3X, Vsonic VSD1 shootout! Heck, we'll throw in the Cool Audio DX210 Basso's for fun (although I'll be surprised if any of them will sound as good as them :)

Better than the Basso's? Yeah, that might be a possibility. If they are truly 80% of the SQ of the BE's, then it's a definite possibility (although I am liking the Basso's a LOT right now).

LMAO : P
 
Should be an interesting shootout, but the Vsonic is gonna come out on top for it's technical abilities and the FX3X is gonna in 3rd place for it's pretty refined fun bassy sound right behind that even more refined Zero Audio Bassos i predict. Oh and those TDK belongs in the trash bin where ALL TDKs belong.

You my friend are insane... TDK rocks! I'll be surprised if those JVC's can even compete with the $10 MT300's for crying out loud!
