Oh look what the postman brought me, 4 weeks after ordering!
Better late then never I guess, still doesn't set a very good experience ordering anything from the US.
Which eBay seller did you buy them from? I'm sure mine arrived in around 2 weeks.

There seem to be many sellers for around $20 shipped:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_sop=15&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=ha-fx3x&LH_PrefLoc=0
Is there anything better for $20? Are these better than the COR150?
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

Do you really think the VSD1 will be better than the Zero Audio Bassos?!?
Pissssh he and what army. Oh right that cheapo TDK army of his.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.

Just know I am going to miss the UPS driver when he tries to deliver. I live in one of those apartment buildings without a service desk or place for UPS to drop packages.

Ah ok mate, weird that yours took less time to arrive.
Tried them on my SoundMAGIC E10s today and they are extremely comfortable as well as improving the overall frequency response, sadly though the shape of the E10 means I cant push them in very far. So I've gone back to using double-flanges.
Saying that, pretty sure the Hybrids will be perfect on my Carbo Tenores which will arrive next week at some point. As well as the Vsonic VSD1 which I'm planning to order over the weekend.
Yeah, same

HA! They won't even knock. If I don't have the lobby door standing wide open they'll leave a notice and scram. I've left it open with a rock but it's only time before the other tenants close it because it's going to start raining soon.

As far as my listening enjoyment is concerned, I seem to be enjoying the Basso's as much as the gr07be's. I am going to do more listening before I make any crazy proclamations (and get accused of being crazy), but that at least tells you how much I am enjoying the Basso's. I have a feeling though that the VSD1's are going to be a very pleasant surprise as well. We will see!

I personally wouldn't buy the older version with the red cables, cuz there are a lot of fakes of these around. The seller i posted seems to be the most legit and is selling from Hong Kong instead of China. I don't trust mainland sellers from China esp. if you plan to buy the older red cord versions.
These FX3Xs should sound better than the COR150s, but i am not sure. They sure are built better from the looks of those cheapo ATHs that's for sure.

It is just all assumptions but if the VSD1 indeed has like 80% of the sound of the gr07s then they SHOULD be better than the Bassos. But that crazy WAYNE is saying the bassos does it for him just like the gr07 BEs so...... haha

"Accuse" i am directly telling him to his face!!!

No, never!!! Well, maybe once or twice (or more)..

One thing that might be really handy about them is that they supposedly isolate really well. For that reason, they might be good for the noisy gym. I like the Basso's and 1K's for the gym (although with the latter it is hard to fit through the doors unless I turn my head sideways). Even though they don't isolate super well, they both have a very nice bass and full sound which can drown out the external noises even when played at moderate volume. But the more isolating FX3X's will be nice to try (assuming they don't suck lol!).

Yeah they isolate REALLY well, esp. since they are open back which is pretty shocking. I use them all the time when i play Bball indoors and it blocks out most of the noise. It gets LOUD cuz the court is packed with peps and balls flying everywhere. Was vacuuming the other day with these on and i can hardly hear the vacuum even on moderate volumes when the music is on. So i would say they are a perfect beater set of iems for on the go and gym use, as well as other noisy activities.
