Couldn't have said it better myself, Bravo!!! Was listening to my FX40s last night and it's still freaking me out on how amazing they sound, it out classes the FX101 for sure, but the FX101s are for bass lover, so I can dig.
@ Joe Bloggs or anyone with insight, can you explain to me what "driver flex" is and what it entails? Came across this term a couple of times and looked it up but the explanations were kinda unclear/ too technical, etc. Can you put it in laymen terms? Thanks in advance.
Driver flex, I just found out, is when you have *too* airtight a seal between the IEM and your ear canal, so that shifting the IEM or your jaw changes the sealed volume of the ear canal, creating a pressure imbalance between the sealed volume and the outside, pressing the driver off its neutral position. Symptoms I hear include the driver making a crinkling sound and, if the pressure difference remains continuous, everything sounding like it's underwater.
In other news, I can't be sure how much of the difference I'm hearing can be attributed to sealing the sound hole and how much to changing up from small to medium tips.
Thanks you'll for that lesson on "driver flex", getting schooled by head-fi one term at a time.
Yup ! ...it's like you went swimming and got water in your ear canals, when you tilt your head and there a kinda poping sound in your head.
Actually almost all IEMs will have a certain amount of driver flex if they have a good seal and you push them in deep and hard enough.
LoL, this guy. Makes me wanna bow down to your enjoyment of these 40s, my love for these 40s are NOT WORTHY compared to yours!!! :tongue_smile:
Wait LoL, I though having/ experiencing driver flex was a "bad" thing and should be avoided no? But from what you are saying that "popping" sound as I insert my IEMs means I got a really good seal, hence would get the best isolation/ sound no? So isn't driver flex a good thing then??? Does having a too air tight of a seal really affect the drivers of the IEM, seems kinda strange cuz when there is a popping sound after I insert my IEMs it's indicative of the best seal/ sound for me hmmm.......MIND BLOWN. LoL
I guess the less I know the better ha, ignorance is really bliss heeeee.
