    [REVIEW] Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H3 - Form over Function?

      Pleasure, thanks for reading!     Read the review, maybe listen to them and judge them for yourself. Good is rather arbitrary when my good is most likely different to yours...     Designed in Denmark; Made in China (like pretty much everything else).

    [REVIEW] Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H3 - Form over Function?

    Both have what can be described as an angled nozzle and therefore a semi in-ear design, which if they fit the ear properly are quite comfortable. If you had no problems with the H3, I don't imagine you will have any problems with the FXT-90 as both are quite small and light. One thing to note...

    [REVIEW] Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H3 - Form over Function?

    Thanks for reading and the feedback! It's a shame the H3 will never gain much attention around here simply because of brand and price (as can be seen by the number of views for this thread...)

    [REVIEW] Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H3 - Form over Function?

    Let's just get this out of the way – yes...I do like my B&O gear. Can’t afford most of them, but I’ve been fortunate to come across some that I can. Their earphone/headphone range is one area that is *somewhat* accessible. I have a the A8 earphones, and had the Form 2. Their loudspeaker range...

    Final Audio Design Impressions and Discussion Thread

      Quote:   I know this is digging back through the thread a little bit, but I thought I might share my 2 cents on these two. I own the M2, and I heard the M1 for a brief time. Comparing these 2 are actually quite difficult unless you own both, mainly because the sound changes as the...

    Help with warranty please --- GD AudioBase

    Like you guys here, I purchased my DBAs (amongst a handful of other FA earphones) from Dmitry at gd-audiobase, though through eBay before he setup the other website.   Also like you guys, I had the channel-imbalance issue. In my instance, once I told him about the issue, I sent the earphones...

    My review of the Hisound Crystal and Live

    Hmm, these seem to have the same design/oem as the Fischer Audio FA-990. I wonder how they compare considering the prices are quite a bit different...(when the FA-990s were still around that it...)

    Review: Yamaha EPH-50

    These hiss no more than similar earphones I have, so I didn't think it important to make mention.       Quote:   I'm thinking you have yourself a walkman of some kind? They have been known to be quite noisy when nothing is playing through it (I know, I own one) so, easy to drive...

    Jays launching seven new products Spring 2010 - incl. x-JAYS quadro armature universal IEM

      Quote: Hmm, interesting...so they have no intention of moving them into a different housing then? I was expecting something a little more unique for what would probably their flagship. If so, it's probably not unreasonable the sound to change slightly again, but from what you've...

    Fischer Audio FA-911 Sledgehammer Review

    Thanks and Great review!   Have had one of these for several months now, and fully agree with the things you mentioned. Though I have to say, I really didn't like the standard tips that came with these. And these seem to be a newer version, the cables look to be a bit thicker than the ones I...

    Fischer Audio Genesis/Falcon - First Impressions - World first

    From what is written, it sounds like the Falcons are closer to the Silver Bullets in presentation.

    s+q Jays combined, reshelled - r-Jays custom IEM by Rooth Labs (updated with impressions)

    You're not wrong there. Remoulding them will definitely give you a better fit, but not necessarily improve the sound, so unless your q-Jays were broken, it may not be worthwhile, and even then it might be less expensive to just buy a new pair and get the q-Jays custom tips for it. I only took...

    s+q Jays combined, reshelled - r-Jays custom IEM by Rooth Labs (updated with impressions)

    Can't say it was cheap, combining the earphones, reshelling cost me $359US with shipping back. $418 with the included cable.     Quote:

    s+q Jays combined, reshelled - r-Jays custom IEM by Rooth Labs (updated with impressions)

      The s-Jays from Jays are one of my favourite earphones. They are, apparently, the world's first earphone built around the Knowles' SR armature, which was meant to bring to the table, a compromise between a dynamic driver and a balanced armature driver. What transpired was an earphone which...

    Review: Fischer Audio Daleth & A'Leph

      Quote: They're airy, but I think spacious and laid back might be better to describe them. Nothing really sounds forward but the bass and the lower-mids are still where the bias is. Amping them will give it that little bit extra and  makes it sound mildly fuller as well. Also takes...

    Review: Fischer Audio Daleth & A'Leph

    Quote: @ zest, if you're looking at FA for something like that, then the Enigma is one that is worth considering as well. From my comparisons, it sounds a lot like the SB but because it is narrower, everything is a little bit more forward and concentrated. I think I have a review here...

    Review: Fischer Audio Daleth & A'Leph

    Quote: Do you mean in terms of sound? The SBs are very spacious and airy. Bass is a bit slow, but has good impact and control, mids are not quite recessed and along with the treble, while while not particularly forward either, they do carry a good amount of detail and demonstrate good...
