    Review: Final Audio Design Piano Forte X-G

    Thanks for sharing your impressions, you convey your appreciation very nicely.   As soon as I spotted the Piano Forte series, I knew I wanted it almost despite how it would sound (knowing FAD, it couldn't be that bad). However, due to recent experiences, my biggest gripes with any IEM or OEM...

    Philips Citiscape Downtown review – Bass!!! Oh God the Bass!!! Oh look, Mids!!!

    I caught a glimpse of these at the airport in the Netherlands, and I was sort of awed by them. They were next to some Beats, or perhaps another bigger brand. They looked just right, the sound was very clear and just bouncy enough, and I happened to receive a call as I was testing them and the...

    AKG K530 Impressions

    Appreciate the review.   Would love to hear what others have to say on these (other owners that is).   - Cheers

    Help me choose good headphones

    Shure 440, nice neutral sound and comfortable. Be sure to stop by somewhere and try them out first though. Padding is soft, they are circumaural which makes for a nice experience (and it blocks out external noise to a certain extent, like keyboard typing, passing cars and such) + long cable if...

    Shure/Beats resemblance?

    Haven't tried the 240, but 440 is certainly bulkier and I would imagine a bit heavier and bigger overall than the beats.   Can't remember much in terms of sound from the Beats, just hell of bass (Achewood reference, somebody chubby me lol). But judging by experience in the field it would be...

    Shure SRH440 vs. Fostex T50RP vs Fischer Audio FA-004 - Recommendations?

    Actually, I am thinking the same thing. Sound is great, but seeing that they are studio targeted, they are bulky and heavy. Comfortwise, the size does play a part. They sit nice and snug, pads are soft, they don't clamp hard and I can't hear any hiss.   But still... something isn't...

    Shure SRH440 vs. Fostex T50RP vs Fischer Audio FA-004 - Recommendations?

    I'd love to hear if anyone has a take on the 440's vs the FA-004's. Just got the 440's in the mail, and am trying them out now. A bit worried about comfort so far, but circumaural just can't go wrong....??   Cheers.

    FA- 004, or ATH ANCA27 AND with what AMP?

    Woot. Just found the Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs', they look mad comfy.   I am spamming my own thread -_-   - Cheers

    FA- 004, or ATH ANCA27 AND with what AMP?

    Greets guys.   I'm looking for new cans, and found some that I am feeling both price- and audio wise (by way of reviews).   Both are  circumaural and look spacious.   It comes down to the Fischer-004 (replaceable cable!) or the ATH ANCA 27's. Both seem relatively comfortable...

    Looking for some nice on-ear headphones.

    People need to own up and start talking about the K 480 C, are they reall that good? Or...bad?   Cheers.

    Need Full size closed cans with detachable cable

    Hey Joel.   Thanks for the input. I did actually click my way into their site yesterday and they seemed to be pretty up to par. And like you said, I also noticed those sentiments were from way back ('05 I think) :D   Will give keep them in mind, although from a design perspective I'm not...

    Need Full size closed cans with detachable cable

    wow, someone just recommended Fostex? I recall them being butchered on here.   Of course, to each his own.   Bumping this. I was considering a Audio-Technica one, but suddenly I'm very interested in Fischers FA- 004 - they aren't getting the worst reviews either. Worried about the...

    Need Full size closed cans with detachable cable

    Seconded. More options please, am looking to replace my current device.   Saw a few in ljokers thread, but would like to see more.   Cheers,   - Chi

    Going into withdrawal, ever been there?

    Friends, hear me.   I decided to get the a-jays four, it was a mistake. And now I am going nuts. You know the feeling; you get a new set (IEM or OEM) and burn them in, exitement peaking when you put them in then it is just crud from there. This is a particularly dodgy piece of IEM's and I...

    New a-Jays Four IPhone headset

    Exactly, it's anightmare. Personally I have never had a problem with IEM's myself.   But so many problems converge on these IEM's that it's a travesty. Poor fit/weird cable combo, the weird static sound that I get on my it4 and the fact that just moving around with them is hard. All I have...

    New a-Jays Four IPhone headset

    Ok... So I got these a few days back. A day before the official UK/US launch I think (I'm in Norway)   Spent some time just enjoying the packaging (really neat 'cept for the lack of accessories) and the IEM's themselves, then let them burn in for about 40 hrs.   Sound is good, soundstage...

    Urbanears?

    Ahhhgh... can't believe I bought these on a whim while I was in Sweden (note to ...everyone: never buy headphones you have never heard of on a whim). I'm by no means qualified to judge these (have a black Plattan), as I couldn't tell you the diffference between good treble or bad treble or...

    Does anyone know anything about how these compare to the Phonak PFE121's soundwise?   - Chi
