I just recently cleaned up all the sticky tape on the baffles and replaced it with the smallest little tabs of masking tape, and wow these headphones really are something special!

I just ordered the DR150's from Jaben Australia's website for $50AUD (free shipping within Aus).   So if there's anyone still looking for these cans, jump over there and snap them up while they're still available!   http://www.jaben.com.au/collections/specials/products/gol-dr150   Also of...

I'm also interested in getting my Vsonic GR07 recabled as there appears to be a break in the cable in or around the strain relief on the headphone plug end :(   Got some Rockit R-50's today from Noisy Motel which are fantastic but my GR07's will always have a special place in my heart :p

Hey DefQon, not sure why they are that bad for you? Did you try EQ'ing similar to my settings, original sound was pure mud but EQ'ing controlled the midbass a lot better. I've since tested them on some fuzz rock and well, yeah they sucked pretty bad, I lost all definition of the low tuned...

Yeah I think the Velour pads will work a lot better than the pleather, it's a shame they didn't include them in the Digitech version from Jaycar, not that I can complain getting them @ $70 rather than ~$180 for the official Fischer ones.   I've set up the existing mesh underneath the thin...

So I've played around with them a bit more and ended up adding the foam mesh back on the driver - I find it helps keep the mid bass a little less busy. I also tweaked my EQ a bit more and I think I've got it at about 90% of what the sound used to be, considering the extra comfort this is...

Just put my spare pleather pads from my FA-003 (Digitech rebadge) and comfort is heaps better, unfortunately it has also made the cans sound a lot muddier and congested - mid bass seems to take over - seems to be due to the pads providing a better seal, whereas the cloth pads allowed the drivers...

Quote: Hey mate, I can confirm that there is a slight buzz in the line whilst the source is inactive - but I as soon as music is playing I cannot detect anything. Have you tried it with another source?  

Quote: Hey mate, sorry for the late reply - I received my Fischer FA-011's at the end of last week and have been using them solely on my Xonar ST. I'm really happy with the sound I'm getting from these cans and it appears that my sound card can drive them quite easily on the 64-300ohm...

Quote:   This could also be the reason, as these are the first headphones I've used foam tips with - and have never really been that sensitive to sibilance before. I calculated just earlier that I've probably clocked about 130hrs on these so far, so not sure if further burn in will help...

I've had my GR07's since December of last year and have loved every single thing about them, I paired them with the included foam tips right from the start and never really thought much about the sibilance that other people have mentioned so many times, that is until my foam tips became unstuck...

On the tram in Melbourne and to my amazement there is a woman sporting some ultrasone hfi780's :-o Other mention goes to the woman with some hd201's.

Quote: Hey Cajunky, thanks for that, do your ears touch the plastic inside? Did it change the sound characteristics at all?   I might give it a go if stuffing the pads fails :)   Gonna give the cans a good stretching session over some PC game cases I think :)   EDIT: Gave...

Quick update, these cans are not comfortable at all, fabric pads are quite hard, clamping force is quite hard, cups are very shallow - for my medium /average size ears they will fit in the circumference ok but touch the inner foam :(. This is ok in short listening periods but becomes painful and...

Pictures!!   Just got mine delivered today - had a very quick listen in my noisy work environment and can confidently say that I'm in love :D more impressions later on once I introduce them into their new home in my man cave :D     Build quality has been pretty well...

Quote: If it's any help, I've got an Asus Xonar ST, which I will be driving my FA-011's with (once they are delivered). I can test them on the low impedance setting - which I'm guessing is the same as a normal soundcard output as far as power goes.   If your willing to wait that is, I...

Good day for head phone sightings, caught sight of some VModa Crossfades, and some AKG K44s :-D

Further impressions with my CAL!'s are very favorable, been listening to a large selection of Post Rock and Prog Rock with the occasional Metal. Brings out quite a bit more bass quantity  from these cans as opposed to the headphone out of my Cowon J3, quality doesn't seem to be diminished at...

Saw a skater today on my way to a Japanese restaurant sporting some Shure SRH440's (or could have been 840's). I got all excited and had to tell my obviously uninterested girlfriend about them, and subsequently this thread :P

Quote: Yeah I can confirm this, was asking Billy @ NoisyMotel and he advised that it can be purchased as a separate accessory sometime in the near future, he couldn't advise the price at the time though. It looks freaking nice, will beat hanging my cans over the spare monitor on my desk :p

Still waiting on my order from NoisyMotel, they had a delay in the shipment so should expect to receive it hopefully next week sometime - upon checking the store webpage though I noticed something pretty exciting. They have recently added a photo of the carry case included with the cans.  ...

Only identifiable ones I've seen was some hipster was wearing a pair of HD555 in a crowded pub. Seen a few decent looking IEMs kicking about on public transport but nothing I can identify :(   Oh and beats are everywhere over here (Melbourne, Australia), they are basically the Ed Hardy of...

Hmmm, the imperfections make it look more natural, I think I actually prefer it with the different coloured grain in the wood.   It's funny how even the product shots show the cut out in the middle as off centre, obviously QA must be pretty shocking if they can't even get a good looking...

I got this amp as a little extra gift from Jaben when I purchased my GR07's and there was a delay - only just sitting down to hear how they perform with my CAL!'s. (source is my Cowon J3)   Initial impressions, whilst listening to some prog metal, better attack (noticing this a lot with the...

Hey OP, I'm in a similar position to you, the difference is I've already ordered my FA-011's :)   I'll probably have mine delivered by early Feb, so if you can wait that long I can let you know how I go with the inbuilt amp in my Asus Xonar ST.
