    NEW Audio Technica Multiple BA IEM: ATH LS50,70,200,300,400

    I just won the LS200 and the LS300 for $60 and $30, respectively, from Ebay Auction. Possibly the best catch from an auction, ever. Both came in full boxed, complete accessories, and excellent condition. I wonder why the LS300 is so measly cheap and not well-known in the market. In contrary to...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    My EPH-100 experienced the same issue where one side goes off after listening about an hour or two (possibly because of dislodged by moisture). But I troubleshoot it by blowing the dying side with a mouth, duster, and magnetizing the earphone with a magnet. I am not sure what is the perfect...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    Thanks :ksc75smile:, but Jesus Christ, I wrote A LOT back then. After owning more earphones (and exploring each unique sound signatures), I learn more about different sound frequencies, flavors, sweet spots, and of course, awful spots. My experience has grown, and I think I could have known more...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    The FXZ200 is the most interesting one of all four. Not only because of the design, but its soundstage intrigues me. The Z200 has the most spacious soundstage with more noticeable instrument and vocal separation of the four. The soundstage is not contributed by the tuning (e.g. sparkly treble...

    Shure Aonic 3, Aonic 4, and Aonic 5

    Interesting, are these only offered in China? Are they priced in Japanese Yen? if they do, the Aonic 4 is priced at ~$28...interesting. I wonder if they can be shipped internationally.

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    The FXT100/200/200LTD have similar thick tonality so those earphones got rid of the fuzzy, harsh treble of the FXT90. But they all have one flaw - they sound congested. One head-fier fixed the issue by removing the nozzle filter. So I got rid of the thick, fibrous filters of all the FXTs to...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    To compensate that, I painted the FXT90 to look like its red limited edition with lacquer (for durability), to distinguish it from the original FXT90 I have. Not too shabby but at least it matches with my rockboxed Sansa Clip Zip :ksc75smile: Let's hope this cheap FXT90 don't fail me in the...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    No, I bought it by the seller "Knockbargains". I do not think they are fake. I've heard they were secondary quality products that did not pass the inspection (e.g. the crack) and was subjected for disposal. Some people might have collected these and resold them for cheap. I don't think people...

    JVC HA-FXT90 Thread

    So I bought a cheap FXT90 from Ebay ($17) to supplement my favorite FXT90, which has aged since 2011 and working perfectly. I knew it would be a fake / a refurbished version, and upon arrival, I noticed a crack on the top of the left side. But most importantly, the cheap FXT90 sounds a little...

    Review of Audio Technica ATH-IM01, ATH-IM02, ATH-IM03, ATH-IM04, ATH-IM50, & ATH-IM70

    I agree, but I am unhappy with the sound of IM04. It sounds atrocious - significant roll-off on highs and lows and source dependent. The low-bass didn't change when I boosted up the 32 hz and 64 hz, but when I boosted the 100-125hz, the bass distorted. It is unacceptable for a $300 earphone I...

    Review of Audio Technica ATH-IM01, ATH-IM02, ATH-IM03, ATH-IM04, ATH-IM50, & ATH-IM70

    I bought the used IM04 ($300) as my reward for completing my thesis. My overall impression was confused. When I first gave it a listen, I thought the earphones were broke. I immediately requested a return (which might not possibly happen, but I will keep it in my collection, regardless), but...

    Review of Audio Technica ATH-IM01, ATH-IM02, ATH-IM03, ATH-IM04, ATH-IM50, & ATH-IM70

    I am interested getting an IM04 too. I have the IM01,02, and the 03 and overall I am impressed with those. Also, their prices have gone down because the increasing preference of bluetooth earphone over the cabled ones. Actually, the IM02 is the most fatiguing and least favorite among those...

    Sony XBA-300 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    The N3 obviously has stronger bass than the 300. But the 300 sounds more neutral and cleaner than the N3. My pick is the 300 because it is more comfortable and the fit is much nicer. N3 cable is just thick and less supple than 300 so can't enjoy the N3 on the go. Let me know if you have more...

    JVC HA-FXT100, HA-FXT200, HA-FXT200 LTD HI-SPEED

    I have all the FXT series and I like the FXT100 the most because it has the most bass among them yet the best supple and lightweight cable. FXT100 has even more bass quantity than the FXZ200 I reviewed back then. FXT200LTD does look nice but I don't recommend getting the FXT200 LTD because the...

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    I didnt pick that one, but you should ask the seller to show how the filter look like. The fakes I bought were in that price range, heck I even bought two and they were bad-sounding, not MH1c sounding like. This is the seller i bought from by the name milkyzone...

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    I prefer the MH750 though - the MH1C cable is just horrendous. Thickest and stiffest cable I've had. Get the legit MH750, the fake one sounds like a dirty mess - overly bassy and muddy, and the legit MH750 has similar sound characteristic like the MH1C. Note: if the MH750 is dirt cheap like 5...

    I hope everyone is enjoying the FXT100/200/LTD with the front filter removed. I found this idea from Jant71's. Though I do not recommend everyone who has the FXTs to do this attempt because the removal is irreversible, only those who have been disappointed due to dullness or congestion, or...

    An FXT300 with FXZ200 design, i will be sold, if only they go back to the original FXZ/FXT90 casing. The FXT100/200 is too big/ tall for them to insert. Yet I am trying to figure out why the old designs are more favorable to my ears compared to the new one...

    JVC HA-FXT100, HA-FXT200, HA-FXT200 LTD HI-SPEED

    Dont. Assuming the fx750's filter i have is the same as the fx850, it is made of a thin, transparent mesh instead of thick paper. Yet it seems highly permeable, allowing lots of airs to pass through. If you see it carefully you could even see the driver inside, as opposed to the FXTs. I...

    The fxz200 is already good on its own so i wont alter it while the fxt200ltd and the fxt100 are the otherwise. I wouldnt remove the filter of the FXZ as it is irreversible. Edit: i cannot get over with the FXTs becase of the nasty combination of forward mid, thickness, and dullness which dwarf...
