I went through the Daft Punk phase when the the album first dropped.  Do yourself a favor and get a lossless copy of it, these cans will blow you away.  Turn it up and just drift away.   Side note: Anyone recommend any IEM's that have similar characteristics to the X1's.  Unhappy with my...

If anyone doubts the "musicality" and range of the x1's ... give this a listen.  Ive had them for 8months and they still suprise me sometimes will how amazing they are.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNUTlKqSO-I

  Pretty much mostly what I listen to.  These X-1's continue to blow me away.  SOOOO worth the money.

I just wanted to add the comment that my ratings are based on a scale that only contains the x-1   IE: 10 on my scale is what I think is the best possible sound from a x-1   I noticed some people using this survey to place the x-1 on a scale with audio minerva or other combos compared.  It...

Incidentally I have both.  I'm not very good at the comparative words, but I havent put my FA-011's on since the X1's arrived.  Its a similar sound, but better on every level if that makes sense.  Possibly just a bit warmer and closer feeling than the FA-011

Wooo got them now!!   I am blown away by the packaging and quality of build.  These things are simply gorgeous. Initial impression compared to my FA-011 is that they are warmer, have more tamed highs, and a bit more mid-bass hump, but doesnt extend quite as low as the FA-011. Quite a bit...

Mine are delivered. Now I just have to go sign for them.  I am soo excited to see them.

  oh my oh my oh my.  

I'm so confused right now.  I know lots of "hoes" but most of them are more related miley than headphones.

Does this one count?   http://www.head-fi.org/t/545368/review-fischer-audio-fa-011-off-the-deep-end   Throwing LCD-2 around alot in that thread.....     Oh and yes i got a pair haha

  So according to this I have the 2nd batch.  Are the drivers actually different from the first batch? Or do you attribute the differences to the cable, or something else.

    Well just so you know...... that cable is gorgeous!!

  Razor Blade?

Yeah wow.  And I was just looking for some plugs for an extension cable too!

  I wouldn't mind experiencing this.  Send me some "tubes" 

  Thanks for the reply!!   I'll give that a try when they get here.     Edit:  I think I read it before, but high output impedance + high impedance cans = better? So with most of my low impedance cans I will hear a difference from using the e17 output?

  I can't really compare to other amp setups, but I am using Fiio e17/e09k with mine and it definitely helped control the highs and deliver the bass.  I won't listen to FA-011's from anything else, I'll grab a different set of cans first.   Why do you assume Airforce... because he has...

Well I just picked up a X1 from forum member due to LME's recommendation to potentially replace my FA-011's.     Right now I am using e17/e09k.  Anyone use this combo with them?  Been tossing around the idea of MM stack since I've used the "portable" e17 exactly 0 times.

Thanks for the comparo to the FA-011.   If you think it is a hard decision, then I would probably be dissapointed in the extra cost right now.  I will continue my other search for a GREAT closed can.

Anyone here have any experience with the fischer FA-011?   I currently have them and enjoy the "open" sound, but constantly find myself grabbing my senn HD428, because they are more comfortable. I would be looking to replace the FA-011 with a similar sound signature.  

Right now....... QC15's (All around the most useful/comfortable headphones for the long haul) ... but wait is there a shortage of batteries....guess that point is moot since everything requires electricity eventually E17/E09k Computer of course....

HQ version of Dire Straits -- Expresso Love ... or Sultans of swing   http://youtu.be/qdupU80HMss   WOOOOOOW 

RAM is absolutely amazing.  I have been hooked on it since it came out!!

Quote: I even have to plug them in.  This is getting out of hand.  Im gonna have to build a hub that switches to whichever pair is not on the rack!

More of a repurpose than a DIY I suppose, but it gets the job done!   Some sort of Weider exercise thingy clamped to the side of my desk.
