To be honest, there wasn't a big difference. Some of the difference came from the different pads which felt nicer, but were too shallow for me. Simply described it was a bit more refined FA-011, the bass was a tiny bit tighter, soundstage slightly bigger and maybe a tad smoother sound. The build...

They really do. I've sold my limited edition FA-011's but still rocking the originals as they still are quite excellent.

  Welcome to the club. It's a little quiet here these days but I hope you'll enjoy your time with the LE. You seem to have gotten a beatiful pair. Still rocking mine Tiama 10/10 here. 

  Thank you but I'm well aware on how to disassemble the headband as that is what I did to repare it. Reason why I didn't just replace it with the spare one is that I want to maximize the lifetime of them.

  The same part as in this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/545368/review-fischer-audio-fa-011-off-the-deep-end/2070#post_11188517 but differently. The plastic "tube" that the screw goes into to hold the two pieces together broke off from the other side.   Did you happen find any good...

Has anyone tried swapping out the headband completely on these (or the regular version)? One of the plastics on the headband broke on mine just like it did on my regular version but l managed to fix it with superglue for now. Luckily I ordered one spare headband from Fischer Audio when I bought...

  Thanks for the tip. I guess I have to try with putting them in a bag of rice and hope for the best. Was also thinking of trying to rinse them with purified water and then letting them dry. But I'm not keeping my hopes up. 

My beloved Gr07 Mk l ended up in the washing machine inside my pocket (zipper pocket and they were in the leather carrying case) which I didn't realize until a few days later. The left side I think still works properly (although it does sound a little low) but the right side (while louder)...

  Instead of posting about it here, you probably should post them in the "For Sale" section.

  Don't go telling us that, now I want to hear them too.     EDIT: Just checked, the regular LEs are 160 ohm but I guess they could still be tuned differently.

  I think he's talking about these: http://www.musicaacoustics.com/wp/headphones/fa-011/ Here's also an article about them in russian: http://appleinsider.ru/obzory-zheleza/obzor-naushnikov-fischer-audio-fa-011-limited-edition-japan.html   Looking at the pictures, they seem use a different...

  I also own both the LE and standard version but unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure to listen to the LCDs. My impressions of the LE vs non LE pretty much line up with Loquahs. The LEs are slightly smoother but with lots of detail and the non LEs can have a little harsh treble for some...

  The tissue mod is just putting tissues beneath the cushions to make them thicker. As I don't have any extra pads I had to wash my old ones and I will be trying them today.   EDIT: Listening now with my old pads and they are definetily more comfortable. Even with the tissue mod the LE pads...

My LE finally arrived today and they are indeed beautiful, though the wood is slightly darker than what I expected from the pictures. The new pads have a nice feeling to them but as they are slightly thinner and softer than the stock pads, I have the same problem with my ears pressing against...

Quote: To be honest, the cost is pretty much the same. He said that they have an agreement with their partners to not sell them for lower than they do, which I understand, but I had hoped that I could have saved a little money. The only real benefits I get out of it is that it's a lot...
