    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I like to use a tone generator like https://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/hearing.html to determine the relative perceived loudness of each frequency. I then use this to EQ my headphones flat. Usually I like to boost the bass slightly from this point. If anyone knows a better tone generator for this...

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I'm not sure if maybe the ring is removable from the pad and can slip on the replacement pad. I can't check right now because my TH900 are going through RMA process.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I got the TH610 replacement pad per your recommendation. I noticed that the pad doesn't have the plastic rings like the stock pads. Is the ring removable?

    Fostex TH900 MkII

    If the polarity is reversed on one of the channels, then the R and L channels will be out of phase (one driver pushing out, while other in). If you physically swap the polarity on one of your channels (I would not recommend doing this on the TH900mk2 because the cable is only supposed to plug in...

    Fostex TH900 MkII

    HD6XX as in Sennheiser? It appears to be the original Fostex cable that comes with the TH900mk2. It is Fostex branded with fabric sleeving and looks identical to photos.

    Fostex TH900mk2 out of phase. Fakes?

    I just picked up some Fostex TH900mk2 on eBay. I used http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php and noticed the polarity is reversed. I plugged in the cable properly according to manual. Does anyone have experience with this? Are there reports of fakes of this product? I suppose it...

    Things to consider before getting your custom IEM impressions done. The perfect fit.

      My right ear has a little bit of pressure but not uncomfortable in any way. It just feels more "plugged" than the left ear. The left ear seems to have a good seal but not as much of a plugged feeling compared to the right ear. If I open my mouth slightly then the sound seems to "open up" in...

    Things to consider before getting your custom IEM impressions done. The perfect fit.

    Hi, everyone. I just got my first pair of custom IEMs (JH Audio Angie). I have some concerns and I was hoping someone with more experience could comment on my observations.   Firstly, when I got my impressions done, the audiologist didn't have me use a bite block. During the process I can't...

    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Hey, guys! Just got my CIEM Angies and testing them out. I will write back later but I was curious in the mean time:   With a proper fit and seal should you get resonance in your head when talking? My cheap universals fit deep and tight and I don't have as pronounced vocal resonance in my head...

    Does anyone know the point of having separate bass adjustment for each the left and right channel as opposed to just one adjustment controlling both channels simultaneously?

    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

      On Jan 5, 2016 I was told that the current lead time is 15-20 business days. I'm currently sitting at ~23 business days (since Dec 22, 2015 when my impressions were received)  and my order status is still "Impressions received and order processed."

    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

    The fact that it reverberated or not wasn't a concern. The concern was that it happened on one side but not the other. That implies something _may_ be wrong.

    JH Audio Angie Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I didn't notice any issues when I was demoing them. It's possible this is normal and the difference is just unveiling a difference in fit between the two ears? My left ear canal is definitely tighter than my right. I never tried figuring out if there was a difference in their "hollowness" when...
