I just wanted to swing back on the ASG 2.5 comparisons with current IEMs. I did manage to get a set of the Beyer Xelento GEN 2s. I have been looking for a warm dynamic driver set that has a similar profile to the ASG2.5. The uniqueness of that IEM is held in the elevation of the mid-bass, along...

Well, there's nothing like the old 2.5s. Nothing on the market either. But the fender house sound is good old rock&roll. The FXA6 is still easily available via Ebay. They have tons of NOS for $99 or less. The next gen fenders were again, very different from the FXs. But they are priced to...

The sound signature of the original Aurisonics was very, very unique. They had huge bass and mid-bass shelves, and a restrained response from upper mid onward. I don't think there is anything close to that signature on the market. The FXA7 was far more conventional in response. If you call...

Agreed! I have Senns and love them, but I am always surprised at how much smoother and musical the Fenders are than them. My IE300 is pretty close in overall tonality, but the 600 have that bright treble that can be a bit much. I never get fatigue with the fenders. It is a huge shame that they...

The lower graph is the accurate one. There is definitely not that huge ear-piercing peak! 50 Euro is a good price. The accessories are not particularly special, to be honest. You're not missing out. When these IEMS were new, I remember them being almost $300. 50E is a steal for this quality...

I would think they sound the same. When Fender announced their first line of products, they had the 5/6/7 series. Each had its own signature, driver count and cost. That line was never changed as far as I know, and only lasted a very short while, because they didn't sell well. So, I doubt they...

I don't believe so. I purchased 2 NOS ones off of eBay last year. Both were new and in box at $90, and both said "Professional" on the box.

totally Agree. Despite being heavily colored, there is an atmospheric quality to the ASG2.5 that I can't find anywhere else. It can play EDM with a razor leading edge, snap a snare drum like you were 20 feet from the stage, and add a warmth to female vocals that is addictive. The driver was...

I had the same issue with my ASG 2.5. I had one driver blow out and no way to repair. The shame is that the ASG2.5 is such a unique sound that there are no replacements for it. I've even tried out several of the early Fender models to see if they replicated the sound, but none have that warmth...
