I sent them in since Feb and just got em back the day I posted. So, approx 3 months+.

After having buzzing driver issue and had my T60rp sent back to HK for replacement, I finally got a replacement pair back straight from fostex jp (my HK dealer as well as its distributer, DMA Audio, refused that it had any problems and repeatedly saying they sounded OK and had ‘tested’ with...

From my experience (I have very tiny ear canals) the tri-flange fits best, quick and sounds best.

I do, when worn over the ears the microphonic noise from cable is pretty much reduced, and the earphones don’t feel like they are being pulled down bu the weight anymore.

May I ask if there're any healthy Fostex T60RPs out there that don't rattle with loud bass? It really seems Fostex really sucks with QC on Tx0RP line. If there is a pair out there that is healthy, I'll send mine in for replacement, if not (or the majority has defect) I guess I would do nothing...

FYI I knew I got the same amount of seal from custom vs stock tips because I equiped each earphone with each type and shug them into my ears. The custom one is a lot more comfortable though. I then played music in mono through these and I find the bass quality and quantity almost identical in...

how does the break-in work, less friction on the surface or stiffness-related? my silicone tips are soft-type (which was my only choice) and what makes them hard to put on is the friction. I think the their fit is perfect though it’s hard to put on, since once put on properly (always takes me...

No, because as I said, the seal is unchanged in my case so the bass quantity is more or less the same. I tried to A-B test between custom tips and stock tips, but it took me almost a minute to switch tips and wear the earphones so my auditory memory wouldn’t be accurate enough to reliably...

Just got my silicone tips. Clarity is very much improved! I guess it’s the upper midrange that sounds most different from stock tri tips? I achieved the same level of seal with the tri-flange, nonetheless these etys for sure sound better and are much more comfortable with custom tips, although...

lol this is exactly my problem with my current T60RP.

Mine is from 90s batch, very early production unit lol. I’m contacting my store to see if they can do anything

Thank you for your EQ guide! If I don’t boost any freq (only suppressing 10kHz) then I do I still have to turn the pre-amp down to avoid clipping? Sorry for noob question, I’ve never EQed before. May I ask if your pair rattles with bass frequency? Yesterday only the right driver was showing the...

OK So I found out that these could rumble in bass department, so I test this by generating 50Hz-100Hz 20-second at -6dBFS sine sweep in ocenaudio for Mac and now my pair got weird. I think the sub-bass is shaking my hair, or some exterior part of the headphone to make sound, because if I press...

So finally got back home to my desktop setup. After 2 days of adapting my ear to the sound of the headphones, I still find them a bit hot in treble, that I don't use them for metal. The peak is at maybe at 9-10kHz? (I saw it from measurement posted somewhere in this thread, but not sure about...

Just got myself a pair of T60RP in Hong Kong (HK$2380, non-VAT-refundable). Was aiming at AKG K550 MK3 or Senn HD4.40 as cheap souvenir to myself, but ended up getting these wooden bad boyz instead lol. FYI I was heartbroken by the HE4xx, so I wanted to try other planar headphones. At the time...

Just got em! Edited: Quick impression: Overall good sounding for $170 but I find the treble peak around 8.5-9kHz very and prominent, like with DT770, it ruined certain trebly tracks. Guess I'll have to find new pads.

Ok guys, so I just made my ear impression today. They said they only offer one type of silicone. I’m fine with that, since those 2 ear molds only cost $25. However, my audiologist did not provide bite block for me, so I opened my mouth by myself, and moved my jaws slightly during molding...

I too have tiny ears and these are my most comfortable IEMs imho

This is a bit subjective to me. I agree that these have small soundsatge - but I think their imaging is superb. The very precise imaging when combined with not-too-small soundstage, produces pretty great 3D listening experience on earphones IMHO. As per RTINGS video on how soundstage can be...

thank you for this advice! I didn’t know I could choose silicone stiffness, will consult with my audiologist.

Thank you sire!

I’d say yes and go for SR. Bass is super fast, clean, and accurate, so your low end response can always keep up (because it’s supposed to be so), while the highs are never exaggerated to my ears, which means that if your music is properly mixed in the studio not to be sibilant, they should just...

May I ask which material do you prefer for your custom Ety tips? My local audiologists said they could not make acrylic shells for my Etys because of some fitting problems, so if I decided to choose them I’d have to get silicone tips, but I didn’t do any research at the time about the material...

Yeah the only reason that put me off from A30 is the output impedance, now wanting DX3Pro for myself (I now use D10+O2) Anyway, I just ordered these 4xx yesterday, can’t wait to get them!

Thank you for reassuring me. They still sound fine, but I don't know if the delicate tuning will be impaired. FYI Etymotic offered to measure them for me for free if I would send them in, but I guess the shipping from TH to US will be economically illogical so I will just trust my little drivers.
