Haven't posted for a while and noticed that this thread has gotten really technical. But that's good! Just want to say that after 10 years of owning several in ear phones, the ER4 is still the best. I often got lost wandering around trying different IEM's but I always end up going back to my...

Welcome to the club

Its a similar problem with the FA-DBA2 :(

Am not sure if this question has been asked already...does anyone have an issue with regards to the swiveling port? After 2 months of use I haven't got any problems but since it is a moving part, I'm concerned if there will be some loosening at one point

Had the DBA2, used it for 3 mos-> channel imbalance. Tried the B2, used it for 4 mos -> channel imbalance. I gave up on these two a long time ago...moving on

I read the previous posts on this thread and no one seemed to mention amping the MC5. There are IEMs that don't do well or even sound worse with an amp, such as the FA DBA-2 and FA eterna. I know the MC5 is meant to be portable and used straight out of an ipod considering that it has volume...

got my clip+ 8G 1 month ago and had no problems running either stock or rockbox. best thing is to send back the clip for exchange (if with warranty) coz it may be a player specific problem   Quote:  

As per my observation, you can insert them deeper if worn over ear, in effect, better isolation, better sound esp the bass Quote:  

Had a similar problem. Not very good quality control I guess   Quote:  

Yup did that thanks. Emailed them but unfortunately my set is out of warranty and they wont cover that anymore. Have a new pair of B2's so shifting gears to that   Quote:  

Really? Mine's cracked too but out of warranty (Aug 2010) Can I have them replaced or repaired too? How do I go about it? Bought them from TREEO.com singapore.

Tried the Ety triflange with the B2s but didnt work for me. I think the preferred tips for the B2s are single flanges so you can insert the nozzle well deep into the canal. Athough you can insert the triflanges deep enough, the nozzles remain distant from your eardrums and this sort of distorts...

Do you mean "Beats"?   Quote:  

I really doubt about this "burn in" effect. Was using my DBA-02 for over a year and just had my B2's recently and after comparing both, they sound 95% the same. Quote:  

Had a similar problem with the tips being left in my ear. A simple solution is to put some sticky tape around the nozzle to get a tighter fit so the tips are more secure   Quote:  

I own both the Hippo VB and FA Eterna which are considered as bass heavy IEMs and comparing them to the Brainwavz B2, the B2 is definitely not lacking in bass, both in quantity and quality. I would surmise that if you neutralize the upper frequencies (treble), they would probably sound as bass...

Quote: Same here. I prefer using the small stock silicone tips. Never liked foam tips even with my other IEMs

made a posting here a few months back. Just an update   DBA-02 = B2 > ER4S (amped)>Eterna v.2>UE SF5 pro>RE0>Hippo VB>Ety MC3>other cheaper IEMs   DBA-02 sounds more or less the same as B2 so they're equal. I have an ER4P with a 75ohm transforming it to ER4S. ER4P (unamped) would...

After 2 days of comparing the B2 with the dba2, I noticed more bass presence with the B2. I have to up the low frequency with my cowon s9 by a notch when using the DBA-02 Otherwise, they sound the same

The Comply tips appears to have improved in consistency. It felt kind of sticky at first and may be due to the humidity (I live in the tropics) Just a theory

  Quote: Have you tried using the small stock single flanges? I mean, have no idea with the size of your ear canals but in most of my other IEMs, I use the medium size tips and its only with the B2s and Etys that i use the small single flanges. I can actually insert them deeper than the...

Quote: Really strange because comparing them to the the Comply tips I've got (3 kinds), the ones from the B2 are really different in terms of consistency. I'm not fond of using them, anyways  

Tried the Ety-s tri-flange but didnt work for me. I like using the small single flange to get a really deep insertion. I also use the same tips with my Ety ER4P. Was never a fan of tri-flanges   Quote:  

Just got my Brainwavz B2 ordered from MP4 nation and here's a quick comparison to my FA DBA-02. First impressions - very similar to if not exactly the same as the Fischer Audio DBA-02 with regards to its sound. I had the DBA-02 for over a year and decided to get the B2's after reading that they...

First of all, just want to congratulate ClieOS for such awesome reviews. The first time I bought an IEM, it was ClieOS's reviews that provided me with the most information and out of the 10 or so IEMs I have purchased, I regreted buying only 2 of them (which i only bought out of curiosity). Same...
