I had the IV several years ago and sold it because the 480 gram wt. while distributed evenly was still 480 grams on my head. So after 20 minutes it became very uncomfortable (unless lying down or leaning back on my chairs headrest) so I sold them. I agree the sound is amazing. Don't they make...

Nice brief review! Any comparisons to the E series, 4000 or 5000? (for me comparisons to other IEMS offer the reader better ideas on their overall SQ) Thanks!!

Trick question? How about a step up in the line??? E3000?

For those who have the Heaven V or Heaven series, I got a response from FAD on differences between the BA Heaven V and the DD E5000: "First of all, Heaven V being a balanced armature(BA) while E5000 is driven by a dynamic driver(DD), there are audible differences in term of response speed...

So happy for your approval, not sure what "can be true at the end means", perhaps "the end of the day?":ksc75smile:

Meant the higher end of the Heaven series, maybe starting at the Heaven V on up. Just a guess

TTT123, Thanks for the excellent easy understandable comparison between the Heaven VIII and the E5000. Any chance you could do a quick subjective listen to the Heaven V and E5000? I"m thinking there will be a similar comparison, as the Heaven series because of the BA will probably stand out in...

From Midnigh Tempest: "If anyone know where I can get decent cable for under $100 please do tell." Nocturnal Audio Hydra cable(or similar) (https://nocaudio.com/) from Treoo http://store.treoo.com/brands/nocturnal-audio?dir=asc&order=price

LOL, if I were to spend that for a cable I'd buy a $500 IEM, or go custom! A very long while back, I got a Nocturnal Audio Hydra cable (https://nocaudio.com/) from Treoo.com for $65 USD for my custom AS2,. ( https://www.head-fi.org/threads/nocturnal-audio-custom-headphone-cables ). It...

Yes a clip and over the ears really helped the microphonics on my Heaven V. Just read MidNigh Tempest idea of buying a $275 cable for a $275 IEM, that's very insane! You can probably get a cable 2x as good as the 5005 cable on Ebay from China for less than $100.

Anyone with comparison between the Heaven V or Heaven series and E5000?

Hi! :beerchug: Haven't been back to the forums for years but have been reading this thread for years!! I have the Heaven V and love it, but can't find a comparison between the Heaven V and the E5000. Apparently it has a detachable cord?? How does the SQ compare? Can someone please comment...

No burn in needed with my Heaven V. All other makes of IEM's from hifiman to DBA did.

Yup, sold mine due to the weight.  But the SQ is sterling!!

Absolutely spendid review!!  Spot on in my books as I've had the AS2 and AS2 converted to the AS2.5 then converted to the AS1Plus.   Sorry they didn't have enuff bass for you!!HA!!    Anyway, the newest Hybrid the AS1Plus is much more my cup of tea, but in all honesty, for that genre of sound I...

I strongly disagree with Barra's request that 5 people should be pm'd.   I think those that signed up are horribly irresponsible to not timely respond and  the burden should not be on whoever has the demo.     I received an email from headfi in my gmail from the member who was going to pass...

Inks, very pleasantly, expertly done and refreshingly opinionated review of the VII!!   I'm glad you didn't Rin-uate the review with any technical mumbo-jumbo especially like "the measurements vs sound quality don't add up"LOL!!   I thought your review was very understandable and nice comment on...

I pm'd the next two people, one is out of the country and doesn't want them, another didn't respond so I'm not wasting my time contacting anyone else.   They will be shipped to canada tomorrow.

Anyone on the East Coast tour that wants the demos send me your name and mailing address and I'll ship out tomorrow.   First come first serve.

Very, very prelim. report using foam tips in comparison to FAD Heaven V:  bottom line:  FAD is very, very musical and unique, be grateful and hang on to it.    I have asked many others who own the FAD Heavens if they knew of a custom like the FAD and the response was the same:  they have found...

Got the east coast kit today, all looks good.  Just Pm'd the next participant.

 yes.   But much "bigger sound" because its headphones.

  Just found a pic of a weightlifter wearing the FAD Heaven VIII.  Look how strong he is  Yet he still can't hold his head up from their weight!!
