Just had a chance to listen to the 620S For people who have been trying to get into closed backs but have always hated the bloated bass and piercing highs, the 620S is a no brainer buy, esp at this price pt. It's the few rare closed backs that don't need EQ. (Personally I'd put 1-2dB towards...

Unfortunately I also had the same issue. The balance on my X1 shifted to the right after a few days of use. I even went to the store and had the staff tried it themselves to make sure it wasn't an issue on my chain. I was hoping to get a replacement unit but since it's sold out everywhere I...

Just got mine too! Here is my first impressions, hooked up with RME ADI-2/4PROSE, and SRM-006tA: I overall agree with @mtthefirst impressions above. So just to add a few things, I posted the PEQ adjustment below to illustrate better. (Note: Tuned to my hrtf. I don't have any measurement rig so...

I've preordered the X1 (how we are all poor from impulsive purchases 😂). But now I need to figure out what to amp it with since I've sold my 500T. Thinking of topping EHA5, or the 400S or the 700S (probably overkill for this).. Any thoughts on these amps or other recommendations?

I've seen preorders up in Japanese stores. Release is May 9th.

The rep said they are aiming for release within the next 3 mths. No exact dates given.

Yes, but 007 is more mid-bassy and sounds thicker from memory. So would be down to preference here.

Had a chance to listen to these at an event today for about 25mins. To me it's probably the first stax that has a balanced tuning (even the X-9000 is bright to my ears ymmv). Not bright, think harman but slightly darker up top. It sounded really nice with all genres off my lib of metal, jpops...

Yes, Zach and team really hit it out of the park with this one. Looks and sound wise. I also noticed that the red isn't as deep as the other red mallees I've seen. Not sure if intentional, but it gives the aged feel to fit in with the rustic theme and I'm absolutely loving it!

Long time head-fi lurker, but thought I should post to celebrate this beauty 😍 I just got in my mail today. Totally worth the 6wk wait.

B6 Pirate, Savvy? :D Dayum, that design.. **droools

Wow didn't expect so many people sharing the same sentiments! This is great to hear. Cheers :D Yes, I think the bass is already the right amount for almost all my library (lots of EDM too!). On rare occasion when it's not, the Cayin C5's bass boost does an incredible job imo. I tried the a71...

Having been listening with mainly Havi B3P1, whenever I listen to other IEMs, I feel like they often have too much bass. And I used to like subwoofer like bass... Havi seems to possess the magic to convert people from bassheads to more neutral sound lover... Can't help but wonder if the B6...

Ah yes, those . Are they using similar technology perhaps? Anyway, just need to hear it to tell 

  My experience was the exact opposite to yours though. the a83 fit well, but the a71 just didn't seem to work for me. Had another 2 people there in the room. None of them could get it right neither. Good to hear it fits you well though.   I guess I should try it again next time I have the...

I was auditioning the a71 and a83 yesterday. Couldn't get a fit for a71. The sound kept changing depending on the angle of the body. Naturally as I moved my head the fit moved as well, and unfortunately, I didn't have too much time to fiddle around with it. Mind sharing any tricks involved (if...

Hi guys, pardon my barging in. First post on the discovery thread    Fostex TE-07 single BA. Releasing early December. Anyone?    http://ameblo.jp/e-earphone/entry-11955104832.html   What catches my attention is how expensive it is for a universal single BA

I would appreciate it if you guys read what i wrote first before commenting. I listen to the 16/44.1 tracks only. Its to give you an idea on what sort of track i was listening to. Everyone knows youtube compression is horrible

@rontant awesome. Tell me what you find later    I find this EP001 is a real contender when it comes to songs like this. Healthy amount of bass + good details:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q87MdGKwk_w

The low profile also mitigates wind noise by quite a lot I realised. And it looks so good, I've been using it outside 

 Like this one:  (I listened with 16/44.1 flacs though) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwHY2pFtm5E   and   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTtRyeHgB14   It sounded really good on Havi, great dynamics, and i can feel the stage and separation really well. The EP001 seems to compress it too...

I just got the HZ EP001 yesterday. First impression (coming from Havi B3p1) was not very positive. Bass felt overwhelming and veils the highs. Mids was very forward.   However, after burning them in for 21 hours or so, the sound changes dramatically. The highs finally shows itself, and it's...

Just gotta love the looks of that bag chock-full of goodies and awesomeness. Enjoy your time with the Havi B3!

Ah sorry to make you repeat, @Baycode Thanks for the clarification! Will definitely be tip rolling some more   Yeah, because usually I get slight hissing from my fxz200 even though the sensitivity was rated at 96dB/mW (16ohm impedance though). So I was just thinking, maybe the higher impedance...

@Lorspeaker lol! Thanks @Baycode     I haven't really tried many for long sessions so I can't comment much on how good each pair sounds. But so far, what I found worked ( at least seals well) were sony hybrid foam (small), the included medium black double flanges, the included clear white...
