I'm just much happier now it's over and I'm not checking the message board every day anymore. I was able to get a pair of Mahogany's off eBay and they will be here next week. I think Fostex really blew this one and I'm not sure why things got so bad in 2016. Especially since the first drop...

After a month or so wait (for the Mahogany/Purpleheart folks, a couple of months of waiting) Massdrop cancelled both Mahogany orders. I rushed to ebay and bought a used pair as soon as I got this email. Looks like something is seriously wrong at Fostex. If I were waiting around until November...

Heads up for anyone wanting to buy these from Massdrop... DONT!!! They are a complete disaster! Buy them used here or ebay, anywhere else really. I really wish I had. I might have paid $50-$100 more, but I really could care less at this point.   They lie about the expected ship date to get...

Wow, these A2's sound pretty good! Straight out of my iPhone 6 they are killing it so far. Fit is a lot better than I thought it would be too. Glad I picked them up.

I listened to the Z5 while at the SF Headfi meet and liked them except the clarity wasn't quite there and there was a bit of bass bloat. But, they were fun to listen to. Reading all these reviews, I just bought a pair of A2's. Seems like these take care of the issues I had with the Z5. One day...

Yeah, I need an IEM to go from this:       to this:     That's about the extent of my range.

Ok, so it has been a few days and still prefer the Altone 200 to the 2000J's. By quite a lot actually. The 2000J's have some kind of sound in the treble that I don't really like. Especially with cymbals/high hat. The bass is weaker, and drum sounds don't have the same impact and realism. If...

Good advice. I'll try that instead of juggling around every 10min.

Yeah, I have had my Altone's the longest, so maybe that's why they sound the best to me right now?

- The Altone's are still the most fun, the best on drum and bass by far! I like these at low-medium volumes. Metalcore for sure! - The Savants are smooth and detailed, but artificial sounding with percussion and bass. The best vocals. For rock and ballads. - The 2000J's honestly don't sound...

Wow, so funny that I saw this review today. Brooko's awesome review: http://www.head-fi.org/products/noble-audio-savant/reviews/13696   I just got my DUNU 2000J's yesterday and I am comparing them to my Savants and Altone 200's. What a coincidence!

Thanks Brooko. Sounds like I am going to like these a lot!

  Cool. Didn't know that existed. Thanks!

I have the Altone 200's and love them for metal music. They totally opened my eyes to Hybrids. Are the 2000J's going to be better than the Altones? I almost bought the K3003, but then I read the 2000J's have more texture to the bass. I really like the Altone 200's bass texture and clarity in the...

I wish there was more than one meet per year around here. I would love a subcategory IEM meet. Wouldn't need as much space, pretty easy to plan.

I have the T-Peos Altone 200's and love them. Just bought a pair of DUNU 2000J's. Hoping for a mid boost to the vocals and even more of that awesome dynamic driver bass texture.

http://www.head-fi.org/u/399714/moedawg140   I had so much fun with this guy!! Getting to try out numerous IEM's that I have only read about was a real treat. And he was so nice too!   Only problem is now a week later I bought a Noble Savant, DUNU 2000J and I think I'm going to get the Sony...

Any Noble fans into modern metal? I hear a lot of reviews for pop, jazz, classical, etc.   Examples... https://vimeo.com/16387652  &  https://vimeo.com/14409551   Thanks!

Do you have to RSVP if your just showing up to listen and buy stuff? Never been to a head phone event before.

I will be there to buy a set of custom IEM's. Never been to a meet before, seems like the best way to demo and buy stuff. Hopefully there will be Noble, 1964ears, JH Audio, UE, ...??
