Anybody experienced both of those? I can basically get a HD555 for $85 and a stock FA-003 for $187.   Which one is the better bang-for-the-buck?

Has anyone seen the new headphones they bought out? It is called FA-011,they look so nice. I wonder how they compare to FA-003/FA-002.             Specification Frequency range:18-22000 H Sensitivity:98dB Impedance:160 ohms Maxium input power: 0.4W  ...

  I need a pair of closed headphones in the office as my Shure SE530s are too cumbersome to remove and put back if someone approches me, and my open Grado SR60s are obviously too loud in this environment.   I decided to order the Shure SRH840 headphones as I am quite happy with my current...

hello head-fiers! i just need opinions on which one to buy, im just confused between these 3..   if any1 have had them or tried them which one do you think is the best bet to get?   thanks! not really sure what sounds they specializes in   and any pros/cons?

Which one is the better buy?   $187 shipped for FA-003 $242 shipped for FA-002w LBR (Cheapest wood earcup available)   I also read that the FA-003 did have a better sound over the FA-002, but then again, is the FA-002w the same as FA-002? So it would mean that the FA-003 has better...

Hi everyone first post here :)   I currently have a an old vintage pair of Sony DR-S3's that I have owned since childhood ( along time ago ;) ).  They are a closed cup design and over even a relative short period of time they become uncomfortable and a bit sweaty to wear .Although I find the...

Hi folks,   I've been "lurker" for quite a while and have been simply spell-bound by the wealth of knowledge and experience of most of the members here. Thanks to Head-fi I got myself a pair of RE-0 IEMs that I absolutely love. However, my gf lost the splendid beauties along with my Fiio amp...

I'm currently looking for a new pair of "budget" (less than $200) headphones and stumbled on the Fischer Audio's FA-003 which was fitting my budget just perfectly since I could buy it here in Canada (I live in Canada so importing from US = $$) They cost $200 shipped/tax, everything.   How...

Both of these phones are within my price range currently and I'll be ordering within a day or 2.   I'm really at a loss here because the Fischer hype machine is going crazy and the neutral + open-ness they claim is really attractive to me. On the other hand, the Beyer's are established as...

I currently do not own any full size headphones---only iems. My current main iem is my fischer audio DBA-02, which I absolutely love. I have always preferred full size headphones to iems, but I have enjoyed the convenience of iems. I am looking for a full-size headphone that has a similar type...

Hi All,   A couple months ago I bought some Shure 840s, Audio-Technica M50s, and Ultrasone 780s, planning to try them out and keep the set I liked the most.  I found the Ultrasones to be a little bright for my taste, and they just didn't sound that impressive to me.  The M50s sounded great...

Hi all,   I am fortunate to be burning in a pair of Fischer FA-003 cans, and was hoping to pick up a relatively inexpensive DAC to pair with them. I have mainly looked at the Fiio E7 and the uDac-2, both of which seem capable of sufficiently driving the 64 Ohm impedance of these headphones...

Go!

Is it too much to ask to want your cake and to eat it too? I have a Benchmark DAC-1 with a great headphone section. And I've spent a fair amount on headphones, but I can't seem to find any with a closed back that both sound good and I can wear for more than a few hours. Here's what I've tried...

First of all sorry for the X-post, i wasn't really sure where i should put the thread.  Anyway here goes:  I'm currently looking for some new headphones and have found a ton of pairs but none that really match everything i'm looking for.  What i'm trying to find are a pair of over ear...

Hello guys (:   This is my first thread :O   Okay back on topic, i've been researching on what headphones should i get for my home rig. I've researched quite abit, and i'm down between the SR225i and FA-003.   Hmm, my main music genres are metal, classical, old rock, and some jazz...

I've search through similar threads and found no consensus. I don't expect to find one, but some first-hand input would be nice.   Current phones = Grado 225i Future phones = m50s or FA-003s   I'm looking for an amp or dac/amp for the Grado, hopefully one that will also sound decent...

All right guys, quick question. I have $200 and I'm looking to expand my collection ... into a collection. Right now all I have is the 595's. I've been reading a lot about these three and find them all quite interesting. Don't worry about what I want, what would you do in my position? Take...

So, I'm torn between these two cans right now. I listen to mostly rock with some intrsumentals, hip hop, and acoustic thrown in. The SRH840 are about $30 cheaper though. From what I've read, these cans sound extremely similar, so I'm trying to see if anyone else can throw in any advice. Can...

Hey guys, still trying to decide on what to buy. I've read so many threads and researched so many phones that I think I'm just going in circles. Here's where I stand:   I currently own:   SHR840 - I think they sound pretty decent actually, fairly neutral, but I'd probably prefer an open...

Hey guys, Im looking for a over-ear headphones in these conditions: 1) around the range of S$200 and below (or US$150). 2) Soft material as ear muffs like those on senn HD 418 and NOT the the pseudo leather type on senn HD 428. 3) Decent sound quality. I'm ok if it isn't very good...

I want to hear accurate, if lively, presentation of my music. I want my music to come through with all the clarity and impact of the original cds.   I'm looking for the Audio Technica ATH-M50 but in an earphone form. Everything thing this folding semi-portable headphone can do i want it in...

I bought the Fischer Audio FA-003 a week ago after reading up LFF's Reviews on them. And upon first hearing them out of the box i have to say i am really surprised!   For something of a reasonable price range, These Cans definitely says they are no slouches even though they were fresh out of...

So i got the headphones and they sound great without an amp but i want to step it up a bit. Im really not sure what features i should look for in an amp that would coincide with these headphones, i know they have a high than usually impedance so it would should take a lot more current thus a lot...

I need advice for full size circumaural headphones for under 200 bucks playing off ipod or computer straight off, without future upgrades and other devices. i have heard senn 280pro is good but some reviewers say poor durability. What do you recommend? Listen to rock and pop mostly. Thanks : )
