Sorry about the wallet, though relevant to this thread, I too share your thoughts that the ER2XR "definitely hits my preferences, seemingly more than the FDX1".
The ER2XR have been getting all my ear-time lately, though I'll have to go back and do a more direct A/B comparison with the FDX1.
One thing worth noting is the ER2XR and FDX1 have near identical frequency response up to 1 KHz; the ER2XR then has a Diffuse Field bump, whereas the FDX1's bump is in a higher frequency range. So maybe that's where the difference in preference lies: where a person prefers that "bump".

So... my wallet is not happy with you. I told myself there was no need for any more IEMs after the some of my recent purchases, like the andromeda gold, the fdx01, and the ier z1r. I like the fdx01, but just found it didnt quite 100% suit my preferences, especially where bass was concerned. I had been eyeing the er2xr for a while but just never pulled the trigger, but after seeing your post and the sale price, I said screw it. I have only put in like 15 minutes on them, but they are excellent. Maybe not technically to the same level as some of the more expensive stuff, but for the price they are great, definitely hits my preferences, seemingly more than the fdx01. So yea, my wallet says boo you.
