Please tell me what you think of them especially compared to the SR2 16ohm's wide sound stage and bass.
First impressions: As you know, I'm a big fan of the SR2. But the B40 is better in every way after just a few hours' listening... I've already ordered another set.

Ah, no pressure... :sweat:

If you make bold statements like the following, then you deserve plenty of pressure lol!

Good thing that I am resistant to your hype for once, as I ordered them as soon as I got Jim's message :)

Edit: Dang - I see that you ordered a 2nd pair. I can't order a 2nd pair before even listening to my 1st pair, can I???

I think that's what @jogawag has done. Do you feel lucky, punk? :)

I feel like a weak punk lol.

So, you think that "the B40 is better in every way" than the SR2. I suppose you feel the same way compared to the mighty Silvers as well?

I do indeed. These things seem to be on a different level, such a mature sound. But I'll give it a couple more days to make sure it's not 'new toy' syndrome. Although I'm fairly sure it's not - there are definite improvements, I'm sure.

Sigh.

Have you tried the PEACE/APO equalizer? It is very feature-rich but easy to use. I have created and stored hundreds of profiles for all my phones. And it's free!

https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/
Yep I've tried and used EqualizerAPO in the past, but I'm not familiar with PEACE, I'll check it out! In the past months I just couldn't get EqualizerAPO to work on my PC, maybe one of the Windows updates killed it. Few days ago I got the big yearly update, so I'll try again, maybe it solves it.
It's quite funny, I ordered SR2 and Fengru Silver few weeks ago, mainly inspired by your impressions :D Plus I ordered lucky bag too, so it'll be quite fun to test all three together.

I've never used APO without PEACE but it is supposed to be compatible with all versions of Windows (although I am still on W7). I hope you can get it to work, it really is good.

SR2 and Silvers still sound great, but there's a new kid in town. :sunglasses:

Hey @Nick, if they are no good, I'll send you my spare pair. Ah, sorry to tease you - based on the feedback thus far, I'm sure they'll be good! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

After reading your reply、I've just already ordered another set too.:ksc75smile:

Ditto x2.

Edit: Dang - I see that you ordered a 2nd pair. I can't order a 2nd pair before even listening to my 1st pair, can I???

I'm in the same boat lol. One ordered initially, then I just ordered 2 more.
