I'll let you know how they are when they show up if you'd like. As I said, it will be a week or two until they get here, but just let me know if you'd like me to shoot you a message or tag you in a post about them when they show up.

I would love that! thanks!

i had mojito ,i liked it very much.
can you make mojito vs maria 2 in soundstage wideness ,fullness, brightness..

The Maria IIs are brighter for sure, though still well balanced. They have a significantly larger soundstage in both width and depth than the Mojitos, with the soundstage having more width than depth. The Maria IIs have significantly more detail than the Mojitos. Perhaps most importantly, the Maria IIs have this ability to portray music with this delicate, etheral quality that makes certain genres come across in a very unique and special way, but for me they are a specialist earbud for sure. When I try to use them for general listening they are far too picky about which tracks they make sound amazing versus which tracks sound terrible...more than any othet earbud I have ever heard. It's worth keeping them around for that unique quality to their presentation though because when you listen to the music that they jive with it's a truly special experience.

I coil the cable and store the buds in the included case. It has no kink or nasty memory like some IEM cables (cough … Campfire Audio), but it is stubborn. It is straight, but straight the way it wants to be, not the way I want it to be. Waiting for @JAnonymous5150 to do some cable swapping experiment

I got the second pair of FF3s yesterday, but I haven't had time to sit down and figure out how to tackle the mod. I WILL end up with a pair of FF3s with a different cable. I just need to figure out if these's a good clean way to add an mmcx connector or if I'm just going to recable with another cable.

Though as time has gone on, the stock cable is really not too bad. But once I have it in my head that I'm gonna do a mod it's gonna happen lol.

When I am skillful enough and have something to replace FF3 (hopefully FF5), I also want to open it up and replace the driver somehow. Someone (cannot recall the exact person now, sorry!) told me that the magic of FF3 is from its shell, not the driver. Perhaps we can squeeze a bit more performance out of it? IDK.

Sounds like a worthwhile experiment IMO...

Either I don’t need that much bass as I imagined or FF3 has really good bass performance because this drum cover sounds fantastic. Love the sound when she hits two tom tom at the same time around 0:30. Kick drum has clear impact when the beater strikes but also the rumble and decay, not just “poof” like my Andromeda or some other lesser single DD IEM.

Fun fact: Some people who follow my ranking list have ordered FF3 because of the abnormal level of performance / price ratio that it has in my ranking system. Hopefully I don’t disappoint them

They say that the shell's flute and drum design is part of why the sound is so powerful and authoritative. The long stroke driver being the other major part. I don't really have a desire to move it to another shell because I really like the fit and performance so much, but I will crack it open and see what the driver looks like when I have it open for the cable modding business, obviously.

Riku did suggest I consider the Rider, Berserker/Saber but I'm also curious about the Lancer as that seems to be super well received as well

Just realized that the naming came from the Fate series. A man of culture indeed!

It turns out this is Fiio measuring gig. Fancy.

One of them which is me hahaha! Following the previous OLA inquiries months ago. I too got interested when you suggested the FF3s. I mainly use my stuff for gaming and have tried open back headphones but didn't really suit the sound profile I was looking for! So I hope the FF3s give me the wallhacking sensation due to the accurate imaging haha!

Yeah, mine too. I thought this was standard for every true enthusiast

I have both the Saber and the Lancer. Both are very well tuned with the Lancer taking the lead in terms of clarity. However if you lean towards more bass in your listening profile, the Saber should be your choice. Although I have not heard, based on others here, it would be Berserker if you are a basshead.

Holy moly. I'll stick with my knock-off IEC711 coupler, thank you

 

[drewbadour]

Ah interesting thats super helpful

If I like the yincrow x6 amount of bass, would that be berserker over saber then?

 

[JAnonymous5150]

I'll stick with my ears and leave my coupler packed away in the closet. I just haven't been much into the measuring thing lately. That's what I have you guys for lol!
