Nothing better than some Nat King Cole + FA7s, to calm the nerves, after a near miss with Hurricane Dorian

Is your EQ with more added bass?wow.

Having spent two weeks straight with the Audiosense T800, I came back to my FA7 again and agree that it is one of the best (I EQ to the usound curve posted on this thread) IEM for relaxed listening + good resolution. It's really smooth and the fit and isolation is the best for me, I can wear this all day long.

Though the price should have been much lower, as the T800 which is the same price is miles beyond the FA7 on overall technicalities. At $200 and less mid-bass bleed, this IEM would have been more competitive.

Not really, if you don't like FA7, changing AM3A to AM5 won't make you like them, the two modules are close enough in overall tonal balance to not change the base character of FA7

I've sold my FH5's due to the fit and am starting to get used to and liking the sound of the FA7. I'm interested in the FH7, but I've read they are a bit treble orientated.

I'd like an IEM for under £500 that would match the X7ii and hopefully, it's replacement.

Having heard both FA7 and FH7, I would say I'll prefer the FA7 mainly due to the sealing. FH7 simply refuses to sit well in my ears which makes the upper-mids sound sharp. There is noticeably more trebles in the FH7 in my opinion, but also greater headroom.

 

[397324]

So a similar fit to the FH5?

 

[SynchroFantasia]

They look similar from images online. Never tried the FH5 so I'm not too sure

 

[397324]

I'm going by the pictures as well. The FH5 sounds good, but the fit is so marginal. OK at home if you keep pushing them in, but for me, forget out and about or the gym. This is using spacers to increase the insertion depth as well.

 

[SynchroFantasia]

Well, I did use FA7 as my dailies for some time, the isolation is simply way better. FH7 has vents since it runs a dynamic (If I'm not mistaken) which would also pose a problem going out and about since the whole point of a tight fit is to keep sound out.

Deleted.

TBH - I'd take the FA1 over the FA7 for OOTB sound. Same fit, better tonality - miles cheaper.

FH7 definitely a good option if you value a more neutral sound. Another one to consider is the Fearless S8 Freedom. Really good IEM.

Any ETA for the FH7 review?

 

[397324]

Seconded.

 

[Brooko]

Sorry - its mostly written (BTW - I really rate it). My problem is the current hours I'm working and the amount of time I'm travelling lately.

 

[397324]

Good to know you rate it. Some reviews have mentioned it's a bit treble orientated. Does it have a deeper fit than the FH5? If not, I'll look for something else.

Fits about the same. Whats your budget, and what are you looking for?

 

[397324]

I'll jog on if the fits about the same as the FH5. I'd like a detailed sound that has good bass and an overall warmer than neutral signature. Budget is about £500 if I can purchase from the UK and get the UK VAT off, as I live in the Channel Islands.
