Harmony does amazing with rock and metal more so then the 2.5, I can't comment on the forte or kicker because I haven't heard them

 

[jmills8]

does the harmony work with those genres as well? or is it tuned more for classical music?

Perfect with Bury Tomorrow, Confession, Feed Her To The Sharks. The Harmony has the bass and nice mids but it has extended treble for the guitars.

Nice input. I have listened to Feed her to the sharks and liked them. Harmony better than Forte for metal? I liked the red color of the forte more but if harmony is better im willing to compromise.

Forte is great it just has smoother treble and Harmony has higher treble. Try this band - REFLECTIONS.It has great sub bass that only a few iems can really produce the sub bass.

I'm also struggling on either I should purchase Forte or Harmony. I listen to various kinds of metal and rock music. Can I assume Forte and Harmony provide the same quality bass? Would you mind describing the difference between smooth treble and higher treble?

same bass but due to the Harmony having an aditional BA Driver which gives it more treble one will focus on all of the sound so it will seem more balanced. The Forte will have lass extended treble but its treble will still be detailed but its treble wont go to high so its treble will be rounded . Its mid will seem a bit upfront and ones focus might be more on its mids and bass.

How does the harmony compare to the dunu dn1000?

Thanks for your reply. So can I assume harmony would give a more V shaped sound signature?

sort of due to its mids not being forwards. I would state it as being closer to balanced on steroids cause its bass is strong when called for.

well I got the Kicker, ASG-1+, and ASG-1.5's in from Hifiheadphones, along with my #1 ASG-2's, the ee ee 2.5's, and the rockets,
 
and now I know for certain that I have nnooo desire to hear any more of the new line up? they can't stand up to the original DD, even the ASG-1.5's make the Kickers sound scooped out and hollow,

Just received my second pair of ASG-2.5s in black from the hifiheadphones sale. I jumped at the deal because it doesn't appear that I'll get the chance to buy them new unless Fender/Aurisonics resurrects them. Last year I also bought (and returned) the Kicker, Forte and Harmony. They don't have the bass quantity I've come to expect from the 2.5 and the treble was too much for me, save the Kicker which lacked clarity. The 2.5 is the perfect sound signature for me with a ton of bass, no bleed into the mids, and laid back treble.

I may try the Fender offerings sometime in the future but I don't have an interest in the rebranded Bravo series. I hope they remake the 2.5 or come up with a new TOTL premium offering. It would also be cool to see CIEMs again. It would seem a natural fit for 2 companies built around musicians.

I also hope Fender improves on a couple aspects of Aurisonics. I found their quality control to be lacking. I got my first 2.5s through another Head-Fi user in Hong Kong. They were new in brushed nickel but the manufacture date was from Dec 2014 - I guess they sat on the shelf a while. One ear had nicks in the nickel finish and one side (maybe the same, can't remember) had off-center holes for the 2-pin connector which didn't allow me to push the pins in all the way. I opened a warranty claim and will get them back tomorrow after ~6 weeks, so we'll see. My new black pair were manufactured in Dec 2015 and has the same issue with the connector holes being off-center, so I'll be opening a warranty claim on them as well.

Lastly, the Aurisonics website has always been pretty poor. I was buying the Bravo series on Amazon while the website said "Coming Soon!" People here were saying the 2.5 was discontinued while there was nothing to indicate that on the website. Now, there's no mention of Fender anywhere on their website. If someone goes there intent on spending money (like I did with the Bravo series) they won't be able to find anything in stock and will move on. Maybe at least redirect to Fender's IEM store page?

Really enjoying my Harmonys. I think i would probably have been in the other camp had i got the asg2.5 and found them to have too much bass and not enough treble.
Was tempted by them, but think I made the right choice.
