The stock tips for FXA5 Pro are incredibly bad quality, laughable even. Is it still possible to buy the original aurisonic tips?
I personally wouldn't classify the mids on the FXA7 as distant either. But I wouldn't classify them as too forward either... (anyone whos heard the asg-2.5's should know what forward mids sound like!) I owned the FXA2 for a month before I returned it for the FXA7's, so I heard the differences. The mids in the FXA2 are definitely more prominent and forward in my opinion to the FXA7, but I like the detail and overall sound signature of the FXA7's way more than the FXA2. To me, the FXA2 kind of lacked clarity and musical separation. But I must say, if you're a basshead, go with the FXA2. The bass was noticeably bigger than the FXA7, but not by much.
@pedronet- cough up the extra $200 for the FXA6. You'll get more clarity IMO.
I made a post about a page or two back stating that I had both of those problems (driver flex and mmxci issues), but I had found solutions to both of those problems.
As for the fxa2 vs fxa 6. I originally purchased the fxa 2 and like it a lot. However, I found a great deal on the fxa 6 (the forte) and went with those instead. Well worth the money. There is a very good difference in quality particularly with clarity, but the bass of the fxa2 is still every bit there.
Cheers!
but i can assure you, it can hit like a truck
Anybody heared both Harmony (FXA7) and Earsonics Velvet? From description they seem to be pretty similar.
Did the cleaning help?So i have been using my harmony for almost 6 months now...at around 3-4 months in, both the right and left started to have some hiss from time to time and recently sometimes sound was completely off on the left. I have to adjust the cable a little bit to get the sound back. So today i ddecided to clean the connectors and see if it will help. I wiped some of these black oily thing off. They were inside both the cable connectors and headphone connectors. Anyone know what those black liquid is? Where do they come from...is it the black paint falling off from the headphone body?
Yes it can!! So can the FXA7. And with a pure OCC Copper cable, it can hit even harder.
Oh and also as an FYI, for people that have the FXA7 and are thinking of getting an aftermarket cable, get copper, not silver. The silver makes an already bright IEM even brighter. Too bright in my opinion... It improves detail, clarity, depth and all that jazz, but with the extra extension in the highs, it's almost unbearable to listen to. Lol

Just saw a sale on slick deals (popular section) for the fxa 6 at $300 and fxa 5 at 200 on adorama. Prolly won't last so pick them up while you can.
two BA drivers ? No Dynamic Driver? No DD then no real slam.So I jumped the gun with Adorama FXA5 pro sale for $199. Based on reviews, I was expecting slam and kicking bass but that's not the case. Bass is there but no in the quantity that I expected. My velodyne vpulse and maybe even my IM50 have more bass then this. I will give it a week or two if sound does not change, I am returning this puppy.
Is FXA2 have more bass compared to FXA5?
