Didn't we agree that we wouldn't have memes on this thread?

In this case it was warranted.

But you was so sure that the 1.1 had a fliter you even "confirmed it". Now your doing memes as if to say you knew this all along.

Actually, the issue for 1.0 was peaky mids and resonances caused by the shell. 1.1 tried to address it with filters (it was basically a beta version of 1.2). 1.2 finally got rid of it by dampening the shell and adding filters. There was never any driver flex issue that I was aware of.

There were absolutely driver flex issues with the first ASG-1's. I know this from first hand experience. Most of the people who got in on the first order had driver flex.

Just jumping in here.
I'm finding the ASG-1 really interesting what with that huge driver and the interesting fit.
I do find the "keep in mind the target audience" warnings and such a little daunting. Am i correct in assuming these are in fact top-tier phones quality-wise? Or is their sound novel...
 
I've got a question:
with the 1.2 revision, is EQing for soundstage, balance, quality still necessary?
I only ask because I'm not one for EQing. To me, it just seems like a headache and i always end up fiddling around with the settings never quite happy. I've gotten to the point where either i like headphones, or move on to something new.
otherwise i might as well wait and see what the ASG-2 has in store.
 
thanks

Absolutely top tier in my opinion. Though at that level, subjectivity is greatly increased as most IEM's at that level are very technically capable, they will all have different ways of presenting music.

I remember about 3 or 4 people who had issues with them. Saying that most people had issues with them is a gross overstatement.

Not sure what you're saying.
 

 

[Swimsonny]

I meant when I said maybe theres no confirmed difference.

Oh just leave it, finish.

Oh, I didn't know you had first had knowledge of the first shipment of ASG1's. Just because there weren't a lot of posts about it, doesn't mean it wasn't happening. But you seem to know more about it than the people who sold them to me, so I guess you must be right.

So much hostility over technicalities that are in the past. Just let it go and enjoy the sound.

Yeh,sorry about that folks!

I guess I shouldn't feel so deficient by wondering what model I should have purchased? Had some trouble following along before ...

I concur on both accounts.  Mine also had driver flex issue.
 
At the rate of these posts are going, I'm looking forward to it getting locked down.

 

[eke2k6]

Right. Sorry for the OT, but I'm just arguing my point.
 
Let's all just enjoy the ASG-1
