FIDUE A83 impressions and discussion thread

[Midgetguy]

   
If 3-way A83 msrp price is $349, do you think 5-way SIRIUS price will be the same or $50 more?  Wishful thinking, right?

Well.....Fidue is Chinese and they somehow manage to cut prices. Maybe the guys have Fidue have figured out how to make this a successor to the A83 while making it sound a tier up? Wishful thinking

And THIS.
 

 
These look rather nifty. If they've improved the fit, and the sound quality even just a little more then wow!

Fidue's Weibo page I linked one page ago (more precisely one of their posts) gives information about the MSRP if the google translator did not made an error.

Those connectors look awesome. MMCX + Sony EX-1000 style screw in combined into one

According to the same source they're going for a balanced sound signature and a really large soundstage, and spent 700 days of research on these.

In Fidue I trust.

Everything I've heard so far has been excellent, with the exception of the a33.

Even the a65 was excellent.

So true, Vince.

That cable I purchased for my A83 many months ago is for sale.
 
I'm not using it any longer since moving onto other earphones.
 
The sale is only for Australia however, any A83 owners can contact me, I'll ship it out to your location.
 

 
Sales in my signature.

This looks amazing.... any dates on these beauties?
 
I wonder if this is going to challenge the likes of Campfire Andromeda

Awesome thread, guys.
 
I'm on my second pair of A83's and they're incredible, but the left ear has dropped out again, unfortunately.  
 
Luckily for me they're in warranty, but this will be the third pair in 5 months.  
 
It's a disappointing aspect of these fantastic 'phones.

Do you have a cable/connection issue or defective earpiece?  Have you tried swapping L/R shells to see if the problem follows the earpiece or stays with a cable side?

I believe it to be something to do with the cable/connection as it comes and goes with a little pressure on the round cable part next to the ear piece.
 
No, I've not swapped it round at all - As it was under warranty, I though the best idea is imply to get new ones.
 
Thanks for the reply though, that's something I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
