Even though I bought the af180 already. Would be good to hear your thoughts on both in a brief comparison? As the a83 were also on my list.

Shure cables will fit A83, but not the other way around.

I am seriously considering getting this set of IEMs, I contacted Fidue and Michael directed me to a representative locally. I am awaiting the local representative's response and I hope to audition this set of IEM. Looks really good!

Wow!!! Stunning pictures! Impressive!
Great photography! Thanks!
 
 

  Hi all, just finished my review of these beasties over on my blog.
 
Spending more focused time with these (and understanding what they're really about) has really opened my eyes. These are some really special IEMs!!

Great Review! Thanks!
The IEM looks very nice, but you mentioned it lacks of deep insertion. I often have deep insertion problem, like with my vSonic GR07 BE.
Really curios how it sounds compare to DUNU DN-2000.

Do you need deep insertion or prefer a more shallow fit?

I prefer deep insertion.

I prefer deep insertion.

 
The A83s do come with some nice double-flange silicone tips that might work well for you - they just didn't work for my ears.

so you said about Noble PR, but here (well, Vietnam), its price is double of A83's price (700 USD) so i can't compare them. What about Noble 3 ? It's fun, but v-shaped, and i listen to rock so i scare about mid (not forward enough). I'm a noob, busy saving money for my first IEM, so can you compare them for me (drive by Clip Zip/Sport and iPod straight) ? Sorry about my English, it's too long since my English class

. Thanks.

I haven't heard Noble 3 so can't comment, but A83 is great for every genre I tried I think.

I've also received AF180s today for review and they're quite different to A83s, but very, very good. AF180s are smooth and warm with excellent detail, but more shallow stage and less treble than A83s. I'll share more comparisons soon.

I actually felt that the stage was wider on the AF180's. Definitely warm and less treble than the A83's but found that it compliments the overall signature quite well with no fatiguing at all. I really admire the smooth strong mids. As for cable I may give it to Fidue but comfort in the ears goes to Audiofly.
