Sure. It is a complicated tuning for me, as I consider myself a basshead when it comes to IEMs. I'm using the FA7S as I type, btw. To me, this has a neutral-bright signature. The FD5 is way more engaging than this set. BA bass can be very boring sometimes. On the good side, imaging is spectacular on this set.

The FA7S has taught me more about how our hearing adapts than anything else I have been reading/watching lately. First impression was: "boring A.F.". But persisted. Spent the last 2 weeks wearing them. Last night, pulled the FH9 from the case and it sounded muddy and boomy. :hear_no_evil: :smile:

If one is collecting IEMs with different sound signatures, this might be worth to look at. But very tricky to recommend indeed. I'm keeping it though.


I also look forward to the FA19.
FA7s is not boring,is just a relaxed presentation with tons of details on every spectrum.

But dont buy if you want something agressive.

My personal favourite.
