100+ Head-Fier
All right. I've spent about 24 hours with these Pro critters. Gotta say though, in comparison to my E17K+Havi B3 Pro I combo, these do not have the same vocal warmth/euphonics.
Vocals are quite thin, while Havis have thick, sweet, syrupy female vocals. Soundstage x-axis is very slightly narrower but z-axis is wider. I noped out of the original black tips. The red-black bass tips accentuate only sub-bass without disturbing the rest.
Right now I'm rocking the foam tips. Treble is still a little more tissy than Havis. I guess the only differences these have compared to the Havis are thinner vocals, build quality and replaceable cables.
Sadly, I still prefer the Havis, because mids galore, man. I'll give myself some time to get used to these F9 Pros. Gotta get used to a non-laid back sound sig. Good job, Fiio, all the same.
I could go crazy with the Havis and +6 the treble. With these, I gotta be careful though. But hey, replaceable cables, strong aluminium body, an almost close sound to the other one, what's not to like?
