nice, pls do share the results soon :)

Okay, after 6 responses today, replies are as follows:
  • How big of an issue is the 'forward midrange' on a scale from 1-10? (1 = No big deal, 10 = Deal Breaker)
    • Average Response: 3
    • Min/Max Responses: 1/8
  • Are there any other issues outside the forward midrange?
    • Bass Politeness (Only if not using the Bass tips)
    • Recessed treble (User is used to brighter signatures.)
    • None
    • None (And no issues with Midrange either)
    • Lack of mid bass.
    • Rolled off, non-airy treble creates smaller soundstage.
  • How would you rate the value of the FH5 from 1-5? (1 = not worth MSRP and 5 = worth more than the MSRP. By extension, 3 = worth exactly MSRP)
    • Average: 4.16
    • Min/Max: 4 (5 Responses) / 5 (1 Response)
It's not conclusive by any means but helps put things in perspective between different reviews, I think?

I'm liking these FH5's alot. You get a whole lot for your money, both in sound and accessories. Swapped out the stock cable with regular copper wires and like the sound better that way when jamming to old school Shabba Ranks. Didn't like the sound much coming straight out of my V20 vs the sound coming out of the Q5.

Back on topic. The FH5 arrived at my local retailer and I’ll go buy tomorrow to demo it and post impressions/comparisons with other IEMs in its price range.

It seems like the headphone bar near me has it in stock too!! I will definitely be stopping by after work today to give it a try for myself! :ksc75smile:
