FI-BA-SS imo, didnt rate the LAB 1 at all tbh

I owned the Lab1 and to my taste it was the most overrated iem I heard.

Can't agreed more! Even multiple drivers iems are no match to this FI-BA-SS!

How would the fibass compare to the ex1000? Thanks in advance.

You are absolutely right!

I own both, I would say Fibass bests ex1000 in several areas,
i.e. mids, highs, separation, isolation (not that ex1000 has any), etc
 
While the ex1000 definitely has better bass and a much more realistic presentation of music.
Fibass is tuned with a preference for female vocals and pianos in mind I think

On top of what others have said, I would add Lab2 to the top of everyone's list... its something you have to try to believe...
it has no isolation at all, and things sounds more distant than what I am used to from an IEM,
but its weirdly euphoric and "heavenly" (don't know how to describe it).
Definitely something that FAD must be applauded for, since its the only IEM that has achieved such a sound IMO.

My understanding is it is MMCX  - it's similar to what they use on the Lab 02
 
- I read it as the MMCX  parts designed have much better build than most MMCX  - to withstand usage of 50,000 bends rather than 5000
 

 
Maybe I am misunderstanding ?
 
One thing is for sure the AKR02 model failed in terms of cable for a number of people - including myself, so I would be surprised if they used the same connector as the AKR02

 
Looks like I may have been mistaken by the badly translated Japanese to English. 
 
My FI-BA-SST35 arrived today and cable looks fixed on initial inspection!
 
A little worried about really pulling the cables to see if they are detachable, will do a more detailed inspection over then next few days and update you guys.

Do you have some Ocharaku iems to compare them with. Please give me some feedback.

I have many Ocharaku earphones, when I get time will let you know

 

[CH23]

well that just happened.
 



EDIT: I'm glad that cyanoacrylate (superglue) exists. Fixed it.

Question, I am keen to get my hands on the piano forte x. I currently have the heaven IV, vi, vii, and viii, with the iii currently being delivered. Should I complete the set and wait for a year to get it or should I sell all of them and buy it sooner ( like in a month's time, as I've already made some big purchases this month). I also have the fi-ba-ss which I intend to keep. Thoughts?

Sell everything and buy PF X! They can radically change your perception of headphones.

not so fast....the PFX is a radically different aproach than the heaven series....it can't replace the heaven iems specially in terms of your listening habits...i have the H4, and plan on going up to H6,H8, or FI-BA-SS....i also have the PF2, and i'm not sure i will go up the range...Not that i don't like the presentation or the sq of PF....but i can't really find the time and space for them...these are completely open iems, and must be listened in a quiet environment....the heavens i can listen in the bus, in the office, on the street....Think about that before you sell your gorgeous collection...

 

[gtrx333]

Okay I think I'm going to hold off selling my heaven series for the time being, gonna try and get rid off other stuff first. Any difference or preference between the pfx gold and chrome copper?
