Just received mines in the mail today.  S9 > HEADSTAGE > JVC HA-FX700 review: Pending (haha).  So far.... AWESOME!!!

 
^^ Congrats. Worth the wait, no?

How well does the Arrow pair with low impedance IEMs and customs? I'm looking to get an Arrow mostly for the additional features it has, but I'm wondering if there is a hiss problem with sensitive IEMs. Also, is there channel imbalance at low volumes?

Got mine today!!  #2852
 
Immediate impressions:
-- Small
-- Lighter than I thought it would be
-- Excellent build quality
-- The switches have a nice sturdy feel to them
-- Sounds amazing (Fuze > Arrow > HD600)
 
More impressions to follow after many hours of play time.

I want mine too!!
 
Happily I have Hornet and MKI in my hands. Otherwise it would be very painful to wait..

Nice to know as the FX700 is about the only IEM still on my radar.

No hiss with IEMs that hiss on other setups, no channel imbalance either on my HE G1.

A question from me;
 
How does the impedance setting change the sound? Is that only for removing hiss on sensitive IEMs or changes soundsignature?

 

[Mediaogre]

The Arrow has excellent impedance matching. I have SE530s and have no hiss with IMP 0 and GAIN II. It's phenomenal. Slight, and I say slight imbalance at the lowest level of the pot on the left channel. It's so tiny though it could easily be my ears. Seriously, not an issue which others who have performed extensive testing will back me up on.

As you bump the impedance up, you'll lose some highs.

Sounds good, thanks for the input. It looks like I will be ordering one as soon as break is over.

 

[proedros]

I am about 95% set on ordering one too - F%$k it , i was gonna buy one sooner or later - might as well be sooner

Has anyone compared the 1G with 2G or 3G?  I have a 1G, I haven't listened to it for weeks. Listening to it now on my UE10Pro, it sounds pretty good.

 

[wuwhere]

I was just at Headphonia's site, I can upgrade my 1G to 3G for just $25? What a deal!

 

[SoulSyde]

The auto on/off feature is awesome!  I would certainly be upgrading if I were a 1G owner.
