Hi, any chance you have heard the fiio fh3 as well? In that case which one would you choose between h40 and the fh3? Going to be my first serious iem purchase. I use soundmagic e10c for now.

FH3 and H40. I would say both earphones are nicely representative of their price points. FH3 is what I consider a technical yet fun sounding earphone. Meaning it has lots of bass. Cohesion of the sonics are not as good as the H40. H40 has one of best musical presentations out of the box. FH3 need burn in and a good cable imo for them to really strut their stuff. Stock cable is OK but not the best for the FH3.
Honestly I would go for which ever you can afford. FH3 is a good solid earphone and I think you will be happy with either purchase. Matter of likes is really a preference thing with earphones. If your a bass guy I would try the FH3. It doesnt have the expansive stage or immersion factor of the H40 but not bad in those departments.

I just bought the D02 from Penon. With the 20% introductory discount coupon they sent me making it cheaper than the FiiO FD1 I bought last week it was just too hard not to do it.

So tempting, but I must resist. Too many recent acquisitions. Did we all get individual coupon codes, or is it something we can share?

Nobody asked for the coupon code so far but I guess it's OK to share it since they don't ask not to in their email.

They are not likely to be at that price again so, even though, like you, I spent too much on IEMs lately, I still grabbed them as I'm interested in checking them out

So the D02 is here.....with its tuning switch. We know that ISN will supply a good cable with the D02. As for the tuning switch they say:-

"Equipped with a switch for 2 tuning styles. Switch up is suitable for vocals and acoustics. Switch down is suitable for edm and rock".

That's some difference. It's going to be interesting, but there is a lot of competition in this price range. I hope they do an iBasso and release this cheaper IEM, the D02, that will compete with it's higher echelon offerings. It was brave of iBasso to offer the it00, such a high quality IEM for the price. Will ISN Audio do the same with the D02. I really hope so. Exciting.

You bought them?

You bought them?

Yes....ordered them this morning. Got the 'email' from Penon. I'm leaking money on IEMs at the moment. I'll end up in Newgate Prison, the debtors prison if I don't stop. Still nice way to go. I mean ordered this morning.

 

[Dsnuts]

Interesting implementation of the sound switch. If the switch up is for vocals and instruments probably boosts mid range forwardness. And goes to a more V shaped tuning with the switch off. I would assume. I will be getting my set soon as well. Should be interesting. Looking forward to them.

 

[tgx78]

I ordered the D02 as well

 

[dharmasteve]

We are a trusting bunch. There isn't any review of the D02 yet, is there? ISN have made a good name for themselves.

 

[feverfive]

Anyone know if we can soon expect ISN to release an (attempt to) upgrade the H40? I like what I've read so far about this set, but I'm pretty sure I'll be wanting something that is more resolving (I'm not talking fake "detail" with boosted treble, to be clear). Also not all that interested in having to mod something beyond trying new tips/cable these days. I, right or wrong, have moved on from my inquisitive/adventurous twenties, hahaha. I have so much to learn about all these brands.

Seems like the ISN D02 is just released. To sum it up, this is a very engaging sounding IEM with quick bass decay and moderate rumble, clear and transparent midrange, crisp treble and nice soundstage expansion. There is a switch to fine-tune the sound for more or less warmth. Like the H40, I can say this is a winner too.

Would you say that sound overal is beyond its price range???

At last someone who has heard it.....hooray. We all bought it blind. You have listened to them for us, and I'm excited because we trust you. Looks another winner.
