How does the HA-FR201-P compare to the FX101?
They're the same besides the mic.
How does the HA-FR201-P compare to the FX101?
Ordered these on the fact that I wanted to believe the hype about the bass. Seal was great out of the box and the bass is giant, tight and the most bass I have heard in an iem. More than my monster turbine pro golds. Listening to the begininning of aldo nova fantasy (dont judge) is just fantastic. Unfortunately now the bad, anything with highs for me just did not sound good at all. Spoons the underdog is just not clear up there, sounds are running together, not clear, very harsh. Switch to the pretty reckless make me wanna die just can not handle all of the different sounds on the high end and they just seem may too bright and even distorted. Gave them to my son to try just for fun and he gave them back and said the worst headphones he's ever heard. Maybe if all your music resides in the low/mid area with no highs, these will be the bass boomers you want want but the top end is just terrible. Wish they were not packed in a package that you have to cut open so I could return them but they were only $16.
I will give that a shot, does breaking them in usually allow the highs to mellow out and become more detailed?
Have had them burning in for 5 days staight on my iPod played at about 5/6th volume, just tried them again and the highs are so harsh and combined together you can hardly pick out any differences in the upper freq. the bass seemed to have a mellowed a touch. Buckcherry-slit my wrists, rhino bucket-she's with me, the pretty reckless-make me wanna die, the high (cymbals etc.) are still just brutal. Spoon- the underdog is not bad but the instruments after daily separate and not much in the high area to speak of. I'll try a few more days of break in but don't see these used for too many music styles.FX101 s. As in one of them in various colors. Give your FX1X a good burn in and try again. They should improve. All JVC earphones need burn in. Including their headphones.
