Yes they will.

Do you happen to have some on-hand? If so could you tell me how wide the tip opening is with respect to the FXT90's nozzle?

I'll check this evening and let you know.

Well well well!! What do you know? Although they told it could take three weeks to a month to get my FXT90 from BuyJapan, to my surprise I received them in the mail today. That's 11 days from the time the carrier received the package to landing in my mail room. I haven't heard them yet. I'll get back to you in an hour or two (perhaps less) with very initial impressions.

Hello! Please, compare these to the GR07 ones,ok? Really waiting for your review.

 

[ericp10]

Really really first impressions (with just 20 minutes - so take with a grain of salt):
 
- bass seems deeper than the GR07 (but this could just be because it has more of an audible mid-bass hump). bass is deep and not muddy.
 
- notes are thicker (as been stated by previous owners). the sound is more aggressive and more colored (again, as stated by earlier owners).
 
- nice clarity in the sound and that jvc trademark timbre. i'm really loving the timbre of the saxophone (clearly a winner over the gr07, and i like the horn instruments coming out of the vsonic, but there is no competition when hearing it from the fxt90 - and this before any type of burn-in. wow!)
 
- mids are are not recessed like they are in the fx700, and i'm really happy about that. gr07mids are more forward, however than the fxt90. at this point i like the gr07 mids a tad more, but that could change)
 
- treble is more forward and a bit harsher in the fxt90 than in the gr07, but i detact no sibilance yet.
 
- drums are quite nice, but i'm not quite ready to say that the drum are better than the gr07. drum are nice in both.
 
- vocals...vocals....seems like there is more clarity in the jvc's vocals, but the gr07 vocals are more forward and in front of the music. this is a toss up right now. both vocals are nice but presented differently.
 
- guitars are outstanding!!! i remember thinking the guitars were killer in the fx700, and i get the same chills with the fxt90.... guitars are also excellent with the gr07, but a flatter sound. i give the edge to the fxt90 (this is electric guitars...i haven't gotten to acoustic guitars or strings yet).
 
so very initial impressions is that these iems aren't hype up in being more than they are. it's a very exciting iem and already exceeds my expectations.

 Strings are excellent. Try the jays silicone or monster foam tips for drum goodness. 
 
So I'm 2 for 2, no?

 

[nipit]

Thanks for your comparison. Which ones do you prefer right now , gr07 or these?

You're almost 2 for 2.....lol

Okay okay.. these are quite good, so I'll agree that you're 2 for 2 (FlySweep also helped sell me on these). As I stated earlier, I'm not ready to state they are better than the GR07 though, but it's on par with the Vsonic in its own way.

I have no preference at this point. Depends on what you want. If you want more bass and heavier notes all around, I think these would suit you. If you are into the best realistic sounding horns, these definitely. If you like great clear vocals that are more forward than the rest of the instruments, the GR07.

What's your source Eric?

I've got SQ ratings on my profile. I have them equal but I prefer the JVC's. And I prefer them both to the fx700 and ex1000, even though those are technically better. The gr07 and fxt90 fit my preferences better.

I'm at work, so right now just my iPad 2 direct. I haven't even tried to plug them into the my 120gb iPod Classic yet.

iPad 2 is a good source for these, even better than the classic ill say.
