Really, FlySweep? Lofty claim!...lol... but you haven't really let me down in your sound descriptions yet (maybe one or two things, but that probably was more about it not being a sound signature I liked than your description being off).
 
So finally, mine FXD70 and FXD80 should be in the mail. Buying and shipping combined for both hit my pockets at $185 (I probably could have gotten $20 knocked off of that if I weren't being lazy and did some more work in finding them on my own). Based on what some of your are saying about the sound and build quality, however, I may still have gotten a good deal for both pairs. I hope to have some initial impressions by the end of next week.

  Reading this, I suggest given the chance to hear the SRH-1440 you would be smitten. I feel the FXD80 is balanced and the 1440 is tipped upwards in the mids. But I LOVE the 1440 and only LIKE the 1840/FXD80 . I am tempted to try the CKM500 as I suspect the mids will be more to my liking, but if the bass is stronger than FXD80 which are on the cusp of being to much for me I probably wouldn't be happy.

 
I'll try the 1440 one of these days; I definitely liked the 1840 quite a bit. However, yes, the CKM500 has quite a bit more bass than the FXD80. I don't think it's all that well controlled, either. The FXD80 is also at my limits for bass. For IEMs, the CK100PRO probably comes closest to my ideal FR response, if it was able to tame a few of the treble spikes it had.

I agree, which is why meelec tips were bought so the bass could be tamed as some forum members said the bass gets weaker, the mids and highs get better and the soundstage gets wider, I'll test it out later as I got the tips today.

What earphone are you referring to?

 

[vlenbo]

The ckm500s was what I referred to.

mmm anyone can compare the fxd80 with the yamaha 100??

Patience padwan. My jvc's are on the way, i'll post up here soon as i get a listen.

OK these definitely change as they burn in. The bass has almost completely settled down after a second night of burnin, the mids are also changing a bit I don't have time to try to determine exactly how or how to articulate the changes aside from saying they sound a bit fuller, the treble is also a bit less harsh.

I was wondering about this when I posted earlier but was not in a position to liten critically but there is definitely more change from yesterday.

The sound of these now lie in between my SRH-1440 and SRH-1840. tomscY2000 suggested a small u shape to the sound of these which I identified with. These seem to be losing that somewhat, I want to see how they continue to develop.

I concur . With burn in.

Well, it's always best to keep an open / experimental mind.

Been burning mine for 100+ hrs now, ...have resisted stealing a listen, like some chastity sort of thing, but I've noticed that the 'sound' (without putting them in my ears) have gotten louder and more pronounced.
 
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to inserting them in for the first time tonight, feels like a bridegroom on the wedding night ! ....I'm so excited I could pee !

 
Will report back on all the juicy details, later.

When mine show up, I'm going to disappear into the bathroom with the packaging and lock the door.

That's...what..she...said

Well since a burn-in cult is incepting surrounding these... which burn-in tracks are you guys using?  I always wanted to make a 16bit/192kHz track, to burn-in the 20kHz-96kHz area, even though we can't hear it, it should still 'decrystallize' the driver or whatever is supposed to happen and annoy dogs.

 

[Peterlovemusic]

someone said the fxd80 is even worse than fxd70 in some way...such as the clarity on treble...
 
isn't it?
 
I want to know,thanks!
