thats how they sound with the foam tip, maybe i need to drill a bigger hole on those tips?  anyway,  i loved my FX40 for months, but the 70 and 80's are HUGE step foward.

 
Ok, thanks. I think that you actually might be onto something with the "bigger hole" thought, because sometimes when I put the iem in my right ear, it sounds very muffled - like it's not working properly - and once I shift it around a bit, it comes to life. Not really sure what that's about (hopefully not a faulty wire), but maybe the hole is gets closed off or something. Anyway, I'm keeping the 70's/80's in mind for sure.

I wouldn't call the D70 better than the D80. At this point I would actually call them equals but with different sound signatures.

 

[ericp10]

Now if you are going by better meaning one is more 3-D, then the D80 wins easily.

Oh man after some good amount of intense burn in, these FXD70s are finally starting to open up. Needs less volume to get that enjoyable sound on my ipod nano, and the bass seems to have gotten a bit bigger/ tighter. The mids on these things are just crazy all over your face-like with tons of amount of sparkle on the highs. WOW, man i am gonna cook these in for wayyy more to get them really nice and loose. Scared of how much they might improve tbh.

Yes, FXD70 and 80's  it sounds tinny, harsh.. treble hot , lack of detail to much bass compared to the 70`s and 80's-   I am laughing as i type thinking about how much i used to love those things. 

 
I wouldnt buy the S400 in your case, go for the 70 or 80's.  They sound even better and are more techincal than the S500.

 
sfwalcer tipped me off to the 70's on ebay for $60 (free shipping). Stupid good price. So the 70's it is!
Cheers sfwalcer!

That sounds about right. DO IT!!!!

 
edit: Rick hasn't even given these FXD proper impressions yet, been just around crazily spreading nonsense about how he loves the 70s over the 80s. Hey Rick you owe us a couple of essays on your take on these meng.

Lol! Here's a deal... I won't get the 200's as long as you don't

So it seems like you are still happy with your 70's. Cool!

Mental note: burn in those puppies!
