thats the natural physiology of the body...Its called the attenuation reflex and involves involuntary contraction of the tensor and the stapedius muscles to decrease the amount of sound reaching your inner ear...
When u change the filters u are simply giving the muscle time to come back to its original relaxed state...

Would anyone who has the PFE and SA6 care to comment on how they compare?

Thanks in advance

Got myself a pair today. Definitely good stuff.

This being my first time with IEM's, I was a bit skeptical. But these sound awesome!!!!


I'm using them with Corda Headsix. They seem to match very well.

I'm using the out of the box grey filters and the Comply tips. I think I'm gonna stick to them. The black filters bring out a bit more bass that what I prefer. Also, the silicon tips tend to enhance the treble a tiny bit, which in turns pushes back the mids.

I looooveeee them..

wait.. you're going to stick with the grey filters even tho you said black filters bring out more bass and that's what u prefer?

 

[aTOOL]

Exactly!!!

I meant the black filters bring out a bit more bass than "what I prefer". I prefer cleaner Mids and highs.

Personal preference my friend

 

[koven]

oh i get it now... you put "that" instead of "than" in your original post.. which caused my confusion

My bad..am a bit too engrossed in listening to these phones right now..hardly able to concentrate on other stuff

^Sounds like a good excuse.

Team Phonak, I'M BACK BABY! I got a little extra dough & immediately purchased a replacement pair of the PFE's to fill in for the previous pair that died out on me. Got an E5 amp to go with it this time. A teary reunion it will be indeed.

Great to see you with a pair again. It didn't seem right... having you go without

couldn't resist. Like I've stated before, PFE = aural cocaine

Once a PFE-head, always a PFE-head.


Welcome back.

Are these phones reliable? I've been seeing a lot of issues. What's their warranty policy?

 

[i_don't_know]

Reliability seems semi-average at this point (but expect improvements in the future considering how Phonak seems to operate), but they have a 2-year warranty and GREAT customer service.


And the only issues I can think of are:
-cables breaking from sweat and body oils
-that weird hole in the housing (which apparently Phonak are looking into)
-a couple IEMs failing after a short period of time, likely due to a manufacturing defect


...all have been resolved easily with an easy, virtually instant (besides shipping) replacement.
