As far as differences go, the new cable material definitely feels better, but that of course can't be seen in photos. The IEM housings themselves look the same, and also feel the same to me. The 3.5mm plugs didn't change either.

Seeing as how it has been a few months...any idea when these might see the light of day? I get right to the point of actually buying the PFE's...and then think maybe I should get something like the Hippo VB or REO to go with my Sansa players...and wait.

I haven't heard anything new since then... hope they're hard at work.

I received the newer PFEs about two weeks ago and the casing looks and feels the same to me too. The cable is definitely improved although I kinda liked the feel of the the last cable. The newer cable feels somewhat rough and coarse.

Is the new cable longer than the one in the original PFEs?

 

[dfkt]

My new one is about 10cm longer than the old one, which comes in quite handy.

at last i've got my pfe but still the old batch, buy it quite lower price though.
just hope theres nothing wrong with it.

That is one of my dislikes of the PFE: the short cable. When I use them with my player in one of my trouser's pockets, they are almost completely streched.

I noticed that as well. Putting my player in my pocket was always a hassle with the short cable. They should make it about 10 cm longer.

That's why Sansa made the Clip

Eh, where? I can't find them anywhere below the regular $139.

Does anyone else find the little thing that you slide up and down to keep the L and R cables from getting tangled to be very stiff? I'm too scared to slide it in fear of damaging the cables at the Y split.

On a different note, I'd live to see a PFE vs FA DBA-02 shootout.

oh sorry forgot to tell that theres no phonak audeo authorized seller in indonesia, the only store that sell audio equipment here sell it approx $190.
thats quite a price so i buy from my friend who coming home from singapore for $140. naturally i got the street price but i find it much cheaper than buying it in my country.

Hey Noir7 - how does the Eterna compare to the PFE?
