I wouldn't have been surprised if these were 100-200 more.

I agree you know I was thinking we might surpass other appreciation threads if we keep this up.

I almost wish they were more so that people might receive them better.

This W3 owner appreciates the PFEs. No secret there. Not sure every W3/SE530/IE8/TF10 owner will feel the same. Average Joe is already leaning towards his IE8s after burn-in. I will never know, cause I won't spring for another IEM for a long time, unless it's a backup pair of PFEs. Maybe the IE8s do sound better, wider soundstage. etc. I have hit the proverbial IEM wall.

Same here I think I've reached 'perfection' but think about it how would the UE11's sound with their pretty price tag that reads 1150$. Hmmmm makes one think about a new pair of phones. Naw just kidding i'm sastified but Ive heard their the best, Martin rated them over the Phonaks they were the ONLY thing rated over the Phonaks. So....get were I'm going with this?

yep, they could seriously price this way higher and I'd still buy them (hope they aren't reading this and doomed future PFE owners

)

Lol but think about it, it might get them more recongnition. Stop some of the 'this phone is cheap is it worth it?'. Chitter Chatter. 200 would't be so bad. (LOOKS OVER HIS SHOULDER MAKING SURE NO PHONAK ENGINEERING CREW IS LISTENING.)

*Ahem.* Are you quite done yet?

 

[i_don't_know]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! !!!!


Phonak, keep the price low! On all your IEMs from now on as well. Take over the IEM industry. WE NEED YOU TO GIVE US POOR PEOPLE A SENSE OF TRUE PERFECTION!

Phonak = modest man's treasure.

Any headphone experts here? What could be the equivalent headphone to the Phonaks according to you? I'm enjoying them more and more and i start missing a bit their beautiful highs and their amazing clarity on my AT ES7... i'd like a phone that can be driven unamped. And ESW10 is way too expensive

 

[dfkt]

I would say a properly amped DT880 or K701 are somewhat similar to the PFE (sans the soundstage of course). Maybe some electrostat owners like Chi2 have an opinion about that too, but I don't want to go overboard here (and I don't own 'stats).

 

[mobbaddict]

Yeah i was just thinking of DT880... do bass have impact on these kind of phones? More or less than the Phonaks?
I was also thinking of Grados but i'm afraid of not having enough bass impact...

I think Great Dane said they are very similar to his Sennheiser HD650.

 

[dfkt]

I don't think they have much in common with the HD650 (my main phones which I know best and use the most)... the SE530 or Atrios are similar to the HD650, but I don't find the PFE to be that close.

 

[ethan961]

I almost bought a pair of Q-Jays right before reading about these. I don't care how comfy they are, if someone rates them just under $1100 customs then something is definately right.

 

[dfkt]

If you mean my spreadsheet, then yeah. The PFE certainly are better phones than the q-Jays in every aspect.
