I got these because I forgot my Vsonic vc1000 somewhere and thought they would compare well. I have since gotten the VC1000s back and FAD heavenII are looking for someone I can pass them on to.
I have to admit that I am a little disappointed overall. They do not extend as low even if they are a bit more "low leaning", mids are less pronounced and they generally sound less alive across spectrum than the VC1000.
That said, the built quality is a big step up. I have had to super glue the VC1000s twice already. It feels like this will not happen with the FAD heavenII.
I have used them for about 60 hrs using the Microstreamer and HM601 as sources, FLAC files anything jazz, synth/surf pop, classical, dubstep and rock, - and many more hours of 320kbps progressive house. In my setup and preferences (and unwillingness to eq) the VC1000s are clearly the best. For further context, Compared to shure215 I would clearly choose the FADs. I also find the VC1000s better than VSONIC GR07 MKII, maybe because I cannot get a good seal with the latter.
