Mine arrived from Frogbeats today. A couple of initial observations:
1. The version that Frogbeats is shipping comes in the same carrying case as the FA-003/-002w/etc, which is nice. However, it doesn't have the cable extension, which isn't so great. I talked to David and he said that they've already asked Fischer if they can fix this for future shipments and they're considering sending out an extension to everyone who didn't get one. Apparently Fischer didn't include a 1/4" adapter either, but Frogbeats was nice enough to throw one of those in for all of them. They're also the darker wood edition, if that matters to you, though mine still have a noticeable amount of red in certain light.
2. Not the most comfortable cans ever. The pads are too shallow, even for my relatively flat ears. Stock clamping force is a bit higher than my HD555s. I saw a suggestion somewhere in this thread (I think) to cut up an old CAT5 cable and use that to stuff under the pads for increased clearance, and I happened to have one lying around, so I tried it out. Upside is increased clearance - my ears have a bit more space to work with now, but it comes at the cost of increased clamping force. Still not a perfect fix, but better than stock.
3. Oh god, the bass!
I don't consider myself a basshead, but the bass that these have is so much fun
Better yet, it doesn't seem to bleed into the midrange too much, so highs and vocals can still take center stage when they're supposed to.
4. Build quality is mostly good. Only two complaints here: The metal name plates on the cups look like they have dirty fingerprints on them. I'll try to clean them off tomorrow. The pads have some nicks and scratches in the side pleather. No big deal though - they aren't actual cut through or anything.
5. The pads are difficult to work with. I tried to pull them off to see if I could replace them with the pads off of my Turtle Beach Z2 since the pads look to be about the same diameter, but a bit thicker (my original idea to fix the pad touching problem), but i discovered that the pads are attached to the frame, possibly by accident, at the bottom of the ear cup. The rest of the pad came off fine, but when I gave the bottom a little tug, the edge of the pad started ripping. I gave up after that, but I haven't been able to get the pad completely back in on one side. It stays put, but only barely.
6. Good synergy so far with the E10, though the bass boost isn't really needed.
Edit: I was writing this at 1 am, so, naturally, I forgot something. I tried the FA-011 with my Xonar U3, but it didn't have the juice to drive them. Volume was maxed out and they were still slightly below my normal listening level.
