Interesting find.

JVC HA-FD01 カナル型イヤホン CLASS-S SOLIDEGE (JP￥39,151 or around $350)
VC Inner Ear Headphones "SOLIDEGE 01 inner" HA-FD01 ($530)

It's looks something really special maybe a game changer ,

New buds in the house!

I also have the QC30 I bought last year so expect a comparison between the 2 in a week or 2.

Initial impressions are very positive.

I was worried about the neck horse shoe since I don't like the QC30's horse shoe. But Sony has nailed this very well. Sony made theirs more U shaped versus the Bose round shape. This makes the Sony less shifty and stable. If you have a larger neck the Bose would accommodate it better though.

Sonically speaking the WI1000X sounds very good with that Sony house sound. I don't think it has the 3D presentation of the Z5 but has similar bass, mids, and treble. I will do a more thorough discussion later after these have been burned in.

I like that I can use these wired or wireless. They immediately paired using Aptx HD and when I switch to prioritize stability versus sound the difference in detail is apparent.

I also found that disabling the noise cancelling never affected the signature, an issue I have with other NC products I own or have owned or tried.

Haven't used these outside yet or for a phone call. Will update as I use them more...

You're putting my vacarious $$$ to good use! Looking forward to further impressions as time goes on. Thanks.

I’ve been enjoying the Beyerdynamic Byron BT for awhile now and no issues. Good sound too.

Thanks @DannyBai. May i know how is the sound sig of the Byron BT.

Can't believe what I am seeing. Got my Hunters shipped from TA. Can't believe it!!

Hallelujah!!​

Oh man what a surprise. I lost just about all hope.

You are a lucky person , i think you are going to get a Hunter X ,

 

[Dsnuts]

Who knows. I am just glad they are sending something. Which is better than nothing for over a year. Will be so happy to close that chapter. Now I wait for the inevitable Geek Wave which I have been waiting for going onto 4 years?! Lol.

It’s consumer sound but not bloated or bad in any way. Nice and even. Vocals come through fine, treble is relaxed and is not super bass heavy. Bass is fairly tight too. I use an iPhone with good quality files which probably helps. Much better then I expected for bt.

@Dsnuts, I hate to make predictions (they've been wrong on this front before), but I think things are actually moving at LH Labs. Seems Larry is back at work (don't know what they've been doing these past 3-4 years, but...). They have a new customer relations, Jarek, who's really responsive (he CALLED me to go over my orders!). I think they have some big deals they'd like to complete (heard something about Tesla, also possible project with Campfire Audio), and I think it's hard for them to go forward without getting their old backers off their back. Nothing guaranteed, of course, but looks more positive than it has in a loooooooooooong time. (doesn't mean something is coming out next week, but I think the Wave beta may go to testers in the next month or so, but don't quote me).

 

[Dsnuts]

Ya it is about damn time LH got the ball rolling. Can't believe how long it has taken them to get to this stage. Been reading the updates and it does look like it will happen.

I have certainly learned a lot about preordering stuff. Get me once, maybe twice a third time. Not gonna happen. LH and TA are the last time I back anything for preorder. The only preorder sucess that is actually reliable is Massdrop. Otherwise it will be no more from me.

Speaking of Massdrop :

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/50534

I've ordered pair for my growing Sennheiser collection, I'll let you guys know how they compare to the rest in six months time

 

[Mr Trev]

I keep waiting for the Massdrop IE8x / IE8xx (seriously, why not. They're doing every other Senn model)

 

[jant71]

A Massdrop IE80S at a fairer price, say $249 instead of $349, might be nice.
