Well It has been a while but I actually have something on order but I just read up on these new JVCs. I might not be the first to get them but I have to try them out. Might snap them up used or wait a bit to see if prices goes down. In any case they look real interesting. I am sure there will be plenty of hype on them to read about when they come out.

Yeah, judging by the over 6 pages of pre-release hype within 24 hours, I think you'll have something to read lol!

^ burn-in does not work for/ with ALL gears due to the differences of materials/ different techs used. But CNT materials for sure improves with more burn-in due to it's stiff physical nature. And have you re-listened to that 1st pair of MH1Cs you said was junk and see how they sound now??? C'mon man, at least report back with some more impressions, instead this fool toss them into the trash. LMAO.  What a scientific way to handle things, c'mon mr. science guy.

Oh a scientist can be as irrational as the next guy.  
 
nope...tossed them also.  Some iem guy got on my nerves so I refuse to own a pair of iems he's biased for.

How many hours you got on them now? I got just over 200 on mine. Just under 100 to go, woo hoo!
biggrin.gif

Probably around 200. I haven't been keeping track, but that sounds about right. I think they need 500-600 hours for completion. I can't believe how stiff these drivers are.
 
Impressions:
So far the vocals are starting to move forward (thank GOD!!); they were pretty recessed before. Also the sound has smoothed out a lot, but it still kind of harsh. I'm waiting for the bass to fill out because it still has sort of a clicky sound, but it hasn't changed too much yet. The instrument separation has improved and the cymbals sound WAY clearer than before. In the beginning they kind of sounded like static similar to the HA-FX1Xs.

Meng, those S400s are nice but you have no idea what you're missing without trying the S500s. I keep telling you, they are the **** but you think i am too noob to know what's up. Oh well...... it's your loss.
 
edit: oh btw someone has already did what you are planning to do, and looked what happened to him. Dat ether got served!!!

See even this guy knows.  Even though he's amping an amped signal with a fiio (no offense meant, kind of a purist in regard to double amping.  Fiio products and me just dont see eye to eye).
The S400 even with two things I don't do or use still sound better than the S500.  And with that 24k bling....
 
S400>ES7>KSC75>Citiscape Downtowns>Brainwavz HM3>Sony MDRZX100>Coby Jammerz>S500
 
I think I'm gonna Gold plate the es7's and throw some of that wire on it too.  (guy didn't reply on the trade to confirm so no go)....double bling bling!

I have the KSC75's, the Uptowns (but have heard the Downtowns) and the S500, so I find your above list to be, um, interesting. What is it again that you don't like about the S500's?
