You got me vlenbo. Ordered! ijs ...lol

I hope you love these headphones!

They're bad as looking and great sounding.


I have to be honest when I said that both the on1 and msr7 are in the same league, i meant it in vocal and instrument reproduction.


Cons for both

Thinksound

Bass: too much bass on the thinksound for the moment.

Mids+highs: while thicker than the m ok kros, it is slightly thinner than the msr7s. Treble needs some smoothing and there are lower treble peaks I hear, similar to the msr7.
Ath-msr7

Bass: not enough subbass to satisfy me.

Mids: a bit forward for some people, fine with me though.


Highs: lower treble spikes for me, the treble could use a bit more sparkle.

Happy Holiday to you Vienbo.  which Thinksounds did you get?

Ok I've got a slight conundrum. I've narrowed my choices for my next IEM to the Sony XBA 40, JVC FX750, and Altone 200. Of the three, which has the best balance with natural timbre, detail retrieval, and imaging, with a good healthy bass?

 

[gikigill]

Getting both the Thinksounds next week. My third woodie after the JVCs.

 

[HouseOfDoom]

The Fidue A71 synergizes so effin awesome with my Sansa Fuze, that it blows away any other dap I own. The depth, character, timbre, detail, and stage are just so sublime, it's a perfect marriage. Very very pleased.

It has been a weeks worth of burn in on the MSR7. With the right source these things are absolutely breath taking. I have been using my new Pulse with these which with a simple tune or two tester ends up being a 3 hour session.
 
These have quickly become one of my faves just because they have such crazy definition. Burn in does the one thing I was hoping would happen. The sound has opened up and become fuller but not to a degree that makes them sound like a different phone all together. The bass of these phones are so accurate..Unlike the many AT phones I own the bass on these I find to be the most accurate reproduction I have heard to date. Definition of the entire sound spectrum from treble to bass is what is astonishing about these phones. A good way to test definition in a phone is by listening with lower volumes to hear just how clean the sound is. These phones are now my reference for closed phone definition.
 
I would say AT has gone for a high resolution sound on these phones and using a source like the Pulse it has a sound that will let you hear just how good your sources are.  I know it has been mentioned that the MSR7 needs warmth for them to sound their best. I don't disagree but a clean source sounds great on these too like my DX90.
 
I am listening to them with a simple Fiio X1 and E11K combo right now and while this combo does not have the silky smooth refined sound of the pulse. It sounds great, fantastic actually. So it is not just higher end sources that are needed to hear these right. If you guys get these. Do not overlook burn in on these phones. You guys have to remember these are ATs we are talking about here. They don't burn in anything before they sell the products and these are no exception.

get the fidue a83

 

[HouseOfDoom]

get the fidue a83

No. No can do. Those haven't dropped in price, and after purchasing the X3 and DuoZA, I don't have another $260+ for an IEM.

 

[DannyBai]

Nice write up on the MSR7 Dsnuts and totally agree. I love the A71 too and can't wait for people to start getting the Duoza. The A83 would be the best upgrade once the funds are available. Those are stunning.

 

[doctorjazz]

Haven't heard the A71, but 1+ on the sound of the A83. Not so much on the fit, though...

What about the FX750 vs Sony XBA 40?

 

[DannyBai]

Haven't heard the FX750 but having the 650 and 850, I would vote for the woodies over any of those Sony's. Going back, all the XBA's had artificial treble although they are sounded quite good one way or another. I actually love the 650 a lot and use it often.

Thanks. This makes my decision a lot easier. So would you say the FX650 is more detailed and has more air and instrument separation than the A71?
