Be careful. See I know what these FX40s are. They are great. perhaps a little too great. So great after you get your taste of what the carbon nanotube drivers do for your music. Then all of a sudden you get curious about the higher end carbon nanotube earphones. And even the headphone they threw in a big old 40mm driver for. These are the gateway. Be warned. Just say it now. Say it with me.
"I FHSWarrior will not be curious about a higher end more refined version of the FX40. I FHWarrior will not be interested any other JVC made product." If you said this. Then only then you can just enjoy the FX40s. Nothing more.
Lol. Burn in is absolutely important on these. The more burn in the better. Remember Carbon, base material for diamonds. Stiffer than any dynamic in earphone land. A funny story. One of the guys on the HA-S500 thread was burning in his headphones and his mom for some reason ended up blasting his volume to something like 190% of max volume distorting the sound at that level. He went into his room to find the music absolutely Maxed out. He was flipping mad obviously thinking his mum ruined his new headphones.. It turned out this probably just loosened it a bit but no damage whatsoever. True story. I think normal phones and it would have done some damage. Carbon nanotubes. Seems they can take some punishment.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful and I know the situation you're in - hence the smileys... it's just that I'm familiar to your searches on this thread and you kinda remind me, when I was wanting to buy something for about a year and then just gave up on it. research is good and all, but it shouldn't take much more than say a month, or it will continue for ever
Don't buy from the seller under "artistic_life" though, cuz he sells defective non grade-A products from what i have read. His prices are always the lowest and labels them as genuine so it's really tempting.......
But but it looks so much more sexy!!! Saw someone that posted with these newer red FX3Xs as their avatar, and thought they shopped in those colors or something, but looks like JVC is giving these a new paint job and trying to sell more of them. I wonder if they sound the same as the old FX3Xs cuz they sure are a lot more $$$.
The general rule is that sellers from China and Hong Kong are more suspect for selling fakes, especially when it is shipped from China so be careful on ebay. There are literally knockoffs for everything it seems, even the cheapo FX101s has fakes that look exactly the same.

I have NO IDEA how those Tf10 sound, but if he says the FXD80 sounds normal, o dear lord those TF10 should be monsters on detail on clarity,cause on my ears the FXD80 has so much detail and clarity, the bass is so great i not even conserding buying other iems for a long while.
Maybe i should save some money to get a pair of those TF's.
So for the guys that own or are about to get the XB90EX.. This I feel is imperative. Take a look this is what I mean by bigger wider tip. I am using Meelec tips. Look at the difference. 9 times out of 10 I would recommend hybrids on earphones but in this case they do restrict the full sounds that are coming out of the XB90EX.
And burn in brings out the highs much better than stock sound.
haha the discoveries just get more interesting everyday. are these the correct tips?

I tried the double flange ones and I still like the wide bore tips much better than the double flange ones. Also. If you guys have a radio shack close to you. Auvio tips they sell as radio shack are Sony Hybrid clones but with a much better build and a much bigger sound hole. Cost $8 or so for a set. Those work awesome too.
