I assume AnakChan and Spkrs01 will be in Tokyo? Reports please! :) I regret that I need to attend to some domestic issues and this will miss out. But as Spkrs01 optimistically pointed out, there's the next one. :)

Because it has a double woofer that then lends itself to more bass. I think this line of discussion has exhausted itself. Since you agree no one Fitear is wonderful to the exclusion of all else, shall we all move on to more constructive topics?

People seems to think that I'm trying to defend the 335 or something, I'm not.
I think discussing and getting to the bottom of why a sizeable number of people distancing away from 335 due to the double woofer is quite constructive to be honest.  Especially if during the conversation we can bring out which genre people think the 335 is good/not good at as a point of reference.  As I said, I think the 335 is perfect for Jpop and Kpop, so which genres people think the 335 is "too much" when they are demoing them?

Well, it's because our ears hear differently and our preferences all differ. Just as you seem not to understand why so many people like the MH334. :) It is what it is. You have one and enjoy it. That's all that matters.

By the same token, I know that many prefer the TG334 to the MH334. Personally, I find that curious. But it is what it is. Genre preference? Treble preference? It will always be difficult to put one's finger on it. Taste in music and preference of sig. :)

I heard as you get older your sensitivity to sonic frequency ranges shift toward the low-end.  We know our hearing starts to roll-off the highs as we get older, similar some BA drivers that rolls off the highs.

  Also, older you get, your sensitivity to Bass is more significant, to how much, I don't know.

I am just low 20, it's more of a personal preference above all.

The way you word it makes it sound like the 335 has bass cranked up to 11 or something.

  But then again your collection of headphones suggests that you like your headphones lean sounding anyway.
Truth of the matter is that the bass on the 335 is even much less than your average consumer orientated bass headphones, heck it has way less bass than my JH16.  Unless you are very sensitive then I can't imagine the 335 will be giving anyone headaches.  

 
Actually, both JH16 and MH335DW gave me headaches.
 
And some of my friends here in this thread will attest to how much I adore Fitear products.

Now I understand the love of the 335 for you. Sounds like you have the perfect CIEM for yourself, in my opinion.
 
The extra bass probably makes up for the inadequacies in mastering for some Jpop and most of Kpop. Lord knows Diana Krall or Alison Krauss would stop making music knowing someone out there was using a 335 or J16 listening to their music.   
 
Personally I would rate the Fitears, MH334/TG334 > C435 > 333 > Some other brand. I wouldn't spend that kind of dough for the 335. Too much money for something that would give my head a pounding after ten minutes. Owning a TH900 and EDM being one of my favourite genres, I do love my bass just not this.  
 
No offense to 335 owners here.

I'm having dinner with Spkrs01 tonight but despite my love for FitEar I'm usually the last to hear of their news sadly :frowning2:. If anyone locally will hear it first it's most likely sasaki and/or shigzeo.

Anyone know a place I can send some cables to repair? My Starlight BTG cable kinda is shorting out near the jack part.

Don't forget the Shure SE846's bass, it made you nauseous

Still waiting on the day your MOF approves the MH334.
