how do they fit? In japan fitear is more famous as the one of the most comfortable ciem you can buy if not the most.
Back to the topic, every fitear mh334 driver is specially turned and place to your earshape in a fashion which will match all the sound design similar to the reference they are after and then fill the shell with Acrylic to stop the driver from sliding due to vibrations, which might also slightly improve sonund. I seriously doubt a remod could provide the same sonic performance like the original. Hence the Fitear Togo 334 might be a better choice if you can’t find any shop which distributes fitear products in your country.

Mine and og 334 were measured on the same measuring gear and they match, building a ciem is not a rocket sience, only lots of carefull tuning. Im confident mine sound as good as the original ones.
Its the first custom so i dont have any reference to compare their comfort with, but they do fit nicely

I believe remod with similar sonic measurement graph does replicate the original to a certain point, I remember10 years ago remod mass produced Iem like the UE TriFi10 into custom is quite popular back then but when it compare to the normal TF10 even it have similar graph it sounds a bit worse. Fitear original 334 have 4 version the first one with the old face plate the Togo334 the new face plate with metal housing and improved inner worrying and the latest the SR all of them sounds a bit different.

I am curious, since FitEar has it on their Titan website. But does FitEar require your ear canals to be a certain size to order the Titans? I remember FitEar telling me that my canals were too small to do the SR upgrade for my 335s. Was wondering if there's a similar requirement to the Titan CIEMs.

I think the Titan requires a certain size of your ear canals and cannot be refitted if the final product do not fit well they will refund the total amount to you except the ear impressions fee

The Titan stem is -a lot- shorter than the MH335DW-SR. Not much of the stem actually goes into the canal the way the acrylic MHxxx series do.

But why on fitear website they say after receive the ear impression before making the titan they will examine the size of the earshape suitable for the Titan be made or not if not they will refund ? Don’t quite understand...

Cos there’s more to ear impressions than just the canal?

Very contend indeed, some photo of my just received Fitear Titan

damn I am surprise that the fitear titan is so hard to drive which i need the masskobo 424 to power it to full capability...

Yes, the Titan and the Air2 are more difficult to drive. I suspect primarily because of the dynamic drivers.

Yeah the twin, unported dynamic drivers with one being passive type and sounds like the best DD ever when given the power. Supremely impactful, clearly defined and agile bass. Quite possibly the summit of DD technology in the iem context.

 

[elton7033]

I'm also very content with my Titan UIEM. They got some magical voodoo in there - it should be along the lines with the Fostex TE200 with the dual dynamic arranged like a passive radiator type, and there should be a lot of design elements in the chamber housing the DD such that there's no port at all in the Titan's body. Whatever it is, the end result is mesmerizing. I personally likes the bass rendition of the Titan very much - some of the cleanest bass ever heard from a DD setup.

That said, the EST is still a very attractive option. Air2, Titan and the EST (and with some bias, the 335DWSR) represents a more mature and less cliche tuning in general from Suyama-san & Co. The warm and fussy tilt of Harada-san seems to be gradually phasing out from the Fitear lineup.

Is the fostex te200 basically a universial air2 ?

I dun think anyone outside Fitear could know for sure. I tend to believe the main components (e.g. drivers) are almost identical but got different tunings, similar to the case of TE100 and Air1, but I may be wrong.

They sound quite different, despite the similar driver layout. The TE200 is a lot more laid back, and the air2 more crisp and energetic

That’s interesting it would be more interesting if someone could point out the drivers used in TE200 are the same with Air2/Titan or not. By the way I would like to point out the price difference as well, the Fostex TE200 is 182000yen where the Fitear Titan uiem/ciem is 299000yen almost 120000yen difference (The Fitear X Jaben Network 9th anniversary edition Titan with Creator silver 4 custom cable is almost 524000yen/36800hkd), if the Fostex TE200 have the same hardware and layout and could provide similarly in sound signatures to some point reflecting the price differences it is still a very attempting choice for me, however the Fitear Air2 still cost a bit less(I won’t even use the word cheaper for this price range of iems since its really high end). This also happen with the EST Universial and the new EST Ti Universial where pricing at 259200yen(Fujiya Avic) which is also 120000yen more expansive than the normal EST Universial where the EST Ti Universial offers a more clinical sound than the normal EST...the only thing I can say is the Fitear titanium shell is really expansive isn’t it, although it is really collectible. Talking about titanium shell unique melody is launching 2 new titanium shell uiem as many might know although I still haven’t got a chance to audition it. Some of my friends saying that the Fitear EST Ti Custom is coming later this year but who knows.
