The FreQ Custom IEMs - Impressions Thread (Updates on First Page!)

[wquiles]

Yep, best thing to do is to forgo the home kit and just bite the bullet and get professional impressions. Your chances of your IEM's turning good are higher with professional impressions

ok so the amp thing is settled..

what about the diff with the superfreq and the shows? both triple driver.. superfreq can be upgraded to the braided wires.. so what's left that is different? both are custom fit as well aren't they?

hmmm unless the circuitry is different to produce a different sound?

Yes slowth, the FreQ Show has a new crossover, which is basically a device / circuit that directs different frequencies into different balanced armatures. That's how they can have a bass, mid, and high driver like floor speakers.

Also, the new FreQ Show has detachable cables and from first impressions, much better build quality.

that's encouraging! at least I seem some differences now!

Hi guys, i'm french, sorry for my bad english, it's my first post ever. after reading this thread i decided to order some IEM. my first IEM's i send my impression to Todd a couple weeks ago and yesterday i received my "freqshow". (i was allowed by Todd to send my impression before the IEM was released)
here's the pics.

and the last pics.
the fit is perfect, the sound very good to me, sorry i'm not an expert and it's my first IEM's.
please put my name if you order them " bbboz10", thank you guys.

I'm officially VERY tempted...

I don't really like the FreQ logo there tho.. anyone know how much the customized plates would cost?

Does that mean I shouldn't even consider the livewires and just go for these... heh... or even forego waiting for the westone 3s.. ah..

 

[Stelixus]

Lol, I, for one, is jumping over to the FreQs, and not get the LiveWires. The improved sound quality and customized face plates seem to be the reason.

I think the customization goes for 25 bucks. USD.

 

[Caution]

great pictures bbboz10

So I take it that you gotta email todd your order to order these? I don't like the look of the FreQ logo either and would rather it not being there tbh.

Yes, it certainly looks like my Westone ES cable, and it looks like the same cable also used in the Livewires

[slowth]

how do you think it'll compare to the ES series? or livewires for that matter....
