KLS: did you use the flanges with the FAD? I cannot seem to suss that out. Anyway, it will be interesting to hear more of your impressions if you ever hear them again or buy, and others. I have never heard a non-burned-in version, so my impressions of a peaked mid is completely built on the one I am using.

@KLS and others. Every listening impressions for these earphones is most welcome, even if done under less than ideal conditions. ESP since these are not easy to come by for audition. So like Shigzeo, I encourage anyone who has heard them to share their impressions for those of us who are considering buying them.

Thanks, James444.

Hi dfkt, thanks for the nice chat and lending me the Hippos! You strike me as so strictly no-nonsense and light years ahead of me in both background knowledge and experience, that I'm really, really looking forward to your review.

Likewise.

Did you get the voyager with it DFKT?

 

[dfkt]

Yes, James444 borrowed me the Voyager and the Sony stick too... James, err, Willi, your altruism rocks!

I'm running both through RMAA at the moment (after listening to both yesterday, un-biased by pretty graphs).

 

[midoo1990]

so whats your impressions dfkt?

 

[dfkt]

I will post my review soon.

Great writeup DFKT - one of the nicest crazy ramblings I've heard. Sad you didn't enjoy them though. I could never use them with the rubber ear pieces.

Hi James, what are these Silicone sleeves you are using over the FAD's metal ear-tips? Looks like I might need something like these too if I do buy the FAD's, considering that I too have large ear canals...

 

[james444]

^ These are just small sized generic silicon tips. They stretch so much over the FAD's original metal tips that they look like sleeves.

^Did you have to cut them or is this how they come?
