Seems like the OEM manufacturer is getting a lot of use out of this housing. It is also used for the Incipio NX-100 F38.
The question is how much different is the driver in this versus the other headphones. Their cheap enough that maybe someone wants to compare.

They offer them in a whole bunch of different colors too.

Another day, another Fischer. Judging by Brainwavz and LINDY, the Yoga-OEM Incipio phones will most likely have the same drivers as the Fischers.

I got the "Mocha" color of the Incipio f38 in a trade (along with $70) for a Bose IE2. My wife currently uses them when she is at home and says they are pretty good. I only listened to them for a couple minutes myself.
 
I made a topic a few days ago asking if anyone had ever heard of these. It's good to see that there is at least a little quality in them.

So... anyone have anymore info on these things? If they sound the same as the 004s i'd like to pick up either the espresso or pink color.

Thought I'd take a " hit"  for "Head-Fier's". I purchased a pair of Incipio forte F38's (in greenish turquoise color) on Amazon.com since Maxell doesn't seem to be avaialbe in U.S. and Brainwavz HM 3 is more expensive. Compared to my Fischer Audio FA-004, paid approx. $67 USD for Fischer's and $31 USD for Incipio's shipping included.
 
The major differences in the headphones physically would be in the earpads, the Incipio's have a much softer pleather-more like a soft leather texture, The earpads actually encompassed the upper part of the ear which seemed to give a little bit better isolation. The next major difference is with the cord, the Incipio is straight and shorter while my Fischer' are coiled and quite a bit longer. 
 
With the better isolation seal I hoped it may help these headphones in the bass departmart, but unfortunately it did not. It actually brought out the midrange ever so slightly (one area that I do not need any help in). The bass was not affected where I believe they need help in the low and mid bass areas. So all-in-all save your money and buy the Incipio Forte's I think you'll be glad you did, Happy Listening.
