LOL. this is a classic.

well i had the similar experience... TLDR version: nong nong time ago, i send my LOD silver interconnect for rma... first tell me 1 week.. i wait 2 weeks. After two weeks, say wait another 1 month. i waited 2 months (in fact i totally forgot my IC is with them until a fellow friend reminded me). After 2 months, they say wait another 2 months... i dunno wait how long liao.

finally it got back to me... from a 3 core LOD Silver interconnect to 1 single curious and suspicious looking red insulated core cable that is about the thickness of probably a typical RJ45 or RJ11 cable (a couple of strands thick).

that time, i also "IDK how liao lol".

So, aren't you going to offer to have your head fi shop in Sim Lim help Gotbetrayed, James?

333 is more tamed. But 435 got the wow factor seriously. The sound too imba but I haven't heard it since I last met jeremy

333 is actually more energetic than 435 since its prat is quicker.
435 is more neutral and is the more refined sounding one.

I thought you only tried 1964ears?

There are so many brands out there. You may never know what else you may come to like.

If you have heard everything that's available out there and still come back to Fitear, then I would congratulate you for finding the gem for your ears.

I tried many brands le. Just not the ones u mentioned. In this polled I tried quite a no. Of those listed except harmony 8, rhines 5, k10, um legacy, se5. Most brands I hear le and honestly don't come close to fitear.

Very strong opinion. :o

But got to agree, the mh334 easily clinch the top spot of the few CIEMs I've auditioned, I dare say it's the best IEM I've heard.

But of course the price... :s22:

Mh 334 and c435 clinch the top spot easily really. If we notice the level of refinement, Soundstage, separation and presentation, fitear does it damn well. Most ciems will be lacking in sth. Perhaps this is due to the driver race where they want their fan boys to think : more drivers means better. Fitear just rely on their imba tuning and the sound is way better than the common ciem in the market nowadays. Fitear easily bears most ciem flagships.

His opinions change after each Fitear demo he listens to.

First it's MH334, then 435, finally now 333.
Let's wait till he gives 335 SR mod a go.
Subjected to changes again.

Hehe...

Kiat, it's funny how people can make such comments when they do not own them.

Heheh! Gotbetrayed can be a bit too blindly devoted. Once he owns a Fitear and scratches that itch, he may be more open to diversity. :)

Have something lacking also ma... 334 treble duno go holland or where, some think bass too much. 435 some say not enough bass.

See, everyone hears differently. What appeals to you might not appeal to others. So there isn't an absolute best.

Cannot answer, as it's apple to orange comparison, since both signatures are entirely different.

Heheh! So true! That's why I keep a suite of IEMs and cans. All different and may fit a different mood or suit a different occasion. :)

Indeed, Weng! If we all heard the same things, and preferred the same things, life would be a bit boring. :)
