Fitear Tio Poison thread

[Promethus]

Didn't. Got Miracle still try the demo for wat.
Tried the Merlin. Better tuned than 18 months ago.
But still not as refined as Miracle. Slightly recessed mids as well.




He has a JH16.

Not as bassy as people think la...

 

[Guan22]

Yea man. Change of career preparation. Hahahaha. Scare you poison me with more Toxic.....

Cannot buy all lei, preparing bullets for more watch hoots.

Buy maybe 1 or 2 first... sneak pass the wife. But also not so soon.

I scare to audition because I usually cannot peel myself away from it and just buy on the spot. Later go back then never use......

Burning in Superlux HD681EVO now to ease the itch a bit.

[stanley_home]

[Emospence]

wats the price for 435 again?

Heard ish 2.25x of Miracle..

Sho 2.25 x $1199 = $2697.75

+ - a bit..

 

[Haonan]

Based on what u juz said above, I think u better dunch try the 333.
I guarantee that u sure throw ur 4A away after listening to the 333.

The Heir 4.A's isn't that bad actually, I did perceived a slightly better sense of imaging/soundstage depth when AB-ing my CK100PRO's against it. But the former does exhibit a midrange suck-out ard 4kHz to my ears w/o much treble sparkle/energy to it. I guess its because most ATH headphones/iems in my current possession have a pretty forward midrange presentation and energetic upper-mids response so I'm prolly alrdy quite used to such presentation, so when listening to other gears now these kind of things can be pretty obvious to my ears which are not considered ideal. I have read from some previous user impressions that the Tzar's 350 from Heir may resemble the CK100PRO's overall sig more, while the 4.A's is considered a diff kind of neutral animal so perhaps I was having the wrong expectations, but I didn't want my listening impressions to be clouded by demo sets so back then since there were ppl who claimed that demo = not equal to actual set, so I still went ahead with my 4.A's purchase last time.

After hearing what you have just said regarding the 333's, I will prolly go down Jaben sometime and have a proper listen at the demos soon.

Major inconvenience lor.
Do u know how many times I had to bend down to pick up my jaw while listening to 333?
Very tiring to call ah pek keep bending over to pick up stuff de leh.
Damn chek ark...

 

[Haonan]

I don't dare to go in Jaben new shop.... scenery so nice, later audition sure ganna one...

I love my FAD PF8... will I fall in love with Fitear or should just buy PFX or FI-BA-SS or Kaede? I am too weak to make up my mind..... =(

Promethus also owns the Piano Forte series sia. Lol just realised dunno was it pure concidence or what, but you also bought the CK100PRO's shortly after i reviewed them here. I can def tell you from my personal listening experience the CK100PRO's and my PF IX's that I also own are at the drastic different ends of the pole in terms of overall sound sig, and even as a self-professed ATH lover I have to say for alot of jazz and classical/symphony genre of music out there the PF IX's even exceeds my ATH AD series at home in terms of naturalness in timbre, and soundstage wise the Piano Fortes definitely has alot of air up-top, w/o any sort of constrained soundstage properties like a typical IEM actually.

According to FAD themselves, the Piano Fortes are engineered/tuned to sound more like true horn speakers as part of their own OPUS series, which FAD was involved with last time as covered in their japanese mag reviews, but you can't find the Opus horn speakers on their website now cause i believe it's an old product. I also believe their excellent resonance/reverb properties in terms of their bass decay/soundstage has alot to do with their respective metal alloy housings these are clad in, I chose to go with PF IX last time cause I demo-ed the VIII/IX and I preferred the latter more.

You should prob get a chance to listen to the Kaede's first b4 considering, forum member shsh91 has them apart from the Flat-4 Sui's and I have met up with him personally to audition it since Jaben has limited sets for this model since this is a limited production release but they are not willing to open it for customers for demo purpose unless u are buying. From my very brief impressions of these tested with some gd quality tracks from Corrinne May/Oliva Ong in FLAC, these have a gd kind of refinement to them akin to EX800st/EX1000 the Sony EX monitors, soundstage is impressive and lower-mids/midrange has good body, definitely doesn't sound thin to me at all.

I will consider the Kaede's to be perhaps a much more refined EX1000's but w/o all that peaks/sibilance issues in the treble that some ppl have complained abt prev, but to clarify upfront both me and Guan22 don't have any issues personally with EX1000's treble brightness at all. (as he had shared once with me b4 in our PM conversations) The Kaede's and the 1st model Sui's does have a slight laid-back presentation in their upper-mids from the 4kHz to 6kHz according to my exp, but from my basic understanding of reading their japanese reviews out there this is purposely tuned by the Ocharaku sound engineer who used to work for Sony, for a non-fatigued long-term listening experience so if you prefer bright stuffs such as those from Grados/Beyers, then the Kaede's are definitely not meant for you.

Cheers bro!

I tried swapping cables on the 4A, end up i prefer the Magnus 1 still.

But its quite veiled if you compare to 333 / 3drivers series

Cheers bro!

I could not get CK100pro to seal in my ears at all!!!
Thus sadly, I cannot experience it's true potential...

I got the PF8 preowned, so cannot choose between 8, 9, 10. But I fell in love with it the first time I auditioned it. It's my main home use phones now. I got PF2 too and I love them for what they are.
I am curious how different 9 and 10 will be but too scare to try.... Also don't wish to end up with multiple PFs and don't know which to sell... hahaha.

Which led me to seek out another Japanese phones. Enter Kaede; from what I read about Sui, I have a feeling I won't like it, if shsh91 drop the price even more maybe I don't mind snapping it up to try. LOL!!

But I got to say, Perhaps Fitear might be what I am looking for... let me reload my bullets first.

The PF for a UIEM also not cheap and if one can afford a PF10, then a Fitear is nothing.

 

[kennethtbh]

to go! 334 is the universal version of MH334? is there a universal version of MH335DW?

 

[Jeremy1]

to go! 334 is the universal version of MH334? is there a universal version of MH335DW?

No.................

 

[Phen8210]

ya those ath tend to have more upper mid range, good for higher pitched female vocals i guess.

 

[Promethus]

Buying the 334 is one thing... ganna poison too deep go for custom then die liao....

With PFX the next step up will be muramasa.... I also scare....
