Has anybody had experience of these ? Looking to use with Fiio X5

 

Some good reviews out there but very hard to find here in the UK. Beautiful to look at but not a great deal of technical data

wrong place, try http://www.head-fi.org

Hello and welcome to this little corner of the internet. 

 

What can you contribute to this forum in exchange for the information you seek? 

 

Don't even tell us. Show us. 

 

Post a few drink/food pix/reviews in the appropriate threads. 

Maybe show us a knife or 2 or 3 that you made. 

Did you design a circuit you would like to share? Can you maybe help someone else out with their circuit? Perhaps you are very good at casework and would just like to show that off. 

Perhaps you can do something for the community that we have not even thought that we needed until you showed us! Do that, that would be truly cool. 

(to be clear, I deleted the url.  I assume he works for the manufacturer in some way.)

Wow, I only asked....here is  a pictures of  some English cheeses

 

 

 

That's cute. I too have found that it is always good to mock someone after asking for help. 

 

Although I have not actually heard these headphones, here is what I would assume they sound like, using only the ten-hundred most commonly used words in the English language. 

 

These head music boxes are not like other head music boxes. They have 2 song parts for each ear instead of 1 song part for each ear like most other large head music boxes. This was done because 2 is more than 1, without thinking about if you really need 2 song parts. The truth is that you don't. Pretty much all of the other guys build their head music boxes with one song-part for each ear - even the ones everyone says are best. The use of 2 song-parts for each ear may cause some interesting problems. Since one of the song-parts is more far than the other the sound from each may arrive in the ear at different time. This fuck up in the time of each song part causes a not good sound.

Yep.

 

To translate: They sound like shit.

There is no Hope for Final Audio.

Final Audio Design is basically just a FAD.....

Didn't Final used to make inverted electrostatic speakers? Sad if their headphones suck.

When I tried one of their IEMs, the tip came off inside my ear and the sales clerk had to use the TRS jack to pry it out. Not recommended.

^ That happens with a lot of IEMs. 

 

I got the AKR01 (Heaven IV) when I bought a used AK100 (came with it). I mainly wanted the player. I guess Astell & Kerns tuned it specifically for the AK. It sounded cold, and like my music hated me. Wonder what A&K was thinking.

Two different companies. Final Sound (a Dutch company that specialised in ESL speakers) is the one you're referring to and Final Audio Design (FAD) is just as the name says, FAD. I've heard some of there IEM's namely the Piano Forte lineup and frankly that they sounded like dog shit, the price of there stuff is dog shit and there $8.8k TOTL flagship complete metal build Muramasa (never really sold) is dogshit. FAD = dogshit for a niche market, i.e people who have too much money and like to buy dogshit.
