I can't speak to the RT but after 2 sets of the original pads disintegrating on my head after about a year of use, I highly suggest the Dekoni Elite Sheepskins (not the fenestrated or the hybrid ones). Not only do they have stiffer foam, but they also improve (imo) the frequency response - they...

Thanks. I did and they already responded, saying they're sending me replacements. Kudos to them.

Whelp! The thread on one of the clamps that holds the leather to the nitinol headband got stripped and won't hold the clamp in place. How screwed am I (pun intended)? Any way to fix it? I'd like to avoid glueing the thing together... Thanks.

Hey folks, any tips on cleaning the white tuning filters? I assume they aren't machine-washable and I don't want to order a whole new set just to use one pair.

Guys my left earpiece just died. I have 2 weeks on the warranty left. iBasso's contact us webform isn't working. Any ideas how I can contact them? Thanks.

I've had the FH5 since they came out and have tried many tips, including foams and double-flanges. For me the issue isn't so much the short nozzle (my canals are fairly shallow) but the nozzle angle and the weight of the shells pulls them out of my canals and beaks the seal with time, so I have...

Hi @Brooko, question for you. Been comparing your measurement graphs of the FA1 and the FH5 one here. On the FH5 700Hz is 0dB, 50Hz is at +8dB, 2.2kHz is +9db and 7kHz is +6dB. For the FA1 we have 0db for 800Hz, 60Hz is at +7dB, 2.8kHz is at +8dB and 6-7kHz is at +8dB. What I see is that the two...

Well guys it happened - my 20-month old F9 Pro died (well at least the right earpiece did). Of course I tried several cables to make sure it's not a cable issue. It's weird because it came out of nowhere after babying them in their hardcase and mostly using the stock cable all this time...

I'll admit I was one of those people. I really thought I heard a difference initially. A week later decided to put the grilles back on and didn't notice any change. They've stayed on since then.

No, but I can’t tell between FLAC and mp3 in many cases so don’t take my word for it.

Eyeballing it, the silver part of the 3.5mm plugs may be a little too wide for the recessed sockets of the Noirs. I use this one and I'm happy. They should have a balanced version...

Wore them on a 7-hour flight yesterday and was sitting right next to the engines. They isolate slightly less than my IEMs (Fiio FH5) but I would say it's adequate. If you want anything better you would have to get a NC headphone.

That being said, any idea what life I can expect from the pads if I don't sweat on them and I use them mostly in an air-conditioned room? I do see a bit of oily residue on them when I take them off but I wipe it off every day or so.

Like any other skill it takes practice. 1st time it took me like 10 mins. 50 swaps later I can do it in my sleep :) That being said I would've liked the channel a little wider, so you can fit pads that don't have the thin plastic insert.

I'm going to in a week. Will let you know. I have high hopes since the isolate very well - not just well for a headphone but just as well as my IEMs.
