You guys very pandai racun people -___-
I originally wanted to get PL-50 at the middle of the month, now that the eterna bulk is there, I better opt for this

Been using the EP-630, and I can feel the lack of sound quality from it now and need something better.

already kena racun on head-fi few times adi, that's how i got few earphone and headphones, and listening them them more than my speakers

haha suddenly few people want to go in the bulk now, maybe going to be 2nd bulk.

No more people going to go for 2nd bulk? Just 3-4 slots left to start ordering this nice set of earphones

Using the eterna to listen to disco musics are very refreshing and fun heh.

If my earphones have problems later, am I able to claim warranty through the singapore distributor? Since I got it from the last bulk I don't have the receipt to prove the date of purchase.

I want to revive back this thread. Since there are more Fischer Eterna users now I want your guy's opinion about the tips for the Eterna.

Anyone used other eartips beside the stock bi-flange and the stock single-flange tips? I found that if change to the sing-flange tips the highs are more prominent, changing the sound signature considerably. The bass is also reduced. The biggest problem is that the isolation reduced a lot, does the ultimate ears bi-flange sound like Eterna's single-flange but with more isolation?

How does the sound signature differ from the different tips?

How about the sound if using PL30, UE tips? Silicon tips last longer and makes me interested

Good for the wallet hehe, changing IE8 to eterna still pockets alot spare change haha.

Did you guys notice that the "fischer" logo looks like the F word? I mean the "is" on "fischer" looks like "u"

Depends on how loud you guys are listening to the music. I never find that eterna sounded boomy to me, maybe it's because I listen in not-to-high volumes. This is explained in the equal loudness contour, where the frequencies lower than 1000Hz needs to be bumped more on sound pressure level to have equal loudness in phon.

Eterna never sounded that nice out of the box. It sounded awesome after fully burned in though.

Ya the only part lacking with the eterna is the accessories. Other than that this IEM is impressive. Where else you can find an IEM which has very low microphonics, comfortable to wear, cheap, durable, good isolation, negates the need for an amp, and most importantly sounds good? Quite hard to find leh.

at high volumes it has too much bass though.

I'm still addicted to bass though hehe.

It depends, IEMs are very different than speakers. There's resonance in high-mid frequencies and high frequencies at default on all IEMs. That's why sleekaudio SA6 have configurable settings to compensate this, their website on SA6 did mention about the resonance effect inside ear canals on IEMs.

I find the eterna just perfect for me that the frequency response on my listening volume is near flat. The proof is that binaural recording sounded nothing short but awesome to me, the 3d effect is easily heard.

Ya graphics equalizer are not as good as parametric ones.

Maybe no, malaysia don't even have koss official distributor, all was channeled from singapore.

I didn't touch my eterna for a whole week and in that period I only used the hippo shroom. Now I'm using back the eterna I understand what others said about their first impression: bass is kinda overwhelming.

But now I understands what it matters is to find the best "synergy" between the song-source-amp-IEM to get the best result. Songs are affected like IEMs too by means of different mics used, recording position, the mastering etc (even the monitoring speaker/headphones used will affect the sound of the songs). Some songs that sounds exceptional on the hippo shroom sounded lifeless on the eterna and vice versa.

I prefer vocals on eterna though, hippo shroom sounded a bit sharp and I never heard people's voice in real life like that. Eterna's vocal sounded more natural.

Glad I got both

How much for the custom sleeves? I do know custom tips are like rm200-400, can buy another eterna lol.

where did you do the custom sleeve? How was the improvement compared to stock bi-flange.
