Don't worry ruggers... we nurture each other...

Actually I wanted to buy a pair for personal use. But since I got a very good deal for it when I was in Hong Kong I decided to buy few more so I can offer it to fellow LYN for a lower price. I'm telling you this IEM is crazily gooood.
Anyway I got a question. Why the cable in adagio II is so thin and feels cheap and fragile.

One thing i like about my Adagio II, it aint picky when it comes to source......and the SQ it churns out is fuuhhhhh

The cable being "cheap/fragile" actually is quite sceptical for me initially, however after i experience with thick/stiff cable such as Shure earphone, i finally found that thin = convenient for outdoor usage, as it can chuck into case easily and wont be obvious to others.

And dont worry about the thin = fragile part, usually earphone won't spoil in the middle of wire(beside bite by dog etc, doesnt matter on thin or thick, both will gone for sure), the most fragile part will be the 3.5mm jack and cable connect to the driver.

I find d Adagio 3 highs a bit harsh and ear piercing. Burned in abt 200 hrs d. Onli when I paired it with my cmoybb does d harshness tone down a bit. Is it normal?

where do you purchase your unit from?
or maybe you can consult advise from jaben.

Oh u mean it shoudn't be harsh?

actually when i tested it ~ it din sound harsh to me~
but i dunno about you~ because preference are different~
did you tried it before purchase?

Read frm reviews tht d high is a bit harsh. Its a used set frm a forummer and bought frm Jaben still under warranty.
Appreciate adagio 3 user input. Maybe i m used to my headphones with more mids .

Btw where can get Sony Hybrid Tips locally.

My FAD Adagio III performs really well. It's one of my worthy buying !

Try to tune your sound source and see where it comes from.

Erm...what do u mean by tuning frm source. Using iphone as source. Dun quite u/ stand

I have auditioned the Adagio III before and I like it, could replace my current AT-CK300M, having almost the same signature (Japan??).
Anyway, it wasn't harsh, could it be it could handle very high frequency that you not notice before? Or you got used to bass/mid focus?

Anyway, what's your current gear? And, how do you burn in the IEM? Being a very sensitive IEM, the volume needed is very low.

Hi all, please let me know if what I'm about to say is inaappropriate to be mentioned here.

I can't help but notice that the price for Final Audio Design in Hong Kong is cheaper compared to local Malaysia price especially the high end model. So since I'm going to HK for the last time end of this month I'm offering to bring them if anyone interested. Please PM me.

Ok that's all. Meanwhile let me burn in my Adagio II some more.

Yes, if direct compare, off course HK will be cheaper, why? mainly due to our country awesome taxation.

As you know HK is a free trade port, while Malaysia charged 16% on earphone plus super expensive international shipping freight charge.

If compare with brands, brand such as AKG, Sennheiser, Shure, Audio-technica are cheaper in HK compare with Malaysia too.

But buying in malaysia provides warranty, as you might not know when you high ends will "kabut" due to unknown reason.

Mainly using flac & apple lossless with ocaasional cd. Changing tips.. U mean stock or after mkt ones? Currently using d smallest one...others a bit hard to stay in my lobes. (lobang kecik)

you can try to switch with the stocks, or can play with after market as well.

Ebay ada.

SQ wise my Adagio III with Sony tips still sound the same, just better isolation.

I switched back to stock ones.

So d Sony Hybrid not worth d investment? Sell me cheap cheap since u not using...lol
Loving these babies bass..eventho m not basshead

thinking of getting a final audio, but dunno which to get, the forte series does astonish me with their unique design, not much budget though, maybe around 300 ++
