What are these? Heaven 7 and Heaven 8??





Link here: http://ameblo.jp/e-earphone/entry-11834155954.html

Anyone tried pairing adagio II with fiio e6?? Any difference/comments?

Look so very not tempting, just not right kind of taste for me, and uncomfortable as well...

hello folks.. i'm a super noob to FAD products.. but just want to express my appreciation to its product. lol

I got myself the bottom line of the Heaven products, the Heaven 2.. the cheapest among them.. but hey! the moment i put it into my ears, i was like "oh.. hey! nice2.." lol...

i feel quite surprised, the cheapest of its product line, but yet it is nicely done.. everything are very adequate, nothing impressive, but very audible.. yes its mid-centric, what to expect from FAD..

Bass is adequate, although it feel a bit anemic, i would say less body, but well controlled and easy to listen to.. drum pedal sounds quite distinctive, i can hear almost every single pedal hit.. bas is well controlled as well, easily can read on the notes played by the bass guitar.

Mid; as mentioned, this is created to be mid-centric. but the vocal does not sound too forward and does not slam onto your face.. a bit laid back, but enough to be said as mid-centric.. quite over emphasized on the "S" sound, i hope it can be tamed down a bit to my liking. having said this is mid-centric, but i would say the vocal does not sounds really intimate, less soul, lack in lushness, but it is nicely airy.. good enough, but i have heard better.

Highs, sparkles and chimes, but a bit lack in quantity.. sometime, to me it sounds a bit weird, the snare drum sounds near, but the hi-hat and crash/ride cymbals sounds afar.. lol.. but it is adequate for easy listening, and for the benefit is does not sounds fatiguing for long hour listening.

Soundstage is quite wide.. instrument separation is good but not excellent (of course).. individual musical instruments can be heard.. the way i always monitor instrument separation is, i choose a track with 2 guitar playing same notes simultaneously and justify how well they are separately heard. on a quad iem, i can feel the 2 guitarist standing at two corners of the stage, one at each corner.. as for this heaven 2, both guitar are well heard, but they sounds closer together, the sound almost intermix sometime. on bad iem, hardly to hear sounds of 2 guitar playing simultaneously, separately. so, heaven 2 capable to present audible instrument separation, as said, good but not excellent.

mid-centric was never my fav iem, as i listen to mostly rock and metal tracks. i love the engaging sounds from TF10 (easiest example), so things like UE900, Sony XBA-30/40 and the westones are my top list. but after sometime using heaven 2, although it doesn't sounds very engaging, it turns out the rock guitar sound quite nice, as i would use this if i want to learn the guitar play (as when i use UE900 or XBA-40, i would drown in the music.. lol).. so this iem turns to be my fav to pick up especially when i'm going around or commute. i got this at a generously discounted price, hence this is really a steal for me. i used to appreciate SE215 and RE400 for being cheap and good sounding, but now, Heaven 2 has stolen the crown! this is an easily audible iem with nice/good timbre throughout the sound spectrum, the essential standard for any iem should at least have in order to be enjoyed.

loving it.

cheers

Talk about those damn designs.

Can't help. Quite polarizing opinion. Some really root for it, people like me feell.... eew. Haha.
Butta, I guess it's about the sound.

I agree on the sound, but meh, they are like some inherited child from the Lab 1
if its not heaven7/8... maybe it derives from the Lab series

Looks like a fashion IEM to me

Heaven series is the less polarized audio playback gear among the FAD lineup as they sound more "conventional". However, in describing FAD products, the usual "bass, mids, treble, s-stage" don't really make sense lol (usually sucks on most account, and they are tuned "by-ear"). Glad you enjoyed the "euphonic" moment!

Which means Lab1 doesn't really wow you? I feel the Lab1 is very close to the FI-BA-SS, without the rough edges and rounder bass impact. Perhaps these Heaven 7/8 are not 3-D printed, and being mass produced to be more widely available (since Lab1 is limited to 150 pieces I heard). Sadly, I do hope those are r-type so that they have longer lifespan (to replace the cables).

At first most people was like "what kind of design is that?", and I was thinking is that something to fight the Beats? But slowly everyone's cool with it I guess, when the music is turned on

haha.. being very picky in spending my hard earned money, am always looking for cheap-good thing possible.. i'm always keen to explore the best candidate for cheap-good stuff.. hence my appreciation for this cheap and yes, euphonic iem..

They are Heaven7/8, releasing soon maybe on next couple of months.

No they are not 3D printing like the Lab 1, according to them, the 3D printing concept from Lab 1 caused them so much problem in the production line, so they got no choice by not maintaining the Lab 1 model.

Ya he passed away some time ago.

Hi! Took me a while to locate this site aka FAD fan club forum/thread, to express my happiness recently owning a pair of Pandora Hope VI!
My initial plan was to either getting the HD800 or T1... but after trying the Hope VI, the other two cannot even come close de...
Everynite, entering the 5 days already burning at least 4hrs before going into bed... No regret indeed the creme de'le creme ....

lol, maybe you weren't using a good enough source for the HD800 and T1... they are really on another class compared to Hope VI which might have sound better when you tried since it is much easier to drive it..

Tried the FAD VI on several occasions, for the price given I would say it is either you love or hate it with my position on the latter.

Gotta disagree that the VI is superior to the HD800 however as the HD800 excels in many aspects that the VI fails at (Unless you like FAD coloration, if that is your sort of thing)

As Lego man mentioned, perhaps a bad source and amp pairing could be the reason why the T1/HD800 sounded average or bad. The sensitivity of the FAD VI is too sensitive for my liking which makes choosing an amp extremely difficult to match due to obvious noise floor.

Nah, if it hits, it hits the very spot of music which you will find euphonic. Pandora VI is not better than that Senn or Beyer in terms of technicalities (IMO). but aside of those technical proficiencies, the main characteristic of FAD is its deviation of conventional "good" sound and tune the gears according to their own philosophy, which is why Pandora may sound "better" to you.

Morning "Lego", "problem", "Philip" and all!
Indeed I must agree overall the HD800 and T1 should deserve better reviews judging on their reputation and the flagship status... not forgetting the $$$ tag!
The story begins as ...spent about second half of my day till 10pm before Jaben Penang calling a night...last Thursday my audition on the headphone sets. I brought my own Teac headphone amp and we tried several DSD tracks.. Frm the cheapest running up to the flagships! Perhaps it is due to personal likings, preferences wannabe, I chose FAD Hope VI! Could also be due to the environment and the type of songs played(my preferences).. Both the HD and T1 were really flat and "lack of spice"! Moreover I think another contribution to my choice for Hope VI is due to "mobility". Getting either one of the other two would restrict myself but stay at home tangling with 3m cables hooked on the headamp... (Since I already hav an entry level audio HiFi), then I thought I want something that is mobile, to carry my "HiFi" around when I'm out! With Hope VI, pairing with either Fiio or ZX1(coming soon), I think they just do quite a fairly job!
In my humble opinion, FAD gives me the "headphone" sound.. The bass, not to deep, the stage, not too wide, thr mid(vocal) I must say one heck of the best(again my personal opinion). Vividly can hear the phlegm out frm Emy Fujita's throat!!! No offence the HD and T1 could hav shined better in lots lots better way, almost able to resemble the 5 figures HiFi audio but then... Since a full scale already at home, acquiring another piece more like substituting the existing system..
I am sure Hope VI is nice but not even reaching the half way to the top, heard that the Hope 8 and 10 are inbound soon, bearing the price tag way above 5figures...! Really intrigues my interest to ogle for the arrival soonest ...

And that's probably because you're at the open, which PH-6 has the advantage of being a closed can. Both HD800/T1 are quite open and prone to external distractions, thus the "details" could be lost if the environment is not quiet. IMO both cans have even more "details", eg. the swallowing of saliva on the vocals and so on, but well, PH-6 is cheaper though and doesn't command a high end peripheral, and that's the difference.

Btw, the "mid" is really special... Haha. Definitely NOT FLAT at all, but well, when it hits, it hits deep into your soul. Chilling PF series are also the same

Don't go to Hope 8/10... Haha. Dangerous zone out there. Hehe

Thanks Phil! I guess u are right about the open back design.. No noise isolation...being in the shopping mall to audition both the top enders!? Simply not justifiable at all. Since this round my selection factor is more into mobility, FADPH6 is the one then.. When the time is up for the next purchase, definately I would like to occupy myself with a higher range unit... ie: HD or T1! Even the sense of owning them already satisfy the lust!
I also was considering the T5P, this piece of handcrafted in GmBH definately should my choosing criterias except that... why they hav to sell at equivalent to the top ender? Imagine T1 $$ is = to T5P $$... I found it abit hard to cut then... Anyway Jaben was offering Beyer products at 20% off(Congrate to GmBH for winning the WC2014), now that the offer has ended.. It is too late to reconsider now as the price has gone back to RM4k++.
Today my Fiio X5 has arrived in the office! Tonite will be a busy night to burn running in the player... as well as my FADPH6!
Ps: my god copying my lossless library into 64Gb SDXC takes forever....1hr20min has gone by...still waiting!!
