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!!

welcome to the FAD side, here's a PH6 for you. LOL. Enjoy the stay, and don't over-burn the headphone, as its only 8 Ohm n drivers may be delicate IMO cool.gif

T1 or HD800? Haha. source bro, source... icon_idea.gif

I mean, since you just got the PH6, don't think too fast of jumping "up" the ladder icon_idea.gif Let the sound sinks into your mind first brows.gif

Btw, in FAD world, it isn't really about "Upgrade", more like changing flavor due to the different metals. Since the drivers used are basically the same, the only Significant difference is the materials used in the housing. Although i must say the PH10 does look different.

Thanks for having me!
Ok ok will take the advise seriously..Yes I saw the PH4 from the shelf it is everything the same but the cup is plastic! Heard that the material frm the cup shall yield different sounding! I chose to believe. I chose "steel"!! Even if that does not "sound different", but at least it got the "look"!!!
Oh boy oh boy is there a place that I can peep at PH10 please???

Haha no I did not try on the PH4... I'm abit weird though somehow apportion of my choosing factor also based on the "look" or rather the "appearance"! When looking at the PH6 then look at the PH4...oh...and... hence....!
Just saw one frm the net post the PH8's gonna be quite same but "gold" in color...!! Drolling saliva de!! Wonder PH10 gonna blow me off ...!

If you're kinda familiar with FAD, you'll notice that it's hardly about the details or soundstage or anything, but rather the overall experience changes with different materials used. So, I'm not sure if PH10 is gonna blow anything off, butta the look must be drool.gif LOL

Btw, yeah, it's the "look" that counts too! Especially the shiny metals drool.gif

Thanks!!! Hey Phil, now that the virus multiplied and elevated to another level...looking for another phone la...sigh...! Saw there's one T5P advertised for sale, any one has any comment on this headphone?? I like T1, being the flagship but T5P bearing the same price tag which means T5P is not for a joke! Vice versa to pay for T5P, rather I die for T1 isn't it?? Thus both in brand new I would just forget about them. Now that the T5P is available for sale under used item RM2k plus... I mean it is justifiable la to get them. Moreover I need them to be mobile-able... T5 with a "P" should be the right one. But the sound and characteristic...? Anyone pleae pleae please??

Oh yes forgot to ask about my 8ohm thingy... Though it is only a mere 8ohm, driven by the DAC doesn't really sound a lot simple by the way yet, the volume knob still play at 40% and not really a lot lower than the other 32ohm headset!!! Mmm... 8ohm ... I wonder..!?

I'd say T1 and T5p sound rather different. You might wanna check your setup before committing and listen to both of them first, and don't really expect one to be the same as another. For portability, T5p all the way. There's no need for T1 since you ain't want the sound to leak out and let the outside sound interfere with your music listening experience right? blush.gif

Btw, the 8 Ohm might just be nominal impedance. Not the true value. Anyway, driven by DAC? What is your source?

But isn't the t5p and the t1 built with the same open cup concept? Noise isolation about the same right frm the both?? Except the core driver and T5P with 3.5mm jack.!!
I'm currently driving the headphone with Teac UD501. Source is Marantz via coaxial. Concurrently I use Fiio X5 when I'm out la.. So T1 definately out of the question unless I coupled X5 with another mobile headamp...
Frens were saying why not get an IEM instead since already had a headphone??! Mmm... This is true also. ...

Haha. Did u notice, that the T1 has net with holes, while T5p's housing is fully sealed? T1 is what they called "semi-opened", while T5p is closed.

Nah, while T5p may have the same Tesla driver, they are tuned differently, so even the same driver is used, the sound is different.

3.5mm jack? It's just that T1 is designed for studio or desktop amp use, so for convenience on the setup, the default jack is larger. T5p aims for portability.

Why not get an IEM? Wait for the Heaven 7/8 then. Haha. Actually, IEM and headphone sounds so differently. If you don't mind the larger size, then by all means go for headphones. The feeling is different.

Yes not only that, the resistance ohm is lower for T5P.

LOL. More drivers =/= SQ, especially at the high-end stuffs, since they have specific taste or sound signature which might not appeal to all.

Hi! I think the JH has way too big the device to mount onto our ear. Always find it too difficult to secure the cable behind the ear... The FAD heaven has a protruded yet a long piece of earpiece to snuck fit into the year canel... Look really promising!!
Waiting and waiting for the new arrival...
Oso my PH6 is entering a two weeks burnt in period and I could feel the sound is evolving now... Good good and very good..

My Hippo VB getting show some issues on muted sound of right ear, because of this I asking for recommendation and Jaben Walabies recommend Final Audio Design Heaven II to me.

Normally I listening to instrumental music such as piano Richard Clayderman , saxophone Kenny G, Kitaro, IL DIVO, and also Orchestra. Other than that, I also listening to trance Avicii, David Guetta, Eiffel 65, Micheal Jackson, Adele, Big Bang, DJ song, Disco song. Hippo VB give me experienced like have a live band in front of me when listening to instrumental and like a mini Boom Disco stand up have a kick dance when listen to trance and disco song.

Too bad my Hippo VB have gone just for 2 years.. After read alot of comment about FAD from this fan club, I found out that FAD is quite seductive and so easy go deep to people's heart. Now, I become eager to look forward, how FAD can bring me deep into sound world and forget about myself after testing.... (hope my immune system could b strong enough to resist going for better FAD, else.... purse bleeding hehehehe)
