i listened to both of them, and finally settled with PFVIII in my pocket.
Both of them are great, FIBASS has the best detail and transparency ever i try in any earphone in the market, amazingly present and superb for detail lover, it has balance and correct sound.

PFVIII is a weird and unique earphone/bud?
The reason why i pick PFVIII over FIBASS, PF offered a total new listening experience, nostalgic, old school and feel of the music, frankly, i dont get them in any high end inears, include expensive Custom like JH audio, westone etc...

When using PFVIII, i'm no longer worry about detail, stage, neutrality, bass impact, treble extension etc... i'm using it because i like the voice of the song, i'm involved deeply into the song, not how detail the earphone can produce.
So... FIBASS is easier to accept by user, while PFVIII is an odd situation, either you like it a lot, or it is a piece of crap to you, try them if you are able to.

You can check out how head-fiers discuss on their experience for PF series, you will be shocked on how many they throw away all their expensive branded product after got their hand on PF earphone.

Hey guys any comment on FAD Heaven IV vs Adagio 3 ? I owned adagio 3 and need some comparison among them both

Thread owner add me to the list for FI-BA-SB (Heaven S) owner =)
just bought one today, still only half happy since i'm still doubting myself for not getting the SE535 instead. Even thought of the Heaven VI for a moment too...
One of the main factor for decided the Heaven S was probably the price difference and the casing? lol
I'm planning to get the Jaybird Bluebuds X, and getting the Heaven S and Jaybird together is almost the same amount of getting the SE535/ Heaven VI.
That kind of decided for me, although for vocals no doubt i'm still torn to the SE535 =(
I tried the Heaven IV, but not the Adagio 3, so sorry can't be of much help. I can tell you that the Heaven IV has very little bass though.

really? why did you sell your se535 SE? I think the sound is amazing especially the vocals.
What do you miss about the heaven S? I read burning in has a big effect on this series, hopefully it'll be the same for me =/

lol have you tried the other FADs as well? Do they give the same feeling as the Heaven S?
why did you sell your Heaven S as well if it was something special and different? Could just keep it and get the others? =P

I've tried the heaven c and own the heaven s, and I strongly disagree that the heaven s is powerful v shaped though. The mids are not recessed at all but are very forward. In fact its the most prominent one compared to the bass and treble. Heaven c as you said is less bright, more flat and lighter impact in all areas.

The reason you might feel it is V shape, i believe because the mid range of Heaven's presented in thinner sound, comparing against Westone or Shure series.

It had not emphasize on that particular frequency range, but to flat out all range in similar zone, so you won't feel any outstanding in mid especially.

All yours? You are a big fan of FADs.

Any SS owners here?

That day Mr Takai the creators of all FAD headphones are earphones was there in the klav show. Did anyone had a glimpse on him? According to him the things he created is tuned by ears not digital. That's why it will take very long time for their tuning.

Have owned Final Audio Design Heaven VI CG for few months already.
Any suggestion for setup since I use it mainly on my android phone. Non of my DACs compatible with galaxy note 2.

my adagio III very sharp sounding on highs ... any ways to deal with it except amped it with dark sounding amp?
