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
