Fender FXA7 IEM, As good as it can get with out custom fitted..

[jdwilliams]

My FXA7's came in today and after playing with them.. I am quite impressed the low end is just mind blowing and clear!

I cannot recommend these enough! They are 499, and come with 4 sizes of 3d printed ends, most of the time I cannot even use in ear headphones with out pain but I am able to makes these seal and feel comfy.

Me neither... had to go look them up !!
wonder why Fender is moving into this market.. lots of "established" players in the space, so guessing Fender is hoping name recognition factors ??? idk.. specs don't look anything special, and at $499 for dual-driver universals I'd go with Westone W40 (quad drivers) or Shure SE535's (triple-drivers) before spending that much on Fender duals...

$499 for dual-driver universals

I think they're triple driver, but with two highs and one low, kinda weird. It was hard to decipher the ad speak, and I don't know about the "port for more lows" bit either.

Think you are correct.. not REAL CLEAR from reading the literature tho'....

• Dual HDBA tweeters; custom 9.25mm precision rare-earth driver; Groove-tuned™ bass port; zero-crossover design
• A pair of tweeters is specifically designed to match a custom 9.25mm precision rare-earth driver and Groove-tuned port

Fender Buys Aurisonics...

well that makes sense, grabbing an already-developed small company with a good product rather than just pulling some IEMs out of their R&D butt.

I'm glad to hear they sound good I read about them recently in an ad. I appreciate the review.
