Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Plain, unassuming, perfect.

 

Introduction/Disclaimer: Not only am I a relatively newbie audiophile, the FA-003 were my first pair of "audiophile" headphones, therefore, I might be slightly based towards it. I originally got the FA-003 for use as a monitoring headphone for my audio...

Balanced SS, lush mids, tight bass, good extension both ways, deep soundstage, detailed, comfortable, great isolation, good build quality and more!

OEM headphone design, ears get a bit hot when listening, fatigue caused by isolation

Did my music always sound this good?

 

Edit: See the last paragraphs for updated impressions regarding build quality When I unpackaged these headphones today I was expecting find a nice closed-headphone alternative for my Grado SR125i, but I got more than I bargained for. From percussions,...

Amazing value for the sound quality you get

Neutral champ

 

Good neutral set. I play them out of a vintage Sony Receiver from the early 80's and it provides plenty of power to push these to their limits. Most versatile set of cans I've owned, everything really sounds good with them. I would however not...

Detailed, Neutral, good for any genre

Neutral - so not for everyone

The FA-003: Ear Muffs

 

Fischer Audio FA-003 Recommend: NO Price: $180 I would like to thank Tyll Hertsens for lending me his pair of FA-003 headphones for this review. Initial Impressions: If you take a look at the charts you cannot help think that they will sound a little...

Comfort, Laid Back Sound, Cord

Midrange Dip, Lack of Air, Cost

Jack of all trades, King of the price range

 

A surprisingly light pair of phones. It sounds great with every genre of music I've thrown at it so far, which is pretty much everything but dubstep, death metal, rap and techno. It hasn't even burnt in much yet, coming in at close to 2 hours by now,...

SQ in whole frequency range, neutral and natural sounding, good with large variety of music, case, extra pads now velour, value

extra velour pads don't have the plastic part that connects and locks the pad to the rest of the headphone

FA-003 beast <300$

 

i can actually listen to everything with it. whether its music, movie, games, even just for voice chat, it does amazingly. looking forward for more FA products like the fa-004 or fa-011! i hope their prices dont go up! ^_^ it can go up when i get a...

great- clarity, detail, bass, comfort, iso, soundstage. everything is there!

portable use is not as pleasing as home use due to its size and cable length

Neutral Champ indeed!

 

These are probably the best value for under $200 if you are looking for neutral, balanced sound. I have just a little bit of experience with headphones; I have owned the M50 and the HD555 and 558, and then I got the Sunrise SW-Xcape and the FA-003. I...

Neutral sound signature, incredible value, high detail, good soundstage, no sound leak, good isolation!

If you are a +20dB basshead, look elsewhere.

The Russian Revolutionaries

 

LFF said it best, I just wanted to post a rating. They will take any genre you throw at them with ease, injecting fun while retaining absolute accuracy. After burn in the FA-003s surpassed every other headphone I have tried unamped, becoming the pair I...

Sound quality, comfort, best headphones south of five hundred dollars. Seriously.

Design kind of bland, lacking the tank-like build quality of the HD25s, requires full burn-in to appreciate

Very nice headphones

 

Everything is good!! Just that i demand for more bass because i was listening to desktop onboard , now i have Asus Essence ST soundcard with headamp to drive them and everything sounds nice to me =D

All rounder , produce good sound

Only if you are a basshead , then you might need an amp to make it more "bassy"

Great Headphones

 

Great Headphones, but these are my first high quality headphones so there really is no basis for comparison except for a couple of my friend's headphones that I have tried(Bose, Drebeats, astro). Anyway, these are great, the bass is not that heavy but...

Great Sound, Extra Pads, Pretty Solid Build

No Velour Pads, A Little Tight When Brand New
