PFKMan23 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 You miss the point of my remark. The point is that he is worse than clueless in a sense. So then are we in agreement that he's a clueless twat who's either gonna bitch about his new toy or gonna be crying about how his old shit was better? Quote

postjack Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 i think the best thing about these headphones is that I can use them out in the field for my personal use. Quote

postjack Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 ack, my work blocks most photo sites, so I don't know what elephas is talking about. Quote
aerius Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 We're talking about invisible purple unicorns, that's why you can't see the pictures. Quote
philodox Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Weird, so... how much do they suck? Quote
Elephas Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Oh my I am impressed Elephas I like YOU. The PFR-V1's cord is very short, and terminated with a 3.5mm plug. I'm using a 6.3mm adapter and driving it with the AT-HA5000. Source is the Accuphase DP-500. Sound? Actually not bad. Good details, immersive soundstage, crisp treble, overall on the bright side, decent bass impact. It does remind me of the RS-1, SA5000, Airbow SR-SC1 and yes, the K1000 and even the HE60. I don't have an amp for my K1000 yet. I've been looking for one recently and tried it with a Cary CAD 300 SEI. The K1000 sounded very, very good driven by the Cary. I don't think the PFR-V1 is better than the K1000. Quote
Edwood Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Other than IEM's those are the only headphones I've seen that literally look like they are going to rape your ears. -Ed Quote
deepak Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 I like YOU. (> >) (< <) Or however that thing goes. Quote
Elephas Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 The "hooks" that rest over the outside of the ear canal has a hole where sound comes through. They rest lightly and I don't feel uncomfortable. My initial impression is that these are not bad-sounding. I would consider it a specialty headphone, not a replacement for a full-size headphone. Sound quality is roughly about the same level as the MS2i and below the SA5000, RS-1, K701, AD2000 or HD6x0. Quote
philodox Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 (> >) (< <) Or however that thing goes. nono, it's like this: )) <> (( Quote
Elephas Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Hmm, maybe saying it is about the same as the MS2i might be short-changing the PFR-V1. It does some things different from other headphones. It throws a very unique soundstage and imaging is immersive and 3D-like. Treble clarity and details are good. I plugged the PFR-V1 directly into my 2G nano and it sounds OK. A bit thin and lacking in body, but still decent-sounding. Ear shape might be a significant factor. I have small ears that lie flat against my head. When I pull out my ears and move them around a bit with my hands, the sound changes. Quote
Elephas Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 I like it! The PFR-V1 is a keeper. Quote
PFKMan23 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 But is it better than the K1000s? Quote
Elephas Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 No, the PFR-V1 is definitely not better than the K1000. I don't think it's even close. Quote
philodox Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Are you using it with that boostaroo thing or without? Quote
Edwood Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 003 thinks he's got the exclusive on the PFR-V1 or something. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=267404 Elephas, you posted much better pics as well. -Ed Quote
boomana Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 003 doesn't seem quite happy with his, and definitely doesn't like the cable, but he says the presentation reminds him of nearfield speakers. What say you? Quote
