Drop decided to reduce the points awarded, during this current run. On head-fi, one participant (who got in before the reduction) said that so far, Drop is honoring the 4,380 points, that he was awarded, prior to 1.16.2023
Just wanna share that I have these paired with a Topping DX3 V2 and a Schiit Vali 2+ (JJ tubes) and they have the most lifelike vocals I have heard from headphones/IEMs. They scale very well with different DAC/Amps. At the current price it's an absolute bargain.
$219 for the FW1800 (ie FW1500 in Japan) which has the same drivers as the flagship FW10k, plus 4380 Drop Rewards points thrown in - that's not a deal, it's a steal.
ChasingedsingedLooks like the Drop points have been radically reduced. WTH didn’t even know they did that in the middle of an active run. Just a guess but Drop may be game theorycrafting this to incentivize people to go in earlier when a product run goes active - which should boost early purchase numbers and further activate subsequent buying? lol capitalism
Ordered mine here for $399 with Memorial Day $20 USD discount and $15 Drop rewards balance. Figured it was worth a shot for $364, and $75 Drop rewards earned to spend later. At 'only' $289, it's a $teal. ;-)
Will post updates after arrival.
UPDATE #1: Estimated Ship Date was 13 June; showed 'Reserved for Shipment', as of 17 June.
UPDATE #2: E-mail from Drop received, Subject: Drop Update, confirmed 'unexpected delay', on 17 June.
Are these going to have the shirt clip? The fit on the similar FDX-1 is horrible without either putting over ear or (much simpler) a shirt clip. The over ear barely works anyway with that model. I see a JVC branded one which fits the special oval shaped rubber cable on their website, so hopefully this will include one.
That's all it would take to fix the fit, since a shirt clip would carry all the weight of the cable and prevent seal loss.
Frost17DI wasn't a huge fan of the HA-FDX1, it has a colder sound signature and carries less bass. I'd recommend the HA-FW1800 or HA-FW01, the wooden line has superior sound to me.
What does one have to do to get a response from Drop's support regarding this? I have contacted support twice and no response! I need help with my purchase please!
rhpot1991EDIT: They have reached out to me already. Thank you. Still took about a week to do so but at least they did well after they have communicated with me. Thanks again.
Is there a way to tell these apart physically from the HA-FWO1? They look the same.
I’m afraid that if I get this, I’ll get them mixed up and have to go through some unwanted work to figure out which is which.
It’s a serious concern of mine because I don’t have time to mess with that kind of stuff.
Edit: OK. I see that the end caps are all gold on this one.
K.T.NGold end caps, and the included cable is different. These are a little heavier, which lead me to think the size was larger but side by side the body is the same.
I still need more listening time to do a full review, but these are everything you'd want from a JVC woodie. If you liked the HA-FW01 then jump on these. My only complaint is that they didn't include a cable wrap or clip, but the JVC website lists them as included accessories.
