The FA-003Ti interested me, because he has a huge fan base in various US forums.
The Ti is the upgrade of the FA003; the dynamic drivers are coated with titanium, will lead to sound improvement.
Now the product.
Caveat:
The headphones must necessarily be recorded 60 hours, otherwise the midrange is too harsh; almost not bearable.
The import process is quite simple: Place a music CD into the laptop / PC; Laying KH to the 3.5 jack output of the sound card in a drawer and allow a few days to play on medium volume to himself.
The hardware:
The handset has a very stable. He's not a poser or pretty boy but developed for "form follows function".
The strap is made entirely of steel, brushed in the visible range and padded nicely on the head part. The handset itself is made of coated plastic with brushed metal deposits. The pressure is strong; but can be adjusted by slightly bending work.
Included are two pairs of pinnae; Imitation leather and suede. The cable is pretty long (3m) and is securely anchored and color coded on 3.5er plug in the headphones.
The adjustment of the strap runs tired locked and can be quickly carried out in parallel on the left and right.
At just 300 grams, the KH contributes very pleasant.
For sound:
After the (admittedly somewhat lengthy) process of business 003Ti compensated with a very neutral and fully grown sound. The frequency response is fairly linear and extremely low harmonic distortion (see Stereo 12/2014; large headphone test).
Most headphones available are bent more or less in the frequency response. This is intended by the manufacturers and makes listening generally pleasant and appealing. Currently preferred listeners are to give a more or less strong bass enhancement, a central depression and an increase in the upper frequencies to the sound "brilliance".
Such changes in the sound are often also made to weaknesses of the headphones compensate.
For example, if the upper bass range is thickened, you can easily hear that the headphones less to barely delivers deep bass.
The 003Ti is not tuned.
He trains himself in linear frequency response as possible, creating a wonderfully neutral sound. It starts already at 10Hz transmission frequency. The entire frequency range is very nimble and not concentrated. When the music delivers deep bass or kick bass, he gives this again also bloodcurdling; otherwise it is very precise and defined.
This also applies to the mids and highs. Nothing is glossed over. When recording provides a sharp and dominant midrange him of 003Ti is also so again; Similarly record heights.
Good shots are an aural poem about this handset; He has (for a closed bud) an accurate and beautiful tiered stage; plays on detail; even the finest nuances in the music to be carved out. Even in hard rock or metal shots are heard details that are concealed elsewhere. The listener can be real pressure on the ears at higher volumes; by the low THD also up to extreme levels (which you can hardly hear the outside because of the good shielding).
Neutral naturally also has a (small) downside: For ill-recorded material of headphones schönt this; It can be annoying sometimes good music that was poorly preserved to hear about this handset. Then helps only a handle to the sound settings of player bearable to the sound.
Overall, I can say that he who seeks a neutral coordinated and well-made headphones and ready this little break-in period is to give place to the Fischer Audio FA003Ti a really inexpensive representatives of these virtues. By matching music is reproduced as it was preserved. With good recordings a real poem about all genres (especially in this price range). With poor shooting better tone control or something more gracious headphones (eg the PSB M4U1 / 2).
From me, therefore for this part 5 star +
