Also no sales tax.Goal: I always liked the Westone UM20Pro and Shure SE425 dual driver IEMs for clarity. However, both products lacked a convincing low end. It was like the kick drum was hitting a cardboard box. The H3 gives you the dual driver armatures and adds a 10mm dynamic driver subwoofer section. It’s the best of all worlds. With the dynamic which moves air, you’ll feel the low end not just hear it. The FCS-H3 (Hybrid Three-Way) is designed for specifically as a live stage in-ear monitor. As a result, the sound will remain consistent and clear at any volume level to compete with live amplified stage instruments. The low end of the H2 is a powerful titanium diaphragm 10mm dynamic subwoofer. It’s tuned and ported to deliver a balanced tight punchy low end. The mid-high frequencies are covered by dual driver balanced armatures. We went through dozens of drivers and tuning mesh adjustments to find the perfect seamless compliment to the H3’s sub section. Included in the package is an oversized IEM case and a plethora of tips to make sure you get the proper seating or seal. · Bass Driver 10mm Dynamic · Mid/High Driver Dual High-Performance Balanced Armatures · Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20KHz · Impedance: 16 Ω±20％ at 1KHz 1mW(0.102V) · Sensitivity: 105dB±3dB/1mW · Rated Power: 3mW · Maximum power: 5mW · THD <= 5% @1kHz, 0.01m, 1mW · Cable 64” with Glide · Warranty 1 Year Let’s start out discussing the drivers in the FCS-H3 (hybrid three-way). In a nutshell, you have a 10mm titanium dynamic bass driver same size as the Future Sonics G10 which is known for great bass response. In addition, there’s a dual driver armature driver like in the Westone UM20Pro & Shure SE425. Best of both worlds. You get the massive low end of the Future Sonics with the high-end clarity of the Westone & Shure products. The low-end driver portion on the FCS-H3 is ported which will provide a slight ambient introduction to your mix. Tunable EQ possibilities of the FCS-H3. Every good (expensive) earphone I’ve purchased, even the ones I considered great, I’ve had to EQ to my liking on stage. We all have different desires as to what is perfect. With my sound company, Freq City Sound, we have a warehouse full of active line arrays, wedges and center-fill speaker boxes. They all have built-in DSP (Digital Speaker Processing). When I first started out in the sound business my idea was to EQ them to sound perfect. The thing is, we all hear differently. Perfect for me may not be for you. You’ve heard guys mixing a band and it sounded too bright or too much low end etc. To the guy at the board – it was perfect. We need the ability to tune to our liking the speakers in our ear monitors. The way we set up our speaker boxes now, is a flat EQ. It gives the engineer a good starting point when he arrives at the console to tune the system the way he wants to hear it. Earphone manufactures tune their earphones to sound good to listeners using no EQ. Way more than half of their clients are personal listening dudes and the other half live sound. Plug them into your phone on the subway and they sound damned good. I maintain that a stage may have different challenges over a subway. The FCS-H3 hybrid three-way earphones do sound good right out of the shoot (it’s what I listen too on my riding lawn mower) however, I’ve designed them with a huge sweep of EQ tunable capability. Over the years I’ve sold and used Shure, Westone, Future Sonics & Aurisonics IEMs. I have pretty much taken what I was given because back then, we didn’t have all the EQ-ing possibilities we do now. Most players are now using systems that allow them to EQ their ears. Ever said to yourself, “my earphones sound good but if they had just a bit more…….” if this is your situation, you’re going to really like these earphones. You can make the low-end stupid or the high-end painful. You will not be limited to what our regular go to manufacturers determine perfect. We all have different desires as to what is “perfect.” Freq City Sound performed the following tests on the FCS11D, FCS11B and the FCS-H3 Hybrid HEAT / HUMIDITY We cooked the earphones at 103 degrees with 95% humidity for 48 hours (you’ve played that show). No change in the earphone’s performance or issues with resins and/or adhesives. DROP TESTS We dropped the earphones from 5’ (belt pack or table height from where they usually fall) a dozen times to a concrete floor. No change in the earphone’s performance. COLD Low temp test 25 degrees for 6 hours then room temp for 2 hours - No change in the earphone’s performance. Emails from FCS-H3 Owners Hey Mike, I received the FCS-H3 yesterday, Thanks for the fast shipping. I ordered these because my ultimate ears custom molded IEM’s are corroded where the cable connects and cut out when I move my head. I have to say that I did a side-by-side comparison and there really is no comparison. The FCS-H3 IEM’s blow away the Ultimate Ears I spent $500 plus on about 10 years back. The ultimate ears are harsh and midrange heavy the FCS-H3 are warm and smooth sounding. I can’t wait to use them at the gig this weekend Thank you!! Ken / Bare Bones Acoustic Band Mike, OMFG! Got my shipment of the FCS-H3’s today. Plugged them into my iPad and went through a bunch of tunes I have, switching tips till I found the most comfortable and best sealing. As you know, I’ve purchased several of your various low to mid-priced IEM’s. As a drummer, I like “feeling” the thump of the kick drum and bass guitar. Well, I have definitely found “MY” IEM’s. The FCS-H3 delivers that low punch I’ve been looking for. Any drummer, bass player or anyone looking for a set of buds that gives crystal clear mids and highs with a solid low end owes it to themselves to grab a pair of these IEM’s. Hands down the BEST purchase I’ve made through you. Thank you! Dean Roussel Hi Mike, FCS-H3 arrived today, and I just plugged them in and listened to that audio track you emailed. All I can say is WOW! I’m coming from Westone IEMs to the H3. Massive improvement. It’s hard to believe all this sound is coming from an earphone. It’s unreal. Mike, the package was received and the H3’s is definitely punching above their weight class. Above that however, your directions and emailed audio track were exactly what I needed to get the best sound from them. Thank you for your time and customer service. In March/April retuning for the MI-58 transmitter/receiver set. Beau Hi Mike, I rec’d the shipment in good order and found some tips and have been listening to recordings that I have made and have been involved with mastering reviews. The FCS-H3 is a very nice portable headset. At first blush, the reproduction of my recorded music is very familiar as are many of my recorded favorites. Saying that ‘I sound like me’ is a good complement. Saying that I can tell which of my trumpets was used on a recording, a big tip of the hat. Sound is not colorized, not predominating in any predominating part of the frequency spectrum. Any criticism is by comparison to other headsets, and that would need to be qualified by saying that the FCS-H3 is at the higher end of my experience of quality of sound, particularly with an in-ear set. There are modest mid and upper-mid attributes/driver slightly more efficiently transmitted than low end (acoustic bass), and extreme high end (snare crispiness, cymbal sizzle) that are more noticeable with the higher energy levels pieces. Trumpet/sax/flute sounds very good. I anticipate that this set will suit me well on the stage; as a wind player, I often contend with stage volume issues, (typically guitarists and bass players) who often dominate both the mix, as well as stage volume and also the low and low mid volume spectrums. I also have occasion to work with orchestras in pop settings which opens a whole raft of challenges, and I think these will be great for balance in the mix.

Best regards, Rex Hey Mike, There's definitely a big sonic improvement over my Shure IEMs. I can actually hear the depth of the reverb and delay from a guitar tone. The hard-shell case is also a nice touch and I have zero worries about taking these on the road. Thanks again! Blade Geer Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
