Now back in stock! Last day for the discount, ends at midnight!

SOLD OUT! More are coming in today, when they arrive I'll update the site and you have one last chance to purchase it at the discounted price up to 12pm tonight

Hi Ozbargain!

This time we've got something new to share with you… A very cheap balanced armature earphone!
Balanced armature drivers are quite expensive and are usually reserved for professional In Ear Monitors that are priced at $100+
It's called the FEELS Pro900 and it's designed and made in Korea (usually better quality than China), the build quality is very impressive.

What's even more surprising is that it has a decent amount of bass, unlike most single armature earphones out there. To top it off the isolation and comfort is top notch!
It's brand new so not many reviews have come up yet… but a few people's tried it here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1986289

To use the coupon code go to your cart and there will be a coupon code field on the left hand side.

We're so confident in these that we're giving you a 14-day guarantee.
If you're unhappy with it for the price you paid, let us know and we'll refund your money minus a small fee.

How good is that?

P.S. These have a moderate amount of bass. If you love your bass the Hippo VB is back in stock now.

Also join our facebook page, we're giving away a pair of VBs this weekend!
http://www.facebook.com/JabenAU

** Orders up to #245 has been shipped (Monday 15/08)! If you want them at this price, purchase them ASAP because there's only around 25pcs left in this batch as of 6pm. Next batch will be regular priced =( **
Delivery time is from 1-5 days. It's sent from Melbourne so VIC will get it within 1-2 days, NSW 2-3 days, QLD 2-4 days, WA 3-5 days. Those times are approximate but should be right 90% of the time!

        If I understand correctly (despite people's fear of Chinese products) SoundMAGIC has a pretty good reputation regarding durability and performance-per-price, while this FEELS brand… I've never heard of.

        Your advantage would likely be on the local warranty and shipping (as opposed to mp4nation's 2-4 weeks delivery).

      The term 'armature' (in electrical engineering) is given to the freely rotating section of an electric motor or electric generator (sometimes called a dynamo). The main significance of the term is to distinguish between the part of the component that is free to rotate as opposed to the 'stator' which is - you guessed it - stationary. In essence, the armature consists of anything from the coils (which further consist of multiple windings of insulated wire, or loops), brushes (most often conducting carbon which sit up against copper slip rings in AC generators or a copper commutator in DC generators) and the tension providing devices (think springs) to ensure said brushes maintain contact on the slip rings/commutator at all points of rotation.

      Now without having investigated the particular details of this earphone model, I assume that a well balanced armature ensures a signal that more closely resembles a perfect sinusoidal function, as opposed to an imbalanced armature (this could mean an imperfect circular motion of the rotating loops/coils, perhaps leading to a dilated elliptical motion or something similar). An imbalanced armature would then, in turn, correspond to a slightly skewed output signal). In the case of the output, as in headphones, earphones, speakers and the like, an imbalanced armature would produce an irregular motion even when a crisp signal was fed into the device. The result would be distortion, slight variations of force acting on the vibrating and sound producing filament that were not intended, nor encoded in the signal.

      Further research supports that indeed a balanced armature will correspond to an increase in electrical efficiency. Upon reflection this seems logical to me, and I expect that an irregular motion of the armature would lead to more complicated vectorial forces (perhaps with increased outwards force components). In turn this could lead to friction and a general loss of energy in the form of heat, light and perhaps most importantly SOUND (something quite important in a listening device as any external sounds not intended could disrupt the final listening fidelity of the signal). Further to this point, any loss in energy in the system itself is essentially a loss of final output energy acting on the diaphragm. A generalised conclusion to draw at this point would be that the overall amplitude of the output sound wave would be decreased, perceived as a decrease in volume (I presume by an amount insignificant to the hearing capabilities of the human ear). However, this general conclusion does not account for any transformations of sound content as well as sound volume. This is a topic of much interest and could very well make a great investigation. I hope my explanation has intrigued you to further broaden your understanding of electric motors, generators and how these apply to speakers, earphones etc.

      For further information, I encourage you to refer to the following sources of explanation (of which many hours can be spent studying!)

    how is this compare to re0 and re-Zero Op?

    • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 13/08/2011 - 18:45

      I think they're at the same level in terms of overall sound quality…
      Considering how highly peeps think of the RE0, it's quite an accomplishment at a lower price.
      However this has more quantity of bass compared to the slightly lean RE0

      The RE-0 might have the edge on detail, will have to have a longer listen.
      It's more comfortable and has a normal sized plug compared to the massive one on the RE-0.
      That was the main reason I personally stopped using the RE0, my iphone favourite case didn't work with it =(

      Don't have an RE-zero to compare at the moment, sorry bud

      Find me a cheaper BA delivered to Australia for under $54.
      In the very unlikely event that you do, add to that the value of quick delivery (1-4 days as opposed to 2-4 weeks) and local warranty…

      Truthfully, we have to pay 7% import duty and GST on the way in and pay 10% GST when we sell it.
      Therefore we should charge at least 17% MORE than what overseas folks are charging, but we're cutting most of our profits because I thought Australia deserved to not be ripped off for once.

      I thought we were doing well, I suppose some people are never happy…

      Hi mate,

      I haven't compared them directly so this is going to be a bit confusing, but bare with me.

      I distinctly remember the RE0 as clearly superior to the R02 when I compared them.
      I also compared the RE0 to the Pro900 and I can say that the FEELS is at about the same level of overall sound quality.
      Mind you, they sound quite different but if I were to give them a score they'd be pretty close.

      Therefore R02<RE0 but because RE0=Pro900 it kind of becomes R02<Pro900?

      Of course this contains a lot of guesswork since I didn't compare them directly so take it with a grain of salt!

      Everyone's heard of Bose as well and they suck balls. Monster's Beats by Dre also suck balls in terms of highs (VERY nice aesthetics, and noise isolation [although it's active noise cancellation/ battery powered so that's cheating], roaring base).
      Sennheisers are quite good depending on which ones you get, they might look expensive in Australia but if you know where to look, you can get them for a very affordable price, there are a few lemons as well, and some of the products' naming systems don't go too well.. for e.g. HD218s and HD238s don't sound good but the HD228s blow the beats by dre headphones out of the water (trading beats by dre's roaring bass for sennheiser's punchy and balanced bass + clarity).
      There are a few brands that I always steer clear from. But just because you've heard of a brand doesn't mean it's neccessarily good.
      Haven't had a chance to listen to SHURE, only seen the massive price tags on each IEM.

        Firstly, I did not wanted to sound like a rude snob or anything like that :) I have set of Sennheiser HD 270 that I have purchased about 7 years ago. I still use them and enjoy the crisp sound. The reason as to why I mentioned the SE215's is because they have been rated by so many audiophiles and they are the best bang for a buck at this time. I do agree that if you haven't heard of a brand doesn't mean that it is not good, I just expressed my personal opinion :) From experience, I stay away from unknown Korean, Chinese, Japanese brands. On the end of the day, the dude that is selling them sounds pretty down to earth, so get them, test them and judge for yourself. However it is, this deal is very good :)

  • shawn_low on 14/08/2011 - 03:39

    I used the Etymotic ER4P before ditching it for the made-in-China RE0 (great value for money…85% of the ER4P quality at a 1/4 of the price) until one side stopped working. I'll need to open it up to see if the connections are shot. It lasted about 15 months?

    Finally picked up the Triple Fi 10 (http://www.jaben.com.au/products/Ultimate-Ears-Triple.Fi-10.…). There are three balanced armatures in these IEMs! I find it a tad large for my ear but Amazon has listed them in their last two Black Friday sales for an incredibly cheap price of US$95 or so. Bargain. If you can wait, I'd recommend picking these up or trawling Head-Fi and other forums for people who are flipping the Black Friday bargains. Best-value IEMs in my opinion.

    But these Jaben-listed IEMs look to be great value for money.

    Can anyone shed some light on whether the FEELS would be a significant upgrade from the Sennheiser CX300-II?

    Also, any chance of getting a discount code for the hippo VBs? There's too many good reviews out there for them and I'll definitely grab a pair if there's a discount.

    • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 14/08/2011 - 10:14

      What sort of upgrade are you looking to get? If it's more bass then the answer's probably no.
      The FEELS is more accurate and detailed, if that's what you're looking for then I suppose it's an upgrade.

      Hippo VBs are already discounted! If you're looking for deep and punchy bass (and not just "punchy", it feels like someone's kicking you in the brain at times) they're the best I've tried under $100. Next step up would probably be the Radius TWF11 at close to $200…

      We can't, sorry =( Either our supplier is screwing us or those are grey imports.
      Either way if we sell it at that we'll be losing money

    Does FEELS PRO900 needs amp to perform better? If so, will you be able to do a bundle with Hippo BOX+?

    • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 14/08/2011 - 14:48

      It sounds fine without an amp, but like everything else out there it will be better with one…
      Send me an e-mail at [email protected] for a bundle =)

    Damnit, my headphone allowance for this year was blown when I bought the MS-Pros :(

    Buying it anyway >.> YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH

    EDIT: When are you guys getting those AluMod's for the alessandro MS-1? I'm considering buying an MS-1 solely so I can do the AluMod on it…

      Haha that's certainly a fair point…
      We're fairly well known for introducing great value stuff though (eg. VBs, mylarones etc) and I think this one is one of our better finds.

      If you'd like to try the demo unit send me an e-mail!

  • punk on 14/08/2011 - 12:08

    I don't like too much bass so these seems a good deal to me especially for detail. How's the sound? Slightly warm sounding? I lean towards audio technica for my earphones and I love the way some of them allow for me to extend the cord with a longer cord. What cord length is this and does it seem really thin to you? Is it one of those Y shape ones or is it around the neck loop? Yeah the cord is pretty important to me :p

    • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 14/08/2011 - 15:24

      Hi mate, its got a fairly typical single armature sound (detailed, great clarity etc) with slightly more bass which I suppose makes it a tad warmer overall.
      Compared to the general AT sound I'd say it's fairly similar sound signature with perhaps a bit less "sparkle" on the highs.

      In regards to cord length, do you mean those ones where the plug stops around at your chest and you'll have to use an extension?
      The Pro900 has a normal symmetrical ones (Y shape) and it's 1.2m long. So enough to go to your pocket with a spare 5-10cm depending on how tall you are. From there you can use an extension cord if you'd like!

      The cord from the plug is a flat type cord (not ridiculously wide like the beats however), then when it splits it's fairly standard sized cables. Not thick but not super thin either.

    ordered 1 !!!
    Your customer service just sold me :)
    How long will it take for the normal shipping?

      Thanks! Shipping will take anywhere from 1 to 5 days depending on how far you are.
      Melbourne should only take one day (so will arrive Tuesday), NSW 2-3 days and QLD 3-4 days and NT 4-5 days.

      It's basically up to the postman/woman how long it'll take. Be especially nice next week!

  • wardy150 on 14/08/2011 - 17:21

    Was about to buy sennheiser cx300 II. Anyone know how these would compare?

    • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 14/08/2011 - 17:32
      +1

      I answered this question in regards to an upgrade from cx300 above but in short the Pro900 is better in most ways except for the amount of bass it contains.
      If you like a fair bit of bass, you might be better off going to a Hippo VB instead.

      That said the cx300 are definitely not bad, just not as good as the two I mentioned

      P.S. Careful with the cx300, there are lots of fakes around!

    • z10cvbnm on 14/08/2011 - 17:33

      I don't have FEELS Pro however if you are a basshead I would assume CX300 is the way to go. But CX300 II was only around 35AUD, so obviously the 2 are different in terms of price.

      EDIT: beaten by the OP! LOL but nevertheless we share same opinion. :P

      • wardy150 on 14/08/2011 - 17:44

        Ah my bad, didn't see that earlier comment.
        Warming to see good customer service, have added jaben to my bookmarks.

        Ps- where have you seen cx300 II for 35au? Cheapest ive seen is 68 at jb.

          Never buy from JB mate. Most of the times they are overpriced.

          They were on sale at mymemory few weeks back (just checked, apparently all sold out ouch) for GBP20.99 (GBP1.95 for shipping), so around 35AUD shipped.

          Depending on your budget there are alternatives out there (vs JB). Just need to look around.

          PS: I got nothing against JB. :)

        • sirdinotheice on 15/08/2011 - 02:12

          Do you know any other places selling the Sennheiser CX 300-II for that price? Seems like a real bargain at $35!

  • DvD on 14/08/2011 - 18:07

    just wondering…will these work on a Samsung Galaxy S2?

    • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 14/08/2011 - 18:10

      They will work on anything with a 3.5mm jack.
      Includes ipods, iphones, laptops, BBs etc.

      • DvD on 14/08/2011 - 18:36

        its not …thats why i asked

        e.g when i hook up the old S1 's headset it sounds like underwater on the S2…
        even a normal earphones will sound like underwater…can hear music but not the actual vocal..
        just wondering if you folks will have one around to test out.

        • issh on 14/08/2011 - 18:40

          Could it be similar to this problem?

          Oh no! So headphones that usually work doesn't on your phone?
          Does the plug actually fit in the jack?

          And if it does, does any headphone work with it? If so does that headphone have three black lines on the silver/gold plug?

          It's like a riddle, but it might be that the phone only accepts earphones with the three black lines (longer plug) which usually contain a mic as well.
          If it's not this, your phone's jack might be busted =(

      • DvD on 16/08/2011 - 15:55

        yea..looks like same 3.5 and length

        but is a gold with 3 white lines…so i guess only accepts headphones with a mic like you said…

        you guys have anything like that ?

        • caprimulgus on 16/08/2011 - 17:29

          i assume you can probably get a 3.5mm (2 section) to 3.5mm (3 section) adapter. if not, you could make it if you can solder (the parts are easily bought from dick smith).

          i would rather buy an adapter and use whatever earphones i want, rather than buying earphones specific to device.

        • Store RepJaben Australia @ Jaben Audio Australia on 16/08/2011 - 17:34

          Yep, the shroom-i sounds like it'll work perfectly.
          The sound is pretty darn good too. During the sale, the FEELS is probably slightly better value but at the original prices they're both fantastic.

          Difference of sound in a few words: the shroom will be a bit more punchy but less detailed.

          Or as the person above said, you can make/buy an adapter!

        • zappy32 on 16/08/2011 - 18:00

          You might also want to check that you don't have TV OUT enabled. TV Out uses the 3.5mm socket and will cause distortion on some regular headphones.
