I’m sorry this happened to you.
There are dozens, hundreds, ,maybe thousands who got screwed one way or another.
Atleast im not getting completely ghosted like some other people , it still takes way to much effort on my part and im not sure why they opened a case with singpost instead of postNL but hey , its something?
I just hope they will resolve it properly before 2025
@AcousticAngel sorry for the late Reply
In bloodflow by Grandbrothers 1.19sec that hit just took me away. In ‘Seaside’ the strings were soo smooth. Punch did them Sooo well. Most Guiter Strings, Indie sounds well on Punch. Also listening to ‘All the Unknown’ & ‘Sonic Riots’ by Grandbrothers. Both sounds dope. But yeah if you listen to a lot of laid back tracks I’d prolly rec Tea Pro. That’s another solid rec in the price category.
@Krak3n I did try Punch on my desktop setup s9c+A70p / mojo2+A70p. Sounded better than G5. The vol scale becames a better. Whether or not the bass & treble improves, I still need to A/B. Based on my casual testing XL1+g5/nx7 should be fine for Punch
Edit @AcousticAngel have you listened to Meltt’s songs?
Hopefully they have tuned it well
Nice one, thanks for sharing!
Got things straightened out with DHL and my Punch was delivered yesterday. Had a bit of a scare putting the left cable in. The pins actually bent slightly into almost a parathesis shape (( with very little pressure. I grabbed another cable so I wouldn’t risk more seriously damaging the original. Once that cable went in, I pulled it out, very carefully straightened the pins on the original as much as possible, and it went in fine. Removed it and reinstalled it a few times just to make sure the pins were still strong, and they are. I’m sure it’s a fluke, but just be extra careful when plugging in a cable for the first time.
I plan to put it through the paces today while I work, and maybe a bit of casual gaming later.
I know one thing, it’s a beautiful set with a cable that actually matches. I almost always buy a new cable that fits the IEM aesthetic better (I know, I know) and don’t at all feel the need with this one.
I’m using the CP360 SpinFit tips. If you’re finding they fit a bit too deep, a shallower TWS style tip like those may work better.
I did not start out chill, I blame a combo of getting older, and my wife … yeah mostly my wife.
Hell, this fall could have its own “best of”. Seriously, you could just look at stuff that shipped after September 22nd.
Ziigaat had bangers scattered all year, with Arcadia and Doscinco being my favorites, but Cinno was good, just different tuning. Aful had Explorer, MagicOne ( also an unusual tuning ), and the new Performer 5+2 ( out of my price range ). Letshuoer did a new S12, S08, S125, and Cadenza4, plus the refresh of Cadenza 12. Then there are the Simgot sets with EW300, EA500LM, EM6L, and SuperMix4. The insane year ThieAudio had with the Prestige LTD, Origin, the three Hype models, plus Valhalla and a new Monarch.
That leaves out the one offs like the FatFreq Deuce ( which might be disqualified for the shipping mess ), and the Sivga Que. Also the 7Hz Elua and Kiwi Ears Punch, which I haven’t heard, yet. Plus all the sets I just never got around to, for which I probably missed at least two Dunu sets, and
This year was also a great year for budget, since the under $100 bracket sounds nearly on par with the under $250 from three years ago. 2024 was a crazy good year for Ch-Fi.
I think my top sets this year are Arcadia, Explorer, Doscinco, Que, S08, R1, and MagicOne, but I am really torn on the order. Worth noting that Doscinco was the most expensive in there and I got it on sale around $240. Sivga Que was a steal at $70, and Artti R1 is usually under $60.
Hi everybody! Thank you very much for your support and mentioning our problem) we tried to write at head-fi 3 times but our posts were deleted quickly. we are also trying to use reddit to get attention to our problem with Fatfreq. I don’t see any other option except public attentionn becaus FF have not answered me for about 8 months, I even tried to write to them by their fb, inst, through their American dealer but with 0 sucess, they just ignored me completely. I am working with more than 60 companies and it is the only such a company in the world with such terrible behaviou. Thank you to take attention to their fraudulend and unlawful practice. if you have any questions I can answer them here.

Thank you for understanding! Our market and our business are not very big and those 11-12k USD of undelivered earphones is quite a serious problem for our budget.
Hi Dmitry, so sorry to hear that. Has Fatfreq been in contact with you since that post on Head-fi was deleted? Do you still have the Head-fi account or did that get deleted/banned too?
this is their email from Dec 19, 2023 that they still own me 3 GM, 3 Maestro SE and 4 Minis. After that email I got just 1 SE and 1 Mini in February 2024. After that I have never get any earphones anymore or even any responce despite I wrote to them about a hundred times by all possible ways - email, whatsapp, facebook, instagramm and so on. How is it possible??
no, I don’t get any reaction. Last time I posted a thread there in August I got an answer from Sebastian Chiu, their American representative. He promised me some help with communicating with them but after a few days he also stopped answered me.
they are always writing different excuses, promised they already sent it or would be send day to day - but in the end of the day they never sent me alsoms half of my orders.
Sebastien is no longer with Fatfreq btw.
Edit: Ufff I guess we’ll have an entertaining HBB video on Monday at this rate.
Watching FF lately with the Deuce, (and Scarlet Mini before that), have been like seeing a plane crash happening. Now that more and older stuff appears it is truly a plane crash in super slow motion. A Deuce for a given person can be a hard blow, and surly not all small businesses can take five figure hits. Hope it all works out soon. I can not understand how they can act like silence will make the problems go away now. Every hour without a good explanation, solution and an apology double the fallout……
Seems like calling it the Deuce was prescient…
Hello Dmitriy, very happy to see you here, hopefully my message was helpful in finding this thread, not sure if the chat on your website works though.
I do hope that people here who have the voice in this space will be able to give publicity to this and help resolve your situation. My sincere best wishes to you and your business.
In addition to FatFreq, Head-Fi behavior is outrageous. So again, I’m truly happy that you’re here.
One thing I know for sure, @hawaiibadboy won’t let this slide.
