Fischer Audio's flagship earphone is a juggernaut of sound quality and excellent build quality. Its tiny housing will withstand the worst treatment, but where it really excels is its sound. Fischer made a brilliant unit in the DBA-02 MKII: neutral, speedy, and detailed. It is easy to drive and not prone to hiss loudly with poor sources.DBA-02 MKII has Miniature dimensions and incredible quality of sound are provided by the dual band "Balanced Armature" design of the highest class. Separate MF, LF and HF oscillators and the miniature crossover occupy less space than a usual. Special design reduces efficiently external noises and enables to enjoy the finest nuances of favourite music and high sensitivity of headphones makes it possible to use them with any players and cellphones. The twisted cable has been replaced with a flat cable along with stronger strain reliefs to offer better durability. Storage case, earhooks for over-the-ear wearing, clip, 3 pairs of silicone tips (S, M, L size), 2 pairs of semi-transparent single tips with a high rigidity cord (black and white), 1 pair of triple silicone tips, 3 pairs of tips with additional foam ring to improve isolation from external noises and for setting headphones in ears (S, M, L sizes). Of course, if you upgrade to a nice amplifier you will get even better sound, and that is why the DBA-02 MKII is our favourite choice at the price, and at almost any price: it is made for all-around best performance. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Excellent sound and clarity
I had the first version of these IEM's and they sounded great. Unfortunately the quality was sub-par and after 8 months the left side gave up. Fortunately a new version came up and I must admit Fischer Audio did a great job updating these earphones. The feel is a lot sturdier and they do continue to sound awesome. There is no real significant change in the sound signature which translates into a very accurate sound reproduction with very well controlled bass. Many people define the DBA's as bright and bass shy but I do not consider this as a fair depiction of these IEM's. I just believe that the majority of people prefer bass heavy phones and these do not carry that sound characteristic. Personally, I prefer these to my Etymotic HF5, Klipsch S4 and ATH-CKM99.

Astounding Sound Quality
The quality of sound is amazing when I listen to blues and classical music. There is no sound leak and I recommend anyone that want indoor headphones to purchase these, as you may want to hear your surroundings when walking outside. Worth the price.

Good quality - but not as good as Westone
It's good quality and at a reasonable price. I, however still prefer my Westone ones. I found the ones from Westone provide fuller sounds which is more to my liking. These ones give more detailed sounds which isn't my top choice when it comes to listening to music. But I don't think you'll be disappointed at all if you have these.One thing to note ,these don't stay really well when I wear then over ears

And i think the DBA02/B2 is the BEST of them
Sorry i dont have this iem but own another clone of it named Brainwavz B2. Many say them the same. So this is my review for Fisher Audio dba02/B2:I have owed many flagship iems from various well-known audio brand such as: Vsonic gr07, Sony ex1000, Westone 4, JVC FX700..And i think the DBA02/B2 is the BEST of them.Pros: +Crystal clear treble range which turn a little into metal-like treble but i quite like it. Still very smooth.+Crystal clear , detailed, rich, mature and slightly forward Mids range. It is one of the best mids range i have ever heard along with one from the Audeze LCD-2 headphone. I swear that you dont need to try hearing every detail of the instruments or singer's voice on your track. All detail will find the way coming to your ear drum.+Soft, super fast and inoffensive bass. But still very impacted and deep. The bass sounds very alike to one from the Ex1000.Cons:-Cheap feeling build.-There is no mid-bass, only sub-bass.-One-noted bass. Not abundant like the bass from top tier dynamic headphone.Bottom line: I feel this iem very alike to the Sony Ex1000 except it is more balanced in the mids range. The Ex1000 is boosted the high-mids exceedingly.

Would get these again in a heart bit
Although I am not a big fan of IEMs I have enjoyed these. Got them because of great reviews - thousand page long raves on Head-Fi and the such. These were the highest class IEMs I ever bought so cannot really compare to anything except over the ears. Compared to over the ears they are obviously in your ear and you can feel them. They felt analytical and slightly light on base but good on mids and treble from what I can remember. A slight hint of sibilance too and on the thin side perhaps compared to full sized cans with an IEM-type soundstage. But that's to be excepted from IEMs, i suppose. Punch way above their pay grade according to Head-Fi hence got them. For a detailed review sound-wise head over to Head-Fi and type dab-02 in search. Amazon won't allow links.[...]

Crisp, Precise.
These are my entry headphones into the more high-end IEMs, and the other pair I used were sennheiser's hd598s. These headphones have a very beautiful crisp, precise sound in the mids and highs. The instrument separation and soundstage are impressive for IEMs that will not leak sound easily. The bass is not muddy at all, it is nice, punchy, and textured. The precise and crisp sound on these make them ideal for listening to classical and jazz music. I was blown away when I listened to Adele, Buble, and Zimmer with these. I am highly recommend these and can confidently say they were well worth the price.

Need to be burned in
These have amazing sound quality. They are my first IEM and far exceed my expectations. When I first tried them they sounded terrible to the point that I thought there was something wrong. I was sceptical about burning in earphones but sure enough, after 24hrs or so, they sounded completely different. They have a flat response and are excellent for classical music. My normal headphones are AKG 702's and I would say they are similar in terms of treble/base response. If you like a lot of base then they are probably not for you.
