AFAIK, there are only a handful of armature manufacturers (Knowles, Sonion, ...) anyway, and those armatures aren't very expensive.

I think the drivers are Knowles because there is a K looking logo on the big driver.

Isn't grandenigma getting his soon? He sent in his impressions at the same time I did, and he also lives closer to Florida.

The email I received from them said I should have them Fri/Sat some time. It appears as if they took a bit longer on mine then yours. I will let you all know when they arrive.

Don't you love how fast and informative this company is?

Jgonino, since you got your impressions done professionally, you won't be disappointed with the sound at all. This thing sounds amazing... I think it'll only get better with a good amp.

The comfort of the customs are setting in now. I can almost forget that they are there. I actually slept with them on last night - tugged on the cable a few times and it's fine.

It's so easy to drive these things. I would estimate that they are 20-30% louder than the SF5, which are already super loud.

It's good to see you are liking them powertoold, when you sending 'em back to get fixed?

I've decided to give LiveWires ago, and sent my order off today. Should be good, will see how the MM series turns out!

Just wanted to pop in with my $.02.
I have been impressed with the service people here have gotten from FreQ and with the favorable report on SQ I have been seriousely considering an order. So I sent of an email to them with a few questions (I am a concert photographer and I want some custom ear plugs as well) Derrik replied within minutes. I fired back some more questions and soon recieved an email from Todd!! They answered the questions and gained a customer through their service. It is clear that they are a small company, new to the market, but even more clear is their commitment to the customer. This is the kind of company I want to deal with. And on top of all of that, they charge a VERY fair price!!!!

I have to agree there, they have awesome customer service, which still leaves me ready to purchase one of their products, maybe when their MM line comes out, I'll look into that.

For now, I've gone for the LiveWires to make use of the free money I had been given, but might get some single driver ones for funsies when I get my impressions back.

thanks for the review OP!! they do look cheap but hey you are paying almost pennies for some customs, no complaints there.
i think its a bit unfair (and maybe a bit biased on your behalf) to say they sound amazingly good, i mean even the OP states he has not got 100% perfect seal and what is the most important thing to get any decent sound at all? so i sence a bit of bias reviewing there.

but hey you did it, you got the impressions up and you spent the cash on some unfamiliar cans, congrats! and thanks again

Just to let you know livewires don't give you back your impressions they keep them in storage, incase you need anything else done later on!!
