I think the crossover is here.
Not sure as i have not seen these in person and I can not tell if it is a 3 way or 2 way.

They look like 2 way crossovers, even from the site pics, this may sound n00bish, but does 3-Way crossover mean they have 3 seperate lil tubes to your ears (i.e. 3 holes, compared to Livewires with the 2 holes?) or is it 3 tubes into 2 holes?
No a crossover is circutry that directs the electronic signals.

I'm disappointed with the build quality too... I was thinking that the cable connection would be a lot better - if the cord was meant to hang down it would be on the bottom of the IEM, and if it was an over-the-top style it would be connected in the same position as the UEs.
Also, I don't like the decals and the whole thing just looks a bit rushed. Disappointing really, because these had so much potential. I'm under the impression though that the FreQ guys rushed this first lot to get them out the door, and that they could do better in time. But you never know, there is still the Music Makers line.
Let's not make any fast conclusions. I think the connection looks poor because they chose to use a clear tube instead of a solid color one, so you can see the glue that they used to glue the tube to the cord.
Also, the build quality looks poor on the shell because I asked for a clear shell, so you can see everything. If it was a solid color, I don't think it would look too bad.
Someone mentioned the crossover - I am wondering also: where the heck is the passive crossover lol. Maybe it is built into that big driver.
Yeah, but a clear shell is standard amongst customs, it's what I would be asking for as well, so no reason for it to be poor, wouldn't that just mean they can do it poorly, and use coloured shells to cover it up?
Think we should cut them some slack, after all they are pretty much new to the field of IEMs. Give em a couple of months i.e. 6 to maybe work out the kinks and stuff.
I think that if the Freq company will carefully read this forum, they will solve all issues within 3-4 months.
But just if they want to make them better.

They are already in Hearing Aid industry for years and the Hearing Aid device should be robust since ppl intend to use them daily.
Hope their IEM won't break as easy as they looked.
