Right now we are looking at $350-400 for the universals. No pricing yet on the custom version.
350$ for an msrp starting point is pretty good , right now Shure's E500 are actually the cheapest of the 3 driver IEMs(going for 328$ on ebay with the PTH) , when they release the none-PTH version it might go for lower as that alone retails for like 50$. the triple fi10 msrp is 399$ but they're still barely sold to see how much their real price will be eventually(380$ if u take the 5% off with the coupon right now) .
Price sounds reasonable. It's pretty much set by the competitive market anyways, especially for those who are not first to market...
I'm also still interested in finding out if they isolate better than the Shure E500 using the same tips (foamies). I'm glad they don't jut out of your ear like a stick (a.k.a. Triple.fi ;-)
As for isolation, most universals of this type (E500, E5, UM2, 3) are going to give you an average of 20-25dB using a foam tip. This can increase a few dB when using a triflange or custom tip.
HI and thanks for introducing the new iem ! I'm very interested ..
..how would you describe the character for the sound that's coming out of them , compared to other well known iem ..?
..if you want take into consideration that generally speaking I've been used to read "power and warm" character for the e500 and more cold - detail character for the ue10 pro ..
thanks in advance for answering
