If they sound good AND stay in one piece (or have a low fail rate), yes, they could. I always liked the SA6 sound, but just got tired of the hassles. And yes, seemed aimed directly at the S4s, which I do own and like. But always room for more, or another, dynamic IEM at this price point.

These have caught my interest. I've been considering picking up a pair of IEMs in the sub $100 range sometime in the near future. They look pretty solid (I like the screw on nozzle piece) and wood too.

I will be eagerly awaiting reviews in the middle of November.

They are in the "unofficial market" currently.
The current version of the iphone cable is a J cord cable, which the sleek staff sees as an "unfinished" product. << Do think about why it has to be implement as a J cord cable.
This was their reply on the 25th of september

Currently we do have iPhone cables but we're not that pleased with it. We are working on a new and improved version of it that we are hoping to release in the next coming months. You can purchase the current iPhone cable by contacting shelley@sleek-audio.com though if you don't want to wait.

Are the metallic looking end cap and removable nozzles made of aluminum or vacuum metallized plastic?

I was pretty tough on Sleek when their SA6s failed twice (and eventually a third time). So I think I owe it to them to try these out. I might even pre-order. Wonder what the return policy is, just in case? I'll have the check the Sleek site.

Default I'll take some

I'd be happy to provide my very first product review on these guys. Being provided a demo pair for review would really help.

There's already a review out there. It doesn't say much on sound quality however.

Yeah, I think the pictures are the best part of that review.

I'm liking the look of the new single-flange tips. Very Sony-hybrid-ish.
