Very interested to hear what you think about them!
well from the first listen from my iphone, without foam, it sounded verry hollow..
right now burn around 1 hour+- and listen again.. very resolving but also very bright. intimate sound
Real impression might have to wait till tonight as my work environment can be quite noisy (open door, near streets)

You definitely need foams on the Tomahawks. I started with donut foams but it was a bit too bright so I changed to full foams. That was my sweet spot and now I love them.
A few hours and finally using the foam. Nice and comfy actually. Sound wise, Whoa. It was nothing like I ever heard before. Argh! Busy with work. Can't listen properly yet. Back to burn machine.

So true, I like how the Tomahawks are designed to be used with foams. Some bassier earbuds are far too low end dominant with foams but lose out on extension without them. The Tomahawks are the best of both worlds, still quite neutral but also extended with foams. Of course Monk+ foams achieve almost the same effect, but I found the Tomahawks to be a little too thin.
around 5 hours of burn, while I'm still busy with work my friends came over and I let them try the half cooked tomahawk.
Most response are positive and engaging. But one friend who owns couple of Sony, Senns and monk+ amuses me.
"it's like being handed an instrument, shown how it's played and then smash it to my face!"
LOL hard.

SeaHF = Bug guy, the original maker / OEM for both Headphone Association, (presumably) DarkHouse as well as TY Hi-Z. Note that I said 'presumably' because DarkHouse is a brand invented by AE seller and not directly associated with Bug guy. Headphone Association and TY Hi-Z on the other hand are both working with Bug bug directly - therefore by reason of elimination, DarkHouse is probably either Headphone Association or TY Hi-Z.
Here is the difference between Headphone Association's and Hi-Z's 400ohm:
The Hi-Z 400ohm has arrived, here are its measurement against Headphone Association 400ohm, both naked as well as with foam:
The graphs pretty much shows how I have heard between them - without any foam, I like the Hi-Z a bit better, as it sounds more balanced to my ear while HA tends to be a bit more forward on the mid. With foam however, I prefer the HA a bit better as Hi-Z becomes a bit too smooth. But as you can see, the tuning is actually not that different between the two as both are both on the warmish, richer sounding side of things. Overall sound quality is pretty much on par as they have more similarity than difference.

"Foam Rolling"?
I do the same thing. There is a right foam for the right earbud, I just have to find it.
I must say, I do love those light VE Red/Blue covers Lee sends out with his stuff.
