     Yes, I would've said Dual BA if there were two.



Calm down there bold print guy I was just wondering.

Wouldn't underestimate the quality of a single BA, will be interesting to see how it sounds.


 
I don't underestimate singles I have the Ety HF5's which I still listen to even though I have TF10's.

      Just pointing it out. Someone on the forum tested it and said it has the cleanest and balanced sound in comparison to the A151. The frequency chart shows extended bass and treble. The A161 utilizes the TWFK armature, so you guys should have a bit of an idea of the sound signature.

It is a dual, I thought it might be since they already have the A151.  I haven't ever heard the Apple BA so I don't know what the sound signature of the TWFK but if they tune it like the A151 it will probably have some bass boost.

Are there any other IEM's besides these 2 that you know of that use the TWFK?  I might of heard one before and just not know it.

     The UE 700 and I think the Westone 2 or the CK90. I definitely know about the UE 700, but the Westone 2 or the CK90 is what I'm unsure about.

Thanks, 
 
I haven't heard any of thoughs but I still might get the A161's because they make good products at very reasonable prices.

I don't think that's true. It was a single armature at last year's CES when they first showcased it and I'm pretty sure it's a single armature now.

It is, but the TWFK armature can be single or dual.



That's not true either

nice, so essentially its an apple in ear with mee tuning. i wonder what theyll charge
 

 
The ADDIEM does not use a TWFK. It uses what is essentially half of one with another armature.

The Westone 2 and CK90Pro are not TWFK-based as far as I know. The CK90Pro has that acoustic horn system but unless it changes the sound past recognizability, it's a different driver.  The Fischer DBA-02/Brainwavz B2, Phiaton PS200, Nocs NS800, and ATH-CK10 are TWFK-based, however.

I'll trust the almighty joker when it comes to IEM's

 and believe its a single BA.  
 
Joker did you get a chance to listen to it a CES and if so how did it sound?
