  I tried the heaven 7 and 8 at the USF, and well I think its the best one so far besides well the lab 1. I guess this is the first time I really like a final audio product

Whats are your general impression differences between the 3 models?

 

[Retrias]

They are very much the "same thing but better" as you go up the line from the 7-8-lab1, for example on the heaven 7 the low doesnt extend or became as tight  as the 8  , while the 8 lose some tightness in comparison to the lab 1, its about the same as the high. Cant really say about the mids because I havent really heard anything much better than the 7 and thus the 8 and lab 1 as well, would have to say they sort of reach the best possible mid reproduction for an iem so it cant really be improved. The difference between the 7 and 8 is quiet far , there is no actual sample of the lab 1 so I am going by memory
 
the rest is about the same in my opinion, in the matter of PRAT and soundstaging

So would say the signature type is the same, i.e There is no reason to get the 7 or 8 if you have Lab 1 (flagship) ?

well yeah I guess , if you already have the LAB1, I dont see any reason to buy the other heaven series afterwards , its just that much better

Are the 1601 models easier on the go than the PF models?

 

[sonickarma]

Are the 1601 models easier on the go than the PF models?

Yes most definitely

 

[Mimouille]

Yes most definitely

But the sig is quite close to the PF? I tried the PFVIII and liked it but the the fit is troublesome.
