  Ewen, would you say the bass is too much for a bass-head who likes techno? Does it overpower everything?

Too much for a neutral guy like me.
A basshead may find it a little bit shy.

D**m! Didn't see that one coming! I'll probably be getting these as well.

 
.....At least it beats getting Chinese IEMS that are way over priced and falling apart. I'm referring to the one that's referred to as "no name".

  **** is also one of the better "top-tier diy's" coming from China. I can count on good sound and good quality.

Better news! Thanks to you, I canceled the order for the REMAX RM-800MD and decided to order "two" **** 4in1's -one in black and one in silver! They cost me 228 RMB each ($34 US dollars each).
.....You just saved me some change!

I checked out those Remaxes and I'm surprised how many IEMs coming out of China right now are using the Knowles balanced armatures available for very low prices on electronics parts sites.

That's great. I do hope they're good though. It seems that **** has made a lot of good ones in the past (M2, UE, VT66) so they should be okay. The 4in1 looks like it will be very comfortable in the ears.

They look great. Eagerly awaiting your impressions on them.

I just found a new hybrid from **** too. $39

Knowles 30042+9.2mm beryllium ;its components is similar with **** UEs.

There HAS to be a limit to this. At what point do IEMs no longer need more speakers? Even home theatre setups aren't using 9 different frequency bands, why does it seem like the trend in IEMs is to cram as many drivers in as possible? 2+1 seems like plenty.

As long as they are implemented well the more the merrier. In the case of the 2.1 MusicMaker TK13 vs the 4.1 MusicMaker SW3, the S3 has two more BAs and it shows with the clarity and separation

Ordered the IEM that shall not be named from the seller that shall not be named before all this debacle. Was very happy with it, sound wise, but the cable had a crack in it. Fine, they say they have sent a replacement, though I haven't received a tracking number.

Yesterday, while tip rolling, the whole inner part (unpainted metal thingie, with the stem etc) came out of the housing while removing a tip. Not exactly what I'm expecting from a $150 IEM. Now on to see if they deal with this in a good way or try to screw me over. I was pretty p****d off yesterday, now having to use tape in order to not have the most expensive audio item I've ever bought fall apart every time I take it out of my ear.

Tape. $150. Does not compute.

Tried wiggling the same part on the other housing, and while it's not coming out, it does move. Not very confidence inducing... Since it does move, I suppose I would be able to wiggle it loose. While I'm not going to try, using them regularly on the commute, they are going to get wiggled. I expected these to last me for many years to come, and they start falling apart after two weeks. I've had KZ IEMs that I've tried to recable (a pair of ED9), and for the life of me I couldn't get the housing open, despite trying for over an hour with every tool I could think of that I had laying around.. That is the kind of build I expect, and it's pretty sad I get it from an IEM that costs $10 or something but not this.

Just when i was about to pull the trigger on the nonname which hotfi offering it for me for 150$, i hear this, can you post the pics of which part is faulty.

The best IEM I ever heard was 2 dynamic driver + 4 ba's.

It also cost close to $2k and only comes in custom fit.

Trinity master 6?

I wish!
 
It was the Kumitate Labs KL-REF. (Japanese)
 
I want one so bad it makes me consider getting a custom

So far I'd saw was only offer with something like stainless steel shell IEM.
