Pledged for Friend Hyperion. Any comparison to Havi B3, Tenore or IM50 would be great though. :rolleyes:

Could one of you three gentlemen with a caliper at hand tell us what diameter the Delta's bore has please? Wondering if they are Spinfit compliant. About to pm Dopaminer for some. :D

These tips fit nozzles with bore of 4.5mm - 6.5mm and can be used on IEMs with smaller nozzles (Shure, Westone, etc) by applying tape, heat-shrink or Comply foam cores to the nozzles to expand their diameter. Almost all IEMs can use these tips.

Btw, is the Delta larger than the Hyperion?

Hyperion vs Havi B3 Pro1
 
Havi is thinner in the mid-range, lower mids and bass - more of a neutral sound.  Hyperion is a lot fuller, richer, and V shaped.  Hyperion is more intimate.  Havi is more spacious and distant. Hyperion is more involving. Personally I find the Hyperion easier to fit, but both pretty comfortable.  Ergonomically Hyperion can be worn up cable up or down, Havi is up only. Hyperion doesn't need additional amping and can be played fine out of a weaker source.  Havi needs either a stronger source, or an amp. Cable is better (more flexible, better ergonomics and quality than Havi's).  I like Havi's right angled plug better though. Hyperion seems to isolate a little better - but only marginally.
 
Both very good value - but if you were judging purely on value, I'd take the Hyperion easily.  SQ will depend on your individual preference.
 

 
(BTW pic above shows original prototype Hyperion - it now has the much higher quality cable)
 

 
Personally I'd take the Havi for Classical, and if I wanted something for purely background (while I was involved/concentrating on something else).  For jamming out, I'd take the Hyperion.  YMMV.

Wow, those pics really show how small those Hyperions are compared to the Havi (which is what I've got on me right now as a size reference). The tip's larger than the housing! They look like they'd just disappear in one's ear.

First i pledged for the EARLY BIRD + FRIEND Hyperion.
Then i changed for Double DELTA early bird special.
Now i am getting the “A beautiful Trinity of all 3 models”, just because i am really interested in the design of the Techne.
Even the “DESIGN YOUR OWN IN-EAR MONITOR!* is tempting for the “Delta in the Techne body” idea.

Thank you very much for the comparison Brooko.
 
I personally don't like IEMs with too much V shape sound and lesser mids than Havi B3 would be a deal breaker for me as I like my vocals and mids more upfront like on IM50s which has very addicting vocals. Is the diffence in the midrange so big? Which Trinity model do you think has the best midrange presentation?

Hmm it's interesting that Bob says that the Hyperion is mid centric - how does that square with reviews describing it as a v shaped signature?

 

Thanks for the question.

For my tastes the little Hyperion is quite mid centric, but with plenty of low end and high end.

If you have not seen them, please read these independent reviews with some excellent detail on the sound http://www.head-fi.org/products/trinity-hyperion-dynamic-iem

If you want to know anything else, please ask.

Regards 
Bob
