Just received the OPUS1.  Very neutral sounding indeed and unlike anything I've heard before from a single ba iem.  They are not very powerful or forward-sounding and sibilance is almost absent, thereby minimising ear fatigue and making the iem comfortable for long duration listening.  Soundstage is wide and spacious with a sense of surroundness most probably due to the slight echo effect that can be heard.  Bass is lean and somewhat detailed but fans of the FAD BAM effect (comparison to single ba) will likely be turned off by the OPUS1 less
impactful bass.  


One point to note is that the
 unique wavy shape might create a fit issue for some people affecting the bass and noise isolation.  Foam tip (non stock) solved this issue (semi-full fit) for me but due to the thinner then usual nozzle, you will have to force the tip further up the sub-housing to secure it in place.


Personally, I found the OPUS1 to be a little tad boring which is expected of a flatly tuned iem but this would be my choice of iem to bring onboard a plane and fall asleep with.  At around US$217, I would say there are better value for money iem out there but if you are a sound purist collector in search for the perfect single driver iem, this very unique OPUS1 is definitely a keeper.    
woah.... 90hz roll-off is pretty high. Well above what I consider sub-bass.

I'm really looking forward to comparison between the Delta's and the Flare's , I regret not jumping on both of these and is still considering to try to get at least one of them. Iirc I read somewhere that the Trinity should be on pair with Titans, which honestly wouldn't be enough for me to get them......

 
I have been rocking the schiit out of the Flares and they are definitely way above the KS Price point. With Flare R2A, Titan 1 and Havi you have a stable that will cover your bases for a LONG time. I will see how the Duke compares to it when its released, so you can save yourself a purchase if the dukes are better :p
 
But seriously, The R2A kicks some MAJOR ass. Beats the pants off my sony xba z5 and is better than the Titan 1 in most ways. Best soundstage in an iem by far, sounds more open and has a bigger soundstage than my UE6000 lol. On par with the EX1000 if not better in some aspects as well. One downside is that complys are necessary to get the open soundstage and best sound as it was designed that way. But the comply doesn't to muddle up the sound for some reason fwiw.
 
I would love to see it compared to the likes of E80 and A73 at some point.

Just got these GranVela URBANFUN yesterday:
 

 
Driver: 8mm Dynamic & Balanced Armature Drivers 
Frequency Range: 5-40,000 Hz.
Impedance: 20ohm.
Sensitivity:110dB.
Distortion:<1% .
Cable:1.3 m.
 
It's like the Sidy DGS100 with less midbass, clearer mids/treble and more sub bass slam. I can't believe I paid 45 bucks for these... very impressive.

I wasnt a fan of the dgs100, i felt it was over hyped. too muddy for my liking, less midbass would be nice
 
Too many options. KZ ED10, E80... and whats this Flare Audio R2A... when did this happen?
 
O man, ive really tried to keep away from threads like this, and have for some time. My A73 should arrive soon, hopefully it will rid me of some iem's collecting dust.

I'm sure the A73 will be excellent- it's still on my radar but I keep getting distracted by these bargain purchases, lol.
