I think of American muscle cars of the 60's and 70's with Aurisonic aesthetics.
I think Heir is the company to associate with jewelry .
Why can't there be room for more than just one? Different kinds of jewelry. Okay, Heir has that "wood thing" going!
They do a whole lot more than just wood my friend . I guess IMO I'd equate Heir more so with jewelry lol. Just how beautiful their artwork is. I don't think I've seen another IEM company outclass them in that aspect. When I look at ASG it looks more rugged/durable like it could take a beating...
OK, not just wood, but I don't really see jewelry, I see art in front of me. Skill of a very special hand at work.
Is Heir just as durable as Aurisonics? They both look rugged but I dont be throwing a Heir earphone around like I could with an ASG.

Heir ----> jewelry
*waits for Heir to be able to do diamond faceplates
*request the shells to be made of solid gold
Make a matching his/her pair of CIEMs=best wedding present ever .

Outside the flush cable connections, I definitely would say yes.

I think that's questionable. Heir Audio products are audiophile products. Aurisonics makes products meant for working musicians. They use different materials for the shells, their is no way they the same durability.
I'm not really sure. The comments were more so based on looks as I really don't know if the ASGs are as durable as they look lol or if the Heirs are as fragile as they look . I'm pretty sure both are durable enough within reason (I wouldn't run it over with car to test it out though lol).
I know the material used for the housings of the ASG-1. I am not allowed to disclose it though. Heir Audio uses acrylic. Acrylic is used by Westone and (if I'm not mistaken) UE, Frogbeats, etc. Westone and UE are made for musicians. Audiophiles still need durable material, as do musicians. Musicians can also use Heir Audio too.
Not really entirely based on look. Also feel, heft, and any problems I ran into.

I thought it was common knowledge that it's some sort of high-end material for a 3D Printer that is safe for extended contact with human skin. It was mentioned when Aurisonics responded on here about the tools they use to manufacture the CIEM's and IEM's. Not really sure what musicians actually use Heir Audio products, but I am gonna make a quick assumption it's fewer than the amount that use Aurisonics, which I believe is still a small number (but growing)

Actually from what I've heard, there are also Musicians that do indeed use Heir Audio IEMs. So that is nothing new. I don't now how durable the Heirs are as I'm still waiting on my own personal pair. I should know by early next week hopefully. They use [size=12pt]Hypoallergenic , Hard Acrylic shells.[/size]
