Not soon enough.. .
Just wanted to relate my experience with the fit kit for my AS2 impressions. Being my first time doing my own impressions, with the support of Project 86 and having had some done professionally by an audiologist, I felt certain I could do it on my own. Well, looking in the mirror and trying to do it myself resulted in my not pushing in the foam plugs far enough so the part of the impression going to the second curve of the ear wasn't long enough for Aurisonics to get a good impression. So I went to my audiologist and she made some for the usual $50. When inspecting my ear she commented on wax buildup, and upon removal of the "wax" found it was left over impression putty! She said even with her experience she wouldn't try to do it herself, as looking in the mirror she said just didn't give the proper viewpoint. Project86 has done it many times, so he finally got it, but for a newbie like me I will take the "RedGreen Show Man's Oath": "I'm a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess!!!" I'm a DIY kind of guy for most things, but for ear impressions, I'll change and spend $50 for impressions by my audiologist, especially when spending $600 for a custom!!!!
lol I did my own impressions the first time. I ordered 4 or 5 kits for like $20.00 and wasted 2 of them to get the hang of it. On the 3 and 4 one I got decent impressions out of them. But in the end the fit was too tight. Way too tight. Great isolation. Probably as good as you'll get from acrylic. This I opted to just spend the extra money and go to an audiologist hoping its a one hit wonder....
What did you do the first time soundbear when you went to have your impressions done for the JH5? Didn't you say the fit was too tight as well? This time I didn't open my mouth wide. Just used my index finger and rested my jaw on it.
Early? Lol, no. I ordered months ago but decided to wait for Aurisonics to change some manufacturing processes before having mine made.
Are you by any chance able/inclined to share what process changes you were waiting on? This whole rapid iteration development model sure can be stressful for some of us "latest & greatest" obsessives.
If you saw the advertisement here on Head-Fi for Aurisonics you'd see the last frame of the gif telling of some of the things we will learn about at NAMM. I think ShotgunShane is to be receiving the new driver made in-house as well as whatever other updates to the line will be.

What Kenman345 said.
Has Aurisonics released the price of the ASG 2 yet? And is it only available in one colour like the ASG 1?
