Wow. I have been out of the Head-Fi loop for a while, so these PFE232s are news to me.
Both my PFE112s and TF10s have been doing me well for over a year; I believe this speaks wonders for their respective build quality.
The PFEs continue to be the most comfortable IEMs I've ever worn, but they are not quite perfect in the sound department; the TF10s definitely trump them in this respect. Conversely, the TF10s are the most UNcomfortable IEMs I've ever worn. So, now that I learn that Phonak have come out with a high-end model, I am very interested.
That said, the 399 GBP price tag (about $650.00) is insane for a brand that really has not established itself, especially in North America. They simply don't have the same mindshare as say Shure, Beats, etc. Also, given that their other model retails for only $150, they have a massive $500 gap in their lineup.
The reviews will have to be unequivocally and unanimously impressive for me to even consider an IEM costing over $500!
