I think xiaomi pistons will slaughter them in sound quality, I modded my one with the filter mod and found very think layer of foam in them ,after removal the sound got more airy and tight ...the bass is so textured and mids are transparent and deep with ultra extended trebles :sunglasses:

I bet they do, but my Pistons are tracking to be at my house by Saturday, which will be two weeks since I ordered them. I'm not going to mod or pull filters from any iem that took two weeks to get to me. I'll deal with them as is, and compare them to my other IEMS.

Because of that potential issue, it's out my line of sight. I'm favoring the OMs or the DUNU-1000s, but I heard that the DUNUs have slight recessed miss which I don't think I'd prefer.

I can't wait for my DUNU to show up, to see how their mids stack up to the very strong mids of the OM. If the DN-1000 indeed has recessed mids, then the OM Audio will be the only hybrid out of the 5 I've listened to (which will include the DN-1000 ultimately) with balanced mids to the highs and lows.

Can't wait for your comparison between the two.

  i just read the ads on taobao about the astrotec ax30/35 and i just realized they're a presale and they're shipping in march. kind of late. might just go for the fostex next month or the aurisonics rockets.

still a great price

the rockets, which was put up as a kickstarter, and I'm not sure how I even feel about that, is a $250.00 microdriver. Seeing as I didn't even come close to paying that much for my MMDT, which are wide band microdrivers, and the EPH-100 is another mighty fine microdriver that comes in at $100.00 less than these, aurisonics can stick it. I'm waiting anxiously for the Fostex TE05.

they're $150 on the kickstarter. plus they're a 5.1mm microdriver and someone who heard them said they sounded better than a bunch of high-end $400+ iem's and customs.

I guess I'll wait for the hype train to come in before I decide to jump on a single dynamic for that much. Who knows though? I might end up with them at some point anyways. After all...we are head-fi'ers...and that's what we do.
