Has anyone tried one of the siren series with the x5? Angie in particular?

I'm in the market for some IEMs and will demo the Angie, as well as the Shure 846, and Noble 6, and Westone w60 with my X5 next week when Headphone Bar gets the next shipment of Angie's (they sold the demo!). I may hate all of them for comfort given I have very small ear canals but I have to try them regardless or I'll go nuts wondering what I'm missing. I've tried the 846 and they didn't fit so well but I only tried one pair of tips so there's hope.
I'll report here and the respective threads my impressions, though brief as they may be.

I really enjoy the SE846 + X5 combo! Really clear sound, well separated instruments.
I also have an RWAK100 II and still prefer to pair the SE846 with X5.
you should consider ie800. they are extremely small, and can fit any ear canals. they sound amazing straight out of x5, this is one of the ways i tested them, and i was very pleased.

Looking forward to hearing your impressions. Headphone bar is pretty good to buy from out of province. Never been to their store, but ordered from them a few times. This last time I got a bus re400, which they refunded for me so I could get my westone w40s. Interested in the Roxanne and Angie with the x5,as I am a long time headphone guy that has absolutely fallen in love with my w40s and iems in general.

We have to wait for the X5III haven't found a way to so far. I still find the way of making playlists on the X5 quite cumbersome - and usually just make them externally now, and then use folder view to activate them.
Feature Request: What would be nice is if we could have more custom EQ setting like one for a speaker system and another for headphones and have the ability to rename them

The result, in short: The SE846 sounds far better when plugged in the X5. That's a surprise to me. My interest was peeked, so I made the same comparison with the HD 800. I expected the result to be closer, probably in favor of the Symphony. But again the HD 800 sounded far better directly from the X5 to me: better imaging, more air, even better bass control. And astonishingly both line out and headphone out sounded the same through the Symphony – the X5's volume set to 120 at low gain.
