I'm pretty sure they will. It's a matter of when if you ask me.

Hopefully, popular demand will bring them back soon.

I'd buy them again without the sound cutting in and out issue.

So, want to necromance this thread and see if anyone has a pair they are willing to sell.

Does anyone know if anything similar or better than the rockets has ever been released? Tiny IEMs with a great cable like this or detachable cables

Fender make the Puresonic Wireless which is based on the Rockets design, but as a budget bluetooth neckphone. No idea how they sound.

Jays q-Jays, cable is detachable but using an almost impossible to find type of threaded MMCX. Also, rather different signature (if Rockets are "warm neutral"ish, q-Jays would be "neutral-bright"ish and for me are sibilant without foam tips).

Problem with detachable cables is that the connectors alone are often nearly the size of Rockets

Other than q-Jays and Rockets, I haven't owned anything else that's quite as small and also of similar value, overall material quality and recommendably balanced sound (basically IMO good all-rounders- a lot of IEMs I like but find much harder to recommend) - larger ones I hold in similar regard are Etymotics, size of ~2 Rockets, and Sony N3, ~3.5 Rockets). If small size is priority over sound & build there are some decent budget options around.

Haven't tried these but some more recent smallish detachables I can think of- Final Audio E4000 & E5000, Rose Mini2, maybe the Yamaha EPH200 (refresh of EPH100 w/ detachable cable).

I recently re-bought the rockets and fell in love all over again, they are endgame iems. As well as the asg1plus which I had.

You can also consider the Flares Pro, same form factor

Fender has a model called PureSonic Wireless Earbuds that look just like the Rockets except in a bluetooth design.

Also it's not titanium

Don't even try. I tried the better model and the connection was too bad to justify the SQ. Certain the electronics are the same and the SQ is lower so don't bother. Plus over ear is fine but the Rockets design with two pods bobbing around isn't smart. Plenty of noise with collars and moving around and all that. I escaped because I found a pair for $50 and sold them on to get most of my money back. That is the only way I would buy them is if you got a similar deal.

Bump. Does anyone want a new set of these? Still have a sealed box.

 

[mochill]

How much and which color? :-O , already have one but another one won't hurt :-D

I paid $150 for them at the time so somewhere around that? Send me a PM and we can see what works. As for color, I have the titanium ones with white cables.
