They better have a really good secret sauce in there. That amount of money could be used to get my grandma a hip replacement from her last act..

I've seen measurements for 3 oBravos and heard 1 (erib-5a?). The FR curves are terrifying and the IEM I heard was complete garbage. Could've made the argument for soundstage but at that level of isolation, a simple earbud or an iSine would've pushed the same stage anyways.

I haven't heard the others but I'm not expecting a lot at this point.

Haven't heard the Erib models, but I will say I have never had an iem that was more affected by the ear tips selected than the EAMT-1c model. They simply are not an iem that you are likely to put in your ears the first time and go "wow". I think that is one reason they give "meh" impressions when people audition them at shows, along with auditioning them in noisy environments. Yeah, they are definitely an niche iem, and I'm very interested in comparing them to the equally expensive 64audio offerings in the next few months.

Warbler Prelude ONE ba driver, it that good to be top 5?

One BA for the Sub Bass nothing else.

One BA for the Sub Bass nothing else.

Yes, but is it that good to be in the top 5?

 

[dongster]

considering its ranked according to average score of all the criteria, it could potentially excel at everything but bass and still add up to high score

 

[noplsestar]

Yes, but is it that good to be in the top 5?

No. Probably @flinkenick didn't even listen to the warbler. He got paid 1 million Dollars for positioning them in the top 5. Probably he doesn't listen to any IEM in his shootout. It's all just a joke. Any other question?

 

[dongster]

would be game changing tho, if the Chinese UM one comes on top

Let's be honest...who could have resisted that offer?

To be fair, UM have been one of the most popular IEM brands in Singapore for a while, even getting featured on Tyll's Innerfidelity TOTL CIEM shootout a few years ago. And, don't forget, HIFIMAN's based out of China too
