Rhapsodio RDB MK 8 Zombie In-Ear Monitor
Foreword The TOTL man himself, Flinkenick, has graciously arranged for a Zombie demo to be sent to me for review purposes. This unit will be sent to other reviewers thereafter. This unit has been burned in for 120 hours with white noise prior to a full critical analysis. Measurements performed on an IEC60318-4-compliant rig.

Unfortunately, transients are a tad too slow for proper realism and is not controlled... -
NocturnaL Atlantis

Your own experience may vary but Jomo has assured that this design was intentional and should be comfortable for most other ears. The demo unit I received Bass The... -
AAW W900 Custom In-Ear Monitor
My personal measurements vs advertised MEASUREMENT DATABASE HERE BASS Neutral yet powerful, placed equidistant with mids and treble. Rounded and 3-dimensional hits that decays naturally, lingering slightly past than the rest of the frequencies for a broad sense of space. Highly articulate notes that carry a sense of authority that cannot be reproduced with balanced armature woofers. MIDS Leans ever-so-slightly toward the warm side of tonality. Extremely smooth and pleasant overall with a slight sharpness to vocals and instruments... -
