See Audio Impressions Thread
Now that See Audio has launched in the international markets, I think it’s time to start a dedicated thread for the models currently available. So far, it appears that there are 3 models, the Yume/Anou, the Neo, and the Kaguya. Reviews: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/see-audio-yume-anou.24866/- IEMusic

All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)
This is a thread to discuss, showcase, and compare the many all-BA IEMs out there, including budget and TOTL. This has not been my main area of interest, so I’m eager to learn about what’s out there, and the relative strengths and weakness of the IEMs with this technology.- IEMusic

...and most durable), flush mounted outlets, and outlets that stick out (but are not meant to be covered by a sleeve, such as qdc or NX7 outlets). **Note: most 2 pin connections are 0.78mm, however, there are also 0.75mm connections.

Dynamic Driver Materials
I wanted to start a thread to discuss the various materials used in current IEMs that contain a DD. It seems some of the popular materials include pure beryllium (very expensive), beryllium coated, carbon nanotube, graphene, etc. I don’t know much about a lot of the different technologies, so...- IEMusic

Listening to IEMs balanced?
I have not jumped on the balanced train. I listen mostly to IEMs, and thus power requirements are typically low, with few exceptions. It has been my understanding (perhaps incorrectly or too simplistically) that using the balanced output of a DAP or portable amp simply increases the power...- IEMusic

Single & Multi Dynamic Driver Only IEM Discussion Thread
Here is a thread to discuss all things related to IEMs with just a single dynamic driver. There has really been a surge of amazing single DD IEMs lately. With the development and release of new multi-DD IEMs, I think it makes sense to include them in this thread, IEMs like the KZ DQ6, UM 3DT...- IEMusic

What’s your favorite 2ch speaker pair currently?
I’ve personally been a big fan of Sonus Faber and Dynaudio for a long time, and I really would like a pair of high-end active speakers someday. At this stage in my life, it‘s mostly personal audio though. I’m grateful for the development of such amazing personal audio equipment, but I...- IEMusic

The least offensive sounding IEMs.
I just took my Etymotic ER3XRs out of their case after several months in the drawer. Upon listening to them for bit I’ve come to realize that these are probably the least offensive sounding IEMs that I own. No pressurizing bass, just enough kick in the mid bass, smooth mids, no sharp peaks, no...- IEMusic

Do we need to trust our own ears more?
This has been a problem for me for some time, and only after listening to several “phones” (headphones, IEMs, earbuds) am I starting to gain more confidence and understanding in what I’m hearing.

Etymotic Ear Tip Options
I’m a fan of Etymotic IEMs, and actually like the deep insertion and great isolation for certain occasions, but the deep insertion is by far the biggest issue most people have with them.
