Joe, great review as always! Looking forward to more reviews and newer gear!

Actually I had the 5x before I upgraded to the 8x, so I'm pretty sure that Mitch will be able to help! :) Excited that many others are getting the 8x as well! Will get mine back from reshelling soon!

@redaxis I think the mids are just nice the way they are. I would say they are slightly forward, but it's not so forward til it sticks out among the other frequencies. For warmth and thickness, I think it varies and is dependent on the track. I heard some vocal tracks with them and the voices...

I'm comparing it to the TF10x4, Westone UM3 and also the SE535

My configuration is 2 dual lows, 1 dual mids, 1 high and 1 super high, the high and super high is being channeled into the TWFK. And I asked Mitch to actually custom tune mine to a specific Frequency response, which is supposed to be the flattest possible for IEMs and also to prevent phasing out...

After abt 1 mth plus with my 8x, I'm really starting to like the sound of the 8x! Though I mentioned that it was previously bass light, now the bass has opened up abit and it's just nice. It really is a neutral IEM. And the 8x is very good with EQ, added a little more bass on my E17 and the...

Update on the 8x, the bass has opened up as they are very proficient and true to the track based on my ears But I think I might have a fit issue, cause my ears hurt after wearing them for too long... So I will need a re-fit.., :(

I thought you could hear better details and more accuracy, as for the size of the sound stage, I can't say so as of yet, cause I'm still getting used to the sound

Oops, clarity I mean

I got my 8x and heard it for a few hours, they are definitely neutral, or some would say bass-light, but I really am liking the details I am hearing, the four sound bores really allows all the sound to come together nicely. I'm getting a lot of clarify that I didn't hear in the 5x. Just needing...

Hahhs, I'll post an update when I get the 8x, just having some customs issues in SG, should get it by the weekend. Will post my impressions in this thread!

the DX100, hahhs.. it looks like the next DAP to have.. 

Hmmm, for bass quantity.... I think the 5x gives you a lot better bass quantity with it's 3 low drivers, it really give you a lot of bass, but yet it sounds tight and not muddy.   One additional factor is also that it's a custom, which also means that bass response is further better than...

Hahhs, I would say that the 5x is a very very good buy. Comfort wise, I'd have to say that your impressions are very very important. I managed to get a very good audiologist over here is Singapore so the fit of the 5x is sweet.   Also, the 5x is pretty easy to drive, am usually playing it...

Hahhs, actually the 5x is the first CIEM that I own. I have a Klipsch Custom 3 and a TF10 as well. And honestly, the 5x is really the best sounding among what I have at the moment. Might get other CIEMs in the future, but not anytime soon, haha.   For pics... I got them in clear and clear...

Loving my 5x, heard the JH16 prior to buying them as I read from Joe's review that they sounded a little bit like the JH16s and I must say... they do! Just waiting for them to burn in even more!
