I happen to have strange tastes in iems.  But I also have the fiio x5.  Do you just so happen to have sony xba 40 or jh16's to compare with?

Sorry - haven't heard either.  A full list of the IEMs I've owned can be found in my profile.

Excellent Review Good Sir!
Congrats on the Feature!

Thanks TD.  I'm pleased for RockJaw that they might get some exposure with the Alfa Genus.  It really is a wonderful little IEM.

One quick question, in regards to the genre specific notes.  Am I right to assume when you were talking about the bass with the Rap/EDM/Pop section you were using the silver filter?  With the first two genres you specificed the filter used, but stopped after that.  Other than that, it was quite a well written review.

Hi Saoshyant - no, the comments on genre were all with the ebony filter fitted. I've changed the review to make it clearer - thanks for pointing it out

Hmm, This might be the type of versatility I've been looking for in an IEM then.  I'll have to consider looking into getting one.  It reminds me of...  I think the company is called Torque Audio.  Not as many variations available, but the two options here might actually cover the range quite well.
