Hi guys.I've been asked to help organise a UK review tour for the Obravo ERIB-2a and would like to reach out to see if anybody would be interested to join in. Here are some information regarding the earphones:
 
 

 
 
Overview:
With the erib-2a, oBravo have combined one of the most advanced headphone driver technologies, called Planar Magnetics Driver (PMD) with Neodymium Dynamic Drivers (NDD) to deliver excellent bass performance of many IEMs in its class. Enhanced by its coaxial structure design, the in-the-ear earphones enable a brand new listening experience that even most of the Over-The-Ear headphone can’t do at its price range.
From studio recordings to live performances, the PMD and the NDD stage a full spectrum of audio. Every nuance is captured and heard. Every note is felt.
The aluminium design of the erib-2a not only looks elegant, but using Comply ear tips make wearing them feel comfortable in your ears.
Features:
  • The world first Coaxial two-way IEM design by an implementation of Planar tweeter and NDD to deliver a rich sound stage listening experience.
  • World class Comply ear tips implementation for balanced sound stage.
  • A Wooden ear cup designed model - (erib-2w), and a Precision Ceramic ear cup designed model - (erib-2c) to provide a choice for different sound styles.
  • Easy way to enjoy a ultimate sound from a balanced output by an optional 2.5mm Balanced cable.
Specification:
  1. Frequency Response: 20Hz~35KHz
  2. Tweeter: 8mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter
  3. Dynamic Driver: 10mm Neodymium Driver
  4. Impedance: 16 ohm
  5. Sensibility in dB: 102dB
  6. Weight: 35 g

Here is a shortlist of the reviews that has been posted for the ease of navigation. Although @Duncan has not published a full on review, he has agreed and will be more than willing to share his opinion about the ERIB-2a if you have any questions for him, and so with the others ( I think).

Not throwing my hat in but did have a chance for a brief listen to the range stocked by custom cable. Definitely an interesting brand. Need a bit more oomph to drive than is typical for earphones. My demo impressions are

(spoilered for reviewers who want to go in unbiased)
Good tonality, texture and reasonably wide soundstage (for an iem, better than my se846). I really really like the cable. Does not seem to tangle and no micro phonics when rubbing the cable material between fingers

  If you need any more willing participants I am interested in listening to a pair of iem's that are different to the normal approach.
