I had the Rockets on loan, but that was quite some time ago and I don't feel confident comparing them, save for saying the NS-U1's sound signature reminds me somewhat of the former's. I own the FA VII, which are tuned more neutral than the VIII. Never heard the VIII myself I'm afraid.
Sorry for the typo, VII is what I meant to say. I had both VII and VIII for a while, returned both because their soundstage to me wasn't as wide as that of the Dita The Answer NT.
VIII is a much thicker sounding IEM than VII and R2Pro and definitely not neutral. As I recall VII doesn't have any of the forward presentation of the R2, so the NS-U1 will do the best job regarding forward presentation.
