Hmmm mine came in pretty on time , and well I find the sound pretty much , its one of the best I have heard even

It sits in a drawer.  After waiting ages for it and becoming increasingly frustrated with Unique Melody's many excuses (and lies) as to why I hadn't received it, the CIEM eventually arrived at my address.  It didn't take long to learn that the sound quality was not commensurate with the price; you could match it with a $60 IEM.
 
I've learned that when ordering CIEMs customer service is vital.  I can personally recommend the Custom Art, JH Audio and Clear Tune Monitors (Custom Art is most impressive in this area).  I strongly advise against dealing with Unique Melody.
 
In this case I'm ordering a universal off of Kickstarter, I've never tried this before and it does make me passingly nervous but the technology is interesting and 1964 Ears has an excellent reputation for tuning their CIEMs.

1964ears also has great customer service. They were a pleasure to deal with when I got the V6S demo, so there's that.

What do you mean by you're the only one? There are 145 other backers. Or are you that person who paid $150 when there's still the $100 early bird special?

It's not like im the only one purchsing it but the fact that this thread is solely disussing about the Ciems, well i wish i could be bothering wether the money is well spent on them or not but without the money.... T--T

But we're also trying to decide whether to get the U6 or U8, not just talking about the CIEMs...

Well that is for shure cheaper

i bought the U4 with the expectation they are similar or slightly better than V3. My Shures 535 dont excite me anymore and based on reviews of V3 I couldnt help myself bought the U4, hopefully it was not a bad desicion.

Well in theory, as the U4 has four drivers, it should be similar in sound to the Qi... just in case you needed to feel better about the purchase.
 
In other news, I've decided on the U6 over the U8 due partially to suggestions from sq3rjick (/u/they_have_bagels on Reddit) and the rest of the community. Much excitement!

Like Talai said, the U4 should be the universal version of the Qi, or with a sound signature similar to it.
 
Anyway, the Qi is rather different sounding from the V3. From memory, the V3 has a more balanced sound, with slightly boosted bass and smooth treble. The Qi had a darker tonality with a sizeable mid-bass hump. Between the 2, I actually prefer the V3.
 
Still, the capabilities and sound signatures of the various ADEL IEMs are moot points at this time.

It would be cool to know which iem is how tuned,but that would be not possible ?

lol, dude. they're based off the v6 line. you can view tuning @ 1964adel.com

 

[MrKommander]

Shure but what about those who aren't based on 1964 and producet by the other companie

 

[justrest]

Hi Folks,
 
I think U4 good choise. Is it too dark like UM3X ? And estimated delivery may 2015 is it true?  I think we will wait half year. Woww.

It seems the acceleration on the kick starter page has started to slooooow. Although it has broken through funding and the first stretch goal for the active cable.
I'm not sure if they'll reach the the one for a charcoal shell, it's not all that great a stretch goal, maybe a range of colours would have been better.
I wonder if they'll allow colour customisation of the universals (at a cost) regardless of the stretch goal?

Funding has slowed down probably because there aren't that many add-ons available. IEMs don't really fall into the buy two for more uses category either.

And it's black friday week so people have more choices. Almost half of the funding is from the A10 and A12 and we get nothing from the stretch goals ;(
