On V6S Bass: I find it's substantial and extends way down - Detectable to around 15Hz with those sine wave tracks, if those are anywhere near accurate (by the sound they seem reasonably so). Hevy bass track hit HARD.

On treble: Crisp, clear and bright throughout never sounding tinny. My reference for this statement is only based on hearing very fine/discrete high KHz bells, cymbals and other such instruments that are not typically as noticeable and defined (in my limited experience). I recall the treble was nicely present somewhere around 17kHz on various sine wave tracks. Again, who knows how precise of a measurement those are and then there's the differences in people's hearing acuity.

On 3-D printing: Though it may be extremely accurate and precise, I don't fully buy into it for creating the best final outcome. I would prefer to have a homogenous formation rather than a thousands of individually 'set' layer barriers. I am not however an expert in the process.

As far as SQ upgrade, the V6S slaughters my quite decent Super-Fi5 (and for what its worth, Parrot ZIK BT headphones). Very much worth the price is the V6S.

This was exactly my impression regarding the demo universal, and exactly how I hear my V6 Stage custom with the X5 EQ maxxed out for 8Khz and 16 Khz. I am just completely bummed out about why is it like this. 1964 have not yet replied my email but I am convinced something is wrong

I also have a V6S (uf though) and recognize/share Mr-Mike's sound description.
 
Maybe they've accidentaly implemented 2 ''mid'' or ''low'' drivers where the 2 ''high'' drivers should have been? Or the ''high'' ones are just not good / defective. Is there any noticable difference between your L & R side? And maybe something's wrong with your cable, did you try your V6S with another one?
 
Anyway, I thought they checked them all before shipping, so it would be very strange if this would be the case. Hopefully they'll help you out soon with this issue, so you also can start enjoying them...

Could it be that one of the sound tubes is clogged up? I believe each set of dual-drivers has their own soundtube, one for bass/mids/highs.
 
Try using the included cleaning tool to clean them out (with the tubes facing down so gravity helps you to get any stuff stuck in there fall out).
 
Otherwise maybe the way the fit is working with your ears, the treble soundtubes are somehow not firing directly into your ear canal, but more to the side or something? Just speculating here.

Finally got them! V6S! I will post more later. This is my first pair of CIEMs. I am at work so only have been able to put them in for a moment but they seemed to fit great and u am amazed at how much noise they cancel.

I'm happy for you dude! Hopefully mine aren't too far off.
 
BTW if you're concerned about revealing your surname, you might want to edit your previous posts where you posted pics of the order status.

I can see the dual high drivers so it cannot be a mix up of drivers and I am more than sure a mistake like this would not get past 1964 QC. There are no differences between the L and R. I have tried other cables and they did not make much difference. The general recession in the treble just remain no matter what. I did notice that the high drivers are like wayyyyy back in the shell, and the sound tube is really long and bent before connecting to the bore.I don't know if this could be related.

Clogged up sound tubes was my first suspicion and I have tried cleaning them several times. There is nothing inside. The fit could be an issue though. I have a very snug and somewhat tight fit, but I am not sure if somehow the high frequency bores are getting blocked. I will look into it.
 
Thanks for the inputs guys! I just hope 1964 Ears finds the time to give me a response soon enough.

@cyclingmedic Wow. great pic of the custom's fit. Looks superb!

 

[cyclingmedic]

Quick question about assessing fit. This is my first pair so not sure exactly what to look for. I know soreness but anything else?

Shouldn't break seal too easily, meaning as you move around normally they should still maintain the seal.

It also shouldn't sound muffled, which could mean that either one of the drivers is defective, soundtubes are clogged, or they aren't aimed straight into your ear canal, but more to like your ear canal walls.

I had the chance to do a short comparison between the universal V6S and my custom pair. My suspicion is confirmed -  the demo pair had noticeably more energy at the top. However, the interesting thing is despite the darker and warmer sound, my custom pair sounded better than the universal. Specially the sound stage and the depth of presentation was quite a bit better along with a more robust bass response.

Better seal with the customs probably helped with the bass.

Agreed. Speaking of bass, V6 stage has made me realize how much bass information is missing from my other iems. Bass guitars are full of texture and even the very low rumbling notes are well articulated and impeccably detailed. The Dunu DN1000, for example, has a lot of bass but comes across as one dimensional and seems to be doing just a lot of "air movement" compared to the life-like detailing of the V6 stage. I am loving it!
