LOL yes, it was really tough, and I found some deals... And anyway I personally prefer shootouts to regular reviews.

One expensive shootout i was just looking at the Legend today.

And I've got CA H8P demo this week.

Use them with the foamies if you can... Apparently it better mimics the sonic qualities of Silicon.
 
Hopefully I'll find out soon My impressions reached Piotr about 2 weeks ago now..

Yup. Piotr included some handmade extra-long orange foamies

EDIT: Oops, forgot the Orange foamies are for M1, M2,and 330P. Comply TS400 for H8P.

Yup, I listened with the Comply. I wish every CIEM came in Silicon form! But I guess the driver-race makes that next to impossible....

A10 and A12 specs look pretty awesome.
And the new real loud technologie is pretty cool.
 
Still gonna stick with 1964ears V3 in my opinion best value money can buy  CIEM wise.

Good for you man. I most of all hope for you that the fit is perfect the first time around. It really really sucks to have to send back your new CIEMs for a refit, mostly because it just takes longer before you can really enjoy them. I had to get 2 refits on my JH13 before they were finally good and now I'm loving the hell out of them.

I am having way too much anxiety over the possibility of a refit! These are also my first CIEM's so I am worried about knowing the difference of just adjusting to them and needing a refit.

They fit well the first time. I ran into a couple problems though so I sent them back a week and a half ago. I don't know the status and I don't know when they'll ship back. Its better that they take more time, then rushing ^^. After i heard my v6s I am having a hard time coping with my 650s while they are away.

If it just feels a bit weird in your ears initially (which it probably will), then I'd just tough it out for a week or two to see if your ears get used to it. If you get severe pain or parts of your ears feel really sore, anywhere, after 1-2 hours of listening, you need a refit. And also make sure you get a good seal, or otherwise the bass will sound anemic. You will then also need a refit.
 
For me personally I was getting severe pain on a very specific part of my ear. My ear would just really hurt after about an hour and feel sore for hours after on that particular spot. That was definitely not a good fit. But now it fits fine. When I just got them back after the second refit I was finally able to start listening for hours without any issues. My ears did have to get used to them though, as initially it felt weird, like I'm really putting something thick in my ears (which I was of course). But they are slowly getting more and more comfortable by the day, so my ears are being broken in by the CIEM (that almost sounds sexual). 
 
Either way, if you got an open mouth impression like I did, your ears will probably need to get used to them. The ear-canal part of the CIEM will then be slightly bigger than your ear canal when your jaw is in a relaxed position. The most comfortable position will be with your mouth wide open, but your ears should get used to them with your mouth closed eventually. Just like when you use foam tips for the first time on universal IEMs, it feels weird for the first couple weeks, but then your ears get used to them and you don't really feel them anymore.

Well put, Starfly!

You've got me rethinking my aversion to getting a custom fit.

I just got a notification from fedex that a shipment label has been created!!!!!! Hopefully I will get my V6s tomorrow and I can enjoy them during the blizzard! I am in NYC haha

So that is just over a month from them receiving your impressions to shipment? That doesn't seem too bad.
