My V3s have arrived!!

The total time from "impressions received" to "shipped" was two weeks, which is pretty good. The overall look and finish is excellent. These are in wine red and purple translucent colors. Probably few of the last ones in multi-colors before 1964 moves to black and transparent only shells.

For the first timer with CIEMs, I am pretty happy with the sound significant upgrade versus my prior daily wearers (RHA MA 750 and V moda XS). I am no audiophile to describe in poetic terms :rolleyes: But the sound is well balanced with a decent low end punch and a good sound stage. The comfort over a couple of hours of listening period is very good.

My only question is on the level of sealing. It is pretty good overall, but with two caveats. One is I get a break in seal if I make a big grinny face. It does not break during talking or eating (e.g chewing gum). I guess if you keep stretching you face, at some stage the seal will break. Am I correct or I should expect better seal? I feel the overall seal is very good from audio quality POV, as when I move the 'phones and press further, the sound gets worse and not better. So the neutral position is the best position from SQ POV.

Secondly, sometimes, I start getting a bit of squishy feeling. E.g. earlier this week, I spent a day in train, walking and then coming back, while wearing the 'phones. In the afternoon, I started getting the quishiness inside the ears when I am moving the head around. I am guessing the over the day, the sweat and wax cumulates to create this. Again, what is the experience of other users?

AS a first time CIEM owner and owner of a set of A12's I can say that when running up the stairs I get the squishy feeling too.  It's your skin/muscle/fat bouncing up and down on the bones. Completely normal.  Also the impression cannot be fit to both smiling and not smiling, you would need two impressions for that .  Enjoy, everything is working as it should.

I agree its a normal sensation.  When you seal up the ear cavity your going to pick up some internal sensations.  In my case I can hear some things rattling around in my brain.

Sometime its just the friction of the cord on objects.

Probably a screw loose from overlistening to good music. Nothing harmful.

is it true that 1964 has discontinued the service for personalizing cases?

I just got one, last week. It is still there on their accessories page - https://www.1964ears.com/product/Personalized-Case

I put an order in last month and it was an option.

They are supposed to roll out a new type of case probably in a month or two, once they roll out the new Adel upgrades to their lineup. I would assume that one will still be able to customize their name on those cases.

Great pictures! I was actually really disappointed at the switch to two shell options. I had my heart set on a smokey translucent shell when I was shopping around (I think it might've been the platinum option from 1964). But by the time I'd finally decided to go for it I had to pick between black and clear.... Boring! But oh well, it just goes into your ear I guess. I wouldn't be surprised though if this loss of customisability affects some people's decision making into the future.

Anyway, had a lovely surprise this morning. My order is finally stepping meekly out of the starting gates, just testing the water - after about 10 days it's at impressions trimmed.

I just overnighted my impressions. I'm looking forward to my V8's. I upgraded from the Qi's after the sale.

Do a review when you've got them! Theyre one of the top IEMs about but no one's reviewed them other than Ivabign

 

[koolranch]

In not sure I'm qualified. Lol I'll try.

 

[mathi8vadhanan]

These were posted on their facebook page, last two days. Looks like ADEL launch just around the corner.

As a paying customer whose unit is still in the workings. I feel slightly betrayed. Still I believe I will be enjoying my V6s when it does arrive
