Oh thats very sad to hear.

Wont buy those either than, wanted to have the Triple with a more accurate bass and soundstage, but not flatter..
 
Will get the iBasso IT03 or the Oriveti new Primacy instead (even though its another price jump in comparison with the Quads)

Would anybody happen to have a rough comparison between these and the ibasso it03's?

Nope, Triples and Quads are all I own (in noteworthy IEMs)
I've heard a few more things but not enough to do a real comparison.

I have to agree. The more I listen to these, the more disappointed I get. I was honestly expecting a more refined sound of the fun, bassy signature the triples had. I have reference headphones for analytical listening at home. I might just sell mine...

Yes, I see more and more people say these are total crap. I will help you take them off your hands for $100.

Too early to know how the masses feel. I liked them! The improved build quality, ergonomics, and slightly more balanced (but better sub extension) make them a solid set.

oh I only mean that only a few people here didn't like them -- which is fine lol But we can't say things like "everyone here" Most people haven't received them yet, and a few people had positive things to say.

Its true, either way I am happy with this reference sound even if its disappointing compared to what I was hoping for.
May end up selling my triples now.... have to really decide. Maybe ill keep both haha

Neural IEMS are rubbish for portable audio though, which is how I do the vast bulk of my listening.  When out and about, elevated bass and more colour really help against the noise of today's world.

I've never heard the triples so i can't compare these two in bass quantity but i'm pretty certain the bass has more quality, if not a lot more quality to it since these use diamond-like-carbon drivers resulting in the fastest and tightest bass i've ever heard in any IEM so far period. Also, i wouldn't say these are bass boosted, but they are certainly not lacking in enough bass to make the music sound full. I think there is also a bit of a trade of, either you get tight and fast bass or you get fuller more up in your face bass but loose on definition, neutrality and overall sense of space IMO.

I don't wish to mislead everyone. They are good IEMs, just a different signature than what I expecting. I typically use IEMs only for on-the-go and bass-centric music, since earbuds can't give that impact and extension without sacrificing the other frequencies. Now I'm in talks with another head-fier to buy their Noble Dulce's (at a great price), and hoping this will give what I was expecting from the Quads. Full quality bass without sacrificing quantity and impact. An upgrade to the triples sound signature, assuming its similar.

I've been listening a lot to my audio technica at e40's and I have to admit that I can not really listen to the triples anymore. The bass just seems bloated to me. So I'm thinking these might have the right sound signature for me.

They are very flat!

It's pretty well come down to these or the ibasso it03. I just wish I test them before buying.
