Just posted my review of the Quad Driver with comparisons to the Pinnacle P1, Oriveti New Primacy and Hifiman RE-600. Hope it helps some people out, it's a really nice earphone overall if you don't mind the cable-down fit and average isolation.

loved your review. have you had the chance to listen to the im50? i would love some comments if you had, in relation to the quad of course.

The Quad Driver was the clearer, more balanced and dynamic earphone.

I have heard the IM50 on a few occasions. I think the IM50 is bassier but lacks the definition and texture of the quad driver, the IM50 has a more relaxed high-end and mids were a little less linear than the Quad Driver. The IM50 does isolate a lot more and the fit, despite the strange housings, is quite good. I personally prefer the Quad Driver, it was the clearer, more balanced and dynamic earphone where the IM50 sounded a bit soft.

Enjoyed reading this review as well. Thanks.

Just pulled the trigger on these - at £170 on Amazon UK, I couldn't resist. Be interesting to compare them to my Triples.

Just received the Quads.

First impressions: beautiful design, they fit even more easily and comfortably straight from the box than the Triples. Sound quality a noticeable step up - more balanced, more 3D soundstage, better resolution, mids seem more upfront

Win win.

 

[robm321]

Good to know. Mine should be here today too.

After having a short listen, I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. Busy weekend but will get some more time next week.

As mentioned, the build quality is very good.

Anyone with these and the CA Andromeda? I'm wondering how they compare in sound signature.
I could use a wire-down model for cases when the over-the-ear Andromeda isn't practical (due to cabling, sensitivity and pricier to replace if lost).

Just bought 1MORE Quads in Canada on my visit last week. After burn in seem excellent. Before burn in, a bit rotten - needed equalisation to achieve anything listenable.
I am uploading the sweep (7.83 to 40K) audio file (ran on loop for 24 hours) which really opened up these beauties. Listening to Talk Talk right now - Mark Hollis blooming genius.

Ok, I know how much people hate these kind of questions. Hell I HATE asking it. But I'm going to anyway - My current phones are the M-Audio IE20XB .... Would the 1MORE be a step up in sound or not?

How do quads compare against UE-s triple.fi-s? Sound and comfortwise?

Thank you for your well written and insightful review! I found these on Amazon prime with a one day shipping option, so I'll be able to listen to these tomorrow morning.
