Yeah, I was fortunate that I was able to give a 4 hour listening session with the U12t and U18t. I know some other users on here have actually upgraded from the A12T to the A18T...but I couldn't justify another $1,000 for the 18T because the 12T sounds great! I can't wait for the N8T, I really want to get a hybrid IEM and an electrostatic IEM.
For another CIEM, hmm...I really haven't given much thought. I was so focused on 64 Audio because of their apex system. I have to wear IEMs at work for like 6-7 hours a day, and I realized after getting the Andromeda and Vega that no matter how satisfied I am with a universal's sound, I can't wear IEMs for longer than 1-2 hours. My ear canals are between medium-large size where medium foam/silicone tips fall out but large tips are TOO large and I'll get radial pressure/pain within 1-2 hours (not to mention fatigue).
Which is wy 64's two punch combo of a 3d printed shell with the apex tech sold me. And I can honestly say I've worn my A12Ts for 4-5 hours without once feeling any kind of pain or pressure or fatigue. I even fell asleep with them on one night and when I woke up, music was still playing and I still felt pain/fatigue free!
So searching for another CIEM will be difficult. I keep hearing great things about JH, UE, and Empire Ears, but I'd need to give them a listen before I can make a decision.
Since we seem to be on a similar level in terms of our IEM opinions/purchases, what CIEMs are interesting to you?
