Yes, the i88 looks very interesting ...

OK, here’s another song suggestion for the i99 ... sounds unbelievable!

“Somewhere Down That Crazy River”

I would think there must be some who bought the i88 and can comment on how it sounds ...

Understand your position, but get the extra time on them before you decide to sell it. For me, this is a genre specific IEM that nothing in my collection can reproduce, so they are a keeper. Plus, I really like the build although I’ll likely experiment with better cables in the future.

Some of the under $150 Chi-Fi models hitting the market are putting a lot of pressure on the mid tier priced models, for sure.

So back in July I made my sort of initial comments of these. In the months since, I've been comparing lots of sets to these and listening to them more and more.

This might be the slowest a pair has grown on me.... But I can now definitely say it's a staple in my collection. Well see how it makes in the next round of basshead acquisitions...

I now totally understand and agree with BGGAR actually in a narrow sense. This is the Legend X tuning but better implemented with the single, plated Beryllium driver.

The timbre is simply more natural and pleasant (when all the pluses and minuses are taken into account) on this driver than the combined on the hybrid drivers in the legend X. While the tuning is the same it sounds so different as to almost be apples and oranges (staging, separation, imaging, timbre especially). Strange.... the legend X certainly had the harder hitting, slamtastic, faster bass, but these are basshead in their own right in the sense of depth and rumble. They really get into that lowest octave better than anything else I have heard including the LX.

Odd sounding set, not for everyone but I've grown very fond of them giving their uniqueness.

I basically carry 3 IEMs with me now. The i99, TRI I3 and whatever I feel like comparing those to or have recently acquired. Totally different from how I listened when I was in my office, but it really has made me realize what my favorite sets are, and one thing I really can say is that there isn't that much of a correlation between the price of sets and where I rank them....

I'm not sure how much these cost to make, but if the price could be lowered to $200-250 I think these could be a legit giant killer. At the price they're at, I'm not sure they got enough reviewers to hear them and not many takers at the price given the competition in Beryllium drivers. I own several of the cheaper Beryllium drivers but these do really sound different from the rest of them with their own unique timbre and are a step up from the urbanfun or other sub-150 berryliums. I wonder if the Thor mjolnir will sound more like those or the i99. I guess I should know soon since the drop is supposed to ship November 2....

The i99 is very very good IMO, I have my pair since August and I have bought the rest of the line-up on 11-11 so I should get the i88, i77 and i77 Pro in the coming weeks, we'll see how these go.

I’ll be watching for your comments on the other models ...

get it, besides being a great basshead headphone, it goes way beyond its price range. it blows away a ton of headphones around.

after hearing em, i went and hit the buy now button on the i88 mini, i88 seems a bit "balanced" for my tasting, im an open bass head

 

[iron2k]

well i got them and didn't like them... sold them
