Wow.
I was chomping at the bit for mine, so I thought I'd call in for an update. The guy told me that the EARLIEST it would ship is MAY 25th!!!. I said, my order says March 19th for expected ship date. He said "sometimes inventories change."
Order cancelled.
I'll guess I'll go back to my original thought: Campfire Vega.
I'm sure I'll look at the N5005 as the one that got away, and I'll eventually get it once they become more available.

Thank you for your Impressions! Especially for measuring the diameter for us.
I read your review as the N5005 sound pretty neutal. I am looking forward to hear them myself.
Have you already tried foam tips? Maybe you can recomand some.
Enjoy your new IEM!
Going to order some InAir 1 and some comply but not sure which comply to order.
Tried some symbio w tips last night which fitted but really killed the detail.
That’s a bit of a strange one as they are still available for shipping in the EU.

got these today, usual amazing quality packaging. Bluetooth adapter charging, phones are plugged into my Somy WM1A having a big of a burn in while I feed the kids. Looks like the mmcx connector is not standard? I’ve got a Sony 4mm balanced cabled and it doesn’t fit, doesn’t snap on...will investigate further and update. Got the comply ts-500 tips on them currently but I’ll be rolling some probably this weekend. No sound impressions yet other than both earpieces work.
Nice pics.
I’ve ordered some T-400 tips along with InAirs should be here tomorrow

Yeah, seems like the akg socket is maybe shallow? I’ve got Beyerdynamic xelentos and the akg cable fits them ok (snaps on and audio comes through) but the Beyer cable will not snap on to the akgs. Bit disappointed as I was hoping to use my Sony 4mm balanced cable with these, maybe I’ll reterminate the 2.5mm to 4mm

Which Sony earphones? Are You sure Sony's MMCX socket is standard?

Sony mmcx cable. Also the beyerdynamic mmcx cable, niether fit the akgs. Think I might have a Shure mmcx cable, I’ll dig that out and try it too.

Spent some time with these now (not much) don’t like any of the supplied tips, comply ts-500 are great. These are a step up from the k3003, they seem to portray more detail but still retain that lovely bass which you can chew on (so to speak). Also they don’t work their way out of your ears like the k3003, fit is solid. Think I’m going to enjoy these.

Have I ordered the wrong tips with the comply t-400? I went by bore size.

@McCol So how are these opening up with burn in, less underwhelming?

Maybe not, the 500s are easy to put on, maybe the 400s will just be a snugger fit
Will see how they are tomorrow, might order the 500s as well!
