That would be a sight to see. Given the level of quality the AD01 has already brought to the table, a simple re-tune would definitely make them a very strong competitor in its price bracket.

Great statement thatBeatsguy. I wholeheartedly agree!

  @nmatheis @hakushondaimao these are still early in development.  but the AD02 will feature the same detachable DC connectors, better designed housing, better packaging. sound signature wise is still not decided yet: I have 2 possible sound signatures at the moment: 1 that is technically accurate and the other one is more warm and smooth sounding. If I like both sound, you might even get a AD03 at the same time.  

Definitely vote for both, though if you only do one I'd go technically accurate.

I agree but would really like both

 Have begun my 7 days of listening and am on old Van Halen "And the Cradle will Rock"....Pink Floyd...very nice.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The sub bass on test tracks drops below typical hearing threshold (20hz)
I can say the sub bass on flat eq unamped goes all the way down.
 
  ** will go all in on bass check at the end of my time with em**
 
These are actually tuned really nicely. I pulled 500 down a notch and lifted 1k and 2k a tad more and BINGO. That's pretty minimal adjusts.

That spoken word section is a great red flag for a freq dip in early mids that will cause male vocals to sound hollow and the words will be almost not there or imperceptible . They sound perfectly clear. There seems to be a dip near 1-2k . I gotta note that the TTPOD-E have a 4.5 star rating and I am "A" "B"ing them with the Alpha & Delta and the AD01 seem to be superior to those in all manner
 
 
 

 
 
And that's it...

Migrating away from X5 to Note 4 on day 2 and the 9ohm 30mW max input showing their bennies.
These are good candidates for a long trip with minimal interaction....pretty much plug n' play
 
 
 

 
 
Am using the Cowon for the first time in a while and it sounds very nice.

hey guys, how do you compare these with the KC06/KC06A?

The sub bass roll off of the KC06 is not an issue with the AD01. Am on my 5th day of listening to these AD's and will do a review this weekend.

Will they survive the bassmastah's lab???

You mentioned life being breathed into old recordings.
 
Dark Side of the Moon sounds outstanding on these. Price to performance ratio is very much in favor of the buyer IMO. Grab em' n' go type IEM. no fuss no worries.
 
Good stuff!

Hawaiibadboy: Eagles and Sabbath sounded mighty tasty with AD01. I'm wondering how you'll like them with more modern, bass heavy music.

 Great actually. I was checking for fast guitar or slow acoustic issues and got stuck enjoying them before proceeding to the bread and butter

 
They play music with trap beats or Rap/Hip Hop really well. Wish they could handle more power but they are for the plug n' play crowd. They outta like these.

 Thanks @nmatheis

 
It's not like other reviews in design but I think that works good for everybody.  I really do need to pay more attention to the plug n play crowd. These fit them fine.  I was asked cuz I like bass but I listened to 70's classic rock more than anything else

. They sound really nice and smooth for folks with a big collection of old masters put to vinyl originally. 
 
For anyone who stumbles in here ...your old rock acoustic or electric will sound really nice on these. Bass ....goes without saying....but they shine on more than that

I wholeheartedly agree with you about these shining with classic rock!
