Yeah, they are proprietary.

I wouldn't call the E40 bright or v-shaped IMO... It is pretty balanced in bass/mids/treble, just very forward in all frequencies. Think of it as having the bass and treble of a v-shaped IEM, but at the same time having the mids of a mid-centric IEM.

Yeap that is what I am saying thks for expressing it clearly

the entire IM series is underwhelming. IM02 which is the favourite of the lineup is actually CK90PROMK2 in different shell.

It's your opinion I guess but I think the majority of us would disagree

have you tried the older ath models haha? IM series is good but they mirrored the sound of their old models hence make it underwhelming

I had a CKN model but that's it.

I can pre order these already as they have them in a few places here in the UK which is a nice surprise!

That also means no import charges which I always get stung by!
 
£70, not bad

CK90 and CK100 are the IM series reference points

Even though I am pretty much an Audio Technica "fan", there is one problem that I mostly have with their in-ears - fit. As I am extremely picky on fitting, I hope that the E40 and maybe the E50/fit when I am going to demo them tomorrow, perhaps. Good to read that the E40 is pretty much positive as someone who adore the CKR10 despite their flaws and eventually traded them away, unfortunately.

True their ear tips are useless,but strange I am using those tips on my ex1 now and sounds better than stock tips.

speaking of fiio ex1 i supposed, the e40 is close to it.
have an ex1 to my collection. I feel e40 has more burst of excitement.Forward upper mids.

yes I am not sure why Audio Technica has more success with their new iems as compared to their older models which I believe the sonic performance can match the existing ones

 

[audio123]

for those deciding between e40 and p1, if u have the budget, go for P1

Their stock tips are actually pretty good on their own. The large ones if I am correct, worked on the DN-2000 pretty well for some time, in my experience. Like what you've said though; it's just the designs that lead to the ergonomics of some of the AT in-ears that did it to some in the end, in my opinion.

Looking forward to test them out, anyways.
