Yup , also the gold but that's way more expensiveAre the Rockets the most full in the lower mids and smoother in the upper-mids and highs than those Flare IEMs?

might as well look at Flare Audio. they are basically rockets. I've had rockets & Flares Pro. Flares are way better.
The rockets are no longer manufactured nor are they supported under warranty nor is aurisonics still a company.
For all of those reasons I would go with the flares. Look for some old R2pros or go ahead and get flares pro 2 like I had they were fantastic
Fiio fh3Been curious about Flares for a while- every once in a while they have pretty deep discounts too, but the impressions I've read gave me the idea that Flares tended to be either kind of neutral-bright-ish or v-shaped depending on the model? (not that I mind, just speaking in terms of Rockets replacements).
I'm not up on a lot of newer IEMs but FWIW probably the Sony XBA-N3 is the closest I've found to the Rockets in terms of price-performance & recommendability, though not quite as well balanced with their sound signature (still warmish, but less neutralish + big low bass boost).
So apparently rockets are now wireless.
What's the closest alternative to the rockets that in terms of size and shape? My rockets broke a long time ago and I'm looking to replace it with something similar. If anyone has one for sale, I'd be interested.
Thanks, I’ll look into those.Just reminded me I never got around to attempting recable, and can't find 'em now. I imagine they still hold up pretty well against contemporary IEMs.
Not many designs with rear-entry cables I can think of. In terms of things I've actually used, Etymotic ER series if you can find a straight cable that works with their modified MMCX socket. JVC FD7, has a straight barrel design but much wider and more of a shallow-fit IEM with side-entry cable.
Off the top of my head that I've not used: Atomic Floyd Mini-Darts (rear-entry). Tanchjim Darling and Akoustyx R2 appear to be narrow-ish side-entry. Rose Mini series. Shure Aonic 3 is quite small, sort of barrel shaped but has an angled nozzle, side entry cable.
Folks in the Discovery thread might have some suggestions.
