I wonder which design. Any recommendation?

Good question, both are great designs. Perhaps because you have had blue CIEMs before that the mother of pearl ones give you something new? Blue are still really nice though and they have a good looking logo.

Aw you caught me. Couldn't resist the temptation going to HF. Thanks for giving me your input. I was thinking, "Why not both?" They look asymmetrical, but harmonious together IMO. The clear + pearl, and blue + logo. What do you think?

Also, what design would you like for your universal Wyville?

Hehe, love that gif!

If you can handle the asymmetry (my OCD would kill me ), then the two do seem to work well together.

My universal? Don't be silly mate!

Overseas sales are said to start in 2018, after their next set of 3D printing system arrive to double production capacity. Good news! Please contact Alvon, at alvon@avara-custom.com for more information, or pre-order.

Brief comparison of AV4, and FitEar MH334 I found on FB (https://www.facebook.com/AvaraCusto....1073741828.1466716040036517/1691690540872398) using AK380, and Hugo 2. Here are some points noted, and translated:

+ AV4 was tuned with FitEar MH334 as its basic reference.
+ Bass quantity is less on AV4 than 334, giving the impression of the midrange sounding cleaner. The 334 not only has a bigger bass, but also higher quality.
+ Soundstage-wise, AV4 is a bit bigger.
+ Instruments sound more detailed, and apparent with AV4.
+ 334 sounds more full-bodied, and sweeter. While AV4 presents itself with a lean, and cleaner sound. Note size is thinner on the AV4, making its separation ability better.
+ Midrange, vocals, and tonal balance is similar on the AV4 to the 334.

FYI, Avara also offer premium cable (right) besides their standard (left). The Avara Premium Audio cable costs IDR 750000, or ~ USD 52,5. Better build quality, more flexible ear-hook. Definitely more comfortable, and durable than their standard/stock cable. They can be purchased separately.

Keep in mind that everyone has a different sound preference, so YMMV.

What type of material they use for their cables ,???

 

[ranfan]

very nice informative post ,

Thank you Glad you enjoyed reading it.

Sorry, I'll ask @alvon19 tomorrow.

 

[rantng]

Also, what design would you like for your universal Wyville?

So they do offer universals as well?

 

[alvon19]

What type of material they use for their cables ,???

This is still copper based cable, but this Premium Cable has better sound quality (better micro details, wider soundstage) and more flexible to wear (thus providing better comfort as well).

 

[alvon19]

Yes we can build on universal shell or custom shell as well (with the same custom faceplate option between custom shell and universal shell)
