With my journey into TOTL CIEMs, I have grown to love not only the impressive SQ offered but also the spectacular artwork resulting from the imagination of the purchaser to the abilities of the creative team at the top manufacturers that take it over the top. We all know what a Wizard design by Noble means.

To celebrate this creativity, I open this thread to share our favorite designs. My goal is to provide an enjoyable viewing experience, help future owners in their creative process, and to help raise the bar in general on future designs.

Please feel free to post your favorite design here in this thread.

Random designs that caught my eye:

Love the design of (I think) @Ultrainferno's Warbler Prelude you posted!

I also really love Marcus' (Headfonics) Vision Ears VE8.

And @Deezel177's Custom Art FIBAE 3.

Here is mine (Warbler Prelude). This design was inspired by the forest, and the little Warbler bird living within. Semi-transparent forest green (#0B6623), with the one driver inside representing the little bird.

An impressive amount of photos of ciems in QDC's lookbook. Great source of inspiration

These are no doubt some exceptional designs but I'm leaning more and more toward clear everything-as I did with my A12's so long ago. I sometimes wish I could see inside my A18's from the faceplate hah!

Wow what's even more impressive are their list of users if the names are to be believed. It includes a lot of big names in the music and film industry in China.

curious if owners visualise their ciems designs in situ (how the iems/you look whilst you are wearing them) or just them as "things" you admire when they are not in your ear.

(anecdote) a friend really regretted opting for a light wood burl faceplate without considering how it looked on him, the wood was almost the same shade of his skin but with dark swirly burls, making them look like oily (the gloss finish) fleshy tumors coming out of his ears.

...called him goatse ears for a year lol

Wow that’s a heavy hitting list of Chinese singers. are they the sponsor of the singer competition there? Saw most of the competitors of each season on that list

My Kumitate labs Sirius. Grinder tattoo style. I love the grinded pattern on the aluminum plate. They also fill in the whole ciem so the whole thing is pretty solid.

I started going faceplate only with the underside being clear for just that reason.
