By organic I think you mean the smoothness of some earphones. I think the only inherent weaknesses of the S-018 are they aren't smooth. They also lack airiness and 3D imaging. But aside from those small qualms, they do just as you said. That's exactly how I hear them. Good to read someone post a spot on description of how I hear the S-018.

Is your IEM sig in order of what you like most to least?

Two different sound sigs/designs, wouldn't that make it easier to choose?  DuoZA getting a lot of hype in Discovery thread.  I'm pretty sure it kills A71, now wondering how it stacks up against other dd heavy hitters like FX850 and CKR10.  T2 on the other hand, might be the first quality budget 3-way hybrid.

They are saying that it doesn't quite get up to the FX850 nor CKR series, but amazing price to performance ratio; nothing better at under $150.

To a point. I think that the GR07BE = SoundSOUL S-018, due to the sibilance issue and the better bass response on the S-018, though the GR07BE are airier, more lush, and smoother, but I will go to war with anyone who tries to tell me the GR07 has better detail retrieval and instrument separation than the S-018, due to price or some preconceived notion of superiority, because in a A/B, I hear just as much detail being shot forth from the S-018 as the GR07, but there's hardly a hint of sibilance from the SoundSOUL, where the GR07 has terribly hot upper mids/lower high peaks, unless you use Comply's. To me this makes it equal. After that, it's the Tenore, UE 700, Sony Ex300, and then Sony C10B. I used the Sony C10B last night on my A15 for a hour of listening, and the lack of bottom end was so unfulfilling. Especially when I put my FX750 back in. It was a silly difference lol

So @RedJohn456 finally gets to ride the S-018 train! I just hope once he gets them, he'll love them as much as I do, and think the wait was worth it?

~~cheers~~ to a new IEM

"Can anyone read Chinese here and care to tell me more about astrotec am600 ? Look like it is also a hybrid dynamic and balanced amature headphones ? Thank you"
 
 
 
AM600 is a 9mm dynamic budget model >$50.
 
They have a newer model...http://www.shenzhenaudio.com/astrotec-gx-50-hifi-in-ear-supra-aural-earphones-headphones.html
 
Looks pretty but also not a hybrid based on that. They do have the two hybrids but those Astrotec hybrids are kinda old now. Obviously paying a bit more for a T2 is the way to go then buying the old AX's which were not even too well regarded back when they were amongst the only budget hybrids.
