  I was not expecting to re-open a touchy subject.
Anyway no price has been published and none will be.
Prices were given via PM, no need to give any reference except that you are from Head-Fi.
As far as I'm concerned, if I get accused of trying to make money, I think I can easily defend myself.

There are people working for most all of the sellers here on Head-fi. I am personal friends with one of them. generally he gives me the best prices and works with head-fiers, (so will most of the others, as they are all vying for your $$$) I have ceased posting links to his products and now even making direct references of ANY monetary amounts because of being accused of being a shill. Also under advisement by several moderators, (Very nicely I might add, they are great guys), as I am too closely associated by friendship to remain, shall we say.... Neutral. Unfortunately this has not been the truth in any way and if certain people wish to keep on they simply have ruined the fact that I have somewhat taken advantage of my inside information to save them money.
 
To this I say: GO AHEAD AND SHOOT YOURSELVES IN THE FOOT and your forum brothers along with yourselves.
 
Rant Over.
 
Ewen, I understand exactly where you are coming from. We are living in an age where it is fashionable to take offense whenever possible to whatever anyone else does that doesn't please whomever is judging that particular action. We are now a nation of Pansies and Whiners and those who feel entitled.

Nailed it. I work for a hotel loyalty company in a small and unique department. One of the "fun" tasks I handle are status exceptions; i.e. guest requests an upgrade back to our most elite status for X reason. Oh wow do I ever run into some special chums working those. Entitled doesn't cover the half of it. Holy $%^&...

I got the VE Monks a while back. While they do sound excellent, I missed my beloved sub-bass part more than I anticipated.
Maybe it would be an idea if Lee changed the form-factor to a more 'earpod' like form. Like Samsung did with their bundled s6 headphones; seems there is less loss of bass in that form factor.
I tried doing it myself as a DIY project, but the drivers don't fit in an Apple earpod housing. Other earbud drivers did fit and I saw a clear increase in the bass amount...

  I just uploaded my full review of the LEAR NS-U1: http://www.head-fi.org/products/lear-ns-u1/reviews/15804
 
It's a single dynamic driver in-ear with second integrated crossfeed (called NatroSound™) driver that can be activated and deactivated. It does a good job for a dynamic driver in-ear around US$200 (I'd say on-par w/ Finder X1 but with a different approach; not as good as the LHF-AE1d though) and I have discovered some interesting things with enabled NS. However, the real fun just starts with the additional NSC-03 cable that lets one tweak the amount of bass and NS depending on preference - then the mids can also be tweaked to sound neutral with NS on (with the standard cable, the mids are on the thick and warm side when NS is engaged).

 

 
Wow! Nice concept coming from them!......Thanks for sharing!

  You're in for a treat. I'll say it now, "Sorry about your wallet". You'll see why in time.

 
   Haha! I'm Excited for my future in this hobby, but my wallet won't be happy!

 
The one has more power but at a cost of more noise floor, I believe the NX2 is cleaner and more refined as well as a better stacking shape and overall size

As an FYI my NX2 drives my Havi B3 just fine, one of my favorite rigs with FiiO X3ii

 
   Oh, I'm steering more towards NX2 now. Should pair nicely with my Oneplus One for a nice portable rig. Thanks!

Sorry, this is a bit off topic. I love my Tennmak Pro dual DD IEM, but I've got the 2016 Easy UEs coming and I want a much wider soundstage, so I figured why not mod a little bit while waiting for my order... Now don't worry, I didn't break anything.
It's my first time modding and I honestly am just starting to understand how sound works , so what I did was drill/poke 3 small holes into the back of the IEM's which seems to have done very little and now I'm feeling dumb. SO WHAT I'M IN HERE FOR IS to ask if anyone has any tips (?) on how to widen the soundstage. Should I keep on poking holes? Should I try doing a Dunu Titan-esc thing and puncture a bunch of holes on the inner side? Should I try replacing the back with different materials? Any thoughts help...
 
 
I apologize if there is already an IEM modding thread I missed and this is too off topic.
 
Thx!

So, finally I'm able to give a brief review on the HLSX-8 (8mm version) after 100 hours of play time, it might be beneficial for some, others might just want to skip these if you're not interested after my initial review.
 
When you first hear the HLSX-8 you think you just slapped the Rock Zircons in your ears! Yes, that's right! These sound VERY CLOSE to the Rock Zircons' sound signature! But then, I thought was really hoping for these to sound more like its bigger brother, the HLSX-808's, which in the end? They don't.
 
Here goes some comparisons to give you an idea where they stand.
 
HLSX-8 vs. HLSX-808, K3003, Sendiy M2
 
HLSX-808 are still my favorite just edging the K3003 and the Sendiy M2's, but the HLSX-8 eventually will not compete in this level. They are more "bass prone" and the soundstage is not as big, but presence and overall sound signature is very good at its price range! They have great efficiency, just as loud as the K3003!.....which is great for an IEM this size and they play excellent through comply or sponge tips, as well!
 
HLSX-8 vs. Rock Zircons
 
Immediately, when I hear the HLSX-8....I think of the Rock Zircons! They have incredible bass response and can compete side by side against the Zircon's in bass alone! The only thing that seperates both is the fact that the Zircons provides better staging, while the HLSX-8's provides better presence. In this case, it's all about preference between wanting a dynamic driver, or a BA armature for your vocals and highs.
 
So overall, I think they are good for their price if you're looking for a totaly V-shape sound signature with awesome bass and excellent presence!
 
Here are some pics! Enjoy! 

 


   HiListening.....Has a nice touch, hey?

Thanks!

Hybrids are unique because they combine the best sounding bass possible from a dynamic driver and match it with the clarity and transparency of a good sounding BA armature. And definitely I still like the sound signature of my 808's as my favorite because they are really easy to listen to with most genres.

ok thanks I will order at the end of the month. You have the metal ones right, as in not the wooden version?

Oh wait I just looked at your earlier post with pics of the 808 and noticed you got them from taobao. They're different in appearance to the ones I have on my wishlist from AE - the vent hole is in the center and the impedance is different (17Ω). Now I'm totally confused. I remember you posting something about the differences but can't recall. Not sure I want to risk buying these other ones:

According with my conversation with EASY on my "PM" he's getting it from the same maker. It has the AFX BA driver system, whether the port hole is to the side, or center. You should be okay.

  .....slight typo on the impedance, probably.

Okay thanks for clarification. I will most likely get them soon.
