How do they sound? Did you have BA4R?I 

I didn't have the 4, I've got the 2BA
 
Its probably too soon to comment on the sound of the CE6, they only just arrived. I will say the build is top notch, really polished and the new otter style box is a nice addition.

My CE6E is my fav custom from CE but I have to admit the CE6P and the new CE4 sound extremely good, especially the 6P

Finally got around to taking these photos. An update on them would be they sound so amazing to me whether through the x3 alone or through Tomahawk LineO.

Nice pics!  Still waiting on my micros to come back atm.  Mind you couldn't use them as my right ear is currently blocked   Ironically this was getting them cleared out by using the cerumoil drops.  They cleared the wax out ok,but left the residue inside my right ear that has, you guessed it blocked it again
 
Can anyone else add the ba2 to the cart or is it just my account again?  Everything else seems to be there.
 
Also what type of isolation are people getting with the ciems in acrylic?  Just wondering the difference between acrylic and silicone?
 
Thanks.

What that sounds like a really dumb error! Why wouldn't they siphon put the earwax?

The isolation with my CE4E is incredible. Whenever I have them on even if music is off people sounds like they are whispering ever so sweetly to me. Furthermore when driving I can't even feel the wind or more like the phenomena that comes from whering phones and high speed wind.

I look forward to saving for the CE6 in the future to see how the impact of the low end sounds on them.

Everything depends on the fit, in particular whether you have musician fit, but generally speaking silicone and acrylic isolate differently (they block different frequencies differently). So, although there are a lot of people having opinion thaht silicone isolates better, actually one should not say so.

Good point. Also one should consider the individual. People have slightly different ear muscle/cartlidge density and this can determine which is better Acrylic or Silicone. Most people have a soft ear muscle/cartlidge and Acrylic is a better choice for them as the hard Acrylic suits the softer muscle/cartlidg. On the flip side a few people have a harder muscle/cartlidge and thus with Silicone is a better choice being softer than Acrylic. This is one reason why some people prefer Acrylic to Silicone and vice versa.
 
The debate here though is not on which is better, it is on isolation. Personally I would say Silicone can provide a slightly better isolation although IMHO the difference is negligible, I personally would always take Acrylic. Isolation is 90% of the time down to the level of fit, this is why it is always important to have open mouth impressions and DO NOT talk whilst having them taken.
 
I wrote a post some time ago on the importance of a fit for a CIEM, it could be useful for those that have not seen it to have a look at it. post #3330

Nice.  My right ear canal is slightly smaller than the left.  So when I use the cerumoil drops as prescribed what normally happens is that it dissolves the wax ok, but the residue instead of draining out gets blocked.  So I have to get that cleared instead!  Ironic really.  Left ear as ever is fine. 
 
Did get a very nice tax rebate yesterday which has set me pondering....

Yeah, the crucial thing is to take impressions properly.

From comfort perspective I prefer acrylic as well BA4R was the best in this respect out of all my CIEMs which I owned up to date.

Have you considered offering a Cosmic silicone model Phil?

 

[PhilGT]

  Have you considered offering a Cosmic silicone model Phil?

Yes, considered but no plans to do it.

 

[fabian005]

Shucks on the silicone! Phil is new site up yet? And is it keeping the same site url?

 

[Q Mass]

 
Yes, considered but no plans to do it.

That's a shame, but I can certainly understand why you'd stick to acrylic.
 
BTW, am I right in thinking that the 'Elite' designated models are bassier than the 'Pro'?

Correct E - Enhanced Lows

 

[Deviltooth]

What about a silicone filled acrylic model?  I know some companies have offered them before.  Would this result in even better isolation?
