I've tried searching, but not a lot of answers.
I would like to buy these soon, but I am confused about the differences between models. Right now I am looking to buy the S model.
I have heard you can modify the IEMs so that they could switch between the S and P variants, is this true?
I've heard the P does not require and amp, but the S does, is this true? I want the best sound quality possible, but I do not want to have to use an amp on these, only on the headphones I am looking at.

You didn't look hard enough.

The only difference is the higher impedance the cable on the S model provides. You can change a P to an S with an P->S adapter or cable, but there is no reversing an S to a P unless you swap the cable. They are not user-switchable. If you don't want to use an amp, use P. S requires an amp.

Btw, the cable is user replaceable. But still, if you want both get the P and the P->S adapter.

Thanks! So there is no difference between buying an S and buying a P then converting it? I'll buy the P then, so I can get basically two versions, one for ultraportable use and one for semiportable use but better sound quality.

Exactly. The only downside is the small extra run of cable + weight of connector when using in S mode.

The P is also good if you eventually get one of the amps with a p to s switch, then you still have the p for unamped and get a s without uding the converter cable/plug

Does either the Predator or the 2move have one of those switches?
