FEARLESS Audio IEM's Discussion/Impressions

Yeah that is partly why I like them for the in your face performance. I usually have gain on high but for those I would turn that off and crank the volume down for longer listening sessions. The legend X are all around a better listening experience for comfort. Have you got a chance to listen to the EE Valkarie? How do they compare to Roland?

The Valkyrie sounded "thin", seems something was missing. LX sounds more full-bodied and engaging. I personally think Roland is better.

Im wondering why there is not a single S8 pro used here listed. Is S8Pro that good that all the owners wanna keep it? Im so interested to these S8P or Roland. Might try S8pro first before jumping a grand on Fearless brand.
I'm preparing to sell my S8p

Man, these go DEEP in the canal. I'm a full size smaller on foams. Using Spinfit CP145, UAPP, LG G7 through ALO Rx

First impressions:

1. Stock Fearless cable was bad, cut in and out at the jack. Replaced with Forza hybrid I just happen to have hanging around.
2. Neutral bass, but impactful, not what I'm used to from IEMs- it's usually hyped bass or impact, never both. Very cool.
3. Nice, detailed midrange. Super clear.
4. Bass is VERY dependent on seal.
5. Violins are heaven on these. Holy smokes...

I am sure you are getting a ton of questions being one of the early adopters, but I am also curious about size of these shells and how they fit in the canal. In fact, a pic of them in ear would be awesome, or at least a size description relative to some other iems on hand. Speaking of other iems, while I know not in the same tier, it would be cool if you could provide a few thoughts on differences in tonality to your beloved Tanchim Oxygen, which is probably my favorite DD iem. Thanks so much for reporting your impressions for us!

When I say deep insertion, I mean DEEP.

I'd like $350 + shipping. Want to recover cost of T800 that are replacing them in my rotation. Due to the size of my IEM rotation, S8p had little use especially lately. I wanted them for commute and NYC subway is just too filled with rumble so I ended up using iBasso it03 instead (those are completely sealed). Didn't use original cable and case.
Curiously Roland is not the reason I'm selling S8pro.
