I've received the EX1's today and kudos to @pixelsphotopro for repackaging them so nicely. Could easily mistake them for a brand new pair AND for sending them in a timely manner and PMing me when a delay would happen, something so simple is astounding how others in different loaner programs can't grasp. 
 
All seems to be in working order, and I'm excited to listen to them tomorrow (it's late and I've a clopen to do *sigh*)

I will post my full written review to Head-Fi tonight when I get home from work. But again thanks @Joe Bloggs and Fiio for allowing me the honor of taking part in not just a review tour of these but Fiio's very FIRST. So again thank you.

Great work so far guys, I'm still waiting for my review unit to arrive.

Wondering out loud, will those who participate in the tour get a special price if we choose to get the EX1? Lol.

Some thoughts on the EX1...
 
These definitely exceeded my expectations! I actively avoided the Dunu Titan 1 after reading about harsh highs and weak lows. Either Fiio addd some special sauce to the EX1, or I was listening to people who want a serious \-sloped IEM because the EX1 push a lot of the right buttons for me. 
 
  1. Slightly north of neutral bass?  Check!
  2. Neutral midrange? Check!
  3. Detailed upper end? Check!
  4. Open & spacious sound? Check!
 
Could they be improved? Sure. the highs could be a bit smoother, the mids could be a tad more forward, and I prefer the supple Dunu cable over the springy Fiio cable. But for the price of entry, these are definitely worth it!
 
Nice job Fiio!
 
For a slightly lengthier take and a bit of comparison with the new Dunu Titan 3 & 5 check out my post on Golden Ear
