  I'm having a bit of a dilemma...Hopefully you guys can help me out...
I've been thinking for a while now to go up the heaven series. Although i read this thread 2 times, still can't figure out between the H6,H7,H8 or the FI-BA-SS(T). My 2 favorite IEMs right now are the Heaven IV, and the Grado GR10. But each has something the other doesn't. I love the overall sound signature of the H4, but it's missing the openness, instrument separation and 3D presentation of the GR10. And in the GR10 i'm missing the low end power and impact from the H4. 
I saw some of you here have the GR10 and some of the Finals. Which do you think blends these attributes better? Basically is not a problem of the price difference between the H6,7,8. Or maybe i should save up some more and get the FI-BA-SST? 
Auditioning is not easy to do, as i'm located somewhere in China now.

H7 (smoother) or FI-BA-SS (more raw / energetic).

I received my AKR02 (FI-BA-SS) today and I now understand why this IEM has so many fans.

One question since I've never owned a BA design before: are they subject to burn-in like a dynamic driver? I am a believer in burn-in having experienced it numerous times at my work and in my home.

Don't really need burning in, it's sounds damn good out of da box already.

It has always been my understanding that balanced armatures don't need burn in

The FI-BA-SS is so good that even my Fitear Tg334 sounds veiled compared to it!
