Don't stop there! I just had the Neon 4 demo for a few days too, it's arguably the best tuned from the bunch but lacks the special sauce from the bigger brothers imo. Great IEM though.
Haha, one stop at a time! This Frontier series incredible. Too early for details but as good as Xe6 is, I feel right at home with Kr5.

I had emailed FiR about buying the Neon 4 in CIEM also, I liked it that much. They didn't respond to my email though and I think the desire has worn off by now lol.

Amazing series of IEMs.

And I thought you might have already headed back to universal side of things with Evo etc :smile:

How's the F-series pairing with N8ii? Do you get subbass/bass like the DX240? Hopefully better...

Nah just a temporary bass head fix. Jewel I’m still debating as custom but the universal fits me really well.

Oh.. the N8ii is in a league of its own. There’s no comparison to the DX240 😂

Agreed and exactly my thoughts after trying all of them. I'm still so undecided between the 3 of which one to get in custom, if I do. Will spend more time with them via Canada tour, CanJam was not enough time.

We need a South Africa tour of the Frontier Series. :)

All this hype wave needs to hit here.

Given the shape of the tips, you should try a smaller size.
These are temporary have some U shaped on order, everything else right ear kept falling out. These are those sticky ones, I happened to have. They warped U shaped. Regular round silicons are not staying in.
Do not like foams.

Talking about the deformed shape, caused by the fact that it's to big.
