My guess is same driver config (DD, BAs and ESTs) as Xe6 but with different tuning.
Matte black shell is sharp. Wonder what the faceplate looks like

It has functionality of bone conduction, but this is their Kinetic Bass driver like in other models of Frontier Series, not BCD like in other brands.
Also, @Garney you are on the right track since all FirAudio iem models have a number which corresponds to a total # of drivers

Courtesy of bluestorm1992, I have an xe6 in the collection 
. Quick question for folks, how do you get the atom modules out of the little case safely?

Also when I demoed the xe6 with blue storm on my n8ii, it took me a couple minutes to recalibrate my hearing. I also tried on tube mode which probably was not the best way to start. You definitely need some time to adjust your hearing on these. The combo in this photo however absolutely blew me away. I’ve been in this hobby a while and own both a bird and jewel, and the combo in this photo is the best thing I’ve ever heard hands down. I’m astounded the xe6 can manage that level of detail retrieval / resolution while retaining the incrediblebass level and quality. Simply amazing. If anyone is looking for a jewel or bird I’ll likely list one or both soon. They’re all great but there’s a reason I kept a legend x longer than any other iem (despite it’s obvious flaws). The xe6 really checks the boxes for me.

Looks like Radon 6 is at CanJam! Some sleuthing on FiR’s insta story… faceplate design similar to the current Frontier series trio but with matte black shells 
Can’t wait to see some pictures of the IEMs themselves!

Day 624 of tuning in to radio silence after I won a raffle on IG which was supposed to mean I was a part of "something cool". Being ignored is not cool.
On 11th of July 2021 I won a token that was supposed to be usable for remedption sometime in the future. Meanwhile, a few months ago @bogdan belonozhko hinted again at something cool being meant for them. All this time was accompanied by radio silence on FiR's behalf with no end in sight. I'm just bummed by the fact I'm a part of a dead end. I don't care when it will happen or whatever it will turn out to be, but pretending the giveaway didn't occur is lame and a great way to disengage the community.

100 firry hand painted portraits were given to 100 purchasers of an M series CIEM product in Hong Kong. +2 were raffled away on instagram. It’s a pretty cool portrait of firry and the tokens on the back may or may not be redeemable at some point. 101 other people have portraits with tokens. Again they may or may not be used in the future. When we do use them it will be a pleasant surprise.

The promotion that you are referring to is what is called a "cascade". An effect where certain results are not equal to others, but remain positive in contrast to the base-line which in many cases is equal to a value of (the number Zero: #0). Some results "resonate" with the root, others do not. Many chalk this up to fate, but others say it is a response to the "attitude".

I'm still stoked that I won these, Bogdan and Vlad were super Kool people and can't wait to hear the Rn6 again.
