If Jason uses the same scoring system, you can still infer their relative position.

Is Warbler by chance a ciem maker in Istanbul Turkey? I got one week left here and I'm bored as he'll. Would love to go demo them

IMO the biggest news in the CIEM industry is Empire partnering with Asius to create their CIEMS w/ADEL.  If any CIEM is worthy of a late inclusion it is Zeus-R w/ADEL.

IIRC, they won't be ready until next year?

hI everyone, i have a question. i was thinking to get LEAR BD4.2 but after i reads Jelt's review, i starting to doubt myself. do you think AAW w500 worth 300$ price different? and how about the shell size of AAW W500, is it as big as Lear? because i read so many reviews complaining about Lear shell size. thanks

While I can't answer the main part of the question, I'll say that W500 AHMorph shells are fairly big, roughly equal in size to my 10-driver Solar. Might be the dynamic driver increasing the overall size.

Hmm, could be the case indeed. But, on the other hand: my 2 universal hybrids (1plus2 and IT03) are absolutely smaller than my custom Solar

Maybe the W500 uses a bigger DD and needs more movement space inside...

I don't understand your price question. They are both the same price around 1k USD

Regarding my pairs, Lear has a bigger outer shell. Due to the socket placement and aftermarket cable use, W500 is slightly better in terms of comfort. For sure, that may change in another comparison.
