Is it just me or are these electrostatic driver iems just not very exciting?
I know that changing the implementation of a driver will change it's sound but reading that they are all made by Sonion is kind of a turn off for me, even if it's just a psychological one. Also, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the dome mids and dual ba lows on the Janis are gonna be the same drivers from the Lola
I think so re: Lola mids and lows. They were using bits taken from Lola diagrams during the event and if they did change out the bass drivers, they didn't mention it at all.
I mean, almost all BA drivers are either made by Knowles or Chinese copies of Knowles, with a few companies building proprietary drivers, and companies still manage to build entirely different products from those drivers.
My two experiences with PE tweeter IEMs were somewhat mixed. The EST version that I demoed had glaring coherence problems between the treble and mids, but treble quality was excellent. My takeaway from comparing the Monet to the EST was that Fitear had no issues with creating spectacular treble from BA's, and the EST's gain in treble quality doesn't offset the tuning difficulties. That said, having multiple PE drivers plus DD mids might afford JH tuning possibilities that aren't available on the simpler EST design.
