FoKus Pro just arrived. I think these are winners. I've owned the Falcon and Falcon PRO and HATED the fit. They came with super long nozzles and I'm not a fan of deep IEMs. I sold them off based on fit. I was never a huge fan of the sound either. They were very clinical, no warmth and not very musical. I realize others love them for their neutrality. My ears aren't good enough to give an audiophile review of SQ but the best I can say about them was they were boring.
The FoKus seems to address my two shortcomings: 1. Fit and 2. musicality. As for fit these are leaps and bounds better. They have a semi custom look and the blue plates are gorgeous. But the nozzle is shorter and they fit in with a medium insertion and seem to fit well out of the box with the included M tips. Sound is excellent. Connected via AptxHD to my Pixel and Aptx to my Fold. These are indeed musical on the default EQ setting. Like night and day versus the Falcon. I love them - tonality is spot on. Plenty of detail and a bit of warmth but not too much. I'd venture to call them on the fun side of neutral.
The app is solid. The EQ has 10 bands and allows you to adjust the gain individually by range which is a nice touch. I ran the custom EQ test a couple of time and all it did was bump the gain by 2db accross the range. Not really helpful but I'm enjoying them on the flat setting. Gonna do some burn in and report back after more listening.
