Has anyone gotten the AE1's? I want a pair of customs but I am so turned off by the fact your ears change so quickly. I am 17 and I believe my ears might change even quicker so I am thinking the AE1's would be the best for me as I am also going to get the impressions done at an audiologists.

Any opinions on the AE1's compared to the AE2's, is it worth the $130 upgrade?

I had C1000 (essentially same thing), and I would definitely go for either AE2 or AE3. I just wasn't satisfied with single driver.

Thank you, I was kinda figuring that since that one driver is supplying all the sound, oh well, looks like I am gonna step it up to the AE2's, is there anyway to upgrade these or is it pretty much once they don't fit they are useless

Yes, you can upgrade. I would assume that you could pay for re-fit later on also.

hifidk,
how much did you pay for your upgrade? Was it price of C3 - C1000, or full price of C3?



I don't know if I can share the price. But I paid a bit over C3 - C1000. Which seemed a bit expensive but still reasonable I thought.

No worries, hifidk, I got the point. thanks!

Anyway, my AE1 arrived today.
My initial impression, it sounds really bright, bass is pathetic for an IEM, with a decent staging.

What accessories do you guys get? I got only a small pouch.
Will post the picture as soon as my camera back!

Cheers!

I've just read through 85 pages of this thread... my eyes are dead.. but my ears are excited... rofl..

i reckon i might pick these up, so its been said and confirmed that the logo can only be in 1 colour? i saw the "calling all custom IEMs thread" and saw quite a few designs with more than 1 colour. just checking if theres any updates for alien ears?

My AE1. Translucent moke grey with Bart Simpson skull head.
Actually I was asking for metallic silver for the artwork, but it turned out to be white. Not a big deal, but I'm a bit upset.

It's been 20+ hours, bass is getting a bit better and not as bright as my first impression.

Cheers.
