Glancing at the NT1's FR, they share heavy resemblance to the Knowles ED-29689, which are used in the ER4.

Has anybody purchased the NT-6 with the mother of pearl artwork? I've looked at the pictures online, but was wondering if they look as good in person. Thanks
I had mine done in mother of pearl (option MP8 on the website). I was lucky enough to be in Korea to see them in person before buying. Now that I received mine, pictures cannot capture how awesome they look. There are random swirls that change colors in the light. Also, the pearl is set beneath a polished clear layer which gives it nice depth.
I wish I could post pictures but this is my first post.
DAP - IBasso HDP R10
In Ear - Sony XBA H3, ER4P
Over Ear - Shure 1540, V-moda XS
Custom - Hidition NT6 w/ Linum Bax cable
Fit ad Finish are excellent. Good seal even with movement and can wear for hours and hours.
My preference for sound signature leans towards analytical with an occasional need for bass (rap, edm). The ER4P was close to my ideal but I kept feeling like the bass was too light in most songs. The NT6 gives me just enough bass and even more clarity compared to the ER4P and XBA H3.
Paired with the HDP R10, the NT6 is definitely a 10/10 for me. Only tweak I wish I could make would be to have the same soundstage as the XBA H3. It seems more open which is probably due to the H3 being a hybrid with vents. Pic now available!

Looks great! I do have to ask though. Are you not concerned about the socket placement of the ciem?
If you are talking about the socket for the wires, I initially was concerned that they would be easy to snap off. But i googled pictures of other ciems and saw similar socket placement so i thought it was normal. The socket position has not posed a problem for fitment with both memory wire and the Linum Bax cable. I have even had 2 snags and have seen no fracture or damage.
To me, if I do something to break them at the socket, then I have not been taking care of them like $1K earphones. If an accident happens it, then it happens. I do my best to protect them by always using the case when not listening. This is coming from a hardcore case hater who loved rolling up the wires and shoving the whole mess in my pocket.
Beautiful pair Driftstar, and congrats for your purchase.
I understand your point about the HDP-R10: I had the chance to audition a DX100 for about a month, and even though the combination is a little bright for my taste, the sound was really magical.
A big soundstage (rather 3D), with the ability to let you feel emotion, incredible bass slam, and the feeling to hear my pair at its full potential.
I am almost jealous
