[SpringBiscuit]

Not sure anyone has seen it, recently just launched, it is the first single Balance Armature from Hippo, design is inspired by Westone UM1, priced at a competitive range in the market.



 
Tried it and they sounded great, with USD128, it really does able to perform, signature learns toward Phonak and Beyerdynamic category, i believe this can be a great product to share with everyone.

The orange and blue foam is pretty funky.

There's been more discussion on the Pro One on this thread:

I've yet to hear it, but I assume it'll sound decent; I'm mostly looking forward to modding it, though.

Ha ha yeah, that is "Hippo foam" from hippo themselves.

Indeed they are great =), close signature with Phonak series.

How does the foam compare to Complys and Shure olives?  What other IEMs will it fit (the equivalent in Comply's line up)?

 

[Swimsonny]

There is different sizes, same numbers as the Comply line up. They are great i think, The colours are great for right and left identifying and they are really good quality, much better than the last generation of hippo tips, best value/quality ratio in foam tips!

Just got mine to review, no foams though. I use Shure olives and I must say they are very good for a single BA, I think they are better than the dual driver Rockit R-50, smoother no real big peaks and quite good extension on ends. Will update with review when it's done.
