Guess it boils down to how long something has to be around to withstand FOTM. SE530's had a similar hype with manic advocates upon release but to this day are still held up in high regard.
Personally, I think we are going to be seeing many FOTM earphones. The Senn IE8's fall into this bracket too. The rate of release for earphones including ones with history is just too high and very unlike the old days when we would be waiting a blue moon for the next big thing to come around for everyone to cling onto.
That being said I do personally believe that the PFE's will withstand the test of time as no matter what sound sig you prefer, if you appreciate sound reproduction you have to commend its ability. In addition, it could become the go to iem for a balanced sound that doesn;t break the bank...atleast until something similar is released!
