Anyone in Singapore who would like to share the rewards? Looking to get a Delta and less shipping is always nice.

If only you were on the other side of the world in Seattle.......

Pretty sure there'll also be guys in Seattle thinking the same thing.

Here's what I posted in the review I did:
 
If I was to describe the Hyperion in a few words, it would be “vivid”, “detailed”, “alive” – yet at the same time, it has its own refinement and balance.  When I first heard the Hyperion I was sure there was a slight V shape – and I guess there still is – but it doesn’t seem out of place (and for someone who like’s overall balance, that is really saying something).  The Hyperion seems to strike a very good match between detail and balance.
 
V sound is there - slightly elevated highs and bass.  Mid range is very full though.  Just because it has a mild V does not mean the mids are recessed. If you're a mid-range lover you will like the Hyperion. The Havi is pretty much flat and distant.  It is not a mid oriented earphone. The mids on the Havi are thin in comparison.
 
I can't make it clearer than that ......

Thank you very much for the comparison Brooko.
 
I personally don't like IEMs with too much V shape sound and lesser mids than Havi B3 would be a deal breaker for me as I like my vocals and mids more upfront like on IM50s which has very addicting vocals. Is the diffence in the midrange so big? Which Trinity model do you think has the best midrange presentation?

 
 
  Hmm it's interesting that Bob says that the Hyperion is mid centric - how does that square with reviews describing it as a v shaped signature

 
To him it may be mid-centric.  Compared to the IEMs I know, I'd still call it a mild V. Again this does not mean the mids are recessed.

So I'm guessing the Deltas are relatively neutral whilst retaining a full sound. What difference do you think the addition of the BA makes? Does the Titan sound more airy for being semi-open? Thanks.

Titan is much more open and airy but of course no isolation.  with the gold tips id say the Delta is pretty neutral but the bass is a little over neutral and is rather full.
  I used to own a Westone UM2 which is a dual BA driver, i feel it's quite decent for me. Does anyone owned the UM2 can give some brief comparison with the Delta?

the um2 are competent but as interesting as a glass of lukewarm water.the delta as far fuller in the bass mids more forward and clean, highs more sparkly than the dull subdued UM2.

which means that delta is in everyway better than UM2 ? Wow..I'm impressed...given the price difference....

pretty much.
 
i mean the um2 isnt terrible, if my job was to spend all day everyday listening to stuff then the boring um2 would be a great option because its going to be utterly non fatiguing on the ear.  if your listeing for enjoyment then its just not what its meant for at all.

Does the delta sounds better on the spinfit tips or the comply foam tips ?

 
That is going to depend on each individual's anatomy and preference.
