Agree Koolpep. My only issues with P1 are their weight, so I feel the need to use triple flanges to really secure them - and the cable is a wee bit over-engineered (similar to T20 but in a different way). Luckily, I like the sound with triple flanges and can live with the cable (but wouldn't mind something more supple to be completely honest).
IMHO, P1 are a really good starting point for someone looking for a mid-tier dynamic with slightly warm yet relatively neutral sound with no hot spots across the FR. It's something that can hold your attention yet not fatigue. A good IEM to keep you satisfied for awhile in your headfi journey towards TOTL IEM.
I would respectfully disagree on the M6 Pro. To me it has a deeper bass than the P1. Neither is bass light, but I find the bass on the M6 Pro to be deeper and farther reaching than the P1. I use Comply's on both for a good fit. The P1 is just fantasticly wonderful overall, while the M6 Pro is really really good, but the highs are not as tame.
I love both, and don't see myself upgrading to anything in the future. That's why we love this hobby, the sound can be completely different for two people, and neither is wrong! Cheers.
I might have missed it - what serial number does the second batch start from? I haven't had any issues yet, but I haven't been able to listen to them every day.
Wait, how can you guys have serial numbers in the 800+ and my P1 that were ordered just a week ago have serial 191, are they from the first batch suffering from connector issues?!

The P1 are hard to drive, the Sony ZX2 and P1 don't mix so i want a DAC to use with my laptop only.
i can pick one up at my local Best Buy, for $60 i cant complain if it doesn't sound the best as long as the 1.2 can drive the P1

Hey there folks! I've been following this thread for quite some time. My current main headphones are PSB M4U2 and good old Ultimate ears ue700, run from Ibasso DX50 and a LG V10 soon.
Once had a Focal Spirit Classic which had the best stage depth I've heard so far.
I'm torn choosing between the Pinnacle P1 and the Nuforce Primo 8 for soundstage and resolution.
mainly listen to tidal and 24bit flac files, mostly to indie rock, electronica, classic, some metal, some synthie stuff.
I know these iems are very different technically, being dynamic driver vs. quad ba. My gf has the Sennheiser IE8 which is dynamic as well, but I think it sounds way too muffled for my taste.
I could get really good price for both around 180/200€ each.
So at a nearly equal price point, which would be the better iem for me? I don't dislike BA-sound, having the UE700..
I prefer a rather neutral tonal balance and lots of detail. Does anyone by chance have both the Primo 8 and Pinnacle P1 and can compare them in a few sentences?
Many thanks!
I too am curious to see what other feel in regards to the primo8 and the MEE p1. I imagine for the price of the P1 you wouldn't miss too much of what the primo had to offer. Of course I do not own the primo and so can not give a comparison.
