Wow, the more I hear about the SE5, the more I think it is the perfect CIEM for me. I just noticed how you describe it as having forward vocals as well.
The only thing that puts me off is the inconsistent reviews which I had always assumed has to do with the difficulty of fitting five bores into varying shaped molds while keeping consistent sound. However, you pointed out that both of your sets sound slightly different going to the same ears so there must be some version changes as well.
My two SE5s do sound different, but I should only talk about the current one, which is obvious more important.
Apart from my old SE5, the current SE5 has the "best" SINGING vocals presentation within my CIEMs. It has most emotions, density, super layer, resolution, naturalness and smoothness. But I do know a small amount of people like very density-low, clear, thin vocals, specially for listening to female singing vocals. If you are one of them, SE5 is probably not for you because it sounds ORGANIC.
So the Harmony 8 Pro sounds like a bass monster as Tupac mentioned with all its focus there, but its mids and treble don't sound like they are getting a lot of attention. Is this a very dark sounding CIEM? Wouldn't this kill its resolution outside of a great bass resolution? How organic sounding are cymbals for example?
H8P is not a dark, but it's warm and the signature goes to your category of "colored". However H8P showed me that a CIEM doesn't have to be bright to present instruments well with super clarity, separation, accuracy and detail (including cymbals).
By the way I don't really know what is bass resolution. How resolving the bass is? hmmm hard to describe.
