Congratulations on 350, very very respectful!

I was wondering if you've posted impressions on the Aurisonics Rockets somewhere? I've tried searching but couldn't find any.....

Thanks, everyone! Had to skip a few to make the T20 #350, but it's an interesting IEM to be sure.

's post is great - way more detailed than mine would have been. I don't have much to add except that I too would not recommend getting an Ety for under-helmet use - with the long housings and angled strain relief they're really not the ideal shape. in addition to what soundstige recommended, I think the Aurisonics Rockets, or even a Yamaha EPH-100, would be a better choice if cable-up/ergonomic earphones aren't your thing. These IEMs isolate very well (not Ety-level, but close) and they don't stick as far out of the ear if you wear them deep enough.

Great, another phone maker enters the fray  

But but, they haven't fallen off mate. The icons are pretty special

The T20 just landed. What a great set of monitors. Digging Black Keys right now

  Awesome work Joker, to call you a contributor is really an understatement!
 
Cheers

 
Thanks, I appreciate that!
 

  Hi Joker
 
I actually found your site with realising your were on here as well. Many thanks for your reviews, on the back of your recommendations I've broadened my horizons to kit that isn't universally available in the UK.  I bought a few V-Sonics and even a JVC set and been pleased with the performance of all, especially the V-Sonic VC1000.
 
I hope you'll get chance to give us your view on the Eightball and Flare Audio IEMs at some point.
 
Thanks for all the hardwork

 
Seems the VC1000, while gone, is not forgotten!
 
I treasure mine greatly - it's one of the all-time best values in the IEM world if you ask me.

They're scattered here and there but I haven't posted the full review yet. I completed one for InnerFidelity but ran into some issues when it came time to publish.
 
Anyway, I'm still working on re-writing it for posting here.
 
I like the Rockets a lot though, and included them in my most recent buyer's guide.. twice: http://theheadphonelist.com/2015-holiday-buyers-guide-the-most-gift-worthy-earphones-for-audiophiles-and-music-lovers/

Thanks Joker! My own pair arrived extremely fast so I've already had a copuple of days with them and my impressions equals yours: Great balanced sound, excellent built and comfort in addition to the IP65 water resistance. These will most certainly see a lot of use from me.

Of course it is. It's over a thousand page's and moving towards 17,000 posts how could it not be.

If you're interested in the reviews the first post gives an excellent overview in my opinion......

What's that supposed to mean?

In my opinion I find it very rude to come in here as a new member and start to criticize one of the biggest contributions to this community......

It didn't mean anything. I just said that because as a newbie, I find it hard to back read.

they certainly look compact but they are listed as under the "durability" section
 
and seeing the abuse from I think it was a youtube video and such and from tyll's video too they look pretty sturdy
 
but my question is the lack of strain relief in the housing (there is NONE) and being that they are a straight barrel housing, they cable will most definitely angle downwards (from the weight of the cable and jack and all)
 
any concerns in regards to this area?
 
also I've seen pictures that there isn't a LIP on the nozzle/housing, and heard incidents of the eartip being lodged in the ear. =( this was one of the reasons I was hesitant on the dunu 1000s

There's also an alternative way to navigate the front page of this thread: http://theheadphonelist.com/headphone-list/ developed because it was getting too unwieldy.

They've become my sole travel IEM - very small footprint in my luggage, very high isolation (stock tips or Comply T200s), durable build, and a generally smooth and pleasant sound well-suited for all sorts of use. Plus the sensitivity is low enough that they work decently well with in-flight multimedia systems. It's like they were made for travel
