hi
looking for a half-in-ear design
i prefer neutral or mid/warm/sweet signature.
 if it's bright , analytical or even balanced it's also ok. just no bassy
the only options i found till now are the new pg100 and brainwavz beta (v2) but there're no much reviews (if any).
any advice is appreciated , thnx
 
(the audio techina ckm99 look great but cant afford them

)

Depending on your budget, you could consider the Phiaton PS 210 or MEElec CW31. I think both are a sizable step up from the PG100.

 the ps210 are definetly out of my budget.
the cw31 , better. does that pointy back part of the housing touches the back of the ear?

No, not really - the housings are very short and taper quickly.

ops, i missed another "9"
So i'm wondering whether there is any fake ath ckm99 or not since i found i seller in japan sells them at the price of  ~90$ while the other sell them for around 135$.

Haven't seen any reports of counterfeit CKM99s. It's still a relatively new model and I don't believe any of Audio-Technica's titanium flagships have been counterfeited.

I haven't heard about them myself either, but they are made in China unlike the CK10/100. This kind of raises the probability of possible counterfeit issues, it's kind of unlikely, but still be wary.

I wonder when will the Triple.Fi 10's review be finished? BTW, are there any perfect IEMs for METAL/ROCK to recommand?

I might nominate the HJE900 and GR07 for rock and metal.  As long as it's not super fast to the point you need a BA.

What about the FX700, Anax? Do you think those would be good for this genre? Also, I would have thought the GR07 wouldnt be lively enough for rock / metal. I have yet to hear it tho, just going by what ppl are saying.
 
 
On a personal aside, out of all the universal I own and have heard, the SM3s sound perfect for rock / metal. Again, thats just me.

I've learned that GR07 has a so flat sound that makes it versatile for all genres. I doubt its bass could  be enough to rock up.

GR07 has really good deep bass for rock/metal, as well as a great distortion guitar crunch.

The GR07 has ample bass for all genres IMO. I wouldn't assume otherwise, unless one hears it that way.

I hear it this way as well.
 
I quite like the e-Q7, too. I don't need huge, booming bass to enjoy rock/metal and the highly textured and slightly warm sound of the Ortofons works well IMO. However, I still maintain that signature preferences take precedence over genre choice. What some might love with metal, others may hate.
