*New 2015* Signature Acoustics O-16 Live Review : Setting the Stage

[EISENbricher]

So do I

I'm always intrigued by new (relatively) companies entering the iem/headphone market so I'm hoping this will be some nice offerings. The O-16 looks pretty amazing.

How are you going to get it though... I don't think they are offering int'l shipping?

They are shipping internationally, I confirmed with the shop owner on phone or you can buy on ebay.

  nicee, need to check these out!

Definitely worth an audition and perhaps more.
They do have a 10-15 day loaner program (India)

Or I guess you could head down to their Navi-Mumbai office(check with them)

  Looks as if I'll be recieving the O-16 and C-12 pretty soon. Your review have got me really curious about them, great work 

Looking forward to your impressions peter. With your wealth of experience it will be interesting to see where you position them on value and SQ.

Thanks for the support. Unfortunatley my "wealth of experience" couldn't help the package being held up in custom so need to find a solution for that

Early impressions?

  Early impressions? 

Yes and unfortunately not very good ones. Let me just say that for the price I can think of quite a few better options. I really wanted to like these but they do not offer offer a good value in my opinion. I think that's all I'm going to say about them.

Completely understandable. That's how this hobby works. It's the consensus of impressions that benefits the users. Please don't refrain from sharing your opinion (as objective as possible though

)

 
Were you able to try different types of music? Because, I've noticed that quite a few albums don't gel with the O16's presentation.
The Titan 1 (different sig), handles space very well with it's semi-open design. I think the O16 has a well tuned driver and needs a housing redesign.
