[freeone-j]

Have anyone in the community heard of this Company (HERE)?

3 driver custom iem at $189??????

Woah!

 

[aych]

sometimes makes you wonder why some companies like UE can sell their IEM's at 1000+ while others can sell them ~200.

 

[intoflatlines]

Sounds very intriguing..

The CEO's last name is "Boring".

Yeah. Even though UE may have access to customised, non-standard specification Knowles armatures, they still charge a massive premium for what is really quite a cheap item. Oh well, the huge price price tag comes with superior brand recognition, customisation and customer pride.

Hmmm, their customisation options don't look too broad, and from the look of the images, the cables do not detach from the IEM's.

Will be very interesting to see what they sound like. If the news is good there might be a new contender for my graduation present to myself this summer

 

[epaludo]

This is really tempting. Just wondering if anyone have ever listen to them and can state how do this little babies sounds ... ?

 

[Akathisia]

Wow, those price points are really attractive. I wonder how the single armature designs sound at only $89.

 

[flargosa]

Is this the new IEM manufacturer people where talking about at Dr. Xin's site?

Yeah, until you listen to them.

I just got off the phone with the company that manufactures the Freqs. The owner is off for the holidays but they gave me his email to ask about whether the cable is detachable or not. The lady I spoke with said she believes it does detach from the IEM.

When you order a set of Freqs they send you a fit kit with a compound to make your own impressions (it's a 2 part compound that you mix, and they give you 2 'doses' in case you mess up the first). Or you can go to a hearing aid center and get impressions for $25. They are originally a hearing aid company, and so they are partnered with these hearing aid places.

I'll let you guys know what kind of response I get from the owner.

How can you share custom with your partner like this?
One earpiece molded for each?

 

[Tipped_Pro95]

This sounds to good to be true.

Good point.

 

[milkpowder]

It all looks great apart from one thing: the cable. It looks very much like the iBud one and a pretty frail one at that.

Haha! It's all a con!
