I hope you tried the P1 with comply, good seal and deep insert, they are very sensitive to placement

I had a good fit and seal and found them bland. But some iems need time to appreciate.

Almost forgot to post some pictures of the ProPhile 

 
Keep in mind that they a pre-production unit we were invited to review a few weeks before the official launch.
@mksilent already linked our German review at the first side of this thread. In addition I have to say that I really enjoyed testing the ProPhile for a day. It really is the flagship it is supposed to be. I'm a little surprised though that nearly everybody seems to like the understatement look - I thought many would find it to subtle for a flagship IEM.

This iem interests me greatly having owned the sd2 a long time ago..Knowing how great the fit is,it would sure be nice if customers were given the option to customize the shells as with ciems... I know they eventually offered some wooden faceplates on their other iems..so perhaps its something InEar might explore down the line...

 
It sure is pricey though!! so will hopefully get some feedback from buyers on here once released...

Dimitri has a good offer on these with Whiplash cables. My finger is on the trigger.

Did you hear it, what were your impressions?

No but a few impressions from people I trust are tempting me. Also I really love the fit in their products.

That's a very good dollar price. Next splurge on the early mid life crisis eh?

Pretty big decisions on next big purchase. I have a spare brand new whiplash cable that I can use for the Pro 8, so this is great. I do have an SD4s. Hopefully there is a big difference

But I had on my list the Westone W80 which should be a similar cost play with the exception that on the build the Westone shells are always small and a joy to use (Never bought the W60 because I had the W50).

And then was looking at one proven option like Fitear334 or a super new one like the recently announced new Oriolus

Trying to weigh my options

The W80 is apparently in the same vein as the W60 which was seriously underwhelming so pass for me. The new Oriolus, if you mean the 10ba, it won't be out for a while. Plus it will never be as comfortable as the Prophile. The 334, I never liked the very slow decaying bass, prefer tighter bass.

The only thing that is holding me back on the P8 is that I have the SD4s and just don't know if I am going to see a radical jump on signature. For example SD2 to SD4s was almost not noticeable

Right now I spend a lot of time between the HUM Pristine ( I bought from you) and the UM Martian's

 

[fb24601]

sd2 to sd4 difference is huge on bass, unless the track you trial has little of it

Indeed if I had the 4, wouldn't buy the 8.

 

[fb24601]

I only wonder if it is as easy to drive as sd4 (with mobile phone) before buying it

 

[fb24601]

If Prophile 8 canot be driven satisfactorily as sd4 I'd rather keep the latter.

 

[Fiberoptix]

I found the 8 to drive sufficiently through my phone playing Spotify - Enough to appreciate its qualities. The only other test was with Marcos X7 (not sure which amp) and his selection of what I can assume was high res music was exceptional.
