Hey y'all,
I received a nice invitation today from RHA to check out their latest IEM at IFA 2014 this year. Check it out:
It's going to be called the T10i. Following their naming convention, the "i" is probably for the iOS-control version... so presumably there may be a T10 without the controls.
I know it's hard to see from the pic above - due in part to my crap phone, but also because the invite card is dark and vague - but I can glean some details right away. It appears to be an over-ear design, using a goosenecked cable guide that meets the earpiece in a plastic or rubberized strain relief. The shell seems to be metal, an "unfinished" metal. And behind that "vortex" nozzle aperture, there is a steel mesh grille.
Gotta say, I'm pretty excited about these. I've been tracking RHA for years now, and their IEMs just keep getting better and better and better (I'm with you on this one Tyll).
If that trend of progression holds true, we might be looking at a balanced and detailed IEM at a very reasonable price.
Unfortunately, there are no review units available at the moment, but I'll be trying to get an audition as soon as one is available. If anyone here is going to IFA this year, and has a chance to check them out, please post some impressions here. In the meantime, I'll try to find out whatever I can and posting it here.
The announcement is out! http://www.head-fi.org/t/732332/introducing-the-t10i-an-all-new-iem-from-rha
