I have not found anything on which people or ET's think is the Fastest IEM in the forum, express your thoughts and opinions or don't

Fastest how?
 
What specifically are you looking for?
 
Are you familiar with any earphones already, or is this a new venture?  What are your other audio experiences, some hardware used, personal preference?

 

[jleewach]

the ones the cheetah is wearing... sorry, terrible joke.
 
The answer is Ety ER4S (imho).

 

[prone2phone]

I am speaking military wise, such as where voices are of the importants, that's all I can really answer. IEM wise I think this seems to be leading to balanced-armature as being the fastest and most accurate.

BA's are fastest.  I think the CK10's are faster than the Etys' from what I have read.  I don't know why you think you need super speedy armatures for voices.  
 
As someone who was in the military I have no idea what you mean by military wise for IEM's.  Are you talking about communication?  As in radio comm?  If so any earphone will work.  You would want high isolation or ambient leak through depending on the environment or mission.

Sounds like the PFE`s to me, amazing vocal and definition but that`s about it imo, bass light and cannot be driven as hard through an amp as others.

 

[mvw2]

By military wise, I assume durability is also important?
 
How good or bad is isolation?
 
How well will they have to stay in the ear?  (sitting at a desk or running around?)
 
What is the budget?

Amps sound heavy to me, IEM that don't need an amp?

unbreakable maybe, sooner it not be metal, Perfect isolation, High movements in some situation, buget cheap and effective.
 
 
 
Ok thank you everybody for the help.

Does anybody have an opinion of mylar against balanced armature, speed accuracy. I'm kinda interested as to why Mr Wilson picked Mylar.

I'm assuming that the CK10's would be some of the fastest IEM's on the market today. I have their odd cousin the CK90 Pros, and while they are very punchy with the bass they are so fast that they actually have not enough decay to sound natural on any instruments that are naturally sonerous - ie cellos or piano.

This is true for all three Audio-Technica IEMs. I would say the CK90Pro and CK10 are equally fast and the CK100 is not far behind. The CK10/CK90Pro are the fastest earphones I've personally tried.

 

[kanonathena]

anyone can tell me what fast mean? super high resolution?

In a fast passage with many notes the articulation and space between the notes is easily distinguished without blurring itself together.

You should really check out this guy's massive thread, you'll find all the info on IEM's you'll ever need.
