[lin0003]

Haha will try for sure when it actually comes out. They are still changing the sound.

Wonder what the pricing will be... they look pretty expensive to me.

Quote from PhileWeb:

 さらに、iBassoのチーフエンジニアが開発したというイヤホンも参考展示。こちらは「Oriolus」（仮称）という新たなブランドからの発売となる 予定で、BAを3基とダイナミック1基の計4基というドライバー構成を採用。ヘッドホンアンプやミュージックプレーヤーなどの開発時のモニタリング用とし て設計したという。「詳細は未定で、価格も為替がどうなるのか不透明なのでなんとも言えないが『800米ドルくらいで発売したい』とは言われている」との ことだった。

I read somewhere that it's still in early alpha stages.

Woah. They're probably watching us so I'm gonna say that's too much
Wonder how they do against the SE846.

At 800 ish they are competing with the CHEAPER ASG 2.5 no?

At that price I will never be interested... I hope in something more affordable..

I'm with you on this , it's their first attempt at an IEM, if it really is $800 I'm not keen. Maybe they got wind of JH new inflated pricing. :/

Yea... and to be honest for more than 500€ I would go directly with a CIEM... or better with a LCD 2.2 or something like that.

It's probably not really iBasso making these IEMs; it's likely some Chinese CIEM maker contracted to develop IEMs for the Oriolus banner, and merely "voiced" by iBasso.
