After I got my Phonak Audeo Perfect Bass Earphones I was so pleased by sound, comfort & build  quality I wrote Phonak a Thank You Email. Here is the email below:

 Dear Phonak,

I bought your Phonak Audeo Perfect Bass Earphones and i'm extremely pleased.

The sound quality is outstanding. The sound is pure & crystal clear. The build quality is very good.

I hope Phonaks bring more great earphones to the market.

Thank You for bring an affordable and great sounding, well built product to the market.

I will continue to support Phonak.

Thank You Very Much,
N. Bassit
 

 
A week later I got an email from Phonak and here it is below:

Looks interesting. Shame they didn't include any pictures though.

For that matter, I'm curious about pricing. Maybe in the mid $200 range? Considering how well the PFE holds up against the competition with just 1 driver, this new IEM sounds very interesting indeed.

For me, I think that saying, "I can't wait." would be an understatement.

I've been very satisfied with my pfe 112 experience and the efforts phonak made to solve the issues the originals had. I've been a customer from the beginning and they have been nothing but professional every time I've contacted them. I currently only have two quality earphones, the pfes and the tf10s. The pfe 112 V1 I have now are fantastic. They sound good, are lightweight, durable and fit my ears super comfortable. I've considered purchasing the perfect bass versions because that all black look they've got is pretty sleek looking. However, I've been hesitant to purchase any other earphone because I'm satisfied with the combo of earphones I have now and I also hoped that phonak would come out with a multi-armature set.
 
I'm absolutely elated to hear this news coming from an official source. I suppose I have no choice but to wait for more info, details, specs, pricepoints, etc. I'm expecting a home run with these, and based on my experience with phonak, the chances of being disappointed are slim. The one thing I would hope for these besides superb comfort, sound, durability, value, etc. of course would be an understated, minimalist and professional look. Something not too far from phonak's current earphones. Making them all bling blingy and shiny with chrome and what not I think would be a disaster. I know it would seem out of character for phonak to do such a thing, but you never know.

I never had a multi armature earphone so this will be my first ever.

Seriously excited for this.  The Phonak PFE's are easily my favorite IEM's.  Awesome price and awesome performance.  Hopefully these can kick it up a notch while keeping the pricing just as competitive.

Looks really interesting. I hope they keep their word and release it at spring. Waiting for a product to release is a torture.

I'm very interested as well. I have never tried a B.A. IEM and was very interested in trying this companies current offerings, but now I will probably wait for these new ones to come out and get reviewed first.

Yes I agree it might be around $250. I started saving up.

Same for me, and just as you I'm very very happy with my PFE PB. So I guess I have too start saving also. Hopefully the dual BA is so good that I go from

The only thing that could be better is the amount of dealers in The Netherlands, my earguides are still in backorder.

That doesn't give any information at all. Oliver isn't telling you anything, just that he thinks his products are great.
