Mee audio pinnacle p1. Definaetly worth checking out.
to sum it up, pfe has elevated mids and they have the best fitting. The P1 is more technical in details retrieval but is slower in reponse compared to the pfe. Having both iems atm, I would pick pfe for daily use due to its fantastic fitting and P1 when I want to have some serious listening.Just been comparing my pfe's with grey filter to the P1's and can say that dip makes the P1's less fatiguing without sacrificing detail. The pfe's are rather thin and the treble can be a bit fatiguing. The P1's are fuller from bass through to mids, makes the pfe's sound thin in comparison. But think the pfe's have better mid range clarity.
If you really like the pfe's might as well get another pair, am sure you'll be able to find some.

yes having tried almost all the iems in the market, the pfe definitely has the best fitting.yeah that sounds about right. Had not used my pfe's in a ages, forgot how good comfy they are and how good they sound. They are a bit too bass light for my tastes tho.
price to performance ratio is goodNot only that the PFEs (grey filters) has the best fitting, it has the best sound quality in that price bracket. To me, it sounds best with the Comply T130 tips which smooths out the treble peaks without sacrificing high frequency details. The T130 tips also brings out a little more bass frequencies if you're brave enough to attempt deep insertion. And ooh....the fast percussive transient attack of the PFEs are just remarkable for it's price. I still haven't found any IEMs that sound as detailed and tight as the PFEs.
i disagree. The flux lacks finesse and the bass from a dynamic driver muddles how the iem is retrieveing details. It can replace budget iems but definitely not the pfe. Very different sonic performance.Steelseries In Ear Flux Pro. Not a likely source for a good IEM (they make computer gaming stuff). But this is a very good IEM, hard to find now but still can be found. Very similar in form to the PFE, single balanced armature driver as well. It sounds a lot like the PFE with grey filter (slightly elevated upper mids, good treble extension) but has a bit better bass. I find it even more comfortable than the PFE, and that's saying something. It had a good review on Innerfidelity.com, which is where I heard of it. At that time it was available on Amazon for about $90. The "non-Pro" model is a completely different design and uses a dynamic driver. The In Ear Flex Pro is about as close to the PFE as you can get in sound and form both, IMO. Not widely known and definitely not much prestige but a good all-arounder that is super comfortable and sounds great for the price.

Cheers.
ah icic. Yeap thats trueAs stated the Flux PRO, not Flux, is a balanced armature driver, not dynamic. The Flux Pro may not equal the PFE sonically but it is a very good IEM and follows the PFE form factor and comfort, and has a similar signature. Pretty hard to match the PFE in form and sound at a similar price, but this is a good alternative.
