No, I hate customs because of the process involved in ....I am not saying customs are not good or something, but this this my own opinion, for my friend had  his model done three times (sent), and after 1.5 years the customs started to crack, maybe one in a million, I prefer universals...

It certainly doesn't have to be that way. I sent my impressions in and then a week after that I got my customs. The fit was nearly perfect and I was floored with the sound. I had tried a lot of universals and I really liked Westone products but when I first heard my 1964 Ears Quads, I knew I could never go back to universals. I needed a bit tighter seal later on and even though I passed the free fit time frame, they did it for  free in a week and now they sound even better. Instead of spending something like $400 on a universal, I'd rather save up a little bit more and go with a custom. I wouldn't say this for a lot of headphones but seriously the difference is HUGE.

What's the little setup in the back? FiiO E6 and iPod Nano 6G? Can't tell, to far away to see what the actual setup is.

That's exactly what it looks like
 

Yes, that's what it is.  It's connected with the L9 and a black rubber band (since the clip on the e6 is not compatible with the nano clip.

I have to take your advice, one question why the 1964 not the Miracle or.....

Very awesome. If I had the money for a new Nano, I'd rock the RSA Shadow, the Nano 6G, and the Beyerydnamic DT-1350 everywhere I go and that would probably be the rig that I use for years and years to come.

Last time I checked the 1964 offerings were the cheapest customs. 
 
I've also heard they're fantastic

Dammit I can't wait to get mine! Sweet color scheme, what's the color of the shell called? I'll be ordering mine right after new year and I'm still not entirely settled on colors and artwork

The 1964Q is literally half the price of the UM Miracle, that might have been an influence. Also, the 1964 are supposedly pretty damn good bang for your buck

I think it was called 'smoked black'.

They are my first custom so I didn't want to shell out over a thousand bucks for something that I didn't know much about. Plus, if I didn't like them, I would have lost so much trying to sell them. So that's why I didn't get either the Miracles or the JH16. Second reason is, 1964 Ears are in the US and it's so much easier and quicker to deal with them. And their prices are the real kicker. The four driver customs:  Quads : $525, JH11 : $850, UM Mage: $639. So that is why I went with the 1964 and I have not regretted my decision at all. But I am probably going to get some Unique Melody in the future or wait for the 6 driver model of 1964 Ears.
