Yes, there are 14 drivers. But the real challenge is whether you can tell us what each one is dedicated for.

Rules of this challenge:

No checking the Empire Ears Thread

No Guessing

Do not pass go and do not collect $200

Pishaw! That's easy. Each driver is dedicated to making glorious music.

What do I win?

13 for bass and 1 for mids and low. Quite balanced sounds.

12 of them are for selling hype dedicated to those who believe and buy in, and that's how business works to make more money off addiction to the audiophile porn. The fact that there are guys who can't differentiate clean sound from colored sound is a gift to those who are selling hypes.

Anyone know how the HiFiman HM700 compares against the FiiOx3ii?

AK100Mk2 > ALO International+ Optical > UERM 
 
This is a really nice combination - the ALO is a tad warmer than the Mojo which I like with the UERM

Just got a FiiOQ1 would a FiiO e18 be much of an upgrade?

It's not that bassy. Is it? I found it not to have overpowering bass

I was just kidding. It has some boost in the bass but very well controlled.

The ER4's! I wish I still had mine. They're a special breed of monitors, though I could never wear them for extended periods with the triple flanges without discomfort.
Are those the P or S version btw?

Those are the P versions, the comfort and seal is a hit or miss for different people but it does work surprisingly well for me without feeling painful. Out of the IEMs I have tried, the Etymotic definitely has the best seal and isolation (but this is ruined by its microphonic cable).
If comfort is a problem with ER4, you could always DIY the earphone yourself by buying a pair of SE535 shells, then solder a pair of Knowles ED 29689 drivers into it and pair it up with the right dampers + 25/75 ohm resistors. That would be a compromise without Etymotic's custom tuning, but you do kinda get the best of both worlds. It has been done and sold before:
