Mostly I'd love to be proven wrong on the design and feel of the IEMs - I never stipulated the sound performance wasn't up there (whether it's for me is an entirely different question). If they look and feel disproportionately better than what I've seen from photos, I'd be more than happy to keep the set and even turn it into my daily monitor. I'm currently down to a shabby 4 IEMs, of which I basically do not listen to 2 (Elysium and Jolene)
The A12t and A18S are also stupid similar, so I'm kinda down to 1 IEM...
Just typing this is making me depressed, I need to text Vision Ears about the EXT lol
