OK.  I'm sure it is an extra cost.  If you look at what you're getting (essentially jewelry), the cost is justified.

 
I'm just personally hoping for something like customizable carbon fiber, brushed titanium/aluminum at a justifiable cost like 50-75.

I've been trying to explain it to the others....I'm glad some are understanding it.

  Indeed, let's stop talking about the damn costs and throw caution into the wind.
 
After all, the informal greeting of Head-Fi is an apology for your wallet

Very much agreed......sorry for your wallet.

The AS 2 Black Rhodium plate look so stealth like..........

Kenman345, have you demo any of the Heir Audio's IEM? If you did, how does it compare to Aurisonics's IEM?

 

[kenman345]

Have not yet done so, not entirely sure if I will. If I get the opportunity though I definitely will take it and post up some impressions.

I hope you do get a chance to check them out if someone have them that is local to you. Both Heir Audio 4.A and 4.Ai is also design with neutral in mind.

 

[kenman345]

I thought all Heir Audio IEM's were tuned for a neutral response....Anyways, their is something to note, Since owning the AS-2's I have not really felt curious to hear anything else besides maybe future Aurisonics products, which Dale has yet to let me in on any or if I'll be able to hear them before others. Listening to the Heir Audio 4.Ai would be more for giving comparisons than for my own curiosity

If they all were, it'd be no fun  They most certainly aren't though.  Heir says this themselves on their site and on Head-Fi.  The 4s are neutral, the 3s are more fun (bass-heavy signature).  From what I've read about the 3s so far, it sounds like they are a more boomy version of the ASG-1.  Won't know for sure until I can get my hands on them though.  
 
I'm still uncertain about the AS(G)-2 sound right now though.  Out of everything I've read, I still have no clue what they sound like in a general format (analytical, V-shape, neutral, etc.).  I have a feeling they have a slight V, but then again, I feel like they don't.  

 

[kenman345]

Neutral, analytical, warm....I think those are the key words you wanted. What you mean slight v-shape? They are extremely fun in the sense that they make music sound great and i love walking around dancing to the music with them on. That's fun to me

There was absolutely NOTHING v-shaped about the AS-2 prototype I heard.  If anything, it was slightly mid forward.  It was definitely on the neutral, slightly warm side of things.
