Hey guys, I've been looking into buying the Merlin and I noticed that there was a huge price bump of about $200. Is it really worth it at $1150? Also what are the differences between merlin v1 and v2?

Are you looking for the custom or the universal?  I may sell my universals shortly.  They are quite new....  Feel free to pm me if you are interested,

I was able to try this out last time at Canjam..V2 sounds livelier for me, it's got more dynamics and clarity and impact.

Although I love my Merlin, I wouldn't by it again for over 1k (don't remember now, but I think I got them for 750$ when they were released) - the choice under 1k is simply too big. I would consider 64 Audio and their U8 (I'm guessing you like bass, as you are looking at the Merlin).

So true, I am glad that iems are bucking the trend of the dap with crazy pricing. I just picked up the IT03 for only $250.000 with a sound that matches 1k or even 2k level iems.

was planning on going for a CIEM but the u8 just seems so appealing with their ADEL technology. Has anyone here tried both the u8 and the merlin?

You caught mine attention here <gone to the it03 thread>

With the frequency of new IEMs arriving on the market, things become old very quickly. Question is if any of the new stuff are significantly better
 
I haven't really been head-fiing much in the past year and a half, got caught up with other things. I did read some stuff about newer IEMs (Campfire Audio, Empire Ears) that are intriguing, but I wonder if they would be able to "blow away" the Merlins so easily.
 
Crystal clear, delicious sub bass, great seperation with a spotlight on the vocals.

Amen to that. Since I have my Merlins (preorder) I tried several other IEMs, but none came even close. Yes, there were better in bass department (Velvet, ASG-2.5), but in the rest of the spectrum Merlins won every time hands down. Only the big dudes Audeze LCD-2F were better overall, but that's a totally different kind of monster

What IEMs have you heard?
