Just pluged Merlin into Studio-V ...my GOD! audio-nirvana and even hiss isn't much of an issue with Merlin's low imped. I just don't want to stop listening to it.

You should try it to the RoCoo BA.

What a relief for you - glad the fit and sound is spot on this time.  Lucky they weren't damaged in transit tho - bit careless of UM? Any chance of a close up photo of the artwork 

 
A few from this morning, NOT shot with my phone this time

Well there's a spot for it in the buy & sell section?
 
Just kidding - but the DX100 wipes the floor with most portable amps, including the D12...

I think my Merlins are growing on me. At first listen they sounded just very good after few days really very good, now... I'm just amazed with the sound. I love presentation of Merlins - real sense of space and great coherency with dynamic driver which is quite surprising given my recent "affair" with m-audio IE20xb aka. super.fi5EB

Hello everyone!
 
So I've been kind of a long time lurker here, been trying to figure out what kind of custom IEMs I want. Basically I'm a drummer, so I'd like a bit of extra bass to feel the music, which makes these seem ideal.
 
I'm just concerned about the loss of isolation from the vent. Can anyone offer any reassurance in this regard? Anyone used them in loud environments (noisier than a train-type environment)?
 
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
 
Cheers

There is no loss of isolation due to the vent. If you have a good seal, you get the full -25dB.

"No loss" is a littile overstatement. I'd call it a very slight loss. However with music on you don't hear any ambient noise

Does the vent in any way lower the limit of how loud you'd be able to play before annoying those around you in a quiet environment?
