Just a quick question, i don't see any options for faceplates when ordering...(Solar), do you have to specify it under the comments? 


 

ask solarsammy

For faceplates, you can contact Sammy via their official facebook page for the choices, as for custom logos he charges a small fee for them.

Bummer
 
Guess will have to wait for some kind of sale.

Sammy seems concerned about the increase in cost for drivers so he said he's not sure he could lower the price in the future. Yes real bummer

I am half tempted to pull the trigger right now but it wouldn't be the most sensible thing to do. I just got myself the W500 LOL.

W500 really? Have you got it on hand or just ordered it?

I have it on hand (and in my ears) already. But I also got poisoned by the impressions and reviews on Solar so much that I am seriously contemplating putting down an order before the price increases. Sigh, this hobby!

Go for solar

Well, I had the W500 also on my radar at some point because of it's #2 ranking and review in FFAB.
But after I read @flinkenicks review on it and saw him selling his one just after a few weeks I lost interest in it myself.
Of course as mentioned before, at this pricepoint there are no bad iems. It's mainly about preferences, so one might prefer the W500 over the Solar as well

Maybe the w500 might sound kind of similar in signature to the solar. Just taking a guess here cause it seems both have strong bass and a warm/smooth sound. I could be wrong. If your looking for something to compliment the w500 but different, maybe something like an nt6? Not trying to discourage you on buying solar just my opinion.
