I tried a fresh new pair when it first arrived at Jaben a few days ago. It has sound signature similar to Radius DDM, with a little more bass and a little less treble. It  probably requires some burn-in so it is hard to tell how good it is going to be.

That kind of housing is not one I would like to have in an earphone after experiencing the DDM the past week or so. It does look like the nozzle is shorter so might have a better fit.

The housing is almost a direct clone of Sony MDR-EX700, but with a slightly thicker center. As like the EX700, fitting should not be a big issue. It definitely fit better than DDM as I tried both at the same time.

Tried it just now at jaben. Shockingly this iem appears very similar to the sony ex series based on the housing and l/r indicator. Sounds bassy(subwooferish) similar to the cks90/ddm. However, the fit wins the ddm. Kind of reminds me of the ebs, with a cleaner feel.

how about compare it to cks70?
 
so the basic sound sig is bassy I guess?
 
and how about the isolation and leak sound? from what I know, semi IEM has bad isolation and leak a lot

It is similar to CKS70 as both are bass driven, but IMD-3 should has a lighter, thiner sound in the mid IIRC.

damn this looks very interesting. If the big driver is implemented correctly like the DDM (and unlike sony) this could really be something
