Hi
I'd like to start discussion about implementations of the Sonion Balanced Armature drivers
It should be especially worth for people who love sweet and detail vocals, since all known to me Sonion's tuned BA (also proprietary/custom ones) are very natural and musical, without losing resolution specific for BAs
Shure SE535, SE846
Klipsch X12i, X20i
Final Audio Heaven
Sonion BA drivers are of course also often used in CIEMs, like The CustomArt line, where there's also much focus on musicality
In my opinion what is currently lacking in the market is some reasonably priced, affordable IEMs using Sonions, delivering sweet vocals and musicality for everyone

According to Sonion's description on their website these look like potential candidates to make a great musical hybrid earphones:
2356 - "Very pleasant sounding full range driver. Great balance and everyone loves it"
26A005 - "Lean full range, colored frequency response like a tube amplifier"
23x47/8 - "Warm sounding full range driver. Sounds like a ported bookshelf speaker"

(Disclaimer: I'm not in any way affiliated or related with Sonion or any earphone producer/maker, just an audio enthusiast looking for a dream perfect IEMs. All above informations are publicly available on the net/Youtube)

Yes, but this must cost crazy :wink:
I thought about some Hybrid earphones (Dynamic and Balanced Armature), like the FiiO FH1 or Xiaomi Hybrid, but with Sonion BA drivers
