Just looked these up and they look intriguing...looks like they aren't available in the UK yet.
Are there any other IEMs that come with 4.4mm plug?
They are already available in the UK, few head-fier already have them.

Oh. I saw on hifiheadphones that it says they are available to pre-order...
I'll see if they can be found elsewhere.
Lower listening level Purk ? I couldn’t do it with Stax 009 and T2 man....had to blast my eardrums out....every timeJust get a CIEM man. It is better for your hearing anyway. Lower listening...less damage to our old(er) ears.
What do you guys think about connecting the WM1 models to external headphone amplifiers? Would that change their sound characteristics to the extent that they will become a DAP different to the one that was originally designed by the manufacturer?
It depends on how do you se it. I had an Oppo HA-2 which is a DAC+ Amplifier and there are also other manufacturers such as fiio that produce amp-only modules as well as dac + amps.What do you guys think about connecting the WM1 models to external headphone amplifiers?

If it's run through an amp, it shouldn't change characteristics of the sound, only the volume. But if it's run through a dac, then the dacs sound characteristics take over.

If you use it with a DAC/amp using the sony digital out cable, then your WM1 will only serve as a "Hard drive" and the external DAC amp implementation will decode the music - a completely different sound signature.
Using a pure amp or the amp section of the dac amp, like idid with my HA2, perhaps a slight change in sound sig, i noted my HA2 added a bit of warmth to the NWZ-A17 walkman stock sound, but perhaps there are neutral amps, i haven't used one other than hte HA2 and that was only for a short period of time
I complained to f this album of being a bit dry sounding, boy, I was wrong, balanced unleashed it's potential
