Ok folks here is our thread to discuss the new Crimson IEM, I own launch edition #11. Having heard these at CanJam London I knew I had to grab a set of these. I already own the 64 Audio U12t and the Sony M9. Previously in my stable were IEMs like the JH 13, 16 and Lola as well as the FIR M5, Sony Z1R amongst others.
At CanJam London I was able to audition well over 30 IEMs with about a dozen on my target list for potential next purchase. While many would disagree I think the $2k (USD) mark is the sweet spot and above which gains are somewhat minimal. My one major exception would be the Subtonic Storm. Interestingly I did audition the Crimson directly after spending about 20 minutes with the Storm. What was a revelation was while not up to the lofty heights of the Storm the Crimson had significant amounts of the core sonic traits of the Storm (IMO). This led me to take a leap on the purchase of a unit right there at the show.
While not ready to write a full review, my initial post purchase impressions are overwhelmingly positive. Attributes the Crimson displays immediately are absolutely clean sonics with separation I've not heard (save the storm and a few kilo buck IEMs) with absolute tonal accuracy. Starting this thread as a place for the 30 Launch Edition Owners and beyond to post their thoughts as well as a place for prospective owners to ask questions.
