MagicOne has been the only aesthetically pleasing Aful imo. The prototype Cantor looked way cleaner.

I am extremely over blue IEMs. Minus the sza shhh bby I didn’t mean it
I dig the blacks. I do wish the P8 was a bit more different than the P5. They are different but not as drastically as I'd like them to be. I'm a big stan of the white and yellow faceplates that they teased for the Cantor in September. Man Cantor has been in development almost as long as Red or Dusk.

Why are you selling it?
It's always a question of money and lack of usage time in the end, isn't it?

I feel like this is a good place for a review of an IEM that is tough to find! The Icelabs Prismatica. I got it at canjam for about $1299 USD and it's a wonderful set!DSC02667.jpeg
This looks very special. Never heard of the brand before, let me read your wall of text.

When is it launching
What price?
No idea. If I hear anything I'll post in this thread asap. But there was talk of it being soon.

First half of this year is what they stated. So maybe in the next 3 months or so?

Yes, if you have too many IEMs and some of them don't get used.

Is it possible the blue IEM is actually the hybrid and not Cantor?…

I only have four staple ones and a few cheapies to go along ... Now you're making me question once more what to do with the Butastur. It's currently in my ears and it's definitely good great and different to the rest.

I don't think so. They announced it as their final design on Facebook for the Cantor. I'm not sure if they've formally announced anything about the 1DD +2BA. I got a facebook pm about a month ago on it. It'll be interesting to see what releases first. My guess is Cantor then soon after 2 BA + DD. But your guess is as good as mine.

You have answered yourself!

Keep it!

Here's the first official image and details of FiiO's upcoming FD15 (1DD) IEM. It will be available to demo at CanJam Singapore.

If I'm reading the info right, it looks like it will use a brand new driver that will be similar to DUNU's Eclipse driver design!

As a huge FD5 fan, I'm really looking forward to hearing these ASAP! :ksc75smile:

Hmmm...so I should skip FD7 and wait for FD15??? Loooking nice :)

I'd say yes.

I personally preferred the tuning of the FD5 over the FD7, and if FiiO's original expected price for the FD15 (approx. $140) is still accurate, the FD15 could turn out to be an absolutely insane bargain!

Wait a minute...that means that they are great now...or not so much? Hmm



:scream: :scream: :scream:

Don't know. Maybe they had a recent tuning breakthrough! :sweat_smile:
As always, the only way to know for sure is to hear them for yourself. :nerd:
