Thought this design feature was nice. Should allow for someone with off kilter symmetry for ears to adjust the fit? Someone just the other day mentioned that to me  regarding a fixed non swivelling set and this issue.
Pic from the Panasonic promo pack at their site.

 
Drooling over these things. Need help.
 
Lots more reviews kicking around now, not much but some. all seem very good. From what I can tell no rolled out highs, overall neutralish type signature with quality slightly emphasized bass.
Have a look around and see what you can figure out too please.
 
Great review. It IS a 201 layer diaphragm membrane... :O
 
 
 
I heard mention somewhere in a review about non removable pads but so far this is hearsay until one of us gets a hold of one, even then  the HM5 ones might do it. Non removeable is always cleanly removable some way.
 
Oh nooooo I read it.  There is an interesting reference to the Beyer T90 in there. .
 
whats that feeling on my mouse finger, did I just get bit or somethin???? it's rather....itchy.
What the Sony should have been?  but no way to tell unless I get them in my hands.

you mean the Audio Technica MSR7 or whatever it is? I saw that compared ( or along  ) with this also in some reviews.
 
Sorry wayne

, worse for me because I typed and read and imprinted the stuff in my mind now. Does that make it easier for you knowing I suffer more???

 I like the fact one poster ( Capt.Blackbird ) returned a new Ultrasone 840 and then called the Panasonic "the surprise of the year "
Their impressions are awesome.
 
Ok last pic and comment for the night here.

Yes you nonchalant person, lol.

Surprised you barely cared about the audiotechnica

Just picked up the Hisoundaudio Nova N1 on a super deal. Last one. Sub $100. This off the piggy back of selling my X1. Overall the X1 was a awesome sounding DAP (EXCEPT the horrible bass response). I read nothing but good things about the N1, and here's hoping the bass is better? So my set up will be leaning towards the Rain 2/A71 + N1 + E11k as my main portable rig. My Sony as a 320 MP3 back up.

Ok, first @nick n gets me re-lusting over the those Panasonic RP-HD10's, and then he gets me lusting over the RockJaw's Alfa Genus iems...

(nice review by @Brooko btw)
 
I was a bit concerned about them though because I know that brooko likes brighter sounding gear than I do, but he said this in his review:
 
The only caution I would suggest with these is that if you are treble sensitive, it may pay to consider something a little darker in nature.  Grado, Beyer or AKG lovers may find them ideal though.
 
The addition of the new champagne filters has really made these into an IEM for everyone, and I simply cannot think of another IEM at this point that offers even close to a similar amount of tunability and versatility.  I would definitely recommend these to anyone - they are quite simply a steal at this price point, and should make any reviewers 'wall of fame'.

 
Sounds pretty good! And they can be had for something like $50. Hmm

The HD10s are relatively cheap so I might pick them up from kakaku. As opposed to the Fidelio X2, which I am look at a 33% premium for a local pair on top of the $300 retail pricing. :|

Sorry, its like looking at a functional industrial art piece.

Have to pick and choose the battles in here. So much stuff, so little time, 2 ears, and instinct is kicking in badly.  Might be nearing the zero point with so much coming out lately. Especially in the iem world.
AT puts out so much stuff it's hard to keep up. Also not experienced with AT beyond some amazing electrets or trial with the amazing CKS1000.

For all you prog rock fans out there, I found Steve Hackett's "Genesis Revisited: Live at The Royal Albert Hall" concert on spotify. Wow - amazing.
 
Steve Hackett was the lead guitarist of Genesis in it's early days. Here's some excerpts from the concert, but if you love Genesis or would like to get introduced to them, I would strongly recommend "Genesis Revisited: Live at The Royal Albert Hall":
 

 
And just to keep this on topic, I'm sure it would sound awesome off of some of the recent discoveries here lol.
