No, I meant for some impressions, Alex

Curious how they stack up against FLC 8S, which are fantabulous!

 
Don't have FLC, but Oriveti is very resolving, detailed yet smooth, sounds very natural, excellent low end extension with a powerful slam - great mid-bass impact supported by sub-bass weight.  Bass and midrange are relatively linear and nicely balanced, with a gradual roll off in upper mids after 2k and then a little hump in upper treble to add some airiness and definition to a sound.  Unlike other 3-way hybrids, you are not going to hear an ounce of sibilance or harshness or graininess.  Their sound is not in a league of analytical level of detail retrieval or high definition airy top end.  It's definitely on a smoother and a little warmer side, but still with an excellent retrieval of details and plenty of clarity thanks to a rather well controlled bass (no spillage into mids) and smooth/organic upper mids/treble.  The combination of their sound tuning and a slick fitment just elevated these to the top of my hybrids IEMs list.

Finally, after almost 2 months (bought in Ali 11/11 sale) my new toys arrived!

 

[leobigfield]

The Fidues are for my wife, the Q1, an upgrade to the Havi's. Only that. The Havi's are that good 

 
Has anyone done the craziness of using a sibilance control tip on the B3P1? I'm using the Ostrys OS100 tips (the weakest of them) and they are by far my preferred tips. Everything seems crispier and the bass seems stronger but without loosing any quality, it even seems more textured. Only drawback is a slightly less wide stage but that Havi's has to spare. Listening to Sultans of Swing with them and the bassline gives me goosebumps

Don't let anything stop you. Pop the filters out and put them in wider bore tips. Then there are no drawbacks. Why have a drawback if you don't have to

Now there's

But that's the point... I find the OS100 better then the Sennheiser double flange 

 
My tip-rolling journey was a thought one... First the Senns would easily loose seal and fall of, so i adapted a comply trying to get the same results:
 

 
I liked this very much, equal to the Senn's Double flange but with slightly more bass. But my Ostry tips arrived and as i never seen such tip dependency before... Why not? Now i can't just use anything else with them

Love at the first listen. They are driving me crazy so the last i could do is drive them properly

@leobigfield
 
Do use any boost with the Havi?
 
I find the boost on my e12a helps flesh out the sound quite nicely - personally, I think the e12a does the bass boost the way its meant to be done.
