Does putting the IEM for one song count as having heard the IEM? 10 hours?

Personally, I find that some IEMs (like the XE6) take extended sessions to learn the full gestalt of it.

Next up: Which IEMs have you shared the bed with?

Hmm, good point. A few of mine were checked off based on CanJam listening just last week which is the very definition of a fly-by listen, so there’s that.

Survey question: How many of the above 68 IEMs have you heard? 43 for me...so ~2/3 of them.

It’s 29 for me, but I reckon that number’s about to get a lot higher over the next couple days.

That is very true. All of the ones I listen to are for extended periods, as I have no way to audition.... anything where I live.

All of them (that didn't prevent me from "side-sleeping"; iBasso IT-07 being one example, even though it isn't on the list).

 

[gryphonos]

Could it be that there is much more commercial pressure in Asia because there's many more big brands around, which may lead to a rather excessive tuning to quickly outshine other competitors during a short comparison? We all know that will be counter productive in the long term but then the commercial damage is done. The US and Europe having smaller markets with possibly a larger percentage of "critical listeners" would mean they have to focus on a more modest tuning (which in these lands is often seen as higher quality) to survive in their own regions. Adding the 2 together then it suddenly would make sense; at least from a commercial point of view.

That sounds like a worthwhile theory, taking into account the commercial forces and pressure in Asia and the different situation in western market.
Good idea!

With Sony being a true worldwide brand bucking the trend? Would make some sense at least.

I have heard 15 from these 68 iem. Mainly iem from friends I had the opportunity to listen to, the remaining I have acquired myself.
The European IEM desert caused some blind purchases.
