hey now, how you enjoy your IEMs is your own business...My excitement builds itself while playing.

I have a wild guess, but isn't that IEM pretty beloved?
U12t is not exciting for sure.Well... I can't really tell you, my friend, as my life would be at risk for sure. Of course I can give you some secret hints as nobody would be able to find out anyway. The name would or at least could have for instance a T, a U, and perhaps a 1, a 2, or even both in it. Can't tell you more or I'd be killed by at least 64 members here, so please promise me to keep this as our secret. After all this is absolutely mean, unfair, miserly, nasty, foul, despicable, vicious, and even low-down of me. It's the nature of the beast. My number is six hundred and sixty six, for it is a human number.

Snap!Yes but so is oatmeal, corn flakes, and melba toast.

I have been eating oatmeal as breakfast since don't know when and will be likely continue to forever in the future. The story is oatmeal used to be exclusive only for horses, but after automobiles replaced horse-draw carriages, big firms such as Kellogg started to bring oatmeal to the table of human and create the delusion that oatmeal had been breakfast since ancient time. Similar story is behind the "Diamond is forever" from De Beers.Yes but so is oatmeal, corn flakes, and melba toast.
Regular weight lifter here. Oatmeal is my go-to carb for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ample health benefits, and served hot on gloomy days is the perfect pick-me-up.I have been eating oatmeal as breakfast since don't know when and will be likely continue to forever in the future.

However, for IEMs, do we have oatmeal that everyone consumes? Maybe AirPods Pro?
We have to acknowledge for someone getting their first IEM that have not listened to sound yet the way you do with IEMs it is a great choice to learn how to hear. U12T was exactly this for me and my second IEM the first one turned out to be physically painful to have in my ears so that one I could not learn from. That basic design 64 uses is quite comfortable for me, it turned out to be a set I listened to for two years before I started wanting more bass. It takes about 2 hours of listening with the U12T to sound exciting to me, it mostly stays out of the way of the music as far as I am concerned. I would still rate that set very high.U12t is not exciting for sure.
My A12t doesn't excite me anymore, but I can't seem to part with it. The fit is just too good. I should just got the N8, but I also can't seem to hit the buy button. I have had so many misses on CIEMs that I am really afraid to buy even from the same maker.We have to acknowledge for someone getting their first IEM that have not listened to sound yet the way you do with IEMs it is a great choice to learn how to hear.

But this is the answer for any sane person. At least I hope it is. Who would pay more than $50 for IEMs outside of this tiny tiny niche?
I have and still like both but after several fit related issues I won’t be adding any more CIEMs. I can warmly recommend the Nio which I sold when I got the N8 but I bought it back and it sounds even better to me.My A12t doesn't excite me anymore, but I can't seem to part with it.

Damn I see now that I missed post # 77,777 by just one post, and you are the lucky one, but you probably didn’t even notice!Yes maybe. With my SP3K, Storm was more demanding than GM.
I still hope for a CanJam Europe one day. I think it made definitely sense, given how many headphone and IEM enthusiasts live here...
Woohoo! A flaghsip paired with a flagship
Not to further enflame the streaming vs local files battle, but the chance of a zombie apocalypse is very close to nil.Absolutely this, imagine for whatever reason you suddenly can't afford that subscription your collection of play lists just dissolves or your internet connection disappeared. I get the convenience and the minimalist concept of not having to find or purchase your favourite artist/music but streaming does not float my boat I like owning my music collection and being able to listen anywhere anytime even in a zombie apocalypse lol
As ever, we all hear things differently, but I have to say "2d and incoherent" is the last way I'd ever describe Xe6. CIEM anyways.I have no real idea...but it does seem to me that way. As someone who has been a big fan of the brand for years it's long felt like they get a disporportionate amount of animus from folks in various corners of this hobby. The Xe6 is an interesting case. I've had lots of experience with it over the years but have never really connected with it on the whole. On a technical front, relative to Trifecta it's got much better articulation and detail in the upper mids and highs (which is an area people often seem fixated on when it comes to technicals), but compared to Trifecta it sounds bloated and often congested in the mids and stage-wise it feels quite 2d and incoherent in comparison. Put another way-- choose your poison but it doesn't seem fair or reasonable to me that one of these IEMs gets called out for its pricing and the other (which is $500 more, at that) does not. YMMV etc. etc.
It's not an insignificant list, and there's some major contemporary players on there. Again, though, they're not aiming to please a wide audience with an entire library. Whatever xe6 is doing is working for their music genre specifically.
Bogdan shared this in the FiR thread a few months ago, so...This year alone I saw John Mayer and her holiness Taylor Swift live and both were visibly using Frontier series IEMs so it's not hype. So you are wrong.
This is why 64Audio is often used by production, engineering etc...BAs are used for monitoring, of course, quite often.
...speaking of...I have a wild guess, but isn't that IEM pretty beloved?
Oh dear, it's the tired "A/U12t is so boring" meme again. No, it doesn't have "wow" factor and I had Zero expectation of that when I decided to go custom; besides that's what just about every other IEM on the planet is for.U12t is not exciting for sure.
A12t is the IEM I listen to when all I want to hear is the Music, not the Gear. And it's the only IEM I have that I can listen to for 12 hours+ straight with zero fatigue. Other than U6t.My A12t doesn't excite me anymore, but I can't seem to part with it. The fit is just too good.
Where are you buying the custom from?Canpur 622b
This iem has set my world on fire!
I love this set so much that it’s going to become my very first TOTL CIEM! That’s right, I’m going all in on a custom set! Keeping the original design you see above. Now the wait begins! 4 weeks can’t come soon enough!!
