My fiance is typically more critical about the sound of the things that go into our house than I am and when given the Trifecta to try all I got was a grimace before the first song ended. For better for worse—usually for worse in my case—my fiance is pretty good about guessing the price of things (generally within $500ish, barring the Susvara which was a couple thousand off) but my Trifecta’s sound and pretty severe bubbling in the housing got a price estimate of $100, most of which was because the cable felt expensive.
Women tend to value things more correctly then men. Especially if its purpose is for leisure and not needs, oops.

Also, women by default hear better than men, this goes way back to our engineering for survival in nature but I’ve seen it first hand many times when I used to sell stereos. The husband would come in to buy speakers, then the wife would catch all the subtleties in sound and husband would be amused, also often getting her engaged and actually having fun (especially the rubbing it in his face part lol).

In the end the main difference is treble sensitivity, and a woman can hone in on pitch more correctly. I can imagine Trifecta being a challenge to decipher :)

You can send them my way if you want to get rid of the evidence from her :)

These are just incredible looking, I really don’t need it but I really do want it…

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.

How much of that is the signature and how much is that the Apex modules you reckon? :)

Seems to be a lot more now ; 64 Audio Apex, Fir Audio Atom, Fatfreq Noah, Inearz Adel

Innperson the looks are quite astonishing and the build is superb.

Even the storage case is functional and really protect the M.

Would have liked the Trifecta's to have a good storage case. The leather punch is fine but just concern on protecting them further as I will not use the main box.

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!!
woa stunning pic! Do share your thoughts of CIEM vs IEM version especially with the perfected BCD effect!

A combination of both for sure, along with the perfect fit of the CIEM.

Again, what many consider to be a "boring" tuning has the flipside of being something that is also totally non-fatiguing. For me at least anyway.

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.

Good one 😂

I recalled project m having a great musical tuning. Just a little sibilant! Maybe the one I tried wasn't burned in enough uh

Top comment says most of what's important to know about this kind of device.
Actually his response works for everything in audio as well. All discussions about stage positioning, imaging and so on are based on the same principle this guy mention there… the notion of position the producer wants.
