Edited-- my bad not to use search function first.
I'll look forward in this drop. Let's see.

I just got home and briefly tried the EIxx, so far my initial impression is that it's v-shaped with bass that has good sub-bass extension (that was definitely lacking in my Mee Audio P1) with some rumble in the mid-bass with mids coming off as slightly veiled and overall lacking in some clarity.
Going from the P1 to the EIxx I thought these had way too much bass but I'm getting used to them. I had a shallow seal with the single flange tips and so far have the best seal with the double flange tips.
I plan on sticking with the EIxx for two days before trying the H8.2, during this time I'm only going to be able to compare it to my P1 on a Geek Out, Mojo, and iFi Pro iCan.
I was a little impatient and tried the H8.2 earlier than I told myself I would, my initial impressions from Ei.xx to H8.2:
There's the mids I was hoping for along with some immediate clarity, bass is more defined and rumble is sufficient for my tastes albeit noticeably less, treble lost some energy but seems to be deeply extended.
Just out of curiosity I tried these direct from my phone and as I expected it's unlistenable due to the noise floor, it's noticeable on the Ei.xx but not that bad but I need to bypass my phone on the H8.2 since I can't ignore it.
Nice!
What phone are you using?
Nexus 6P, the more I use it with headphones the more I feel inclined to just get a DAP (so as to avoid lugging around a portable dac/amp).
Per a thread on /r/headphones/:
"If 10 is "not plugged into anything" and a 1 is "TV static", the 6P would be a 3, the iPhone would be an 8 and the Pixel would be a 7.5 (Or even closer.)" (/u/FTFYWithATypo/
Currently in court for jury duty and the isolation on these is great, however the left side on both do cause a slight discomfort over time due to my concha? being slightly asymmetrical.
Something portable as OTG should do the trick, I guess?
As for fit try to twist the IEM a bit either forward or backwards. When I stared using our universal I noticed that in certain position it caused me great pain but once twisted just a tiny bit clock wise (right ear) fit becomes perfect.
I would love to be part of this tour if there is any slots left. I'm in South Texas by the way.
Let me know.![]()

I am definitely interested in this tour if possible. I am in Lafayette area, Indiana
Edit: May I join? Oh pretty please
Can I get in on this as well?I am in NYC.
I am thinking about purchasing a CIEM for on the go. The subway is quite loud in NYC and I find myself cranking up my universals to a louder volume more often while on the go.
Was thinking about music ones or the EI3 for on the go.
Would be so thrilled to try these out.
Thank you for the consideration.
