[Barra]

The Ei.3 tour is now officially launched as a West Coast and East Coast / Canadian tour. Barra has the West Coast kit now and the East Coast kit will be mailed to Cotnijoe as soon as we get an address - PM sent. Please let me know if I somehow missed someone, otherwise, we are good to go. New additions will be added to the end of the list.
 
Updated in Post #2 and will be tracked there. PMs will be sent to the participants to stay in touch with each other.

East Coast tour package has been shipped.  Expected delivery is Wed, 6/24/2015.
 
While I liked the H8P, there were two drawbacks for me.  1 - I routinely have iem's on under a helmet and didn't feel that it would be wise to be pulling a helmet on and off over the iem's. I would worry too much.  2 - I enjoyed the sound much more when running it from O2 or av receiver.  Running it from my Note4 didn't do it for me and that would be when I use iem's the most - directly from my phone.
 
The Music One's I enjoyed greatly and if I couldn't afford (or didn't want to spend the higher cost) the Music Two or Pro330v2 these would be the iem's (custom or otherwise) I would purchase and not look back.
 
But, of the 4 I liked the Music Two and the Pro330v2 the most.  These two reminded a great deal of two headphones I listen to on a daily basis ... Music Two reminded of the Oppo PM-3 and the Pro330v2 reminded me of AKG K712 Pro.
 
I am sad, very sad, to see them leave 

   But am looking forward to the new Ei.3 tour and compare to the sound of the M2 and Pro330v2 to see which iem wins out for me.
 
Thanks to @Barra and @piotrus-g for making this possible!

Adding you to the end of the East Coast Tour.

Handing off the West Coast Ei.3 to barrasr tonight and the East Coast kit is on its way to Cotnijoe from Peter so the Ei.3 tour is in full swing. The Ei.3 is definitely a winner at its price point and likely to be very popular. My only regret now is that I didn't have it at the same time as the M1 and M2 to do an A/B. However, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

Is there tracking?

 

[lagisforeplay]

I have recieved the East coast kit in good condition 

 

[miceblue]

I just received the West Coast demo set today.


The conditions of each unit seem to be pretty much the same as when I received the demo set the first time around, minus the Harmony 8 Pro of course. The Harmony 8 itself had the wrong pins going into the wrong sides (left on right, right on left), as well as the wrong polarity, but it's simple enough to align properly again.

Before/incorrect:



After/correct:


Red dot with red/silver cabled earphone (facing away from head), blue dot with blue/silver cabled earphone (facing towards head).
In both cases, the dot (positive polarity output) aligns with the hole farthest away from the earphones' nozzles (positive polarity input)

 

[piotrus-g]

Thank you for noticing and correcting the polarity (it wasn't necessarily bad since both connectors were inverted by 180 degrees, would be bad, if only one was changed) but it's a pity the channels were switched.
