Ok, so I'm on the brink of grabbing myself a 1+2 but before I do I just want to dig up a debate from last year, as to whether it is a superior sounding IEM to the Heir 8a I'm currently rocking. There seemed to be contrasting opinions and as far as I can ascertain the biggest differences are that one is significantly warmer with a slightly rolled off treble although possibly more detail due to the number of high frequency drivers and the other has an impressive soundstage that can rival closed back phones and an incredibly well balanced sound.

I'm also conscious I will be losing the isolation of a good custom I have become used to.

Is there anyone here who has heard both and would consider one being significantly superior to the other?

Jim, I know you fall heavily on the 1+2 side, especially with the AK120.

Yeh nazrin313, remember you from the SD3 threads.
Happy days!

I haven't heard the Heir 8a before, but I have heard the demo unit of Noble 8c from the Wizard and I am very familiar with my 1plus2 and also have the new Ref 1 for about 2 weeks now. Maybe if you can tell me what is the key differences between 8a and 8c, I can give you some feedback on how 8a would compare against 1plus2. Also give us an idea what is your favourite genres of music and your music collection.

Yeah bro, i love the sd3, i really2 do.. Its sad to let it go but cos of the 1plus2, hd600, nad viso hp50 and RTi1, the sd3 just doesnt get enough ear time...

So might as well sell it to someone who appreciates it..

My tastes are fairly eclectic, although maybe with a slight bias towards synths and other electronic sounds (EDM etc) good vocals are also important to me.

To the best of my knowledge the 8c is incredibly similar to the 8a with maybe a touch less warmth, so if you are able to compare the 8c with the 1+2, that would be great. Thank you

everyone is saying that the 1plus2 is only performing 60-70% with the silver/gold

 
Just typical head-fi over exaggeration.
