No, they don’t exist and probably will never make it to production.

If you didn't mis-type and really meant the Icarus ONE (BT adapter), then (a) wow, they always used to say "two weeks", and (b) bzzzzt, it's been more than two weeks (let alone "next week") and no sign of 'em. I figure that if I cancel, the exchange rate loss would be close to the 10 quid they cost. Who knows... maybe 2018 will be the year they shipGuys I've been out of the loop for quite some while now. Any ideas about the Icarus I? Kieran told me shipping will commence next week, but I have very little faith in anything that comes from Trinity nowadays. Thinking about cancelling my order, any thoughts?
A while ago i remember asking if i can use different cables with my Phantom Master 4 since trinity is unable to manufacture a decent cable that will stay on the damn earpiece without falling off or disconnecting (this is after i went through the 3 cables that came with the IEM and another set i got sent from Trinity started showing the same issues.
I got told by the community that they were proprietary cables and that i shouldnt try other cables, Now i understand that the actual company tells you "only use our cables" since of the warranty issues and liability if you use a low quality cable,
But the community parroting the same response... That truly hurts, I had my phantom masters 4 in a box trying home remedies like bending inwards or flattening a bit the pins on the cables.
I was playing around with the Phantom Masters i got to replace them seeing which filter works best and out of curiosity i pulled the cable off my cheapo KZ-ZS5´s and plugged them in to my Phantom Master 4´s... and guess what ? im listening to them now.
.
...so what you’re saying is that the KZ-compatible upgrade cables will work with the PM4? I’m running low on the TA cables and I too would like to keep these sonic oddities going.
I've been having issues with my Icarus III for close to a month now, for some reason the right ear doesn't work anymore when the cable is plugged in all the way into the female connector. I have to fiddle around to find a spot where I either hear a faint sound in my right ear or a somewhat balanced sound with my left ear.
Has anyone else experienced this issue ?
Mechanically, yes. they're both 2xBA+2xDD.
Sonically...I will do a proper A/B test tonight, but I can tell you from memory that the peak in the lower treble in my PM4 was absent from my Master.
so the PM4 is more natural or more sibilant ?
