I am using the AKG's from the S8 at work right now pending my PM6 being delivered.
They actually sound decent - feeding them with an original Schiit Fulla.
I hope to try the PM6 before I make a decision on the Icarus IV pre-order. Have the email but can't pull the trigger right this second.

I'm a little saddened that as a hunter owner, I did not get a chance at the Icarus IV at a lower price point... Was really aiming to do a side by side comparison of all three high end models of the Trinity products.

Honestly it is weird as I have been VERY VOCAL and I still got the invitation. I would not say I am have been the most complaining on the forum, but still among the most ones.
But I did not actually send them many emails to be honest. Only one two weks ago asking for shipping by a given date or refund failed that.

There're here!

Is there any change to the status for your order on Trinity Audio to say that it's been sent? If so, what does it say? I keep looking at my order to see if anything has been sent yet, but I might be wasting my time.

They do not update the status of the order and there is no "shipped" email.
If you have Standard Shipping (Royal Mail International Standard) the package just arrives. You don't know when/if it was shipped.

My experience from 3 orders to Europe.

I had Standard shipping for my Vyrus 2 and Master and received an e-mail stating they had shipped with tracking numbers for both. Status on my Trinity account showed tracking numbers also. Hoping the same for my Hunter. But if it was shipped about 2-3 weeks ago per Jake's' answer to me, that probably won't me the case.

Probably your "fanboy" status was revoked.

Guys, just picked up my upgrade galaxy s8 and just tried the AKG IEM's that come with it, fair play, quality! Quite surprised. Anybody here tried them?

Will be interesting to see if I hear any sonic differences between the phones on Tidal

I returned my LG G6 and got the S8 mainly because I wanted to try the AKG iem's. :)

They are pretty decent. The reviews I saw on youtube were generally lackluster, so I thought they weren't going to amount to much. Bass is actually pretty good on these, not booming, but accurate and reasonably fast. Overall detail retrieval is pretty good, though transparency could be better. My biggest complaint is the soundstage is anemic and fit as intended are not comfortable for me. Ear comfort is fine, but the cable rests completely along my face (a byproduct of how the cable relief is designed). To me, they wear comfortably up and over the ear.

The mic is actually pretty good too. In summary, best pair of earphones to come with a phone, but nothing I would of purchased. With a retail price of $99 I'd take the 1more triples over the AKG's. The 1more's do everything better than the AKG's. The sub $100 earphones I keep in my collection and still use are: 1more triples, re400, vyrus 1 and 2, westone um1. The AKG's would almost displace the um1, but didn't.

Mine are going to my daughter. As to value, I'd pay $40 for them happily (and still give them away, to be honest).

@Sam L ye I really was surprised, fit is a bit crap but nothing horrendous. Bass is very nice, pretty full sounding, overall nice sounding.

Have the icarus iii incoming plus the other IEM's I have, not sure how much use they'll get but I could sell a few and keep them as a decent backup if needs be while gaining some funds from any i sell.

Im looking to see what the icarus iii delivers with that big dynamic and BA setup. Be interesting, actually be interesting to see when they'll be delivered, the next month or 2 I assume, if its longer then that's also fine to me.

I do hope the insertion of icarus iii is deeper than master though

You can hope, but I'm not counting on it. The overall spacial design seems similar even if the shell shape itself is different. It looks like it should sit in the ear better because it's smaller, but probably will be the same insertion depth.
