So, I got a good deal on the phantom hunters, so I didn't have to pay much more than the PM6 on trinity's website. But what I want to know is what technically makes the earphones I got, the phantom hunters, better than the PM6. When I look at the website, it appears that they have the same amount of balanced armature drivers. There's only very brief technical details, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what it is supposed to mean, or if it really can tell me anything. 
 
What I am basically basing my faith on, is 1: that trinity is the best audio company I know. Their trinity atlas earphone is sublime
2: They say themselves that this is the best they can do. 
 
So the phantom hunter has the same amount of drivers as the campfire audio earphone in the same price range (the Jupiter is 100 dollars more, but the lyra ii is around the same price). But then so does the PM6. I assume the amount of drivers only makes a partial difference, and I know that the armature drivers break up the sound into individual frequencies for every driver. What I don't know is where the other portion of that difference lies, and for what scientific reason in these earphones.
 
That said, I must admit that I am stoked with anticipation for the phantom hunters to arrive. I seized the opportunity to order one months after they went out of stock, from the audio sanctuary website. I talked with jake to confirm that I would indeed be getting them even when I ordered them from audio sanctuary, and he confirmed it. The heat treated titanium looks so beautiful.
 
Also. It is curious that there is no mention of the bass response on the phantom hunter's information. I am curious to know about this as well.

Hunter has the titanium Dynamic Driver, has an "acoustic chamber" with the titanium alloy and has a premium cable.

PM6 has a standard dual coil dynamic driver, standard cable and zinc alloy shell.

My Vyrus v1s spinfits where outside the box because it was already stuffed with goodies. Don't throw away your packaging without looking for them.

It's really impossible to tell which one you will like better at this point since there are zero reviews on them. Also, I won't put too much into number of drivers etc. It's all about the tuning, fit and durability in my opinion. You can listen to a set of of $1000 earphones and you won't like the sound signature and and you can listen to a $200 set of of earphones and you would love them.
Many brands use a single dynamic driver or BA and sound dope.What I'm trying to say is that you will need to listen to more than one to see which you like better.

Yeah for sure.

The amount of drivers has nothing to do with how good it sounds. I've heard twin or even single BA driver iems that can outperform even those with 5 or 8 drivers per housing.

One of the best earphones I've ever heard has a single Dynamic Driver.
 
Then again one of the best IEM's I've ever heard has 5 BA's.

I do wonder what the bass response would be like for the hunters. Even campfire audio's website just gives vague descriptors like "deep and powerful". I'm just really curious to know how these will sound, as I'm sure pretty much everyone else who ordered them is too.
