  I just pre-ordered the v2's - these will be my first IEMs outside of the standard "shipped with my cellphone" fare.  Are these going to sound OK without external amplification?  I'll be driving them straight out of my Sony Z5P.  
 
Full disclosure:  The only other headphones I own are a pair of K7XX's, so I'm going to less discerning than most of you guys....

I was the same as you when I bought the Vyrus V1. I pre-ordered based on the Kickstarter campaign and wasn't sure what I'd end up with, as they were cheaper than my everyday earphones!
As soon as I tried them I could tell a HUGE different between these and what I was used to! Even being driven straight out of my iPhone sounded awesome!
I've now ordered the V2's because... why not for the price? You can go for a night out and spend more than the Vyrus will cost you!
I don't think driving them will be an issue for you. Sure, they probably sound better with a headphone amp, but even direct from your smartphone should be noticeably different to what you're used to!

Exactly! I find the VYRUS really easy to drive. I have no experience with them driven by an AMP/DAC other than my iPhone and laptop. It's also one of Bob's goals if I'm correct, to be able to drive their products with a phone or laptop and get excellent sound, so that you won't have to spend +100€/$/£ to buy an AMP/DAC to get the best out of it. Correct me if I'm wrong

Perfect, thanks for the reassurance. I'm definitely excited for these to be released. March can't come soon enough!

@bobtrinity just to check.. on the email update, you stated that the tradeupprogramme discount code lets you get the masters for £60... do I need to have purchased some of your more expensive ones first? £60 from £159 seems too cheap!
I already have the Vyrus 1, and Vyrus 2 on preorder. But wasn't sure if I needed to have bought the more expensive ones previously to qualify.
FYI - if you say I can have the master for £60.. my bank and mrs will both hate you! Haha

My condolences to your bank and your mrs's. This is what Trinity said in the email about getting the new Master.
 
"We are opening our Trade-Up scheme to all Trinity Sabre, Vyrus, Master 4 and Delta V-II owners.
 
How this works is simple, you can trade up to the new Master for a ridiculous £60.00 by entering discount code [Discount Code] at the checkout. The great thing about our trade-up scheme is that you don't need to return your old iems, you get to keep them!"

I'm not sure If I should thank you or not for that!!

 
That's just TOO cheap!!
 
Edit - I know these aren't out yet, but what do we think they'll be like to drive? Do the previous masters require an amp to drive? Just thinking about when I'm out and about with just my iPhone

*** @Bobtrinity Why you do this???
 
Just ordered the Masters to go with my Vyrus 2

 
You're bad for my wallet, Mr.!!!

Anybody have a review on the master and how do they compare  to the vyrus 1

They aren't available yet, so won't be any reviews.

As for comparisons to the Vyrus 1... they are £159 vs £59.. so they'll sound different.

I have the Vyrus 2 and Masters on preorder, so I'll have chance to listen side by side

They are the Vyrus V1. V2 aren't out yet. The picture also shows cables that are detacable at the IEM itself, which the V2 do not.

I just bought a pair of the Masters using this code. Put in the code and all the way through the checkout process, it was charging me the USD equivalent of £60. I'm not a returning customer, so I don't know if that matters. But I'm about to find out!
 
I'll keep you all posted. At $75 and free shipping, this is a no-brainer. I hope it works!

The code is working for everyone BUT if you haven't bought something from them in the past your order will be cancelled when they will check it.
Also i think the tradeup program was available to end of february
Only Bobtrinity can confirm that.
