I have heard enough to unsubscribe. Actually I'll stick around. This is too much fun.
Thinking about getting one of these, so if anyone can post their impressions would be nice.
Im more concerned about the metal fit/feel, single BA in terms of detailling, and how is the bass, since it is using neo magnet driver just for the bass, which probably needs burn-in.
And plonking down so much for an IEM.
Fit isn't that great... It's not as bad as I put it, but it's still like sticking squares into your ears Housings are quite large, so bigger ears will find it more comfortable than small ones.
As for the bass, it's extremely tight and fast. It has good texturing and depth as well, although that's not its focus. I really didn't have any problem with the bass.
Thanks for the reply, I had a look at the comparison picture with the 4R it does seem the housing is massive (lols) 4R housing fit was good and comfortable, this square shape.. humm not really sure at the moment.

And this picture shows it is also huge in the width.
I think it depends on the nozzle now.. if it is long enough.. Does it insert as deep.
Just saw a 350 price drop on the IQ, doubt this would help them sell what seems to be an IEM with a 300 dollar sound signature.
i had a look at several, Westone 4R i have listened, didn't really like it "that much" it was clean, nice separation and all, but the texture of the bass unsettles me abit, never have i heard such bass tones so clearly, i think i rather have quantity.
Another is the UE 900. but thats run by Logitech these days... I also failed in finding a nice iPhone control cable for my UE TF10 with Silver. So might ended up getting the 800-900 ish ultrasone
Also does the sound really is worth only $300? like the UE700? hehe.. well with abit better bass.
You can only for yourself, we all have different taste in audio. By the way since you are in Australia you can get the IQ for 599 from addicted to audio. They also have the tio on sale for 300, I am thinking of buying that.
Hmm I wonder how the TIOs will be like? Anyone seen reviews for it? (yes I googled!)
$300 for a single driver.. hmm it looks really good though and I am quite tempted
