Still hoping for more universal options, which I know I am not alone in.
+1 regarding the availability of universal options
We get that a lot. And we know that it would be nice for many customers to have something with a resale value. But we are coming from the development of high class and perfect customized earphones. This makes us always aim towards a high degree of possible customization to create a companion for a long time – or even the whole life. Coming from there, as we are showing with the ERLKöNIG, our approach towards generic earphones is to create something special which is more than just another standard earphone.
But be sure, we have your request in mind and always check for new ways of delivering something unique.
Are there any plans to offer a reshelling service for your IEMs? I know a lot of CIEM companies have been moving away from it because of the costs involved, but the inability to transfer ownership is definitely a point of concern for anyone looking to get a custom.
As this question kind of goes to a similar direction, I combine those in one post. Basically, you are answering the question yourself: Reshelling or owner transfer is a thing that makes no sense for us. Let me explain why:
When we are building a CIEM, we are doing this with the aim to provide an item that can be used for a long time and should provide sonic and visual pleasure for that time, too. Therefor we (VE) are putting a lot of effort into the building of every single CIEM we are producing. Just to name a few processes: We are filling the shells with material, so it looks great and the technical components are protected from hits and shocks. Furthermore we are lacquering the shells instead of polishing them. And the form of every single ear is different, which means that we have to do slight adjustments to the technical components so they fit perfectly in the respective shell.
All of this means that we cannot just take the technical components out of one shell and put them into another one. A reshell therefor means basically to build a completely new CIEM from the scratch. And this means that we cannot offer a reshell for a lower price because it basically is (at least) the same work as a completely new CIEM.
Hope you understand that.
All the best,
Johannes
