The Triple.Fi 10 is my favorite BA IEM at the moment, closely followed by the R-50.
Whats the best Balanced Armature iem you have ever tried?

Fitear c435 ( audition at SG Jaben ) > Fitear Private 333 ( ordered ) > Fitear Togo334 ( audition during small SG head-fi meet ) > Rhapsodio R-2L ( a surprise 2 driver ) > Westone 4R ( sold ) > Heir 4.Ai ( sold ) > Sony XBA4 ( still own it )
ER-4 > HF-5 > Klipsch X10. That's all I've heard unfortunately.

+1 to W4R.
Also love XBA-1

Ruler flat is all very well. If the route to good sound was that simple... I have ended up equing the top end a little. Still very pleased to have these. Does the 30day money back apply once you have opened the packaging?

For me, it's probably a toss up between Etymotic ER4, HF*, Phonak Audeo PFE single driver and maybe Westone 4 (but I don't own W4, so can't do any detailed comparisons).

Had a head-fi meet recently. Compact Monitors Stage 3 was pretty darn amazing for a 3 driver iem. incredible crossover tuning. best i've heard so far. preferred them to the JH13s and 16s. sadly not much has been said about it on head-fi.

i compared my jh16 to my friend fitear 334 using an dx100,i prefer the jh16. but its not really fair comparison because my jh16 is using custom cable while the 334 was using stock cable and the 334 tips doesnt really give me a good seal like my universal IEM like um3x or ie80 but its not bad either, i suspect the seal plays part too.
the imaging and soundstage of the 334 is really fantastic though.im tempted to get my hands on the 334 now
