I have been waiting for this badboy to arrive. It is said to have 6mm planar drivers in it and it pretty much handles like an etymotic. Actually, that is the main reason I was instantly sold. You can even push em deep (but does not need it), has foam, double flange, special thingy to keep it in your ear. Easy to drive, very sensitive to EQ.
On the other hand, for most people it was kind of meh for several reasons. I dont know whether I jumped the gun on buying it. We will see.
These are the real deal folks. Just got them from Nashville this morning. Put on some metal and started playing with my PEQ. Upper mids are the best I've ever heard. I added a few dB to the sub bass frequencies and all I can say is due to the comfort, isolation and sound, these just became my daily drivers. Great job Akoustyx. ๐
