They are hereeee. WOW. I am listening now. I thought the Shure's were good (and they are) but these...so crisp and clean. The clarity is just outstanding. I can only imagine what the more expensive models sound like. I won't be finding out though lol..I have reached my price point. Brought up my playlist with voice control...nice!!!

congrats on getting them in. Most people say balance armature drivers dont need burn in but in about 40 or 50 hours on those they will open up a bit more as well. Ive read a bunch of peoples views on the triples and burn in time and the conclusion is they will open up a bit more and treble will get even more spark to it. Enjoy

I've been tempted to get these for a long time. But at the rate i go through most earbuds for my phone. I've held off getting a pair. Instead, i'm waiting to get my Custom UE 4 pros. And the wait is killing me. Talk about serious audiophile

If they're as good as i've read about. They might replace my Grado RS2i's

UE 4 Pro has some good reviews. Not a bad price either after including the ear molds.

A review I read was calling it "the poor mans UE Pro 10". The price isn't bad at all.

If going customs i would go with JH's Jerry harvey is the one that started UE and hes moved on. I would love for some jh13's 6 drivers in each ear. You heard that right lol 6

. JH5pro are supposed to out do the low end UE's by a decent margin although not too many people have them yet.

OMG @ 6 drivers. Bet those would be mind blowing. How do you like the gear in this link!

I wonder if you would still have voice control using that dock cable for output?

I'm all for high quality audio, but i just don't understand investing all that money in a portable audio device... especially an iphone or ipod. The very essence of being "on the go" means you're never going to be in a great environment for representing the true nature of the music (or whatever) you are listening to.

Just my opinion.

Most people that invest 1300 or so in headphones dont just listen to them on the go. They also have hundreds of dollard in amps and player's and dac's as well. I listen to my 3's at home when its too late to listen to music on my home stereo. Most good IEM's will isolate at least 25 decibels so even if you are in a subway your still hearing the music pretty good, and you dont have to be in a perfect musical environment to get great sound out of headphones.

I hear ya, but the headphones in the original post are clearly designed to be used with the iphone "on the go" because they've got the mic built in.
