Never mind potential marketing bs, it seems well-tuned and worth a closer look:

It's hard not to spend all of SBAF's money on these new budget iems. I want to buy both for us to hear!

God I hate head-f reviews though. "The last 2 planar iems I had needed 50 hours of burn in to even develop bass". What a bunch of bullshit. I've only heard burn in once with a Grado and it was very subtle, just less harsh sounding. Nothing changes FR with f'ing burn in.

Seconded. I did perform burn-in measurements with some IEMs, just for the heck of it. But nothing came up except some very minor and insignificant changes:

"Nothing changes FR with f'ing burn in."

Ears do! Maybe the idiot "needed" fifty hours of HF hearing damage to "get more bass." ?

@Thad E Ginathom you are priceless! moar bass, indeed.

Hey we all have our audiophile Idiosyncrasies where we prioritize the subjective and possibly placebo over the objective. For some its burn in, for others cables. Personally I do think I hear burn in as drivers seem to loosen up and sound more natural, like a new baseball glove or shoes. But I am aware it could be placebo or brain burn in...
