I wasn't in on the drop, but my A3H Pro has just arrived today and they are undoubtedly the best looking CIEM I've had, no complaints in the aesthetics department.
This is the version 1. I decided to get the version 1 because a friend who owned both recommended the v1 to me. The sound is fine, I have no complaints for the price -- it is what I expected to get: deep dynamic bass, a fair midrange, but with a lack of air in the treble extension. As far as I know, they supposedly increased the treble on the v2 model.
Only downside is the left channel is a little fuller, and more forward in the mid-range/midbass than the right channel. I am absolutely floored with how good they look in person, and how the wood plays with the light. AAW undoubtedly has some of the best looking shells in the game.

That sounds like a manufacturing defect, no?
It is either that, or a fitment issue. But I am getting a proper seal on both sides. I did a measurement on a home made rig and it did show what I was hearing. But CIEMs are difficult to measure due to the variation in insertion direction and position..
If it can't be fixed I'll just turn my right channel up ~3 dB and body it. It sounds close enough, and I love how they look so much.
I re-listened this morning to a variety of music at different vol levels using both Capri and normal cables.
headspace / soundstage is centered and equal on my pair. :)
