I bought a pair from the last drop and I love them.
I had no trouble finding a local audiologist to take impressions and send them to AAW in Singapore. Since I have a theBit Opus #1 balanced DAC, I ordered a balanced cable for them. The fit and finish of the A3HPro in my opinion is fantastic. I believe the sound quality can match anything at twice the price of a UIEM (universal fit in ear monitor), and these are custom! I have a pair of Earsonics Velvet, which I love and was never planning to get anything else. However, I really wanted to try CIEMs. The Velvet still are ever so slightly better in sound quality. However, the comfort and fit of the A3HPro have me going back to them for regular listening. So I get a lot more use out of the A3HPro than the Velvet. You really can't beat a CIEM at this price.
One of the benefits of a CIEM that I didn't realize would happen is the reduction of sounds from movement around in my ear canal. A universal suffers from rubbing noise when moving around in your ear because the tips are squeezing to stay in your canal. Not so on a CIEM. They are dead quiet and don't suffer from any ear canal rubbing noises because they fit like a glove. You will hear nothing but your music with dead silent background because they seal so perfectly.
This is hands down the best audio purchase I've made through Massdrop!
I'm not affiliated with Massdrop or AAW in any way. I'm just a happy buyer that wants to share my positive experience with the community. By the way, AAW sells other great products. I bought some custom audio ear plugs and custom ear tips for my UIEMs through their distributor in Singapore. I've now converted my UIEMs to customs and have a pair of custom ear plugs for going to concerts, clubs, etc. I would love to see those products on Massdrop for others to enjoy.

DeanWDean,
In the description of the A3HPro, it states they come with a Null Audio cable. Null Audio is a well known for great quality high end cables. They are also an AAW reseller. There are lots of companies making IEM cables. I don't know what your setup is, so I can't say what kind of balanced connector you need. For my Opus#1 DAP, I bought a 2.5mm TRRS. On the end that connects to the A3HPro you need the two pin connectors that is common to Shure/Westone.
Here is the Null Audio web site: https://www.null-audio.com

rbc3Thanks! I also discovered that when ordering you get a choice of which connector you want so that's perfect.
