What other type of In-Ear Monitors could you compare these too? I'm a collage student from Canada who would probably use these as my only IEM device.
I mainly listen to electronic music. Here is an example of my favourite song right now [Genre: Future Funk](

). This is in no order of what Genres I like: [Deep House](

), [DanceHall](

), [Trap](

), [Electro Swing](

), [PsyTrance](

), Heavy Metal, Rap, Reggae, Older Rock (Like Jimi Hendrix), and sometimes Soundtrack music. Their might be more that I'm missing but that should give you a good Idea what I like.

I'm currently testing out the Sennheiser IE80 ($250 USD). I find the treble is muddy and the bass is nice and boomy. I have also tried the Noble 3 ($350 USD) and I prefer them over the IE80's because the sound is cleaner but still fun. Previous IEM: B&W C5 (fun and boomy), B&O C5 (Boring and Quiet), Ultimate Ears 900 (Boring and Analytical). I *think* I prefer the V shaped sound signature but I'm unsure. Would you recommend the regular CustomArt 8 or the 8 Pro?
To be honest I really can't afford to spend this much money but I willing to drop the money so this is a big decision.
How would shipping work to Canada?
Thanks!
BradNewmanBrad,
Honestly I think you should wait 3days and jump on Ei.xx drop that's starts at 22nd. Harmony 8/8Pro is not something you seem to be looking for. Those IEMs don't have V-shaped sound signature. Think of H8Pro as ~Senn HD800 signature (neutral fast) and H8 as ~LCD-2 type of sound (darker, smoothed out). Ei.xx on the other hand is V-shaped, tuned for electronica, rap, and bass music in general at the same time it's rather well balanced.

CustomArtHi,
I am in the market for some new IEM's at the moment and came across your company and have to say I am mightily impressed with all of the reviews I have read, the Music Ones are current front runners in my selection. Do you happen to know what price point the Ei.xx will drop at as I would love to stretch to them.
Thanks
SqueezedfishThank you for your kind words. Ei.xx is $599

CustomArtAnd would you recommend the harmony 8 or the Ei.xx for someone who listens to a lot of progressive metal (amongst other metal genres), rock, acoustic, classical music? I dont mind getting the harmony 8 from you directly if that's what would fit better
jayrcWhat's your preferred sound signature, can you tell me some of headphones, earphones you liked or disliked?

CustomArtThank goodness for another Ei.XX drop. Any idea what time and what timezone it will start? I want to be first. I've got a trip in March/April that I would love to use these.

CustomArtwell, i have a pair of klipsch x10's and theyre way too dark. My akg k7xx is pretty awesome, really like the level of detail but i preferred some more bass impact cause it feels just a little too analytical. Ive briefly tried the HD650 and that sort of went the opposite way. Apart from having less space, it felt a little lacking in the treble/presence but i think it had a better midrange, which made me start adding a couple dB at 3-4kHz on my k7xx Essentially im not looking for a pair of subwoofers on my head, but in between being able to enjoy my music and also be able to hear fine details (i guess that's everyones dream, huh? :) )
