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.
Portable music source: Spotify/Soundcloud -> Android -> Fiio E18 Dac/Amp Home music source: FLAC files/Spotify/SoundCloud -> Schiit Modi/Magni
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.
You can find all reviews on head-fi.org

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

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

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? :) )
