What IEMs are these similar to? They look amazing but not many people have them and they are unquie hybrid with huge DD and one balance armature. I think the Sony z5 with a DD and 2 BA has similar internals. Are these good for hip hop EDM and pop as well as acoustic if anyone ownes or has tried these? I currently have Campfire Audio Lyra 2 $700 8.5 DD and Ultimate ears UE900S quad driver. I LOVE my Lyra 2 sound but I have trouble with tip rolling and fit as I have to keep pressing them in every few minutes to keep the seal or where they feel secure.
Any advice or insight is appreciated!

RareAirsFor Hip Hop/EDM and Pop, the black & copper are for bass, with the coppers having the strongest response of the two filters ! You will totally love the R-1's! Truthfully, I listen to everything and these iems have not fallen short at anything I play! Crispy highs, mids good, but slightly recessed and the nicest bass I've ever heard! As far as fit, have fun tip rolling to find the best fit. I hear the JVC Spiral Dots have been working very well with some! Hope this helps!!

IdontevenknowdudeI would proclaim that copper is almost too much bass. There are times where the black offer up too much, so copper would way overshoot it.
For EDM, Black wins.. if too much Bass, go with the pink. But I agree also with your assessment, that these are all-rounders.. they make any genre sound great, and the filters offer that extra fine tuning per genre.
At this price, I'm amazed they have flown under the radar so much. You get so much quality in construction and sound for the dollar amount it hurts to think of people spending that money on beats or some shit.
I am using the spinfit tips on them now, but find the fit to be less than ideal.. have spiral dots on order, as well as a luna cable from Null Audio (to replace the stiff stock cable)

XannenI agree with you on the pinks, they are for a nicely balanced listen! The black filters add excitement and the coppers are basshead territory (me!!) ! Overall, this is an exciting iem and your excitement will be determined by the source;IMHO! You can't go wrong with this purchase, no matter your preference. Five headphones in one, all competing with top tiers. Go figure?! LOL!!

RareAirsI strictly use my Linum G2 SuperBax MMCX Cable with my CA Andromeda IEM's, and the chin chinch is kinda useless. So all that I did was get a TINY rubber band meant for hair and wrap it 4x around the Linum G2 SuperBax cable so that the CA Andromedas are held tightly in my ears. This has helped their comfort out TREMENDOUSLY, and I have a good and proper seal with them now without messing with them every few minutes. I absolutely LOVE my CA Andromeda IEM's soundwise, but they're a little bit big and heavier than most IEM's, but once I did that to my SuperBax MMCX Cable, and I also got some Comply Isolation+ (TX-400) memory foam tips for them (I got the Waxguard version since the 3 phase coherent holes in the sound nozzles are so big, I didn't want ANY ear wax, dirt or debris from entering them), they are now as comfortable as my Westone UM Pro 30's and NuForce Primo 8 IEM's, and they stay PUT in my ears now. The Westone UM Pro 30's and the NuForce Primo 8 IEM's are more ergonomically and a little bit better fitting in my ears, but the CA Andromedas are so amazing soundwise and have such amazing build quality, that I'll gladly put up with any little issues like that with them.
I can snap a few pictures later of what I did to the Linum G2 SuperBax cable and the tiny rubber band if you want me to?
