hey guys - this looks like a good deal.
I have the Pinnacle P1 or Px (which is Massdrop's version of the P1). They're sort of my benchmark given they're widely known and consistently have great reviews and even the ones that do not rate them highly struggle to provide any negative input on them.
So - this is within the P1's pricepoint while the technical comparison (& to a lesser extent the original RRP) implies this would certainly be better than the P1.
Keen to know from anyone who owns both that can confirm this. Thanks!

p0ochI had Massdrop P1 version and sold them. Kept the Primo8's. To my ears the Primo8's had superior clarity and a much more pleasing presentation. I would say more natural than the P1. The Primo8's do not have overpowering bass, but precise, quick and clear bass. The highs on the Massdrop P1 were, again to my ears, a bit too forward, and the bass not quite as precise as on the Promo8's. Maybe even a bit muddy on the P1.

p0ochYes. The Promo8's are really nice IEM's. I would like to sell them, however, as I am not using them. I have too many in my collection. The Pinnacle P1 are highly rated but the sound signature, or tuning, was not for me. I think I prefer the more even presentation of the Priom8. So. one being better than the other is highly subjective. Didn't want you to walk away thinking my comments about the Massdrop P1 were negative.
