Yup. I had them for two weeks at home and really liked them a lot. but I'll try one more time saturdy before any buy.

OK then. The rendering of the soundstage doesn't sound funny to you ?

To me the parterre was clearly mid-centric, with a marked effect of the titanium shell on the soundstage. The construction is meant to enhance acoustic music, but to me it was a bit shouty and the soundstage too narrow. I still have the prototype, but unfortunately it died on me quite quickly after I received it. Suyama san offered to have it fixed, but I didn't really care for it from what I had heard.

Anyway, to each his own, and I am sure it works for some people. It's still a FitEAR, so top notch construction and attention to details.     

From What I remember , the Parterre has both some forwardness and a good, layered and realistic soundstage . I remember a kind of W sound sig too. i'll see saturday if there're as good as I remember. I'm not so much an IEM guy though so I'm still reluctant to spend money for that. I've not enough use of portable rigs.

I remember the Fitear Parterre as a kind of HD600 duplicated in an IEM.  Maybe my memory fools me.

@MP : You're talking about the universals, right ? My 335 are definitely in another league compared to both the 334TG and the Parterre.

No, I mean the Parterre is the most "un-FitEar" of all the FitEars I've owned in terms of its presentation. The MH335DW does some things better than the TG!334 and MH334, but it still sounds characteristically "FitEar" to me. IIRC the Parterre was designed specifically to present a theatrical presentation.

The titanium tube studio mods for the MH335DW give it more treble sparkle which people seem to think an improvement. Though personally I like the MH335DW as it is.
