Subjective Impressions pre-measurement - this time with the bare metal tips:

* Bandwidth limited.
* Piece of shit.
* WTF!
* Huh?
* Amazing (how something could be so bad)Nominate to Wall of Shame / Walkin' the Plank?

This is the kind of shit that pisses me off. Only because it gives nwavguy and minions ammunition that high-end = colored rip-off gear. The tonal coloration is not pleasant. It is simply low-fidelity. Although from HF, we all know that low-fidelity may be pleasant sounding to a few.

FYI: per all other IEM measurements on this site, there is a cutoff after 9kHz.

Sonove's results: http://sonove.angry.jp/finalaudiodesign_FlDC1601SB.html (Just found out Sonove measured the same thing - I run a slightly different compensation curve, but results are consistent with his.)

Marvey:
Harmonic Distortion.

Bass distortion does make these things much warmer than the FR graph by itself would indicate. Higher order distortion is relatively low. Midrange distortion is actually decent/good.
