Does anyone know of any hybrid IEMs that are open? I'm trying to find something with ported drivers or at least a vent for more open sound... I could care less about people around me hearing my music. Sub $100 range hopefully. a little higher is OK.
@Podster I don't necessarily assume reasonable behavior is the norm. People as a whole tend to be close-minded and petty. But if a person isn't reasonable, I generally don't see much of a point in continuing conversation.
I like the simple circuitry design/idea, I did read your review from last year and also HiFiChris's thoughts as well. Is kind of a shame about the filter to smooth out it's presentation but some may actually like that, you are spot on about the price being a real bargain

Yes, I'd also preferred it not having the filter. That being said it sounds really good with the right pairing. I do also believe that these kind of filters are more common than we'd like to know but not all manufacturers will mention it. The original Geek Out for example does offer two different filter settings.
For people with one or more of the VE earbuds the Lancea should be of interest. It's definitely one of the better pairings with all of them that I've heard.
Just wrote about bass oriented KZ IEMs in KZ thread just hours ago. I'll repeat here anyway.
Following KZ are oriented towards bass lovers. All have bass quantity greater that Translucent ATE, and offer V-shaped or L-shaped FR.
ED8m : Best midbass among KZ. Very punchy and textured. This is well complemented by smooth and enough sub bass. Other characteristics are nice, airy highs and huge soundstage. But it's also heaviest and large shaped chunk of metal so fit issues for some.
ED10 : Have equal amount of sub bass and mid bass. Bass is very fluid and fast. V-shaped sound.
R1 : Huge, rumbling sub bass. Little bloated. This is the cheapest KZ I've seen, dropping at about $2 once. Ideal fit for sleeping.
DT3 : EDSE like sound with added bass levels.
Include ZS1 in the list as well. It has monster bass but I'm yet to figure out exact words to describe it.
