I understand that the Billie Jeans are a smaller IEM in size compared to the Michelle?
I may have to pull the trigger and get me some of these and replace my Fischer Amps.
is it better than the michelle limited editions?
The combination of your review and that price has me super interested in these - for my wife if not for me. Can you tell us about soundstage size and precision?
Awesome post and review, Warren! Now I'm super-pissed that I didn't give these a listen at CanJam. I won't make that mistake twice!
Having listened to dual BA like hum prisitine , sd2 and q-jays I believe the push for more driver isn't necessary for better sound, there is still more left to exract from simpler driver confirmation.
I actually tried these at the head phone fes here in japan yesterday and today and for being only 2ba i was very surprised at the sound.
There is bass and its like the punchy enjoyable bass compared with Michelle honestly it gives michelle a run for its money they did a really good job with these and i am getting one for myself and my girlfriend

for me the billie jeans sound was more to my liking compared to michelle well that and its very light in weight
Can you comment as to comparing with Etymotic’s? I am finally going to upgrade away from my trusty but ancient Shure e2c’s and I’m thinking that $400 is about my limit
I’m really curious about these after reading your impressions. Just the way you described the midrange makes me wanna preorder these immediately! I just wanted to know what source you used while testing them and if they’d work well on a lower-powered source such as an iPhone. I haven’t had much luck with BA earphones (they’re usually extremely harsh to my ears, even the well-reviewed ones) and I’m hoping the Billie Jeans aren’t super source dependent.
Looking forward to reading your impressionsended up buying this, will post a review soon
