Some quick impressions non-audio related: these shells/nozzles are huge, I wasn't sure they'd fit but they did although I'm getting a very tight fit even with the smallest spin fits in my right ear, I don't have much hands-on experience with the transparent shells used in (C)IEMs but I like the color and design of these.

I think the included spinfit tips might be a bit worn out as they're sliding off more often than I'd like - especially in comparison to a new pack I just opened; on another note it appears someone may have accidentally switched a pair of spin fits for some Noble Audio tips.

I didn't like the LE2 on immediate listen so it's staying in the case for this tour, the LE3S is much more bearable and the Aether is a very enjoyable listen (aside from my physical comfort being lacking).

Aether is on its way to @mrstrangeguy as of late afternoon yesterday.

My thoughts on the Aether can be summarized with:

While the Aether is an extremely fun IEM that I love like very much, it's not one I'd listen to for long due to its distant mids, thumping yet somewhat loose bass, and slight roll-off in the treble.

My thoughts on the Aether can be summarized with:

I never found it to have "Distant mid" , perhaps it's the dap you are using?

 

[Aleatorius]

@gearofwar Nope, definitely heard distant mids from all three sources I used (phone, Geek out, iFi Pro iCan) @flinkenick referred to them as "slightly laid back" which I heard as distant but I do have a preference for slightly forward mids.

I preferred the Zeus-R over the Aether and I'm not referring to just it's technicalities, I found it much more enjoyable overall.

The 3 iems seems to be in good shape. Will send the tour kit to @shenshengkafei after I'm done.

Tour Announcement - Moving to the "Late Comers" List
Looks like we have finished up the original logistic friendly list. We have skipped @thelostMIDrange, @Poetik, @Finatic, and @warrior1975 due to unresponsiveness unless you guys speak up now. Otherwise, feel free to join back into the tour later and we will add you to the end of the list. That means that @shenshengkafei is next and we will work our way down the late comers list as the kits come available. Please PM the next three in the list so that we can insure availability of someone to ship out on the 8th day to keep things moving.
