There is a queue of about forty so far with two shipping every week. When you put in your order you are added to a Google spreadsheet to keep track of the status.
Any new orders will be added to the end of the queue. Mine are next up to be shipped so should be here in about a week. Can’t wait to hear them. Glad I got in relatively early.
I’m glad I got to hear the Lokahi. It sounds great, but I have other IEMs I prefer (Monarch & Clairvoyance). I prefer DD as well, but you’re right, the Lokahi has impact very similar to a DD. I’m actually thinking about selling it if someone wants to get their hands on it that wasn’t able to order it before all orders were halted. Let me know if you know anyone that might be interested.
IMO the Mangird Tea is superior to the Lokahi for just a little more money.
My biggest complaint with the Lohaki is the inner ear vacuum. You’d think with a big-ass vent in the IEM, it would have more than enough venting. ?!?!?!?!
I need a complete seal, I find Spinfit CP100 do the job best. I get suction immediately when I put them in my ears. I can make it through a song and feel the need to take them out.
EDIT: This is the annoyance… While I have the Lokahi in my ears, I’m constantly reaching for the right ear and moving the tip inside my ear to relive the pressure build up.
