How it should be done

Agreed, different just for the sake of it is never good, in any industry.
Another thing to consider imo, is that IEM is an analog thing in tight physical constraints. So some true innovation would require further miniaturization by driver brands, if they can achieve it. But probably no incentive for them currently, and an emergence of a solid competitor to Sonion and Knowles would help.
Kinda like Nvidia relaxed big time with its consumer cards in absence of competition.
But for now, imo, most brands are getting away with doing the bare minimum, abusing the immense subjectivity of this hobby, and prioritizing the margins.
So we’ll probably hear the word ‘slightly’ in reviews for quite a bit longer lol.

That is the definition of their name after all.

Funny thing. It seems that Z got his hands on a PMG APX SE.
He ranted about the exact same issue.
Just watched that review as well. He got it on loan from a Patreon. Just imagine having to ship such an expensive, no longer available IEM back to someone. And for that matter, sending it out to someone else for reviewing purposes in the first place. I would probably just jump into the car (or get on a plane) to return it in person just to be on the safe side.

yea lol, i wanna get the canpur but i feel like I have to demo it for fit but my local canjam but its in september 
are there any iems that are felt more on the ear than the canpur? the zempire ZE51B comes to question or the flipears legion maybe?
I can’t speak to the 622B or Legion as I haven’t tried them yet, but the ZE51B does pretty much all of its business in the midbass; sets with dynamics and planars for lowend (and even some BA sets) can bring more rumble in the lowest registers. I’ve had a couple of BC IEMs at this point (ZE51B, Kinera Imperial Loki, MEST mkII, MEST Jet Black) and none of them (aside from the ZE51B) really give any tactility to the lowend but they do things with imaging and depth that not a lot of other sets do nearly as well. Jet Black in particular sounds HUGE and kinda spherical in a way nothing else seems to. Not in an unrealistic way, either, almost speaker-like in presentation. STORM is the only other IEM I’ve ever tried that approaches a good 2 channel setup for depth.

BC drivers in iems are just too small to physically do well with sub-bass, the most they can do is mid-bass and if done well that COULD still contribute to helping the “sub-bass” due to “missing fundamentals”.

Same. I was with my Son and read on my phone and couldn’t figure out what the fuck was being said so just put the phone down
Got him an iPad Pro and he’s doing great.
He knows he’s on. Child lock because YouTube and Safari don’t work. He’s not pleased and that’s too bad Suck it up little buttercup

Fulgrim was supposed to be $4899 initially if i recall correctly. There’s a story behind the price/driver configuration revision - the initial vision Clement (Alpha Omega 1-man show) had for the Fulgrim was based around his favourite switch combination for the Omega, down-up-up for mids and treble boost. So the first Fulgrim prototype was basically Omega with 2 additional BAs for the mids and mid-highs (1DD+6BA+4EST). He brought that prototype to Hong Kong and Singapore, where it was generally well received, but there was a common comment that he couldn’t get around: it sounded just like a refined Omega. Clement wanted Fulgrim to be different from the Omega, especially in the treble region. So he went back to the drawing block and redid the driver configurations with additional crossovers and 2 more ESTs, and that’s the prototype we’ve heard now. I think that basically pushed the Fulgrim launch back by over a year (i remember it was supposed to be shipped in mid-2024, but had a couple of driver revisions as Clement was trying to achieve his desired tuning).
