If you’re gonna get a shiny, it should be the Letshuoer Cadenza 12.

As far as “molten metal” shells goes there’s also the Hifiman Svanar - but at least one side of it is a little more angular/chamfered than the other two choices.

I would say the Cadenza 12 at least sound more special

Maaaaybe there’s a third collab coming out. Maybe! But let’s say I do have a third collab coming out (which I may or may not have in the works), which name should it have? 
Vote:
A) DaVinci
B) Aurelius
C) Newton

If balanced and perfect…DaVinci…put respect on his name
If Bassy…Newton…physics

It’s hard for us to judge because we don’t know anything about this collaboration. But if the tuning is wise and mature, then I think Socrates would be a suitable choice.
“Speak to see you.” (Socrates)
“Play so I can hear you” - that’s from me 
You can also choose something more non-commercial, because Newton and Da Vinci are commercial and do not encourage reflection. 
I really enjoy your naming collabs after philosophers/scientists/theologians.
Aurelius the stoic sounds like a single DD, reference tuned, nothing flashy.
Newton , with his interest in science and theology, sounds like a tribrid with a solid bass presence and sparkly treble.
Da Vinci , my personal favorite, sounds like it would be something special, pushing the boundaries , perhaps a quadbrid , throwing in a xMEMS and bone conductor…something scientific, yet musical.
They all sound better than a hypothetical Gizaudio Spinoza, the heretic, with a massive subbass roll off, piercing highs, and recessed vocal range normally seen only on karaoke machines

Hey! Them’s my first IEMs!
But you’re not wrong. I only really noticed the bass roll off myself, but it’s been a very long time.

DUNU x Gizaudio DaVinci impressions by vianhoho
Saving the best for last. I’ll say it right now; this will be my next IEM purchase when it comes out in a few weeks’ time (words from Yumu of Hifigo. Yes, she was there. Yes, she’s a real person LOL). The best way I would describe it is that it takes the sound signature of the Binary Acoustics x Gizaudio Chopin, which was the previous collaboration IEM Timmy of Gizaudio made and improve it based on the feedback from the community, which as far as I can see it, mostly revolves around the mid-bass tuning; the Chopin does that “Harman thing” where it tucks the mid-bass, resulting in a very clear but very thin sounding midrange. In fact, he improved it so much so that it’s the first thing that jumped out when I was trying it for the first time; just how full-bodied and hard hitting the bass response is. The midrange and treble, I feel like, was left largely untouched but the changes in the bass response definitely had an impact to how they were perceived; they felt more refined compared to the Chopin which felt brighter and forward in comparison.
