Final update:
I spoke with Simon for about 30 mins a few minutes ago. I now have an accurate picture of how he does things and that he is truly a one man show when it comes to design, tuning and manufacture of his earphones. That in of itself is impressive, but it also partly explains why the price is what it is. The other part is that he refuses to use even âlower gradeâ Sonion drivers, and they are out there. I learned that just because someone boasts a Sonion or a Knowles driver, does not mean that it is going to be great, or even good. In summary it was a very informative and very friendly conversation which ended with him offering to send a set of the Unity for review. Obviously I took him up on that. And to those who rushed to his defense after my unknowingly ignorant comments, my hat is now off to you. If I had known then, what I know nowâŚ
It doesnât mean the set is going to be mind-blowing, and it does not guarantee that I am going to like the tuning, but I absolutely will try to assess it for what it is (as I try to do in all of my reviews) and not what I think it should be. The price is the price and it is not $671 out of greed, but out of necessity from time dedicated and components involved. So there you go. I was wrong. I admit it. âAnd that is all Iâve got to say about thatâŚâ
If anyone is interested, I will post a link to the review once it is live.

No doubt. One of my bandmates to whom I gave the Hola a few months ago already is interested in a better set. I turned him on to the Delci. 
Still, we audiophiles are an outlier. Even the curious non-audiophiles can become daunted by frequency curves, terms like timbre, grain and siblilance, paddling amid the raging rapids of weekly ChiFi IEM releases and the byzantine world of ordering from AliExpress, among other things.
So, unless someone is curious enough to fall head over heels with this hobby like we all did, theyâre eventually going to revert to mass-market headphones they can buy at Best Buy. And Iâm not seeing Tangzu, Kefine or Campfire Audio products being available at big-box stores probably at any time in our lifetimes, regardless of age.
I would love to be wrong in this case, but âŚ
As far as elitism in this community, thatâs 100 percent true. But itâs also true of nearly EVERY niche hobby in which the products that are tried and debated are more expensive and of (usually) better quality than more consumer-oriented brands. People who buy $20,000 watches sneer at Timexes. People who buy $2,000 bottles of wine scoff at Yellow Tail. People who buy Honus Wagner baseball cards for $1.7 million donât give a thick snot about Nestor Cortesâ rookie card.
I donât think weâre bigger assholes than most niche communities, in general.

Agreed. But now I know why you defended Plunge Audio. Simon is fucking great. I would have done the same thing if I knew him even a little bit. Apologies for my part in it too. I was just being dumb and ignorant.

A few thoughts for the guys here. I feel my ranking list is kinda odd, and tries to do something kinda lame, but kinda cool in my eye. Itâs like running upsteam and am afraid it might not work. So I seek feedback from you all for a minor adjustment or to keep.
Current:
or to something more traditional with just a recommend starsscore next to iems. It wouldnât change that much just a more clear rating, and I think it might be more traditional. (just a quick thought but showing you what I think) I think this method would make a few things easier on my end, and more clear for those looking for a product.
Anyhow, I just want to improve and any feedback on this would be helpful.

I ran into that same problem when I had some more detailed score for the top iems in my list, which I had on another page instead.
Problem is that âpowercreepâ happens a lot so you have to readjust things a lot more, which is why I ended up removing that and just sticking with that one overall value (and another âmoddedâ score as well).
