I look forward to hearing your comparison results. It is looking like most IEM’s are tuning their products to confirm to the Harman curve. Eventually it will all boil down to overall distortion, size, “fit and comfort”, aesthetics and price. We can only hope this happens before we all run out of money!
Me I think that it is more likely that Wireless will become indistinguishable from wired. They already dominates the market and they already are DSPed and the fidelity payback is quite small, even debatable. I don't see many people listening to music attached to theit phone when I look around.
I would agree that the majority will be wireless - but I think for those who care about compliance to harman curve or diffuse field with a bass boost etc we are already seeing some IEM's with built in DSP (even the new 'Moondrop Chu' the "Moondrop Jiu" uses a usb-c based DSP to get even closer to harman). We see switches on IEM's currently and now the Truthear with an Impedance Adapter. The logical path (once the electronics are sorted) is DSP within the IEM itself powered by USB-C (instead of battery).
Criticism of value has to be relevant and factual.
Most who care about compliance to the Harman curve may not be the typical wireless earbud customers, But those who makes them certainly care about putting out products that listeners will like. That's the whole idea of a preference curve, You don't have to care about Harman curve to like Harman curve.
I agree and mostly I have found that those that do care about the what curve they are using, don't really want to use wireless for critical listening (but maybe that will change once 'real' loseless bluetooth becomes the norm). But then possible people don't use their mobile phones as the source when listening on an IEM anyway. I just think the compromise will be wired (with USB-c) and a simple way to change the DSP / EQ to match the curve while not worrying EQ app on their phone or laptop etc.
OK, I think the mod don't like us to discuss what's not specific to the tested unit, We probably should stop the discussion and I do not know how to move Posts to an other thread
If you wish to continue discussing this subject. Start a new thread. Come back here and drop a link to the new thread and we will move the appropriate posts to your new thread. Hope that helps some. But yeah we need to stay on topic. At least for the first 20 pages.

Hang on, why are you showing me more information. You already showed me a link where Harman showed only a difference at 13kHz between RA0045 and RA0402, and that's independant of any metal extension, so why are you talking about a metal extension now, because as I understand it that's the area where you don't know the effect, you don't know the effect of the metal extension, hence why you suggested to Amir that he test the metal extension vs his pinna. Why you make this so complicated, lol! (And yet your graph you show, a new one (facepalm), is again showing the same information but in a different way of what I thought we worked out already that there is a resonance at 13kHz with the RA0045 that isn't there with the RA0402.....why are you making this so complicated. You're a knowledgeable and smart guy but for some reason your posts confuse the hell out of me (about 50% of the time, lol), surely I can't be the only one.
Why so serious? /insertjokermeme
Again beg to differ; owners of Revel Be series report that the Elacs are shockingly close, and with EQ, minor blemishes can be removed. Just one example; set up any of these speakers, dial in EQ, maybe add Dirac and I would submit you are 80-90% "there" (there being a capable 5k/pr speaker). But yes a subject of another thread.
I was surprised that over here the order came sooner than expected and without hesitation I ordered and realized later that it was pre-order. The seller responded that it will be end of June for the Red to arrive.
