Altec Lansing ‘InMontion’ iM716

Type: Single Balanced Armature
Spec: User selectable HD / Bass mode on inline volume control pod
Cord Style: Y-cord, 1.40m
Mini Jack Style: Gold plated L style, light build.
Eartips Used: Tri-flanges
Packaging: 4/5 
Build Quality: 4/5
Accessories: 4/5 (Included case is balky, but functional)
Isolation: 4/5
Microphonics: 2/5 (w/o clip) | 4/5 (w/ clip)
Comfort: 3/5 (not the best to wear because of the inline volume pod)
Soundstage: 2/5 (HD mode) | 3/5 (Bass mod)
Sound Quality: 4/5 (Analytical, Bass mode adds a bit warmness)
Value: 4/5 (One of the best bargain when you find it cheap. Only downfall is it is out of production so don’t expect warranty for long)
Remark: One of the best values in IEM market as dealers are clearing their stock with ultra low price. The volume pod can be mod'ed to give an even better SQ closer to than of ER4P. However, don’t expect Altec Lansing to honor the warranty once you mod it. Will sound really great if you amp it.
