Number 45
As promised and explained earlier, we’ll be doing a year long of weekly giveaways and last September was the start of our 52-week celebration. For this 45th round of the biggest audio giveaway the world has ever seen, we’re giving away a universal set of the AAW Canary IEM!! The IEM is worth $2.200USD! This incredible IEM can become yours and all you have to do is … sign up and leave a comment what got you in to good portable audio.
But first, let’s look at AAW and the Canary IEM you can win.
AAW Canary
About AAW
Advanced AcousticWerkes is a Singaporean brand of custom and universal In Ear Monitors. They have been around for a little while already. Their W900 hybrid monitor has been very popular especially.
Key products of theirs are the A2H – which was one of the first hybrid CIEMs, the W500, the W900 as well as Nightingale and Canary.
Their line-up consists of many hybrid designs and AAW has been pushing them a lot since their launch. Earlier this year, AAW has introduced their first ever triple hybrid model – the Canary. And that’s the unit we’re giving away today, so let’s check it out.
The Canary
Full product page of the Canary can be found here: https://www.aaw.me/products/canary-isobaric-electrostatic-universal-in-ear-monitor
AAW Canary
It’s Linus who reviewed it for us, and this was his conclusion:
AAW brings a more than complete package with this CIEM. The accessories are spectacular, the build quality very good and the sound just wonderful.
The Canary does make a lot of things right, maybe it doesn’t lead the hoard in any particular segment, but it presents an excellent tuning balance and for me is one of the top CIEMs in my collection. Canary doesn’t seem to step a foot wrong, but rather plays it safe. It doesn’t risk anything to go beyond it’s abilities, which makes it a nicely enjoyable ride.
If that sounds like your kind of signature, give the Canary a listen and see if one of your local retailers has them available for demo. For me Canary is an easy recommendation and gets placed in our Best CIEM list.
You can find his full review here:

I’m an entertainer in Alaska and use an in ear monitor but not real happy with them. Hope to win a pair as I’ve heard great things about this product.
Adriana B Roberts
Great minds think alike ????
Jack Maulana
The klipsch x20i at changi airport was the first iem that got me hooked into personal audio.. I never expected iems to sound good tbh.. now the AAW, curious about their sound..
Jack Richardson
An unexpected bit of money from a great aunt spurred me on to get some nice headphones, then it all trickled down from there. These would do nicely for the commute!
Eric Coles
Honestly don’t know a niche existed for these

I got into high grade audio when I found that I could discover something new every time that I listened.
Bing Shan
I really want this. I saw this on my friend’s Twitter and just HAD to enter
Anton Helsgaun
I got into nice(ish) in ear audio after my crappy Sony Bluetooth headphones died.
After this I got a pair of cheap Chinese iems. Then another one. Then another one; but the fit wasn’t right. So I set on the adventure of making my own ciems, and it has by far been the most fun part of the audiophile hobby for me
Tomislav Podnar
Aawww 🙂
My body deserve this piece if art.

That’s great, good luck everyone!

Wow these look quite amazing. I have never seen such audio earbuds before.
Martin Kozak
me too!
Peter Skov
Read about the Ollo R4 and got myself a pair. I experienced what a good headphone can do to the music. Now I have tried a number of headphones and IEM’s and still I get amazed about how much difference in sound and experience you (mostly) get. And I would really like to listen to the Canary’s ????
Jerome Yeo
I am from Singapore. I was first introduced to their company via Social media and quickly fell in love with their CIEMS. I bit the bullet when i had the opportunity and bought my first IEM, the AAW W900 from them and have been using them as my daily driver ever since. Hope this giveaway would be a chance for me to be able to continue my journey with them with a new addition to my W900!

The one who get me into good personal audio is my friend who are audiophile before me. He the one who poisoning my mind, not that I regret it.
William Poyfair
I worked in a loud hospital kitchen in highschool and college and turned to an early Sony Walkman to listen to music when working alone or 3rd shift and I have been hooked on getting better sound ever since.
Clayton Bostick
I’ve been into good audio equipment ever since I asked my dad for Beats in 6th grade and he gave me something better instead. I’ve since always sought to get something better in my sound.
Booker
I’ll be honest: what got me into good portable audio was good metal! \m/
christine visage
Good audio? Always loved music, the better the audio, the better the music ☺
Melissa Moore
Hi! I’m brand new to quality audio, but I’m eager to learn! I usually ask my more knowledgeable brothers for advice. Thanks for the opportunity!

Dear Sir, iam from Philippines iam a part-time DJ in a karaoke bar, I’m currently using SE 425 Shure,im planning to buy another new one, so was so interested with Headfonia which I learn so many things about CIEM hope I could win this time thanks
Joseph Kim
I got into good personal audio when I started looking for a set of replacement headphones for my ipod. I was blown away by how much better a 20 dollar pair of earphones were to the earbuds included with my ipod.
Richard Tourtellotte
I got into high quality portable audio when I traveled overseas for 3 years and didn’t have a home to have a full 2-channel setup
James Wallace
I dream
Pasquale C.
Wow!
Lambert Nathaniel Acorda
I have been a music lover since I was a child. There’s this one time that my brother let me borrow his earphones and little did I know, it was the first poison that I took. The experience was unforgettable that I started looking for an even better IEMs in the internet. That was about 6 years ago.
Serdal
I want to be the new home of this little canary 🙂
Semih Akaba
That’s amazing.. cant believe my eyes. best gift ever
Marco Tanamal
The one that got me interested in personal audio is my friend…
He show his Walkman phone and let me hear his phone… My jaw dropped because I think the sound quality is so smooth and have good amount of bass…
Since that I’m interested into good personal audio…
STEVEN CHING
I’ve always loved music but it was my coworker who helped me dip my toe in the world of higher end audio when he bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 650’s. It’s all been downhill (uphill?) from there.
Ageng sutrisno
Poisonous CIEM
Andrew Berkowitz
As a kid listening to the radio and hearing how poor it sounded. I had my first stereo and subwoofers at 20 @and 15″ subwoofers in my vehicle by the age of 16. Sadly, I’m still using my pair of Shure e5C’s. (Don’t judge!) I’m desperately in need to upgrade my personal audio CIEM’s!!!
Huynh Nguyen Long
Unlike most people interested in this hobby, I don’t play any instrument, sing in any band or otherwise plan to work as an audio engineer.
I’m just a simple guy who loves listening to music 🙂
My journey began not so long ago, when I was a tween in Vietnam. I had a crush on a classmate who had the voice of an angel who loves to sing. Such talents could hardly stay unnoticed, and eventually she was regularly performing in local public events, with live television broadcasts and some dedicated fans. Being seated right next to her in class, I am definitely one of the few lucky enough to have heard her singing irl, but with her live performances recorded and readily available on the web, I would’ve been a fool to not keep a few of them on me 😛
With the recordings on my old phone and the stock earbuds that came with it, I would be in my room, put the songs on loop, be alone with my thoughts and just loose myself in the music, the mome… Oh wait, something’s off. It didn’t sound like her. I mean, it was someone trying their best to imitate her but did a poor job doing so, lacking the finer details that was present in her everyday singing.
I was adamant that the problem lay in my poor audio equipment for failing to capture her music the way it was meant to be, and so I picked up hi-fi audio as a hobby, and the rest is history 😀
In the end, our paths didn’t crossed (my music illiteracy was probably to blame), and we went separate ways. But from time to time, I still use her recordings as benchmark for my small, but growing collection of IEMs, with my most prized possession being the ER4XR. My drive to recreate the girl’s voice to fit my memory means that my preferred sound signature would be balance and neutral, which the AAW Canary sounds like it would fit perfectly!
Thank you for doing this giveaway, and for reminding me of the good old times 🙂
Wills Chiu
The reason why I got into headfi is because the the earphone that I was using broke, and so I was searching for a replacement.
And after I did some research I then realized there were many good head/earphones out there
Zahit Emre Metin
For me it was Sennheiser GSP 300
Samuel Cho
Yamaha EPH-100 was a great first IEM
Henry Hsu
Incredibly generous of AAW to give away their new flagship.
As for me, I’ve been playing music since I was 5 but as a kid, I’ve always hated listening to recorded instruments, because they sounded so dead and unrealistic to me; Of course I was listening out of $5 throw-away buds at the time. Then one day in high school, I randomly walked into an audio store where the owner was nice enough to let me listen to his HD800 and that changed my life completely. I couldn’t afford it at the time so I saved up for a DT880 but since then I’ve spent thousands pushing for that next 1%.
Vincent Tay Kim Hong
I just wanted something better
Rashad Toffiq
Beautiful
Jason Andres
My first step was a Sony Walkman I was gifted 27yrs ago.
David Traver Adolphus
I didn’t even know these existed. I’m only now starting to get into real audio, it’s a fun journey.
Bill McGovern
I started with the combo of a Samsung Galaxy S3 and V-Moda XS and have slowly progressed to the Hiby R6 Pro, ES100, and BGVP DMG. Next target is an upgrade to a better UIEM/CIEM (like the Canary!).
kw
The sound, of course!
Matthew B
It seems we’re slowly but steadily arriving at the time of the 8-driver IEMs !
Audiosense recently brought their T800 on the market, pretty sure the AAW CANARY would be hard to beat though (discounting the price difference of course).
Those are insanely beautiful <3
Michael Parfenov
Canary!!
Kevin Ristau
I needed better detail because my music sounded like it was coming through mud!
Sebastian
Obviously music got me into it, and then trying to get the “desktop” level performance on the go kept pushing me down the rabbit hole
Alson Chua
I first into good portable gear when my old “consumer” grade earphone spoiled. Went to a local shop and try out some high end stuffs (opened my ears) which later on also unlocked my talent for audio engineering and music production. So good personal audio gear make me realize how I live music so much. Never regret step into the side of the world 🙂 Hope everyone enjoy music and good luck everyone with the lucky draw. 🙂
Anne Caprice Claros
Cool colour!
Charlemagne Claros
So awesome!
Edy Tansil
Since home audio doesn’t mix well with children, so personal audio it is.
majid rafiie
Awesome Giveawayyy
Ed Rogers
Good music got me into good audio, and an increasingly crowded and noisy world got my deeper into expanding my head space with personal audio … and Headfonia has been very helpful guiding the way. Let the sound be with you.
DIDIEK BHUDY PRABOWO
When you want to hear the real sound of music, you need to dive in to the world of personal audio.
Hil Jacques
Joli oiseau pour chanter dans mes oreilles !
Kenneth cochran
My dad and his old school hiFigure got me into this audio.
Keshminder Singh
Would love to win these awesome looking pair!
Hao Quan Cai
When I heard the Grado 225i for the first time.
Eric Moberly
I got into hi-fi during my time teaching overseas. I started with a pair of Shure e2c then se530 and finally moved to se535 when the cables eventually broke. I used a huge chunk of my first paycheck to get an iPod and I don’t think I need to tell you but I was pretty damn cool in my cargo shorts and plaid short sleeve shirt.
Frank Paquet
I’ve been listening to “personal audio” since my first Sony Walkman (cassette) many, many years ago. Always copied my LP’s to cassettes using first Kenwood, them Nakamichi recorders. At the time, I thought it was amazing that one cassette (90 minute) could hold two whole albums!
Hin Yui Wong
I heard my father’s Shure 530 when I was 12. Compared to the Sennheiser CX400 (which were pretty underwhelming for the price). Realized there is more to Hifi aside from BASS.
Paul Davies
A significant pay rise allowed me to dabble in this rarified world.
Calvin Hew
I got into quality audio after I started learning about music. Realised the true expression of each individual artist is so important and means so much to the music.
Cindy VEERAPEN
Wow these cost more than theie wight in gold!
jim osullivan
I friend introduced me to the world of audio via his hifisetup. Being a dad I new I had to replicate it in the I am world. I need to hear the music!
Tom Langdon
I tried the Campfire Andromeda and was hooked.
Leandro Berry
For me, it was simply becoming a more serious music fan and considering it unfair to the artist and myself to let cheap audio solutions impede our communion. So c’mon – let’s be fair and get me these not-at-all ostentatious IEM’s.
Justin Stafford
I moved into apartments and had to give up my stereo – I’ve had a great u8 for a while but the connectors are loose and I’m thinking it’s time now that one’s fallen and been super glued
Albert Cheng
Got in through Fidue A83 which admittedly hasn’t aged that well.
Samantha Pitet
A pair of bookshelf studio monitor, many years ago; and as for portable audio, my beloved HD600.
The main drive factor? The music, of course!
Vishal Mark Ragbhir
Yooooooo
ernest obiozor
The better the audio the better the music can truly be experienced.
Phillip Holbrook
Canary makes the nicest IEMs I’ve seen based on their aesthetics shown in the article. I’m a pro musician, so true and accurate sound is a must, especially in the studio where IEMs are now more popular than headphones.
Lucerne Loke
Would sure like to try these IEMs. They look nice too!
chris
Wow!
Lim Ivan
Started from Astrotec years ago and found myself wanting, moved on to customs and never looked back!
Mike Dolan
I’ve been doing this since the Walkman, from cassettes, through CDs, MDs, mp3s, Flac, the good, the bad and the ugly. All good harmless fun.
Roshan Vijay
My first ever foray into proper portable audiophile material was Audio-Technica’s ATH-IM70. That was my very first IEM that allowed me to appreciate accurate sound reproduction on the move. I still have it and I still love it, but I’d love to see what a CIEM can offer.
Lee Min Cong
Good luck!
Rafal Mazur
Size aspects on one side, but also sound quality itself although I have not experienced too much with different kind of IEMs until now – which can change at any time 🙂
Good luck to everyone.
Liam O'Callaghan
I got into music during high school and my interest has only skyrocketed since then. I really value all the work and production that goes into making music and good headphones are the best way to appreciate that.
Henry O
What is this madness?! A 2.2K IEM giveaway!? Sign me up!
Chris Phillips
Ah, the irreconcilable paradox: – the eternal quest for the best sound in the universe, within a reasonable budget of course.
CHOOI JIA JIE
My first encounter to headfi/personal audio was when i tried my friend AKG240 studio and grado (cannot recall the model). He then introduced me foobar 2000 with the various formats of music source. Hence, this started my journey into personal audio.
Now i own a pair oriveti new primacy, hifiman 400i, sennheiser hd6xx and meze empyrean.
it would be great if i am able to win the AAW canary as it is the missing part in my collection of personal audio
Jeff Geer
yup..lonely ears over here..
Jeff Geer
from my first pair of koss a few decades back to sennhesier 595.. been loving good sound ..only ever heard one iem and they can only be worn for a couple hours before ear canal hurts
Mike Conway
Blame it on The Beatles. Can I sue?
Michael Vassilev
I’ve always been really into music so when I found out the IEM market exists that was enough for me to spend salary after salary on that entirely. Noble was my gateway drug
Alex G
I started with HiFiMAN RE-600.
Eujenz Bareng
It’s just spontaneous when I started my love for audio. I just remembered browsing through the internet and had a drunk purchase on a 100 dollar IEM which are the biggest upgrade from my 30 dollar one, I don’t know why I bought it but I have no regrets and never looked back on cheap earphones and now I’m continuosly craving for more high-end equipment
Denny
Good luck
Nenad Raic
This is for me just an extension of good home audio!
Jose Reynan Pacardo
This will be a good replacement for my custom iem.
Marek Zrubak
Music got me into good personal audio.
Naveed amin
Good luck everyone.
Luigi Christer Pacana
What got me into good personal audio? when i heared Beats by Dre for the first time in an apple store in NY back in 2007 and realized those free buds that came with my cellphone are a bunch of no goods. later on i also realized those Beats were actually also no good at all lol. its been a long ang nice journey since then
Bojan Imperl
Good luck everyone.
Andy Tang
Loving it! Giveaways!
Kyle Binns
A second hand Fiio X3 (first generation) DAP given to me by a friend.
Indra Yudha Kusuma
I love music. One day I bought a pair of Sony IEM to replace my broken old IEM. The sound quality is much better than any other IEM I had before. That was my gateway to good personal audio world.
Joseph
The good thing about music is you could enjoy it at the price point you could afford. Sure TOTL stuffs exists but that doesn’t mean you have to stop just be because of budget constraints.
Stephan Kreinbucher
Id love to have those 🙂
Samuel Chee Tze Yit
I got into personal audio when I purchased my first earphone (audio technica E70) in a headphone shop after trying various iems.
This got me interested into other earphones/headphones as I wanted to explore other brands’ earphones and headphones to try and find out their difference in sonic characteristics when I listen to music.
Thomas Lee
My father got me into audio at first. He gave me an old pair of Mission 760i’s and explained to me how to setup it up with an old A/V Receiver he had. And they made my music sound so much better than on my phone with some stock earbuds. I started looking for a portable way to get the same kind of fidelity. I started looking at headphones, but I eventually found IEMs from my searches and though they would travel better. I bit the bullet and ordered some Tin T2s that people raved about. Now I am rocking some AR-E10s.
Mikael Gleerup
Well I am a big fan of electrostatic speakers and have enjoyed Quad 2905 for 5 years. I am curious about headfi and would like to see if it is possible to find a IEM that will come close to my Quads. I have tried several “ordinary” sets but I found out that I am picky about comfort so IEM might the choose to enter the competition for the Canary coz I read that it use electrostaic technology. I cross my fingers and hope the set will be sent to me here in Denmark…..thanks 🙂
Siddhartha De
What got me into good audio is that I am a trained musician. So I wanted to hear music as it was meant to be heard.
Rudy Santoso
I’d love to have these earphone!
Andi Kusumah Hidayat
I fell in love to music when im listening solitaire from carpenters. Only using cheap iem, then start growing to want more better sound. Better sounding iem give me more understanding for what the musician try to tell us by their song.
Jester Eusebio
Thanks AAW & Headfonia for these giveaways!!! goodluck ya’ll
Kyle
Sounds like a great IEM!
Eero Vuorinen
I attended an expo with a hifi room when I was a kid and that was the start of this hobby. The movie playing in the setup was either Matrix or Deep Blue Sea
Raúl B.
Hi HF!
What got me into portable audio, I’d say it`s convenience married with great SQ.
The fact that some iems or ciems provide SQ comparable to great full size cans, and you can take them anywhere without bothering the people around you is awesome.
To the point that I recently sold my over-ear headphones and I only use iems.
Now I need this AAW Canary to finally hear a high end iem 🙂
Thanks!
Francesco Trozzi
I got into high quality audio when I purchased my first decent headphones: the Sennheiser HD518.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Attila Kovacs
Thank you for the giveaway, and good luck to everyone!
Anthony Lee
I got to know this through friend’s recommendation. My friend has a hobby of getting to know music.
Francesco Siviero
I just use my hidisz ap60 pro, happy with that, and some IEM (kz, aiaiai) and audio technica m50x
Shaun Phua Wee Jin
I used to use cheap $30 earphones, but they only lasted a month each. Being fustrated for the lackluster quality of these kind of IEMs, I decided to spend more for better quality IEMs starting off with the RHA t10i. Great build quality and lasted me a solid 3 years, and I thought the sound quality was decent till I tried more IEMs… And thus my wallet stayed empty ever since.
Kah Yen
I’d like to sport a pair of customs especially one from my home country! I’ve always thought it was wonderful that a company like AAW can breakout in a crowded market, and I can’t wait to see it grow further!
Suhail Yusufzai
Few years back a friend of mine gifted me a decent music system and introduced me to Jazz music. From then on, till date the quest for perfect sound and audio geres is on… Simply itching to get my hands on ‘AAW Canary’ *** fingers crossed ????
Golea Andrei Cosmin
OK….let’s win this 🙂
Eu Kit Kuan
What got me into personal audio gear was funnily enough a trip to a Bose shop in the States and surprised by how decent audio gears could sound so much better then generic earbuds, and that got me researching into headfi back home and here I am now… With a much much thinner wallet…
George
Pretty crazy
Ben Parker
They look like precious stones! I love personal audio because you can really hear what the mix is doing in the stereo image, and nobody else can, but you!
Denver Anthony Rosete
At first I thought Apple earpods is the best one out there since it has the label, but man! When my friend let me try his KZ Zs6, i was surprised and start then I am hook in seeking audio gears 😀
Baris Kara
Best
Jens Walther
I had a great desire to understand the lyrics of the songs i liked most.. With the gear I had first this was not possible. I invested a little and got hooked by so much more than lyrics it started to become a part of my everyday life.
Pat
If only….
Keith Yu
I joined the Head-Fi world around 5 years and always think of the CIEM. I just tried the AAW Canary in Hong Kong and I would say the AAW Canary CIEM would be the perfect match to my Astell & Kern SP1000M Royal Gold.
Rhyan Paolo Paderanga
I got into good personal audio through Grado 80’s. They are just so good with acoustic music that I ventured out and looked for headphones/earphones that realizes realistic strumming.
Simon Whyte
Custom iems!
Oliver
I’ve been curious about electrostatic drivers in IEMs for a while and would really looks forward to trying these.
luis
It looks like a real gem
Julian Li
Desire for the life………. Good luck everyone!
Pavel KELBL
I guess Koss Porta Pro did, waay back – when you hear what difference can paying extra do from some no-names packed along with a phone, you become curious what difference can paying some more extra do 🙂 . And then all of a sudden, you’re lost 😀 .
Oh and did I mention it’s my birthday next week? 😉
gabriele tonini
Canary forever and ever…
Christopher McKendrick
The need to mix and produce music for my bands, and the time constraints imposed by commuting and my job, meaning I had to start mixing tracks on the train to work, plus a need for In Ear Monitoring at gigs led me to get more heavily interested in high quality portable audio.
David Escamilla
What led me to a good personal audio was to know the limits of audio quality. Where is the top? How far and until when will the audio evolve? We will never know because there will always be many new and better.
Andrew Roland
Two roads that meet at nurturing high quality sound and keeping out the noise.
Gary Harris
Rolling forward optimistically – things keep improving and life is full of second chances!
David Martín González
Good luck to everyone
Wong Pok Wai Bovey
It would be a very nice addition to be added to my IEM collection!
Lee Boon Ray
Had a friend who introduced me to my first pair of earbuds, never knew they would sound so much better than the stock ones. Then I got curious myself and started researching more on audiophiliac stuff and I have been thoroughly poisoned since. Do not yet have the purchasing power to get an IEM such as this so it would be brilliant if I won it!
Jason Ho
A well balanced iem and I love it
Jason Ho
Love the mids and clarity of this iem
Wong kit wa
god bless hk
Matheus Faria Silva

James Roberts
Great sounding is the goal, this is a dream beyond budget!

I think I saw a puss … a canary.
Come here little birdy… ????
Graham LK
Peace and quiet from the world.
Jimmy Ngai
Looking forwards
Eric Johnson
Thanks for the opportunity!
Adrian Budasz
I love music so why should I listen to it on some poor quality audio equipment. That one looks good enough 😉
Mark Joshua Rodel
AAW is a great brand of CIEMs. I hope i can win this one.
Canary looks cool btw. AAW IS THE BEST!
Phillip Li
I got into personal audio since my uncle bought me a pair of shure se535 back in 2010.
zamilka
AAW-TCH ! What a generous prize ! Please leave me this one !
Stephen L Roberts
I got into personal audio in college when I needed my audio on the go more often than not. Managed to save enough to get a sennheiser ie80
David Nelson
I found myself just playing to CDs as background music and not really listening to the music.
Cheng Puhua
My friends
Sean Chng
Since young, I’ve always enjoyed music, but what really got me into personal audio was being the sound guy for my church. From that point on, I was hooked!
Pierre Duduche
So nice !! The dream for precise music.
Frank Zhang
Here’s to hoping
Chu Jin An
I want to hear really good quality music
Jose Rodríguez Ventura
Sony MD players got me into personal audio. I still miss the form factor, even if it wasn’t as convenient as modern Walkmans.
Peter Williams
My ears are my guide
MattiaTisi
It’s my birthday
Rosemary Carty
AAW, Shucks. This is what it’s all about.
Goran Milic
because i love music….
Ridho Mohammad
song is my soul. i listen songs every day
Scott Brown
maybe mondays aren’t so bad
Eric
What got me into personal audio? Why, music, of course!!! When I was 9 or 10, I would put on The Beatles, ELO, or Chicago and fall asleep. Now, 40 years later, I do the same thing. Life without music would be horrible!!!
Billy Sucipto
The first thing that got me into this toxic (for my wallet) hobby is when I first borrowed my dad’s walkman cassette player in Summer, 1990 (yeah you read it right, cassette). Fell in love with music right on the spot. So, I have been feeding the monster that’s been growing inside me since 30 years ago.
Walkman, CD player, MD player, you name it.
It’s never enough for me. That is why, the AAW Canary is mine.
Peter Invan
These would be a treat!

After testing a relatively “good” gear, the venerable SE846, knew I had to find out more about this audiophile thing.
Jirat K
Oh-ho very interesting.
Yusran Oktavianda
What got me into good personal audio was Headfonia when I was looking for best budget IEM under $200
Josh Harris
Minidiscs got me into headphones, which probably dates me a bit.
Joe H.
Great give away
Anthony
Hope I’m picked! Would be my first pair of custom IEMs.
Ivan Rodríguez
I like it!!!!
Ezequiel Koren
I’m just getting started with Hi-Fi audio. I was buying guitar picks at a store and there was an isle I’ve never looked at before, it was full of headset demos. First one I tried I fell in love, it played a song that I knew very well, so I immediately noticed how live the song sounded. It was balanced, and I could trick my ears into listening every instrument by it’s own thanks to their separation. I had the luck that what I tried was the AKG K52, which at $40 they were just inside my student budget, so without hesitation I picked them up. Now I’m trying to get as much information about headphones and IEMs as I can, and to get my hands on as many of them as I can afford. $2k IEMs are obviously out of the question when it comes to budget, but it would be really nice to get to know how those sound
Aditya
Good luck deh
Adi Jaspal
Got a decent LG phone. Loved the audio. Jumped into the rabbit hole of research. Took a plunge with the 6xx. Loved it even more, trying now to get a decent amp dac. Being in college and having absolutely no money doesn’t help either.
Alex Rivera
I used to travel for business and music kept me sane while flying and waiting for connections as well as focused and free from distractions
Jonathan Shirts
I got into good personal audio by listening to my uncles’ stereo at my grandparents’ house when I was about 10 or 11. I would just lay back on one of the beds in their room and just enjoy the music. I didn’t appreciate how good their setup was until I would get back home and be forced to listen on my crappy clock radio.

Hell yeah!

Can’t wait to up my personal audio game with the AAW Canary I am about to win. Good luck and thanks.

Lucky!

The humble creative EP 630 caught my attention and I realised “Wow, there’s a whole new world here” from there it was a few Sony’s then the Shure SE215 and then the rabbit hole got real deep real dark fast.
Monica Gunther
My friend is an audio designer and he always comments on what I use…He would be so impressed to see these (and probably want them for himself)!

audio review is 1 of the things I enjoy the most, it will be fantastic if I can review this on my channel.

I have a persistent need to always be surrounded by music wherever I go and have discovered early on that it’s most impactful when heard through high quality gear.

I’m in! Good sound is my name. Thanks!
Sean Herbie Chua
I used random buds i found. the first decent bud i used was the cx300-ii by sennheiser way back in 2010. my dad told me that they sounded good. afterwards, when i tried them on, they spoiled my ears and cannot used the cheap tin sounding brandless buds. those sounded lacking. now, i am using the andromeda by ca and am planning to create a review page in facebook. wish i could add the AAW canary to it. if AAW does read my comment, hope you can reach me through any social media or email. would love to try any AAW pair.
Akarawin Hongdusit
I fly a lot and I hate baby noises so IEMs here we go.

This one is definitely a fine iem.
Thijs Olgers
Good personal audio, for me that started when my dad broke my earbuds for the so manieth time and he told me to choose a pair up to 100 euros I believe, I chose the Shure SE215 and never looked back.
Now I am dreaming and looking at 1000 to 3000 euro IEMs headphones and various other audio related gear. The ‘audiophile’ virus got me good, luckily my wife supports me in this, so thats some amazing luck to begin with 🙂
Cleon Tan
Always been really interested in E-stat earphones.Id be thrilled to be lucky enough to get the Canary’s!
Michael Chan
Really looking forward to this. Saw the review on this site a while back and now it’s finally up for grabs!
Ian Tan
I first got into great personal audio when a store near my house was doing demos of the q-Jays – I fell in love with these the first time I heard them. I have since spent about half my life with my iems on, all from a chance encounter out of curiosity.
I come from Malaysia / Singapore and it’s so encouraging to see some home talent really shine! Going into a Masters soon, I haven’t had the money for a while to purchase any TOTL iems. I loved the signature of the W900s at a demo and this pair would be a dream to have!
Joshua Slone
My dad was the one who got me into high end audio back when I was a kid. His Infinity home speakers set a standard, and we would often visit the local hifi shop and listen to the McIntosh and B&W set ups. I actually got into headphones before he did, and introduced him to that aspect of the hobby with a pair of Tin T2 Pro’s and a Schiit Fulla. Sharing this hobby with my dad has helped our relationship over the years, and I can’t wait to get some Purplehearts on his grape hehe
Andre Birrenbach
Look forward to use it with my dragonfly.

As a kid playing trombone in musically rich New Orleans to sonic quality control at Motown in the 80’s and 90’s I’ve always had a ‘good’ ear and a quest for high-end audio.

The time I ditched my old speakers for a decent pair.
Daniel Pudvay
My interest in good headphones and started just recently. I’ve always enjoyed music played on a good hifi system, but usually it was a stereo with speakers in a room set up for it. Life changes no longer make it possible for me to have a dedicated listening room, so the search is now for good sound from headphones.
Bihui
I always wanted to get a CIEM of a more professional level but I wasn’t able to afford it.
I hope to win this and this would probably
Help me get closer into pursuing a music career professionally !

If these sound ½ as good as they look, someone is in for a real treat! I hope it’s me but good luck to all!
Francisco Urteaga
I´ve always loved music, since I have memory, I´ve always been listening.
When I started earning my own money, one of the first things I bought were Bose´s QuietConfort, about 10 years ago, and I loved them, I heard things in music my Ipod earpods didn´t quite catch, I saved some more and bought Bose´s SoundLink III and tought I was listening to the pinnacle of audio, I used to come home from work and listen to jazz on them on bluetooth, and I really tought there was nothing better.
Until one day I tought; there must be something better out there, so I searched on the internet and the first thing I saw were Grados and their open back design which was completly new to me. I kept investigating, and came to find this website, I started reading a lot of reviews and my inicial budget grew from $200 USD to $1,000 USD, I finally decided to buy HiFiMan H400i and a FiiO X5ii, plus a small bulb amp, all thanks to Liven´s reviews.
I completly fell in love with the system, but now I was shure there was more out there to listen to. Since then I´ve bought Seinnheiser hadphones and earphones, Onkyo DAC´s and Elac and KEF loudspeakers.
I´m looking to upgrade my “on the go” gear and I´d love to have some CIEM´s but recently bought an appartement and bought all the furniture so it´s impossible to make this investment.
Please choose me 🙂
Oleg Khlebnov
wow!
just want it

I’ve been into music all my life and having the ability to listen to good quality music while on the go, in planes, trains, etc. allows me to enjoy more time with this hobby than I could otherwise afford.

I’m an entertainer in Alaska and use an in ear monitor but not real happy with them. Hope to win a pair as I’ve heard great things about this product.

What got me into personal audio?
Its like this.. every person taste of music/song is different, and playing via portable loudspeaker or via home audio can disturb other..
So its nice we can afford happines when listen to the music/song with amazing sensation via high end personal audio gear
Josue Lopez
Another nice giveaway. Good luck everyone

My daughter keeps breaking her cheap ones. So these would be nice for her, qood quality
Donald Maloney
Are we there yet?
Li Yi Hui
How I really got into this personal music was when I just got really sick of muddy and bad music from speakers, because it takes more effort such as acoustically treating a room, etc. to make them sound good. I first started out with a normal gaming headset, but that was when I really fell in love with personal music. I gave me a whole new sense of Music, and I was amazed by the amount of detail. This, I decided to buy a SE215 for my everyday commute, and never regretted this decision. If I could win this IEM, it would be a huge step up from my current setup, and would make my music listening experience ten times better. I have always heard of friends who have 2BA and 3BA and Hybrid, but never really knew how amazing it sounded like.
Maarten Schneider
I saw the Sennheiser HE-1 in a shop in Amsterdam. It’s look got me interested and the owner let me try it and showed me a lot of other Headphones in his collection. I could not listen to the ones I owned at this moment anymore and started to look for better ones.
Kenny Lim
Started when I ws a kid, dad had hifi setup. Grew up wanting good audio as well

I used to own a beats tour in sencondary school, then I heard my friend’s sennheiser mx500 for the first time and it changed my life

Karen P.
I’ve always been a music junkie. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect headphones and/or earbuds. I not only listen to music, but I create music. I would absolutely love to give these a try, so thank you for holding this giveaway! 🙂
Paula García

Nice iem!
Chris Kelly
My dad sat me down in front of his Sonos Faber Venere 2.5s and a Peachtree nova300. This got me deep in. He makes me listen to them more now and then, and i think the highs are a little forward and harsh lol.
Edward
The first stuff that got me into audio was purchase of Klipsch s4, then saw myself spent whooping $300 for Klipsch X10 Seriously , the s4 was blowing apple earbud back then
Pornsith Jirathamopas
Shure se530 stunning me since that time been using it for 10 more years I think it’s time to step into something better ^^
Mark Wood
I used to use a Sansa Clip modded with Rockbox, to have access to better equalizer/interface settings. The games were kinda cool too. Battery life was nice, and the thing is compact. I got my first for around 25$
They stopped making them and I figured, time to upgrade. I now have Cowon Plenue D, and headphone amp. I really love it. It makes meditating so much nicer.
Headphones do make a difference, so would really love to try the Canary set. KZ brand are not bad but could be better. Happy Mid-Summer!
Cyrus Tadena
I guess I’m only just getting into it as in the past I didn’t have the money to buy good personal audio, but I really love music so I felt it was natural that I should buy myself decent audio devices, but it didn’t last long as someone stole them, so this giveaway would do me very well.
Good luck everyone!
Mathew Leung
Ultimate ears TF10pro together with the ipod 1st gen lead me the way into IEM music listening heaven!
Scott
I’ve been hooked since my first pair of Shure IEMs many years ago.
Pablo Chaves
Great work as always!
Realizing that, even though I love music, I was almost not listening to music at all. Cheap equipment was to blame… that’s what got me into personal audio…
Alvin
Give me! Give me!!
Tom Carscallen
Sony Eggos (D66s) were the first proper headphone I had, bought specially on a trip to Japan because they weren’t available in Australia
Sounded amazing and so comfortable! Wish they were still available because my pair accidentally ended up in a cardboard compactor years later T_T R.I.P.
Nikit
A personal audio experience is something that has been sought out since the dawn of humanity. Having an IEM of this caliber would allow me say “I have lived”
Phong Ngo
The AAW A3H Pro was my first CIEM. Although I’ve moved onto “better,” you never forget your first.
BHAK
AAW is a very Great product hopefully lucky enough to win this giveaway
Graham
i would love a pair of these, so i will enter this giveaway
Piroska
These look fantastic! It wasn’t until I got older that I appreciated good sound. Too many years of listening to music with crap headphones/stereos/speakers has left me craving music as it should be heard.
Ergin Kesgin
About 18 years ago, I had to stay in hospital for 2 months for some long treatment. My lovely classmates, knowing that I had the habit of sleeping with a pair of giant Sony vintage speakers next to my bed with music on higher volume than what could be considered “healthy”, passed the hat around the classroom and bought me a Sony DD30 Walkman from the flea market, along with a pair of Sony E818LP earbuds. They also secretly had my high-school crush make 10 ninety-minute long mixtapes from the CD archive of her father. (He was at first a bit protective of his collection but recommended a few songs here and there during the copying process and inadvertently led to my admiration of, pun not intended, Led Zeppelin). It was early 2000s, I wasn’t fluent in English yet and printing stuff was still expensive, so she found all the lyrics for the songs in the mixtapes online and handwrote them all in a notebook for me. What was supposed to be a 2-month nightmare in hospital turned into a teenage paradise for me.
I still regret, (though with a smile on my face) two things to this day:
1) Not buying more of those cheap E818LPs before they went out of production, as, for the price, they had such a nice, mature sound and,
2) Not keeping in touch and eventually asking that beautiful girl to marry me. I mean, who writes 200+ pages of lyrics by hand for someone?
Deni Setiawan
Delicate good, its an eareplacable
Jae Haan Yong
Congratulation Simon Slavik!
What got me into good personal audio was when i studied music in college.
I understood the importance of having gears to hear everything single thing that is going on during production.
My last piece of IEM just broke. and AAW will really save my life.
Deon Lee
What got me into good portable audio was i think my love for music, i’d always traveled to school, studied, and went about most of my day listening to music, and I just LOVED being in my own world, which led me to seek out earphones, headphones, whatever that could just allow me to immerse myself and be drawn into the music. So yeah, I love music and I hope I can win these.
Tse Hung Pan
What got me into personal audio was selling Beats at the airport, I started exploring more online and reading sites like headfonia.
Michael Jones
After all these years of blasting music in my ears. Im starting to develop a taste or more of want in hearing the music as it was intended. Now its beginning be a level like wine drinkers are to their drink. Music is becoming a listening art. I’ll be honored to receive a pair and become a life long customer to you guy.
Joachim Do
Gotta support my local iem brand! Mad props to aaw.
Will Choi
As a kid, my family couldn’t afford a lot of toys. I ended up rewiring my dad’s stereo system over and over again, changing the placement of the components and optimizing the interconnects. We didn’t have many cassette tapes, so I ended up using Scotch tape to cover up the missing tab on old Disney cassettes so that u could record the radio.
Fast forward to today, I get a feeling of nostalgia when I listen to my headphones after my kids have gone to sleep. It’s the one hobby that I have and can enjoy without waking those little cutie pie demons.
I hope to be able to imprint my love of music on my kids because it’s always been a touchstone in my life. Tracks I haven’t heard in a long time always take me back to memories long forgotten. It’s like you can write down the history of a life in a playlist, albeit in my case a very long and boring one.
Michael Wasend
A Sony Walkman cassette player in the 90’s was all that helped me sleep every night as a wound up child. Hooked ever since.

I started with an AIWA “walkman” and phones. I recorder songs from the radio them played them back on the “walkman”, when I wanted, when I needed them. Now we are spoiled with what is available.
Tim Groves
One day about 8 years ago I realised 2 things.
1) I can’t afford to upgrade my LP12
2) Most of my listening is done away from my main home stereo.
I got a better phone, decided to try to find better headphones to use at work, found Head-Fi.
8 years later after a room full of DAPs, Amps DACs and headphones I now know getting true high end sound on the move is achievable and affordable, especially compared to a Linn Keel!
Christopher Salazar
Hope i can win this finally
lee
best of luck to everyone
Jim Carpenter
It was a lovely leap from mp3 to Flac and from cheap earphones to the good stuff. Happy to make your acquaintance along the way.
David Chen
I got into good personal audio as a result of both my musical career and my interest in computers/building/modding them as a teen. As per usual, the gamer side of me gave way to the classic M50x’s followed by the Sennheisers. Linus, HardwareCanucks and them lot definitely paved the way and HeadFi, you guys, Zeos etc nailed it in the coffin (my everlasting broke-ness from audio equipment that is)

i got into personal audio since 2009, part of the reason is i can’t take my home audio equipment while i’m in college because i live in dorm…it’s been 10 years since the beginning, from a pair of Hippo’s to few pair of Noble’s but never once i tried AAW…hope this is my chance…????

Daniel Schröder
I got an MP3 player and my first headphones as a kid for Christmas and have never looked back. I do enjoy listening some music together with someone who also loves music over good speakers, but nothing beats having your own studio listening room / concert hall while being on the bike, lying under a tree or staring into a stormy night on a beach.

I guess it just happened every time I upgraded from an old pair of earphones, I would noticed an improvement in audio quality. This got me to look into better and better audio gear.
Edward Huxley
More music, better quality, better headsets, I have over 500gb of flac files in a DAP with a choice of several different headsets. Life is good, and getting better!
Douglas Campbell
I got into music because of REM’s murmur, a NAD 3020PE, and a pair of infinity rsb’s.
Orcun Solmaz
It started with Tove Lo Habits song.
Leong Deng Yong
I started to get into head-fi when my headphone earbud broke. Bought a pair of Grado as a replacement without any much thought. Then started spiraling into a never ending rabbit hole of diy-er and head-fi collector.
Alex Vanderpol
I just really love listening to music, been buying and trying a bunch of budget IEMs with great reviews to see what the hype is all about and have found some stuff I really like. Something like this is definitely outside my budget, but it would be interesting to see what something worth 10 times what I’ve ever spent on IEMs sounds like.
Tom Robbins
wow…..these are as good as it gets? Maybe? This is the kind of thing that gets me excited again about stepping up a notch, many notches in this case.
JOJO
Great. It will be mine in the next few days, i hope

Goodluck everyone.
Ath-m50 is what got me into personal audio. Although it’s an entry level headphone, it showed me the possibilities of what a headphone can do to music.

Dragan Kostić
I was working in a state agency, and we had free phone calls so at the end of the working day I was so bored that I would call random people from my phone contacts literally, not proud but hey, that’s what happened.
Phoned a childhood friend that I haven’t heard for ages, he told me that he has his own recording studio (it was no surprise since we’re always were into music back in the day). Alongside he mentioned that he’s waiting for a kick ass studio headphone that costs 400 Euro. I went ” aaa shit man, I can’t believe that such a headphone even exist” it was back in 2008. Said that he could get one for me for 150 Euro since he already bought a ton of equipment for his studio from the same guy. It was the AKG K702 which sucked me right in to this hobby. I was rocking the seven-o-two ’till 2014 when I bend the coil pins so hard during hardwire mod that I lost one driver.
It’s been a decade, but I’m still hooked just because of that random phone call.
Jordan MacHattie
What got me into this hobby is being able to experience my favorite songs again and again through different sources, amps, iems/headphones.

Great giveaway! I got into good personal audio when my cheap pair of earbuds broke, after which I started looking into IEMs. Not long after that, the need to get good quality IEMs arose when I started to play on stage in a band with my cello, and this would be a perfect upgrade to my current IEMs.
Celine Thai
These look like beautiful iems and really nice to see AAW rising through the ranks! I got into audio when I listened to my friend’s cans and heard things I’d never heard before in my music!
I’ve never looked back since and getting the Canary’s would be amazing.
Akil Doruk YILMAZ
Fingers crossed. This time I really mean it.

My first step into audio was a pair of AKG K317 about 12 years ago. Unlike many people here I’m not a musician or audio engineer, but simply interested in sound and music. Through the years I’ve upgraded my gears numerous times and I’ve always had this urge to explore how music could sound differently

I got into high end audio by reading peoples descriptions of their systems and chains. The vivid depictions and genuine excitement got me interested in hearing what they were hearing.
Ryan Wiebe
I got into good portable audio because I have young kids and the only time I get to enjoy my music is while they are sleeping. Unfortunately that is also the time to get things done around the house. Hence portable audio 🙂
Don Puckett
Good sound with portability and affordability… though these are a luxury one wishes for.
Cassandra Ho
TOTL iems are very expensive and not everyone (myself included) has a chance of owning one, so I guess this is my only shot of getting my hands on one!
Rafael Adonay Tinajero San Emeterio
I got in personal audio for practical issues:
You can have many sound systems in tiny packages 🙂
Anderson Yamamoto
Reading about the Hifiman RE0 and then finding out the reviewers were right is what got me into portable audio!
Evaldas Četyrkovskis
I bough my first IEMs when I needed comfortable detachable earbuds to sleep with (I have hard time without those) and I reaaally liked them. Afterwards I’ve got a better pair for music on the go.
I really appreciate good quality (both sound & looks) and AAW Canary would be such an upgrade from what I have – not something I could get myself 🙂
Grant Moy
Thank you Headfonia and AAW for such an awesome chance.
My portable audio journey started when I was in school for the majority of the day, everyday. At home I had plenty of silence to focus on what I was doing, but this was not so on campus. Portable audio was a great way to escape from the many distractions while coding in a school environment. Even after graduating I’ve been trying to find pieces to finish that “perfect” setup (HA! if that could ever happen) to bring along anywhere I go.
Good Luck to all and loving the stories people are sharing.

IO got started when I had to travel to Asia for Work. Different music there aththe time. Startd with a Walkman, then MiniDisc, Then MP3 players or all types. Now have a few DAP’s, some DAC/Amps. Mostly “mid-fi”, bit way more that I ever thought I’d spend. And so much better sound quality that that old walkman; that at the time I though was fantastic !
umut pehlivan
that looks sick!
Don Lee
Read the review on the focal sphear s recently, since I was looking for a portable inexpensive in-ear to take with me on vacation. Was spot on and am enjoying them. If I was able to beat the odds and win these, curious to see how much of a difference these will make! Keep up the wonderful job and I look forward to reading future reviews!!
Andrew Dostal
What an odd looking device. neat
William C Karcher
It would be nice to win , I could really use them !
Mark Purcell
I got into iems as running support. I have some Jabra 65 for running. These would be lovely for walking and sitting back enjoying not running.
Steve Fisher
I’ve moved on from static big home audio to small portable personal audio, is it a coincidence that I always seem to be on the move. I’m happy the gadgets just keep on getting better. These are very cool!
Noel Smith
Akio Morita got me started. Where will it all end? Brain transplants? In the meantime, these will do the trick.
Glen Whitman
I had an MD player, thought it was the coolest thing at the time, those lovely little mini discs were so much more convenient than CDs. Now we are streaming, discless, with high end headphones or thousands of cds in a DAP.
Brian Stevens
I spend a hellavalotta time commuting on crowded trains. As personal space gets smaller inner space needs to expand. These are fine looking inner space expanders.
Neo Hock Kheng
I came into this world just as I began working from home. Stumbled upon Innerfidelity back then and now, i’m in too deep
Catherine Sullivan
Super Prize. I started with a Walkman and the cheapest earphones ever, it would be very fine to end up with these!
Pamela Emerson
I got the religion, the addiction, when I acquired some Shure SE535 and realised that good is better.
Lena Rogers
The end of history!
Tomoko Yoshida
Seeing so many different IEMS, Bluetooth buds and Headphones popping up like mushrooms got me curious. Now I’m in, there is no escape! Thanks for a great giveaway, here’s hoping.
Lars Normelius
Whats better than chucking in some IEM and drifting away from the world for a bit. Its my version of a personal heaven.
Jenny Seymour
AAW AWESOME! Let’s do this!
Dewei Hii
Omg!! This is crazy giveaway!! My dream item!
Sue Jones
! WOW ! These are the tops! Bob Marley was my first love. Been loving music ever since. Jamming!

I got into this expensive but rewarding hobby through some hand me downs from my older brother.
Kevin Reed
When I was small I used to get up after bedtime and listen to records with headphones in the dark. Dark Side of the Moon was spooky and sublime. Now when I close my eyes listening to music lying on a sofa in a different country 30 years later I think I’m trying to recapture that feeling. It’s a kind of magic.
Ron Brown
Sing like a canary! These are gorgeous and must sound great! Throw my name in the hat, near the top 😉 Fantastic prize for someone who started out with ipod earphones.
Matt Jones
Long ago I was lucky enough to spend long hours practicing on a beautiful piano. It taught me that a well crafted, premium work of art is a far cry from your average run-of-the-mill everyday object. Beauty and indifference. I feel the same way now about personal audio equipment. You always deserve better.
Jon Campbell
I have slowly but surely gotten better gear over the years, largely at the behest of my folks, who like this kind of thing and tech. in general, they have always been early adopters of gadgets like a BBC computer and Amstrad! So this could be the culmination of a very interesting journey – I don’ know anyone who wouldn’t want electrostatic super tweeters in their ears! Look forward to the draw!
Dave Hill
Noisy neighbours got me into personal audio – the relief of noise cancellation.
Nicole Palmer
These look extraterrestrial – hit me up ET! I came into this via good music and poor headphones. Friends gear opened up another world to me.
Kee Chee Wen
Sounds have always fascinated me but I only been in the audio-hobby for about 2 years and slowly building up my equipment. I am not only a fan of music and audio mixing but also the technologies behind it and the AAW Canary premised of technologies alone is a very interesting product to me. I personally haven’t have the chance to listen to it yet but do like for an opportunity to listen to it.
Kate Greene
They match my eyes, they are made for me! All my gear is basically black or silver. Cosmetics apart they have an exceptional spec. I love personal audio because it is personal. It keeps the bad vibes out and keeps the good vibes in. You have got to look after your vibes. They are all we have got. That and our precious bodily fluids. You Kubrick fans out there will know what I mean.
Valerie Jenkins
These look nice and minty!! I love music first, then books, then movies. Then swimming!! Mind Body Balance folks. I owe my love of music to my parents who both play, guitar and piano, not so well, but better than me. Good luck everyone.
Mark Wilson
Personal audio is a sensory enrichment tank. Plug me in and let me float away. Can’t imagine life without a soundtrack. It’s an essential ingredient. Love it. This is a cracking prize! Whoever wins is a very lucky person.
Mark Wilson
I love the design but Canary? Shouldn’t these be yellow? Or am I seeing green with envy? Are they the canary in a coalmine, or goldmine? Anyway, enough of that. I started with vinyl and a big fat pair of headphones in the 70s. I think the headphones were made by Ross. I just loved that feeling of enclosing my head in music. Thanks to AAW and Headfonia for a superb giveaway.
Noah DeKok
The Zune. Just kidding, kinda
Sue McGrath
Once upon a time, I had a sandisk player, that is the beginning of a very long story that brought me here.
Vicky Chapman
I am always looking for a better gadget. Now, I am looking at the FiiO M11. These would compliment it very nicely.
Tim Henderson
Things that look as pretty as these…
Syafiq S
As a public accountant working around the clock, listening to music is the only time i get to isolate my ears and indulge myself into the realm of peace. Having a good portable audio allows me to enjoy the technicalities behind every beat and sound and also enable me to do work with utmost productivity and joy.
Roman Sergeevich Roy
It would be really nice to win these beautiful IEM.
Canary’s graph looks very good also
Aulia Rizki
AAW was my first CIEM. Wanna see how far they goes
Cataldo Basile
…at a certain point, when I was a child, I discovered that there was much more music in the music I was listening to…
Nathan Smith
I’ve been climbing the audio mountain, enjoying the sights and sounds, is this the peak?
Steve Woods
Music is an ocean, I am a fish!
Neil Evans
ibasso got me hooked. there is a lot of good stuff out there. look forward to discovering more.
Paul Simmons
Jeez, I dunno how many players and headsets I’ve had. Worn out, broken, lost, given away. This is a mighty fine IEM. I started out with junk, so great to end up with treasure.
YU KAI YIN
What got me into good personal audio? The reasons are that:
“C”ombination of different Head-Fi Gears for better listening experience
“A”ppreciate all genres of high quality music anytime and anywhere
“N”ew innovation and technology for all Head-Fi Gears are attractive
“A”nalyse and share different Head-Fi listening experience with people
“R”eproduce the true music by the affordable Head-Fi Gears
“Y”earn to find out the perfect match of the latest Head-Fi Gears
Inaki Lauzirika
Looking forward to discovering new sound signatures. Already had Westones, FiiOs, iBassos, RHAs, MD+, so eager to be able to taste something different.
Karen Lee
What really got me going was visiting a huge hifi store with endless head gear from names I had never heard of. It was a real eye and ear opener. I had an epiphany listening to Cannonball Adderley’s Something Else. I didn’t know the name of the track. It’s well named. This appears to be an ultra IEM. It looks like like green lunar rocks, kinda cool, unexpected, like seeing blue ice at the Antarctic.
Pat Nolan
It all started for me with a birthday present, a pair of Shure SE315, that was some years ago. Recent Breaking News – I’ve broken my over the ear headphones! A Freudian banana skin? Which way to go next? I will wait until Monday before I decide. You never know!
Ondrej Cerny
They look really good. Nice color!
Kathleen Walker
A green canary, not a parrot? These are way above my pay grade. I am still experimenting in the hundreds of dollars, not thousands. I started with Sennheiser, am currenty using Sony wireless, noise cancelling and am looking into more exotic brands.
Zaurbek Kalazhokov
Thank you!
Val Hayes
Personal audio started for me with Radiohead’s Kid A and a Discman, back in 2000.
Interesting review for the Canary, everybody has different tastes, and there are so many flavours available, I’d like to try these for myself. Hearing is Believing 🙂
Now, where is that Discman?!
Kevin Jacques
Always loved music ever since I was a child. Got really deep into headphones, speakers & everything Hi-Fi recently about a year ago and this hobby has completely taken over. Would love to add these to my ever growing collection.
Dwayne Cheung
Have always loved portable audio, however selection and opportunity was abysmal where I grew up. Around 7 years ago, after I moved to Asia, I had owned a pair of Klipsch S4i (which was reasonable given my financial status). My then girl friend (now wife) had gave me a pair of Klipsch X7i as a Christmas present. Though I now own earphones and headphones which are nicer I still have the X7i’s kept as a memento.
Carol Ash
I have a box of goodies, a bit of a history of my audio purchases, all sorts of things, some still used, some obsolete. If I win this super cool giveaway maybe I can chuck the lot out!
Claire Trainor
Ommmm…..Ommmmm……….Ommmmmm……..trying to keep calm. Roll on Monday! These will reset my personal audio history. I’m a pretty recent convert. Everybody’s got some, I thought, why not me?
Julien Fardel
Nice vinyl cover from Moderat displayed on the last page 🙂 audio and music are with me since 1987… a long and beautiful journey.
I would be really happy to get my hands on the Canarys, it would be a great way to hear and possess a TOTL IEM in order to complete a life dedicated to music
Marcin Macoch
What got me into portable audio is love to music and job change. I’ve lost access to company’s car and started to walk to my new office.
Emma James
Big speakers to headphones, CDs to DAP, everything has gone small and portable in my audio world. The quality of my gear has improved and expanded in step with my pay checks.
Nick Brown
Music made me do it.
Jenny Talbot
The pied piper has lured me in and out of audio stores and all over the internet. It’s fun, I’m enjoying it.
Daniel Klingele
„Music was my first love and it will be my last …“ now also on the way to and from work or business trips.
Goran Ilic
Got my 1st DAP was a iPod classic as Bday gift 15 years ago and that how it started :).
This is a great giveaway, would be nice to have it.
Thank you very much for this.
Mark Richards
Music moves me to make expensive purchases that improves the quality of the music that moves me to make expensive purchases that improves the quality of the music that ……. only my bank manager can pull the plug on this cycle. Or perhaps this prize can break the chain!
Patrick Lynch
Yo
Jonathan Baker
The need to have a similar experience when traveling drove my need for quality portable audio!
Goh Eng Han
Good luck!
LIEW JIAN SHENG
This will be my first ES iem!!!
Jonathan Jeraul M. Libante
And the new!
Douglas Grimmer
I would say that my love of music and desire to enjoy and appreciate it without distractions is what got me into personal audio.
Brian
looks great!
jax bailey
I love music to relax, study and get myself motivated!
MARTINA
Good luck to everyone.
Kevin Neville
I’ve listened to and appreciated music for as long as I can remember – getting the most enjoyment that I can from my music, whether I’m in my living room, my office, my car, or waking my dog, has always been important to me. These IEMs would go a long way to accomplishing that!
Manuel Argueso
I got into high good personal audio when i discovered details unheard before and the timbre of voices and strings.
Hope i will be lucky, if they sound as outstanding as they look, they must be incredible!
Chris K
Can’t imagine what $2200 IEMs would sound like! I’d love to find out for free! Thanks for the opportunity.
Ronen Weiss
beuties
Lidson Mendes
I’ve been in the audiophile hobby for a long time, and a Custom AAW would be awesome.
Richard Toh
I got into personal audio because sometimes we don’t have the time to sit down in a quiet living room, away from distractions to listen to our home audio setup.
Personal audio is convenient, portable, and can be of high quality.
Martin Duffy
I fell down the rabbit hole listening to David Bowie on huge chunky headphones in a noisy house. Now, I’m in my own house with small, discreet iems, still listening to David Bowie though.
Joe Cameron
Great to have consistent high quality sound wherever you are, whatever the circumstances. My first taste was many years ago, with a pair of earbuds made by a company I think was called One More. Not a great name, but the memory sticks.
Bruce Shipman
At school, in the playground, the mantra was my headphones are bigger than your headphones. Now, it’s the opposite. Never thought I’d hear the boast – mine is smaller than yours.
Jason Austin
Personal is always better than impersonal. Convenience, portability & quality wins. Talking of winning, I would love a pet Canary. We’ll go everywhere together.
Cheong Joawin
After I obtained a pair of Shure se215 and HD 650.
Hamed Sheik
Love of music and a pair of Koss Portapros started it all for me
Joshua Loke
I first got into serious personal audio with a pair of fitear f111s and an iBasso DX50. The rest is history
Ardian Widyanto
isine10 is the start for me
Brian Wheatley
My ears always have a good laugh everytime I stick a KZ earphone in. These should stop them from laughing at me!
Zack
I hope i get to win this!
Lim Zheng Hui
Awesome iem to have. Personally own aaw w900 and have been a fan of it ever since. Would be nice to have the newer models of aaw to use! 🙂
Jeremy Walker
This would make my ears love you sooooo much!
Keith Blake
If Trump can win, and Boris Johnson can win then maybe a completely unsuitable candidate like me can win too! What a wonderful world.
I used to have a turntable and plastic discs, big dusty speakers and lots of dials and flashing lights. Now I have an invisible stream of music piped into my head via headphones. It’s magic!
Bill Curran
I still have my entry level dap – an old 50gb ipod with a dial on the front. These days it’s plugged into an old stereo system in the kitchen and plays through big old speakers. Good enough as BGM for cooking. So my original personal audio has gone retro old world hifi. Out and about I have a Fiio and various ear sets. I’d love for a Canary to come and roost on my head.
Robert Peterson
Would love to try these
Joon Lee
I got into personal audio in a big way from my friend who is very much into headphones. He introduced me into his collection of gear, and I was addicted. I was already into home theater, and into magnaplanar and electrostatic speakers, so it was an easy transition for me to start into Stax earspeakers and planar cans from Hifiman and dynamics from Sennheiser.
Anthony Bridges
My ears salute you. Wiggle. Wiggle. My ears got me into this, and I hope they have the wonderful luck to meet a canary soon.
Kevin Taylor
I went from home stereo to car stereo to on the go portable audio. I even fall asleep with Satie in my ears sometimes.
Rasmus Horn
I love everything from Singapore.
ioannis
I want his :p
Mandip Das
This is one hell of a good looking pair of headphones!
Oliver Walters
Ground control to Major Lieven. Krrr……Krrr…..I’ve been in no hurry, I’ve trailed along upgrading gear trying to balance quality, quantity and budget. This would be a small step for Headfonia but a giant leap for my ears. Krrr….Krrr…..Over and out.
Brian Nolan
It’s all in one ear and out the other.
Prayogo Hartono Surya
Maybe it was a sign that’ll lead me to win this giveaway!!!
Robert Curzon
Shine On You Crazy Headphones!
Kirsty Rowe
It started when I was around 20, with the discovery of jazz. I’m steadily increasing my budget, intake and enjoyment. You can never have too much of a good thing. Ask the Canary.
Eugen Nekhai
The beutifull sound, of course!
Vu Hoai Le
It would be nothing relaxed as wearing a pair of Canary at Canary Wharf
David Y
These look like beautiful iems and really nice to see AAW rising through the ranks! I got into audio when I listened to my friend’s cans and heard things I’d never heard before in my music!
I’ve never looked back since and getting the Canary’s would be amazing.
Kee Zi Sing
This. Is. Breathtaking. IEM. And i bet it sound perfect too <3
Oleg
Sennheiser HD-555 headphones got me into good personal audio
world.
Andrey Tsegelnik
Too much free time
Tom Sands
Fab prize! Kudos to AAW and Headfonia. It’s guys like you that got me into this, oh, and Van Morrison. You’re all equally to blame, many thanks.
🙂 😉
Robert Ford
Stone the crows! What a prize! I started with the simplest of gear, what a way to go winning something like this. Like starting out on a bicycle and ending up in a Bentley.
John Sullivan
Personal audio is a good description. It’s taken me into more intimate, introspective music – no aerobic techno for me. It’s been a journey from guitar to sitar. Bring on the Canary!
Tai Wai Tak
What got me to portable audio?
The fact that it’s like taking a Hifi system on the go
Erdal Tokat
I hope this time..
Scott Chitwood
I love to listen to music, but don’t often have the time to do it at home. Portable audio allowed me to get time in with music while on the go.
Derek Green
Got my fingers and toes crossed……and eyes crossed. I decided I had to upgrade my gear when I realised my friend’s posh car stereo sounded better than any of the audio I had access to. I guess jealousy is a string motivator!
Robert Gilmour
I started out with a Jaybird. Can I upgrade to a Canary?
Nelson Leong
Was going through a rough patch in my life, and was reminded of how much i use to enjoy playing instruments when i was younger. got back to it with the HD6xx. The rest of it was history.
Salvador de la Serna
Got into portable audio after listening to an amazing set of speakers. My cheap IEMs were then just not enough. I wanted something that resembled that experience while on the go and while working!!
Barak Strahan
Good luck everybody
Thaddeus Ong
A bunch of friends introduced me into this world, I had a go at one of theirs’ 1964 Qi drivers and there’s no turning back since!
Arsun Artel
Music has always been important to me. When I was a kid, I used to own a sony and an aiwa walkman, both of which I was enjoying a lot. I guess, I always have been in the world of portable audio…
Nicolas Lee
Waltzing into a audio store and trying on cans by curiosity. Never looked back.
Senthilrajan Moorthy
Good luck!
Dan McCullough
Since a kid, I’ve always been interested in audio quality. My parents Denon/Polk setup in the late 80’s really sucked me in! IEM’s are a lot cheaper to experiment with though.
Matt Boyce
I’ve always loved music. Hearing quality audio once got me hooked.
Petr Blaha
Music is my big hobby and I really enjoy improvement of music quality of stream music providers. Good times for us!
Jose Ignacio Moya Uribarri
Thank you for being there. Guys like me need information like you offers: plain but deep, showing how to understand the way of listening. Hope ther will come many more…
Ian Daluga
Listening to tunes on my friends shitty earbuds is what really made me appreciate nice quality audio.
Faiz Mohammad
I never knew that sound quality could vary so much from headphone to headphone. I once listened to a friend’s audiotechnica m50x’s and I was hooked. I ordered mine on the same month. After some day I thought phone was not enough, so I went up and bought a xdp-30r dap too. The difference in sound was next level. Now I’m saving up for an iem. I wish that it would be so good that I don’t have to spend anymore in audio gears.
David Farto
The sound, of course!
Caleb Hoo
My friend let me use his UE IEMs attached to and entry level stack and I didn’t understand why you would need that, and then I took a listen and I understood
iain cohn
You have a great site, i wish i had discovered it before buying my Westone w40’s. When i next upgrade, i will come here first
Jeff Cannon
What got me into personal audio was the original Pure Music app for my MacBook Pro and a pair of folding Sennheiser PDX-200ii headphones. I could travel and take my music with me !
Naomi Walker
I wasn’t allowed to touch my family audio crown jewels. Lovely to own my own. My first big buy was a pair of Sennheisers. The name was somehow reassuringly scientific.
Michael Woods
The sound detail, versatility and noise isolation I experienced from my first set of IEM’s made me a stickler for good personal audio.
Leonardo bahamondes
what got me into personal audio was the constant fighting of my parents when I was a teenager that would eventually and inevitably trigger an obsession with music and then with sound quality.
Lisa Walker
When I was kid it was a treat to be crowned with the big headphones with the fun curly wire! I think that hooked me. I’m told one of my favourite songs was Ringo Starr singing Octopus’ Garden. Oh dear. And Here Comes The Sun. Better. I have moved on in terms of content though I confess I still have an odd soft spot for those songs.
Hwa Wei-An
Music has always been something that I loved listening to, and when I realised as a kid that I could buy better earphones to give music more of a bass kick… I got stuck.
Natalie Ross
I come from a musical family so no surprise I am the same.
These are a holy grail set of iems.
Dan Brown, help, can I crack the Headfonia code!
Sota Otsuka
I can’t imagine how these high quality IEMs sound. I would love to listen to music with one of these.
Tracy Pearson
I guess the ‘in’ for me was upping the quality of my headphones to upgrade to ‘CD sound’. Now, things seem to be moving from black or brushed steel to all sorts of delightful colors. Perhaps soon we’ll be 3D printing our own shells.
Mr. Drew
Go pick me!
CHUANG HAO YUAN
music is my interest.

These are X-tremely cool!
Thanks for the chance.
I started my audio experiences in the womb with an ultra scan 😉
My ears are always listening.
Jacob Chen
A broken pair of earphones brought me to buy a new pair which really opened up how music can sound differently with different equipment
Eddy G.
Absolutely beautiful pair of IEMs.
Michael Norberg
Jewels for my ears !
Filip Vergiliu
simply wow !
Joe Norris
As crazy as it sounds beats by dr Dre got me into portable audio and here I am 10 years later I am looking to win 2,000 dollar plus ciems my have time has flown.
Jaren.Y
Chanced upon this site and that was when it all started
Tim Perry
I am becoming a super consumer of personal audio gear. Way back, on buying an ipod shuffle, it was obvious better headphones were essential. I’m currently squirrelling away cash for my first electrostatic headphones (Koss) I’d love to win these. A Canary on my head would be great fun!
Andy Cooper
Twas a bird that got me into this and tis a long road to personal audio happiness. Give a pilgrim a hand, give that man a Canary.
Liew Kuei Seong
I wanna see how this beast work!!! Btw, goodluck all!
Rachel Kennedy
Started with an ipod classic, end with a classic canary?
Gerald Vance
The endless quest for a bit of peace and quiet and quality sound to enjoy good music. Come on Canary, are you gonna go my way?
Ted Rollins
Came into the world with nothing, bury me with my canary.
I got my start with Fiio, Fiio everything – good stuff at a nice price. Nothing on AAW though, huh….mad chuckle.
🙂 🙂
Lucas Morgan
Gotten used to progressively better equipment over the years. Got into it to have a moveable, consistent, sonic environment. Living in a music bubble suits me.
Jeffrey Wareck
I would love to try these out!
Nicholas Bharvani
I was curious why CA Andromeda was so expensive, demoed them out and the whole thing started to clicked, i was like, woah…
Chris Smith
A love of music performance and an interest in post production sound design and foley art means that good quality audio equipment is very important to me.
Thomas Chen
I started in the stereo world bur I needed some quality headphone when i moved to a flat
George Anatolakis
I realised music can be very meditative and the more I emerged in it the more I searched for good quality audio. After that my wallet is considerably thinner 🙂
Andras Rev
Actually the latest Chi-FI offering got me into personal audio, like Fiio BTR3 and Hiby W5 Bluetooth players, KZ ZS5 IEM. However my best mobile audio device is the Vorzüge Vorzamp Pure II+ portable amp, which is amazing!
Kerim
Good luck!
Silvia Kury
Googled ‘IEM’ one day and the rest was history.
Reuben John
My love for music
Yunding Li
When you leave home for the first time and really try out some quality audio gear with your mates, it kinda hooks you in.
Esra Öztürk
The audio equipment that got me into good personal audio was HD600. That’d be my first ever iem, woah!
Nikola Djordjevic
Sony and iRiver players & several in-ear/earbuds.
FORMISYN MATHIEU
The love of music I presume 🙂
Luis André Ferreira
Love IEM´s! Love my Noble3 and even more my Custom Art Fibae2. Can I win this one? Please!!
Jonathan Giang
I wanted a solid piece of equipment for my computer so I researched and went through that rabit hole to find value for money peripherals.
Earphones just happen to be one of them.
Currently rocking tin audio t2
Paul Hammond
Music took over as my main hobby many years ago and the quest for better sound was on!
Nelvin
Noice
Michelle Kelly
I have an allergy to bad sound. Audio gear qualifies as medical device for treatment. Ho Ho. The Canary could be a life saver!
Marcella Logan
I started really paying attention to production values and sound quality when I started playing around with Ableton. Headphones became important. I like my ibasso but this Canary tops everything I’ve owned.
Emily Wright
I’ve been Learning to Fly – Music is like flying – let’s fly high with a gravity defying Canary.
Stanley McCatty
That’s one of the prettiest IEMs I’ve ever seen…
Hansel Ng
Always enjoyed listening well on the go.
Shannan Thyer
I’ve just started enjoying music after overcoming sound sensitivity and it’s opened my whole world up
Mary Coller
When I can I enjoy wall to wall music all day long. I walk around at home with a dap in my pocket playing music as I go from room to room. It’s more practical than multiple speaker setups. A Canary would be nice company.
MARCO GHITTINO
I continue to be incredible! I hope to win something because my passion for music has no boundaries, I always like to listen to it as much as possible through quality equipment, especially laptops !! Since I had my first cowons and my first iem yamaha, lz , flare audio etc, etc. it is a continuous desire to improve never ends!
Lisuan Phoa
I hope to win this earphone. Have been using the earbuds that came from phones only, never really tried buying one. Hope this can be an eye opener or maybe ear opener for me.
Will Purdy
I got hooked on quality audio early. I bought some Sennheiser 424’s with my hard earned money in 1976 from Boulder Sound Gallery when I was in high school. I think they were $75, and my parents thought I was nuts. I soldiered together a Dynaco amp and preamp to drive them (1500 ohm impedance if I recall). Then life happened, and I miss that sound, so I’m starting to dabble again. Good luck to everyone.
Jose
The love of music I presume.
Juanma Tydoo
Hi friends. I love music and this headphones. All day with them!!!…. So beautifull!!!
Thanks and good luck for all. ????
Stefano Wessely
Those are really interesting
Christine Miller
I’m more interested in music than clothes, I’d choose headphones rather than shoes, and dance barefoot, naked in the woods……with a canary. My brother is a keyboardist in a band, he is responsible for converting me to the cult of sonics.

I was a piano student and acquired a good ear for quality sound. It carried over to my choices in personal audio. Thanks for the chance to win a striking pair of iems.

Trying to tune into the drone of the vibrations of the universe. The better the gear the better the connection. I wonder if a canary can help.
Miko Chua

Jule König
What else would you expect of a product from Singapore than beeing elite. So this should be a very decent pair of in ears of perfect quality.
Gordon Johnson
The gateway Ipod. dang it the sound sucked. Ibasso is the end game. this givaway will match my Dx209 well.
Nadya
I am only planning to improve the sound of my smartphone. As I understood it a long and expensive way.

First time i hook on a good pair of audio was 19 years ago when i still a student i got curious on a pair of wood headphone. It is an audio technica headphone. I buy an ATH-ESW9 (and i still have it), the difference of sound quality from a regular headphone was blown my mind. Since that day i always hook with my ATH-ESW9, now i’m being a father and i’m still hook with my ATH-ESW9. A good pair of audio and a little time to relax for me is my sweet escape from my hectic life, a solitude.
James MacEwen
I just always hated when sound is not balanced as it should be so I got myself into the need for better sound,
Marcus
Great give away
Susana
Things keep improving and life is full of second chances!
Mikhail Azarov
What got you into good personal audio? I think it was when I first time heard a difference between mp3 and flac.
Marian O.G
It looks like a real gem.
Paulo Ribas
Wow, I can’t even believe you guys are doing GAW of these, thanks so much for the opportunity. Totally overkill, but they would be a real treat to substitute my somewhat recently broken ck100.
Paulo Ribas
Also totally forgot, what got me into audio was…oh well I kinda just always loved listening and playing music, so at some point I got hooked into the possibility of hearing more of my favorite songs and tapping more into the sonic beauty that so many songs bring.
Mehtap Balin
Wow, they seem great. Thanks for the chance!
Baybars Atmaca
good luck

I got into iems at my church. I use Shure, but am always looking for better iems.
Ruben Pilla
I moved into apartments and had to give up my stereo
Ralf Daeschlein
When I was working as a consultant I regularily travelled by train. And I noticed that I listening to great music is most always preferable to listen to the other travellers. I still like listenting to music on trains even when travelling privately.
Anton Baida
I started my search for end-game when my Ostry kc06a broke and I’ve just started watching and reading reviews=)
David Rodriguez
Good luck to everyone.
Oscar
This is for me just an extension of good home audio!
Daiana Lazar
Music is life and I think that without music the world wouldn’t be the same. To make life even better, you need quality earphones. These are the perfect earphones to make your life so much better.
Corina Lazar
I would love to win these because seeing how not only nice but also beautiful are, it would make me feel very lucky.
Constantin Lazar
High quality audio technology has always been my biggest hobby. I watch the reviews, I go to every showroom that has them and I always try to extend my collection. Canary are not only good but also very aesthetically pleasing. I would love to have them and to appreciate them like the masterpiece they are.
Olgers Daiana
The unique design and the quality of the sound they provide, portray perfection. I hope I will win them
Debbie Rose
I got into personal audio when my budget allowed it. Discovering the world beyond the ipod and iTunes triggered some serious spending. AAW and Headfonia – many thanks for a chance at the jackpot!
Alex Lazar
We all deserve to taste heaven. I could be in heaven if I would win the earphones.
Julie Edwards
Headfonia! My first serious purchase was a pair of BeyerDynamics in the 90s, which I used to happily sing along loudly and tunelessly to Oasis.
All together now….
….please don’t put your life in the hands

Who’ll throw it all away
So fast forward to the next century and here I am hoping to catch a canary.
AAW, they look beautiful and match my skin tone – I’m green with envy.
Larry Kane
I was one of those lunatics who bought a Zoon! I also had a Nokia phone. That’s why I don’t gamble. I’m not known for backing winners.
So I won’t curse the Canary with any predictions.
But I can offer this Canary a happy and loving perch with regular wet wipes and a nice comfy nest to sleep in.
Carl Kenny
My older brother got me into this, only AA – Audiomaniacs Anonymous – can get me out.
Harry Russell
Good luck to all!
Abhinit Prakash
Woah! I’ve been progressing in IEM’s and have never quite taken the plunge.
My first decent IEM was a TF10 and I got a UE900s after it broke. This IEM would just be a dream come true.
Goodluck to all.
SCOTT BRUNSKILL
sweet….love to have a good result
Chris Douglas
I have a bunch of headsets, cool weather, hot weather, at home, another to combat outside noise. My ‘in’ and my priority is good quality sound at a reasonable-ish cost. I’ll pay more for something cool n sexy of course. The Canary, The Nightingale, oh, I could only lay my hands on these if I were a blackbird. Would love to try ’em! Thanks 4 the chance!!
Serkan Soysever
Looks like jewelry.
Alexandros Alexiadis
I got into high grade audio when I got gifted a pair of sennheiser cx-400
It was not the best pair of IEM’s but the difference between the standard cheap chinese earbuds or the ones bundled into mobile phones was enough to get me wondering …
how does a higher grade of IEM’s sound and so on
Zsuzsi Vermes
Hi, Im a musician and after years my route led me here.
Nguyen Huynh
So cool!! Love to bring this beauty home
Tran Thien An
To be honest…. I used to not think much about having a good portable set up, in fact i was not interested in hi fi audio. But then i struck me, i started to want to appreciate music more than i currently do, and thus i went and fork out for a good pair of can, then it started to snow ball into a decent set up. But i still use a run of the mill ear bud when i go outside. It starts to itch because my home set up was way better than what i have, so i had to upgrade my out of home monitor, thus making my collection worse for my wallet.
Gerald O'Rourke
Nothing better than the best but we can’t afford that so you do as well as you can. Like a folks of a certain age I test everything with Dark Side/Kind Of Blue, songs like Come Together, plug stuff in and out and see what tickles my ear the sweetest, within budget, within reason.
Never been tickled by a Canary. Tweet Tweet.
kathy M
Awesome – would love to have such a quality pair of earbuds! thanks for the opportunity!
Kee Chee Wen
Though only been into this hobby for 2 years, I was alway not only love music but the mixing and technology behind it. The AAW Canery is a very interesting IEM for me and I would love to have a chance to listen to it.
Chris Lin
What got me into personal audio? Well, when I was a student, I often study in libraries. Even in a quiet environment, I am easily distracted. I needed music in my ear to help me focus. Often the music is just looping. At that time I started off with an iriver mp3 player, Ipod Mini, Ipod Touch, and trusty relatively cheap Sennheiser IEM. I needed something I can listen to that does not disturb anyone else.
Nowadays with full time job, I can now appreciate higher quality Hifi gear better, with my current setup being Fiio M9 and FH5. This IEM is another level again.
Kathie Meller
These look awesome and I’m betting extremely comfortable which are bonuses for awesome sound!
Orazio
Good luck, fingers cross ed!
Mun Kit Wong
there was a sale on an entry level IEM, one thing led to another with source, amp, dac, IEM, Heaphones… a vicious cycle
Lydia Thomas
I was googling for a new pair of earphones when it started all this.
Edward Tavares
These are so nice. I would love a pair.
Alex Sánchez Martinez
I just listened one of my favorite soundtracks through a Sennheiser cx300 7 years ago and it blew my mind, so… Here I am 😀
Adrián Carballo del Pozo
I need to listen to my favorite group (Autechre) in the highest quality possible
