    I have no idea if this is on anyone's radar, or if anyone knows anything about these beyond stupid press material. I clicked a "check out this other stuff!!!!!!" link in an unrelated kickstarter spam, and was moderately intrigued.

    They are not cheap, $220, but they have a lot of things that appeal for a "work out earphone": personalized molding earpieces for better stay-in-ear capabilities, bluetooth with what looks like a decent charging and supplemental battery design, and the ability to set the level of ambient noise that is let in via built in external mics. These address the things I find most irritating about most "work out" headphones; especially a way to let in ambient noise that hopefully doesn't suck. I have been in too many holy shit situations on my bike recently to keep using proper iems while riding, which basically sucks.

    On the flip side, the "personalized molding earpieces" sound dangerously gimmicky, and I have no idea what they will sound like. They tout Onkyo as providing the drivers, but that doesn't really tell me anything about how they will sound.

    Anyone know anything more about these? I searched the forum for "revols" and found zip.

    I've never had much luck with Bluetooth IEMS. Always heard lots of interference, but it's been years since I've tried. Very curious about the modeling process... Would love to have custom tips for some of my unis.
