Shinola Canfield Pro review: These in-ear headphones deliver stylish looks, but mediocre sound

Like their larger sibling, Canfield Over-Ear Headphone, Canfield Pro IEMs display outstanding build quality and exquisite styling.
In fact, build quality and styling were the first things that caught my eye when I unboxed and held Canfield Pro IEM's for the time.
Under the hood, Canfield Pro IEMs feature two balanced armature receivers woofer and mid high-range tweeter.
Comparing Canfield Pro tips with others in my collection, the included tips were more tapered, as opposed to the flat-top tips included with other IEMs..
Swapping out Canfield's included tips with those from Periodic Audio Be provided night and day difference in Shinola's fit.
I think the folks at Shinola might want to revisit the shape of the ear tips and either change them or include more options..
I tested Shinola Canfield IEMs with Astell&Kern Kann and Fiio X7 MKII hi-res audio players and iPhone 7.
The same was true of any I played Ariana Grande, Adele, Patricia Barber, and Bonnie Raitt, to name few..
Canfield Pro IEMs sucked the life out of AC DC's anthem, You Shook Me All Night Long..
Unfortunately, I can say the same of Canfield Pro monitors. They're designed, and they exhibit outstanding build quality.
