I am curious to see if they have improved the overall frequency response from the first C5. Good luck to everyone!

Just going by your measurements they look quite nice. Big bass thwack that calms itself down before it gets to mud up the vocals and well extended mids that blend smoothly into the treble region, with almost ruler flat treble up to 10kHz and only a slight rolloff thereafter.

I really don't like when a headphone rolls off the mids at about 1-2kHz, and so many do. I know a lot of people like warm mids but to me that region feels like the place where all the air and consonant detail lies in the vocals, especially female vocals.

I also find it very hard to find an IEM that doesn't drop off sharply after 10kHz. Even many high end UIEMs like the SE846 seem to run away sharply in that region, robbing you of that little bit of sparkle.

Should I win this sweepstake, I hope to answer a nagging question: Is Bowers dedicated to the right ear, or is that the proper domain of Wilkins?

Further, should ear placement be reversed, would there be any discernible impact upon audible frequencies within the fabric of space-time?
