That's what I have. These are my first set of custom IEMs so I can't compare them to anything, but I'm very happy with them.
Finally took the plunge and ordered these: (even tough the Canadian dollar SUCKS! Paid close to $1100CDN)
V6 Stage. Now on step 3: Impressions received. Let the waiting begin.... I really hope they are as good as people say they are.
Current set up: Recently upgraded from Shure PSM200 to Sennheiser EW300 IEM G3 with Shure SE535 buds. Will post pics when then finally arrive.

Very nice, I have been folowing this thread waiting for the day I have enough steady work to need them. Currently using the PSM200 w/ SE215 ears. First round with zero point of reference and I'd love to know first, your experience moving from the PSM 200 to the Sennheiser/SE535 setup and then your feelings on the eventual upgrade to the V6 when they arrive. I want to add a coupel more transmitters to my IEM rack and the 200's are hard to find at a decent price. If your experience with the EW300 is positive I might considet the same upgrade.
I bought the 535's at the same time I bought the PSM 200. Never tried the 215's, actually sold them to my drummer as soon as I got them. LOL. Sorry I can't help you there as I have nothing else to compare them to.
I've been using the PSM 200 for a few years now with no real issues (however I always thought something sounded a little weird to me.) Then I decided to rent the Senn to see what the hype was about..... WOWZA!!!! It was like someone lifted a blanket off of the sound. Way less compressed and a tad more headroom. Way more options to tweak your receiver / transmitter, plus you can scan for available frequencies which is a big plus for me. (Bass wireless, guitar wireless, vocal wireless, modem for the soundboard, and everything else in the area would always cause me to have a hard time finding the right preset freq on the PSM). Also when I bought the Senn it came with 2 belt packs, so you can run 2 totally independent mono mixes. I use one and our singer uses the other.

I have been using the 1964 Quads since Jan 2014 and love them. Used them with PSM200 , Carvin EM900, Aviom and B*ringer P series devices.
I got one heckuva deal on a Senn G3 IEM about 4 (5?) months ago replacing the Carvin xmitter I was using. The Carvin was better and much cheaper than the PSM200. FWIW - I never used (other than testing) the buds that came with either unit..as I had Westones prior to the 1964's.
Talk about night and day.. I now have specific channels that I recall for specific venues, so I have no dropouts or interference. That was due to the body pack being able to scan for the best open channel. The other units had multiple channels open, but could not scan, so it was hit or miss.
The clarity is astounding.. and the body pack uses the wire to your buds as an additional antenna. Awesome.
Love my G3 IEM system.. again, not used the E4 buds that come with it.
I highly recommend the G3 - even used.. I paid used price for new unit!
Reaching out to the owners group that I will be joining soon. I have a set of V6S in a holding pattern for my impressions.
Those of you who have experience with ADELs, I'd love to hear an argument for or against dropping the V6S and going to A3's. The price point winds up being about the same difference comes to the 6 drivers in the V6S verses the 3 driver + ADEL in the A3s.

I'd be interested to hear from a bass playing owner of these if the bass response is diminished due to what is effectively a port.

***UPDATE*** Ughhhhh! It's been a month since 1964 have received my impressions and they now just have trimmed the impressions. When I placed my order a month ago, the current build time then was 3-4 weeks, now they're at 6 weeks or so. Man-O-man am I ever jonesing to get these bad boys in.

I got an email the other day saying they were moving.. from Portland to Vancouver -- not Canada, but to the other side of the river/town.
Prep for that may have delayed many orders.. I'm sure it's not a simple office box move..
Now you really want to lift the blanket???? Tell the singer to get his own, and run yours in stereo. You'll be shocked how good the listening experience can be. Changing from that PSM 200 only got you half the way there.
Seriously. I can't comment on the Senn G3 specifically but I can relate difference quality gear makes. I recently went from Carvin EM900 (which is actually a decent unit) to a wired solution ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) and the sound quality vs. price is just too good to ignore. Since I can't afford a G3 at the moment I'm ditching wireless, including my beloved G30) due to the improved sound quality.
So after that ringing endoresment
, if anyone is interested in a Carvin EM900 IEM system, let me know! (Seriously, it's a good unit, sound quality is only part of the story, I just bought an SR755 and need to pay it off ASAP!)
It's official, I have a problem. I gave a friend the 1964 site to look for IEMs and I noticed that the Adel tech is now for all model types. I have some tinnitus from younger days and always had some ear trouble (ruptured drum as child, some loud music, flew on an ear infection and got wicked vertigo), so I'm pretty sensitive about the ear volume. Dig my quads, and now seeing the A4, I'm having a large amount of lust hoping that the pneumatic pressure thing is real, but I don't need to be spending the money right now. Would like to demo them, but fear that I will purchase them.
Somebody stop me.
