I suppose you've partly answered your own question, but aside of the miniaturisation that allows Shure and Ety to make their stunning in-ear systems, materials technology has improved with new cone, conductor, magnetic and housing materials being used and manufacturing technology has improved allowing better driver matching, closer tolerances in driver assembly and better ways of making driver housings. These are evolutionary technological improvements rather than revolutionary new technologies I admit, but major improvements nonetheless.
