Interesting that you mention much improved sound quality. About two weeks ago, after listening for 3.5hrs, I too experienced that realization. Every single song, especially all my older music, sounds completely new to me. I wouldn’t mind a V2 coming out. Before I heard about the EARS...

I looked at the BTR5 and iFi Go Blu but ended up purchasing the Qudelix 5k.

I fully understand about using Alliexpress. Have only purchased a few items there. And actually received them. Will look into this cable though as I would like a shorter cable.

Which cable is a better sonic fit for the Flare EARS series, silver or copper?

I found that FIIO 20” 3.5mm to MMCX cable on Alliexpress for about $37. I also contacted the Company that made my .78 and MMCX cables for my Pono Player’s to see if they would make one for me, but they said no. I also found a 20”.78 and MMCX cable to 2.5mm balanced or 3.5mm at audio64 in NY...

I have a couple IEM’s from IMR and over a dozen from the previous named company. With every one I would first run them using the Cardas-Ayre Burn-In CD for at least 24hrs. Always noticed differences in sound quality from my first listening before running the CD. Interestingly enough, my...

The old design has the cable coming out of the end of the triangle. The new design has the cable coming out of an extension of the stem. Thus making the triangle protrude out away from the ear much farther.

This is the OLD design. The fit would be the same as the E-3D-1 if they used this design.

Thank You for the answer. I believe that a custom will work out for me.

If one chooses to purchase a custom MKII, will I need to get new ear impressions changed about every two years or so?

The more reviews I read here of the MkII, the more satisfied I am with my OG MEST. Sure it would be nice to have a smaller shell , but I truly enjoy what I have.

Looks like the shell of the Japanese model.

Not sure what is really going on, but my MEST sounds far better with my Pono Player than my ZX300. Both in balanced mode.

I purchased my MEST about two weeks ago. My ears are somewhat on the smaller side. Compared my S8F to the MEST in size and are exactly the same. So fit perfectly for me. I have come up with a solution similar to an earlier post as far as tips to use. I took the small pair of asla Sedna...

I’m just happy that I can continue to use both my Pono Players. They still sound great to me.

That would be an excellent question to ask them.

Received my two last week, but they stated more will become available. They are looking for comments on how the batteries they do sell work out for Pono owners though.

For those using a non QDC cable with your MEST and want a safer connection, this is what I did. I took a couple spare double flange silicone ear tips, removed the flanges, and slid the remaining tube of the connection. If you want a much tighter fit, just use the inner tube from a pair of foam...

The Chinese wealthy and government are buying up virtually everything they can get their hands on concerning Canada. Practically an invasion at this point. Conceivably to get closer for overtaking the US also.

This might seem as an unusual question, but i certainly would like to know any answer. Are there any relevant characteristics between wide bore and small bore tips with the MEST?

Thanks for the recommendation. Just ordered. My book is more to do with the legal aspects of history between the US and GB, but relevant to the whole world. There are 13 families envolved with an , as yet unknown , entity at the top in absolute control. Has been since the beginning of what...

In this reality or present dimension the entire world has been screwed over by the so called elite, but the US and GB have a special connection to what is really going on.

You are most welcome. A must read for all Americans. They really have zero idea how screwed they have always been.
