NB: This is a headphone designed for vocalists monitoring themselves in a recording studio/booth and is tuned accordingly.
Build Quality: Cheap-feeling, plastic headband and brass acoustic chambers feel thin metal, but very light and comfortable (it is a £50 headphone)
Isolation: Weak, not suitable for use outside
Soundstage: Wide and 3D feeling
Bass: Anaemic, has been pushed out of the way for this tuning
Mids: Vocal focus, better female than male, detailed
Treble: Rather too spicy, even for my indelicate ears
Detail retrieval: Good on the mid-higher frequencies
Comment: Out of the box, this is not suitable for casually enjoying music, not terribly surprising as it was not market as such. You need to EQ this, and as such it is better suited to a desktop setup.
With EQ I can fix the bass & tame the treble, keeping the detail and enjoying the soundstage.
With these modifications it is a very nice headphone indeed for the price.
Without, it is only suitable for the intended purpose of monitoring vocals.
If you are willing to spend the time to EQ to your taste, it's nice to experience the Joker ^^
I have almost all spinfits and all sednas, your incoming sedna max. the crystal is tighter and detailed.
Yes you have to try that pentaconn coreir brass, that one is on another class compared to my other eartips collections. They are expensive but worth for the imaging and layering, the brass resonance really works that way, not reducing or absorbing the clarity and the pin point accuracy compared to other materials.
But they don't adding bass, more the other way around they give tightness to the midbass, cleaner and snappier bass presentation.

Ive spent 2 weeks with the V12 (I prefer the 2DD & 6BA combo) and I really impressed by them. At the beginning they sound "thin" without any bass, but lately they wake up, still maintaining the same detail and resolution. The presentation is really nice, cohesive and putting the instruments on the right place to sound just nice.
Maybe the packaging is not the best, but I get a nice cable over the modular one (you got some picks of them some page ago)
Like I said, on the 11.11 with the right coupons, they are a bargain. Just need some burning time.

Nice clean bass, great sub, and slam, quality and quantity. Kato treble. Sweet vocal as usual.

Does anyone have further rumors about the goodness of Kiwi Ears Melody? HBB seems to appreciate them, he's quite positive, but I'd like to know if they would be a sidegrade compared to P1 Max... Planar wars have begun and I can't wait to see or read objective reviews and comparisons.

I have read a couple of very recent reviews, one in which it was compared to the Tanchjim Kara. The reviewer liked them over the Kara, more so just liked them.
I got a set of Render ear tips this weekend... I cannot figure out how to get them inserted consistently or what size to even used, I normally need a medium or medium/small size, but the medium render ear tips don't seem to ever seal, so I tried using the larges and they seal but feel like they are sitting outside my ears basically.
