I’m sure there are already a lot of pre-orders in from the HK market because of the upcoming Chinese New Year, the timing of these are not coincidental.

At least not me not sure, HK is like second market to them, they even just release Mest Mkii here..I’m sure there are already a lot of pre-orders in from the HK market because of the upcoming Chinese New Year, the timing of these are not coincidental.
Technically there is nothing wrong with this, I agree, it’s brilliant marketing. But I feel the question is more if one should applaud for techniques to get the last drop of milk out of the cow?Just a general comment which could probably be applicable to some other recent releases with a hefty price tag. I think manufacturers do listen to voices of their customers (many of whom are Head-fiers) and also release more affordable models, still, with a cool tech inside. But at the same time, they see demand from a handful of wealthy audiophiles (or those who just want to have bragging rights) and seize on the opportunity to sell in a limited release quantity. And I also suspect that a number of people who clicked on this thread and read about these iems and their pricing and others saying "you are nuts, why spend so much money when you can buy Mest MKII or Indigo at a fraction of the price", they will go and buy those instead. So, I think it's a brilliant marketing, a few will spend $8k, and a lot more will spend $1.5k-$2.5k.
Haha, I still have Shure E4c from the same time frame and IEMs have come a long way!At least SQ is leaps and bounds better than 15 years ago. I still have my first westone UM3X back in 2007 and i thought nothing can get better than that. Lol. And i don't want to know what traillii mk2 going to cost!
Well, I don't think there should be any remorse about FS owners, cause RH and FS are different enough in sound to let us release two models. The RH does have advantages in technical performance, but it might not 100% suits your performance, if you love how FS sounds.
Another thing is we will farewell to FS when the limited stocks run out. Nothing in the world will sound like FS. No more materials to let us paint them in blue.
I’m with you on this… will be sold out quick if not already.I’m sure there are already a lot of pre-orders in from the HK market because of the upcoming Chinese New Year, the timing of these are not coincidental.
Sir could I ask what is the process of converting MEST MKii universal to CIEM and how much does it cost?There is a shining new driver there, the driver size and the frequency response coverage of that driver is basically doubled, did I miss that in the introduction?
