Modhouse Tungsten is a transcendental revelation...

I rarely feel the NEED to leave a review. Because so seldom does a product and a creation come around that simply blows your mind and expectations.

I first heard of Modhouse in the small and now not so small headfi community.

I heard this guy Ryan (who I must say...is one of the most sincere, and considerate in the industry that I've had the pleasure to interact with) is working on this new planar magnetic home grown headphone...

I hear of many smaller players trying their own cans. I think it's great, and inspiring. But rarely do any come out that are worth remembering or you would consider flagship.

The headfi leaders all said Ryan's Tungsten is special...and will leave a mark. I took it with some caution, but immediately reached out to Ryan and understood quickly he knows what he's doing and his demand list is high. So I went for it on a blind buy for both single and double.

I just received my first pair (the single), and what Ryan has made is transcendental. Not only has he broken all boundaries and expectations for a boutique headphone...but he has reach Susvara levels and beyond.

The details, the craftsmanship (thing is built like a tank), and the comfort all next level. And the sound is immediately evident and the best way I can describe it is....pure pleasure and delight.

The stage, the clarity, the depth, the immersion and the RIGHT sound is all there. It is magic. Ryan takes his passion and bring something to the market (at an extremely reasonable price considering he reaches Susvara heights in quality).

Bravo Ryan. You are a pioneer and visionary in headfi and I cannot wait to see what else you come with up. Although, this Tungsten will be a hard one to top for quite sometime I imagine.

Sorry for delay, just saw this question! Holo Bliss KTE....stellar amp, absolute champion. I haven't found another solid state to compare the power and clarity.

UM Mest - prepare to say WOW with every listen!
Pros: Clarity, clarity, clarity. Fun, fun, fun. Highs, mids, and lows all come together beautifully.
Cons: For this package, none.
This is a review on the most stunning and surprising IEM of 2020. This is an IEM that costs $1399, but sounds like it cost $4,000 easy. The clarity, the clarity, the clarity. This thing has to be one of the most transparent IEMs on the market, while simultaneously sounding FUN, thanks to its very unique (excuse the repeated pun) bone conduction drive technology. The entire driver package creates just about the most holographic sounding experience I have ever heard in an IEM. Every time I put the MEST on, my jaw drops. This is just the most addicting IEM I have ever used. Even with my Focal Utopia and Stellia next to me, sometimes I just want to listen to my MEST. It delivers something even flagships cans cannot. I give my compliments to Unique Melody. They nail the highs, mids and lows, while delivering such an all around beautiful package. And again, I still can't believe the price. I would honestly pay double at this point...it sounds that good.

I never even considered Unique Melody, but Andrew from MusicTeck assured me this is one IEM worth my time. I took a chance and I am so grateful to him for it. Just WOW...imagine listening to something that makes you say that every single time. This is the experience of the MEST. You will reconsider your entire IEM collection. It will show you things you never knew possible in an IEM and you'll have the best time and pleasure from your music unlike ever before. It's a promise! This is not just a subjective opinion...I haven't heard one person doubt their love for this pair.

You have to go to https://www.musicteck.com/ and connect with Andrew. He is honest, helpful and truly cares about getting what will make you happy, and not upsell.

Happy listening and enjoy :)

Loving my MEST as well. It presents music in a new way...must be that bone conductor at work. Was watching the Witcher on NETFLIX using MEST and even that is more enjoyable.

Mest is really special, unique melody really did they're research and it shows. Looking forward to what's possible with bone conduction.

Mine are on the way! Saved me a LOT of $$$ compared to what I had thought I would need to spend.
