Great review, thanks...I appreciate the honesty. Hopefully they can fix a bunch of those kinks with firmware (and update the instructions on their website!!!)
 
I highly recommend the Meze if & when your funds allow...I doubt you'll be disappointed.
And..
"Oh yeah, there’s also zero un-boxing photos. Thank God for other, more professional reviewers, yes?"
Yes.
I'm not knocking them, but I have no use. As long as the product is protected, I don't really care what it looks like.
 
Thanks again!

Brilliant review! Loved it! Your pics look amazing too and what a bunch of in ears. Over ears wise I love the Momentums when I've heard them. 

" It sounded a little congested, a little too thick." --- Try with a 20ohm impedance adapter + 64Audio U12. It definitely gets better and at the same time underwhelming too.

Pinky, just want to let you know that Cayin i5 pairs very well with Meze 99 Classics, the synergy went so well that we have exchanged our product already, so if you were to upgrade your Momentum to Meze 99 Classics, make sure you tried it with a Cayin i5.
