I rarely have fit problems with iems maybe bacause i have generic shape ears :) try tip rolling, different shape and sizes of tips until you get the perfect fit and seal.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I reckon the Septet are worth the effort, they really do shine.

Excellent review! Superbly summed up my feelings about this set also in your expertly crafted impressions. The only other set which caught me totally off-guard like this was the OG Mangird (before Xenns) Tea! Again excellent observations & thoughts on this set!

New Head-Fier
For Penon Voltage in Universal Fit
Pros: Superb build quality & stunningly gorgeous looks.
Enjoyable balanced tuning.
Warm, musical, relaxed & very pleasing sound signature.
Satisfactory lows…not suitable for bass heads.
Wonderful organic, warm midrange rendering with lush, velvety forward vocals.
Well rounded, smooth treble…not suitable for treble heads.
Perfect for fatigue free extended listening sessions.
Balanced technicalities in terms of soundstage, layering & instrument separation.
Cons: Being laid-back, relaxed & less spirited overall, might not appeal to listeners that prefer energetic sound signature.

Headphoneus Supremus
For MYER-AUDIO CKLVX CK2V in Universal Fit
Pros: Stunning accessories package
Comfortable fit out of the box
Stunningly powerful yet controlled bass
Extended treble that doesn't sound too crispy or sharp
Everything just sounds super professional and polished. Detailed AND musical.
Cons: I'd prefer the vocals to be a bit more forward in some cases, but this is really a nitpick
Once in a while, the bass can a bit too much. But I LIKE bass so... is this really a con?
CKLVX CK2V: 93/100. S-tier.

Some may wonder why I rated them 5⭐️when I had some slightly negative things to say about it. Here’s my breakdown, I see five stars as 0-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, and 81-100. So if an IEM gets at least an 81/100 in my ranking chart, it should be 5 stars.

100+ Head-Fier
For BGVP Feather in Universal Fit
Pros: - Balanced hybrid configuration with 1DD + 4 branded BA drivers, offering excellent sound retrieval across frequencies.
- Natural timbre and clean treble extension, providing a crisp and well-detailed sound.
- Well-defined bass with deep sub-bass thumps and fast response, maintaining clarity without muddiness.
- Premium build and accessories, including a spacious leather case, high-quality modular cable, and various eartips for tuning preferences.
- Excellent soundstage and imaging, creating a holographic listening experience suitable for music, movies, and gaming.
- Impressive technical performance, resolving micro-details with precision and maintaining instrument separation.
- Comfortable ergonomic design, fitting well for long listening sessions without fatigue.
Cons: - Mid-bass bleed into lower mids, though it adds naturality to male vocals and bass instruments.
- Large nozzle (6mm diameter) may not fit those with smaller ears comfortably.
- Not fully source-dependent, but scales better with higher-powered DAC/AMPs.
- Treble can be intense for treble-sensitive listeners, despite its controlled sibilance.
- Not the most forgiving for poorly mastered tracks, given its high resolution and analytical presentation.
Disclaimer: This IEM was given to me directly from BGVP, they are not paying me for this review, and all the opinions and impressions about the set are on my own.

Headphoneus Supremus
For Penon Audio TOTEM ULTRA Interconnect or Adapter Cable in Cables and Accessories
Pros: Brings about a new significant 3D image stance and a slight color to any signal passed through it
Accessibility to a section of Totem Ultra Cable sonic resources for around 8x less cost
Works better than the full-on Totem Ultra Cable in some applications
Takes and adds authority and soundstage always
Can sculpt and optimize bass in certain applications
Does not necessarily add warmth or brightness like copper or silver cables
Creates enhanced musicality through realness and vividness :)
Can create pace and rhythm though diminished bass presence/character
Magic metals in metallurgy application with noticeable results found
Palladium
Gold
Copper
Silver
Can you say note-density? I knew you could!
Cons: Nada, works with every IEM and DAP for the very same results, though at times more and at times less

Darkish treble tint is a problem of most 1 DD NFacous. Probably due to a thick nozzle filter.

Thanks bro, lovely take! While I would like a little more definition and resolution in this set, I think it would lose its special flavor. This one stays in my collection, unless my wife finds out about it lol

Yeah there's something about the old vibes it gives that is very unique, it's a keeper, I didn't hear something similar to this set.
