Well, just placed a pre order with Jaben. Quite a leap with no audition but the configuration intrigues me and the collaboration is also interesting.

Hopefully they use a great stock cable, they follow Dunu path and not 64 Audio

Nice faceplates...very cool

Nice to get some measurements. Though interesting to see that the difference between the normal and bass filters seems rather small. Vokal almost certainly will not be my cup of tea.

Excited to have received my purchase early here in California from Jaben in Singapore-Thanks to the Jaben team Excited to start burn in

Currently enjoying the 4+2, I thought that with the 2 x 8 mm drivers I would encountered a strong bass, I have dealt with multiple DD IEM's from Lear and UM and had mixed feelings.

Early thoughts using stock large tips and cable

No doubt, if you are listening without knowing the specs, you will know it's a hybrid as the DD show it's presence but it doesn't feels like a 8 mm driver, but almost like having a 10 MM driver and not like 13.6 mm as some other hybrids .
So I think the 2 x 8 mm is quite good in providing the right hit in the bass region. For example Big Boi Kill Jill sounds fantastic with the hits that occur within the first minute or in Big Sean Harder than My Demons changes during the first part of the song

Still listening on the Mids and Highs using Interpol, The Smits and Sault. The BA approach seems very good, no fatigue or harshness.

No doubt need to keep listening

Cable and accessories very good

Thanks for some early impressions! Looking forward to more. Unfortunately had some major unforeseen expenses and had to cancel my initial order then re-place a new one, so mine just shipped out today.

Do you have any other IEMs to compare to... though specifically the size of them?

In the picture L to R , Dunu Zen, Earsonics Purple, MEST and 4+2. As you can see MEST is comparable

Thanks! They seem a bit on the large side. Hopefully my ears do ok with them. Guess I'll find out hopefully early next week!

Not worried about size, how does the 4+2 sound compare to the MEST?

Have not done a proper comparison, I think the MEST and Legend X have a rumble that is quite an experience. The 4+2 is right now with the Normal plug in, there is another one in the case that states Bass that I have not tried. Also the EST sound signature is different than the BA

 

[darveniza]

Have not touched the modules as I was not sure how you changed them

I believe it's something like 2 weeks and no extra cost (although I would specifically specify what value you want your product to be).

I haven't personally bought from them but their responses to my questions were instant (like in 10 minutes) really positive from my end
