Trying to find more info on this guy but figured I would get a thread going anyways so things don't get confused with the Maestro Mini.

Excited to hear more impressions of this guy soon, from you all!

Anyone have any idea how long they usually take to ship orders? Ordered a Maestro SE yesterday.

They told me they're working on a large bulk order for one of their customers, and the usual lead time for their universals went from 7 days to 3 weeks if i ordered that day. that was a week ago so maybe 2 weeks from now

My MSE arrived today. It took them 2 weeks but there were some delays because they changed the stock cable.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

I will try it later. I'm a bit apprehensive as the shells look big, hopefully I can get a good fit. It comes in a rather simple pelican case. The new cable looks decent and it has modular terminations.

Woohoo! Super nice to start seeing reviews coming out and people getting units in!

First impressions:
- excellent build quality;
- the shells are fairly larger, probably ideal for medium to large ears, so it could be a con for some people. I have a very thight fit, hopefully no problems with long sessions. I would recommend custom fit for those interested in the MSE;
- the MSE is relatively hard to drive, they need power; I need high gain with the iBasso DX320 to sound properly;
- Fantastic coherence for a multi hybrid IEM with 12 drivers per side;
- Testing Angel from Massive Attack my ears were physically abused from the most thunderous bass I've heard from a IEM. It rumbles, you really can feel it;
- Bold and powerful bass as advertised but with exceptional control and clarity, no bass bleed. It's just amazing, like a sub-woofer;
- Excellent mids and instruments separation for such a bass heavy set;
- Neutral treble with some spark extension;
- I think it might work well with most genres, it sounds fairly good with rock and metal;
- Not much else to say, probably not the best for vocal centric music, but it sounds natural to my ears.

Sounds right up my alley!

Paired Impi cable by @doctorjuggles with the MSE and it just elevates everything to stratospheric levels, even more bass control and treble extension. Inertia Creeps sounds sublime.

Doctors Juggles makes great stuff!
