Welcome to the Fatfreq family )
- Unpacking is simple, nothing like that. Will help out in case of falling from the Burj Khalifa )
- Stock cable: new upgrade cable. Outwardly it looks simple. Very light and weightless. Cable with Fatfreq engraving and change of connectors 2.5+3.5+4.4 . The cable needs to be replaced, of course it is probably better than the first option, but still does not reveal the beauty of the MSE sound.
- Ear tips. The complete ones are rigid and not comfortable. Not all ear pads are suitable. I was approached by Spinfit W1 + 145 + 155. Azla fits well. Crystal + Xlesastec + Vivid. Spiraldot 10 is a good fit. The best ones are those that cling well in the ear. And they isolate it well.
- MSE light..., lighter than Monarch MK2. They sit in their ears much better than monarchs, they don't even compare. Yes, it's a large body, but it's large outside, there are a lot of convolutions inside that make the landing better. They sat down perfectly, phew, you can exhale, because there were suspicions that they might not sit down!
- Sound. Ufffff. God, how they play! I didn't get such a buzz with either Monarch mk2 or Gaea... It's something else. Another level.
-Bass: Just unique woofers, they are large-scale, fleshy, detailed, dense, while nothing is exaggerated anywhere. There are no overkill. Sub bass - my God, this is the most amazing sub! All styles of music sound perfect.
-The middle: Everything is wonderful here, a great middle, musical, complete, detailed. The vocals sound great.
-High frequencies: Oh, how 4EST sounds. High tuning. Not bright, while everything is very, very detailed, everything is audible. The cymbals sound very, very nice. Just a beautiful pleasant sound to the ear.
- In general, the sound: A great scene, a big circle, I noticed that the separation of instruments is very well done. The sound is balanced with the allocation of the bass naturally, but it is so competently done that there are no words. When you listen, you listen to the whole picture. The scale of the proto sound is amazing. Vocals, male or female, sound good, full-fledged, like it.
- In a nutshell: it's bass and detailed airiness. Unique headphones! Fatfreq great fellows!
I am in love with these IEMs and I regret that I did not take them before the new year! It was necessary to find an opportunity to buy them.
Cable selection: the stock cable needs to be replaced. I tried the Effect Audio Code23 cable. Code23 does amazing things with light headphones. In general, it fits any headphones. But it doesn't sit very well with MSE. Code23 is an elastic cable and behaves like a monofilament. Sometimes it pulls out of the ears, because the MSE is essentially attached by inserting ear tips. And it is necessary that the headphones do not move when listening. And pure copper brings in a lot of fat. This fat is very tasty, but it's still too much. Wanted to add more airiness and detail. Therefore, it was decided to take a hybrid copper + silver cable. Cables from Effect Audio Eros or Cadmus are perfect. I have silver + copper in my photo. This is a cable from ruaudio. In short, it is necessary to take a cable with silver. Which is what Fatfreq does for MSE and GM. With silver, the detail increases, the airiness, the scene becomes larger, the resolution of high frequencies increases.
Compared to other headphones: a lot of high-quality and fast bass, a unique sub bass. For the first time I can say that everything is fine with the bass and there is enough of it. At the same time, the detail of medium and high frequencies with a silver cable is higher than on EE&EE Gaea! It's amazing!
I want to purchase a Cayin N7 source for MSE in the near future, has anyone already tried how MSE sounds with it?
