it's the plate opposite the ADEL module, and it's connected to the big vent that can be seen on all NF models
Isn’t that to give the effect of the open chamber design/tubeless? (Real curiosity)

I don’t think so, I think it’s literally just a separate port for the bass driver

Great! That should give a nice stage with a controlled back pressure on the driver.

I think it's the stage height that becomes mindblowing, I've never heard an IEM that places the bass this low in my head and the treble/cymbals this high up. The width is also extremely impressive, probably one of the better/best I've experienced. The technical performance of the Kr5 is generally out of this world and puts even the best to shame

It is all about technical performance isnt it. It is helped by tuning a bit but it just goes to show you that gou dont need 28 driver hybrid to make it sound well separated and spacious.

They’ve arrived, trying them out for a few days. Pretty busy work day rite now, but I’ll start listening to KR5 later tonight to start with.

Xe6 arrived, and it is easily the most stunning CIEM design I've ever seen :O

It came with 4 sets of modules though, black - gray - red - gold. Does anyone know what the isolation on each is?

Edit: found on website :)
