I notice there is a port there.. but what I wonder does it have some other function (such as total of 2 port for DD driver).. like this iem is not tubeless design...

This is true. But from FIR's marketing materials, this is also the place that they implement ATOM.

Wouldn't that be one opening for the DD and the other for the ATOM module, like 64a A8 that has a separate opening for the DD, aside from the APEX module?

I absolutely love the anime look of these and the price point is very attractive too. The temptation is growing by the day

Giving me Sucker Punch vibes lol.

Let's wait for Bogdan's official confirmation, but I do see the ATOM vent is closed, not open, only DD vent is open. In M4 and M5, both vents are open.

Just got official confirmation from Bogdan: "Atom is inside by low driver, the back vent and atom exhaust is in one"

So, ATOM is in!!!

Does it have Atom??

The atom filter is in there. The rating on the filter is a “super +” giving it a maximum isolation but still relieving maximum pressure on the front side. We were able to achieve this by placing the the filter directly in front of the low driver. There’s also a “manifold” that low and mid pipe into so though it’s not tubeless it’s not really a “tubed” iem either. No Xcite cricut either so cables, and players will have more of a bias on the sound, which a lot of people might appreciate . In depth details about this new design will be released once it’s up for sale. We really appreciate the excitement around this model, we are just as excited about it as you all are.

Loving my M3s as a EDC, so the VxV seems right up my alley. My favorite thing, other than the sound, is the shape of the M series... I can wear them all day and not get fatigued in any way. I hope to try them at some point.

 

[godlikegamer]

wish this have Custom version but in reality it does not... for the price point and driver count is understandable..

Here it is, the full 5x5 (VxV) write up. Enjoy the read!

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm glad you had a pair of Rai Penta to compare with the VxV. I've been listening to mine for almost two weeks solid so that comparison gives me a good point of reference.

Nice writeup. These are very nicely styled. Even thought they are cheaper, I suspect I'd value the extra bass oomph that it's much bigger cousin the Nio offers. Glad to see Portland continuing to pump out cool audio gear though!

For sure, if you want more bass, Nio with M20 will take you there! Personally, I have to dial it down, using Nio with atom xl N0 (10dB) module.

Thanks for the review, twister6. Wanted to get an idea of how the 5x5 compared to my M3s. Love what Fir Audio is doing with their design aesthetic.
