Hmmm. Graphs are updated for those with est.

But they're still way more expensive than I expected...

Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be giving their EST equipped IEMs a pass for now. Their new graphs are much less frightening, but they also aren't what I'm looking for at that pricepoint.

all 4 which are equiped with sonion electret
They're back now with new and improved graphs. Hopefully the new ones are more accurate. Given that the new graphs look more like the other graphs from their existing BA and hybrid sets, which have shown to be fairly accurate, I'd hazard a guess that the updated graphs are legit.

Looks like they used a photoshop to squash the vertical axis lol. I may go a blind on the SE11
There are some other differences, but I think that is a lot of it. Their vertical scale looked very stretched out in the original graphs. If you do blind on the SE11 you'll have to let us know how it sounds.

Well, my GT2 and GT12 just shipped. With a little bit of luck I should have them in 8~10 days.

That's great news! It looks like you have some excellent sources to drive them from, so hopefully they'll sound fantastic for you. I'm very interested in how the GT2 sounds, since it's so affordable. I wish you the best in surviving the grueling wait while they're in logistics purgatory. It's always such a painful thing to wait for a new toy to arrive.

Logistics purgatory isn't that bad here as in other places. Before this plague we dutch used to have a orange silk road. Order to doorstep in 7 days from China on Ali standard shipping. Crazy to think about as that is faster than some stores in my country at the time. It was somewhat store dependent as they would have to ship within 24 hours but still...
Even now it's not that bad. Had my Moondrop SSP arrive 8 days after ordering them, but the average seems to be 2 weeks.

Besides I've got something to keep my ears occupied in the meantime as I got my Moondrop Starfield last week. In combination with the X7 I struggle to put them down, it's too addicting. It has the crystal clear and clean treble I'm after without overdoing it, but only on the X7 for some reason :thinking:. I hope these two have it as well, or at least one of them.

Can't wait to have them but I'll survive for now... I'll have to :sweat_smile:
