Anyone tried the empire wars bravado mk2 with metal? Thinking about ordering them.
Knowles balanced armature drivers offer really good resolution, however there are lots of IEMs that offer those at a lower price like my Shanling ME700s. Like you, I didn't want to pay over $900 equivalent for the IT07, even if it rates better. There's starting to be IEMs with electrostatic treble drivers available for under $1000 like the Kinera Nanna. Everything Empire Ears sells, seems to go for a premium, and to a lesser extent, Campfire Audio. I'm going to be sticking with Chinese IEMs. You may realize better prices than me buying European origin products.Some new IEMs are a overpriced imho, and maybe also the IT07, but I can't judge because I haven't tried them yet. I would like to test them but here in Italy I must buy them myself to do it.
Maybe a silver cable would help?I just got the Dunu SA6 today. While I enjoy them and they're a very competent IEM indeed, I find them too bassy and without the treble sparkle I look for in dedicated metal IEMs.
I'm keeping them though. They sound a little more pleasant and easy listen to than the Fearless S8F.
The new Bravado universal is under $1000 I believe.Knowles balanced armature drivers offer really good resolution, however there are lots of IEMs that offer those at a lower price like my Shanling ME700s.

I can attest to the Kinera Nanna 2.0s being great for metal. You can get used or open box for great prices too.Knowles balanced armature drivers offer really good resolution, however there are lots of IEMs that offer those at a lower price like my Shanling ME700s.

Unfortunately, a) the 2 pins slot is so recessed on the SA6s that aftermarket cables will have issues fitting the IEM b) the only aftermarket cable I have is a SuperBax which doesn't fit because of a) and c) I don't know if a new cable would add that much treble and lower the bass. My taste is just for different sound signatures overall.Maybe a silver cable would help?
Uh oh..I have them in my cart at musicteck..u just made it much easier to hit the “order” button LOLSo far UM MEST MkII performed far better than any IEMs I’ve tried over my past 15 years into this hobby for Rock/Metal.
I’ve heard 3DT is good for bass, but had someone has both strongly advised me of No-go for buying 3DT. Said “if you are not basshead, there is no justification for buying 3DT, if you already have like MEST or RSV. Maybe 3DT works great with certain impactful genre like metal though.
