Sony mdr ex800st for sale...😅😅🤣
Have you tried EQ with it? It needs it.
(I got a PEQ preset in my database if you are interested.)

Here are the pictures as promised... The quality is top notch, piece of art imho.
The shells seems to have gems inside that change color based on the view angle and the position of the light.
The cable is 2.5mm balanced, really well made, and in the box there are 2 adapters (3.5mm amd 4.4mm), but I'm using Cayin 4.4mm adapter.
I put on the comply tsx 500 memory foam tips and left all accessories sealed in the box.

About the box, the best I ever seen in my hands is the Fearless one, maybe I expected something more from an $849 set of IEMs, but the most important thing (the only one that matters actually) is how they sound. They seem to be endgame, but I will wait a few days for my final verdict.

Glad you found your ideal iem buddy, now that you've spend enough time with these, what's your impressions about these? What are the negatives you find with the EJ07? Does it have a lively/energetic sound or more laid back warm sound? Are these a solid option under $1000 for extreme metal?

Hi @Vruksha! I'll go straight to the point.
EJ07 are fantastic IEMs but I don't find the $849 value in them. I love them, but they don't sound 4 times better than my iBasso IT01S (single DD). I don't know why nobody mention them, they sound above their price.

Edit: I will keep looking for my endgame IEMs. Next purchase I think will be UM 3DT.

I've always really enjoyed the Vision Ears 8 for rock and metal music.
I absolutely love how the Fearless Lancelot sounds with rock and metal. Based on the graph, I would think the VE8 also sounds great with metal.

That's all I wanted to know bud, the total different tuning from the S8's got me curious. From what I understand they need to be cranked really high to sound great? I read multiple reviews stating this and I don't listen that loud, max 50-55 on the R3Pro Saber. If it was let's say 500-600$ it would have been a good option to consider, if I spend close to 1k, I'd look at other options like maybe the Mest or something used.
Have you pushed it up it's limits with speed? Do they hold up well for blast beats?

This was posted on the new MEST MKII thread by Unique Melody themself!


That's the first time I've heard any manufacturer even considering metal while tuning their iem.
