Introducing MusicTeck x Quill Acoustics Satin — Crafted by MusicTeck, Engineered to Inspire

[MusicTeck]

MusicTeck x Quill Acoustics--Satin
​

At MusicTeck, we've spent over a decade helping audiophiles discover sound that moves them. With Satin, we set out to create something truly our own — a product that reflects our vision, our tuning philosophy, and our deep connection with the audio community.

Satin is the culmination of countless hours of R&D, testing, and refinement. We partnered closely with Quill Acoustics to bring our ideas to life, combining advanced driver technologies with thoughtful acoustic design. From the very beginning, we led every stage of development — shaping the sound signature, optimizing the structure, and ensuring every detail meets the standards we've come to be known for.

Our goal was simple: deliver a high-performance IEM that competes with the best, while remaining accessible to those who share our passion for music. Satin is our answer — rich, detailed, and emotionally engaging.

This is not just another collaboration. This is MusicTeck’s voice — now yours to hear.

Looking at the finition I'm not sure if they are they filled with something?

 

[Death_Block]

Not often an iem gets me tingly…

Edit, oh.

 

[daijobudes]

Would be interested to try!

 

[Jacobal]

If this is similar or even do better than the famous APX iem while being half the price, it’d generate interest quickly.

The 'accessibility' and 'exceptional value' in question: $3300

3 or 4 years ago that would be among the most expensive IEMs on the market, if not the most expensive lol

shell looks very cool tho

Oh, time flies, and you probably meant 8 years ago when 64audio U18t ($3k) and Fourte ($3.5k) were introduced. Then, 5 years ago, we had MMR Thummim ($4.5k), VE Erlkonig BLE ($5k), and Oriolus Traillii ($6k). Today, we have $8.5k-$9k flagships, one recent $14k flagship, and even a $16k iem/amp/cable Fugaku. I guess their $3k early bird price does make it a budget-priced IEM Btw, Satin sounded pretty good when I tried it at the recent CanJam NYC show.

Anyone can answer Satin's sound signature?

Is it more of a V-shaped, U shaped, or W shaped sound signature? Neutral sounding?

Sorry, but 3K USD iems or items in this hobby is not considered "budget".

Well, the worst case is that the 3 to 5k iems sound budget and nothing that blows you out of the water.

For some bank accounts that may be the best case scenario instead.

In the context of my reply to a person who said that $3.3k was the most expensive iem on the market 3-4 years ago, I moved the timeline to 8 years ago with my provided examples. I discussed the exponential rise in iem pricing, adding a smiley face to note that. Relative to today's pricing, $3k could be considered budget-priced. Nothing more or less, bud.

This hobby still offers iems at a $25 price tag, with others being upset about overpriced $100 earphones. As a reviewer, I assume that people pay for what they can afford. High-priced products exist because there is a demand for them, regardless of whether we can justify the pricing, and there are plenty of choices within each price tier. Cheers!

... and since I can't add another reply to this thread due to a rule against double-posting, I'm editing my post, noting Satin's sound signature as W-shaped, and providing the FR measurements below.

I was just made aware that the CanJam NYC version of Satin did not have the final tuning, so I removed my FR measurements. Which also means that the measurements someone else shared above are NOT the final Satin tuning. The final Satin tuning will have a more natural, relaxed treble, giving the sound a richer, organic tonality.

How would you compare it to the APX SE, given it is also a hybrid with planar driver, DD and the Satin even comes with BCD?

Sorry, I couldn't compare it; the APX SE shell nozzle didn't fit my ears at all, as it requires a deeper fit, and I couldn't properly analyze it.

By the way, I edited my original post, which you quoted, removing the FR measurement since the CanJam NYC demo pair didn't have the final tuning. I don't want to confuse people because the final tuning will have a more relaxed natural treble, and perhaps that will be a difference from APX SE, as I recall people discussing its brighter treble presentation.
