They are here....the mythologised pure Beryllium driven.........Believe!!! I've given them a couple of hours 'break in', but brain burn-in and empirical burn-in are yet to happen. Tested Hans Zimmer, Dark Night, 'Why so Serious' (about 3.20 onwards) for sub-bass a few hours ago and then now. Sub-bass is now very good. Ambitionz Az A Ridah, 2PAQ, mid bass thumps now. Vocals really good timbre, highs good for my aged ears......you may be more sensitive if you are younger. Can't compare to £1700 or $2000 Beryllium IEMs as I'm just a poor Buddhist living day to day, but these stand up to anything I have bought recently. The thing I notice about recent IEM's like the LZ A7, the Tape Pro and this Believe is the wonderful timbre, which immediately makes music 'Believable'. Tuning is becoming an art. I played some tracks that are often congested with some IEMs. The Believe's have great clarity and separation/layering with those tracks. Now to give them time to burn-in. Pure Beryllium gives a pure sound.

Edit

Listening with HiBy R5, 4.4mm balanced TRi Through cable, Spiral Dot L tips. Listening using same outfit to the KBear Lark right now.

I give you a heads-up, it's tuned between $1700 and $2000.😊

The Believe has a beautiful musical tone. It recovers highs and details impeccably. Ornette Coleman's, 'Tears Inside' and 'Focus on Sanity' are quite stupendous listening through the Believe. Where it lags a little, is in soundstage and imaging compared to multi drivers, like the TRi Starsea and the LZ A7, which have stunning soundstages, especially the Starsea. Tonality, Timbre are so musical. Bass notes like double basses and skins of drums and cymbals are stunning on the Believe. As good as I have ever heard. Listening now to Focus on Sanity by Ornette Coleman. Phew...

👍👍👍👍

What source are you using?
Tidal UAPP. I just swap 4.4mm UPOCC cable from SPC cable, slow down the speed substantially. Dun like it. Will try graphene next.

On the other hand, my intended mmcx cable came for A7. What a revelation!!!

What hardware source? Just trying to get what your volume is in relation to.

Liking the IEM? Do you have anything more to say about him?
Trying to give it some time. For the price it’s quite good but I’ve been listening to some heavy hitters 10x the price lately so I’m trying to cleanse the mental palette before making any firm opinions.

On my HiBy R5, using balanced 4.4mm, usually, say for the TRi Starsea or LZ A7, I have the volume at 30/100 high gain. With the Shuoer Tape Pro about 40/100, the Believe at about 44/100, all to get the same volume.

I really like the Believe, it doesn't hold back at all. At the moment I am really impressed, we'll see if that changes in time.

Regarding this graph, other than the amount of overall bass, and mid bass in particular, it looks quite appealing to me. Of course how it actually sounds is all that matters.

Ca you confirm my findings between all copper vs silver plated cable on BElieve? I can hear substantial speed increase.in SPC cable. If so, this BE driver is responsive to cable swaps.

nice awaiting your impressions... I cancelled the Lark, since Believe is UnBelieveable... lol
