People are actually making their own? Some that work, apparently (from thread):

Only the Null Audio was recommended at Massdrop?:
Another commenter here brought up Null Audio, they have a ~$22 USD cable with mic that should work (pick Westone/Noble/JH 2-pin termination).

There are others, but no feedback as to wether they work. Any thoughts?

Thank for this.

Got mine a couple days ago. Thoughts so far:

• Glad I ordered the balanced cable, b/c the single-ended cable was DOA. (Right side no sound)
• The included eartip selection is meh. Some of them were almost impossible to get over the nozzles, and the foam tips began to disintegrate in the attempt. The double flange ones are okay, though.
• Spinfit CP155 has been the most comfortable/best sounding for me so far. Spiral dots also good but seem to be too short for how the Plus fit, at least with my ears
• Sound is good, particularly the midrange. Treble a little bit rolled off, I guess? Which is my preference. Bass is okay. Isolation is okay. Soundstage is okay.

I think folks were asking about comparisons with the IT01 a few pages back? The Plus does not, I think, punch way above its weight like the IT01 does, and if you like the IT01's tuning, I would say that you're not missing much by skipping the Plus apart from a bit of detail. But if the IT01's congested or maybe just recessed midrange bothers you, and you aren't attached to dynamic bass, the Plus has a better tuning.

I have the ER4XR, Comets, IT01 and GR07 which I will be comparing the MD+ to once I recieve it.

My status is still processed at local distribution center...

Don't forget to compare to your Bravados as well!

...I received my MD+ IEMs a few days ago and after 20+ hours burn, I think the MD+ is more articulate and airy than both the GR07 BE and IT01 and that it has a wider soundstage. In comparison to the MD+, the IT01's highs sound grainy and its lower mids and bass are less controlled (to the point of being woolly). However, the lower bass and especially the sub bass on the IT01 is stronger (in a good way) than the MD+ to the point where I find EDM more enjoyable on the IT01. So far, I think the MD+ is a better IEM than the IT01 except when I need to feel sub bass - I'm hoping the MD+ will gain more sub bass with use (or burn-in).

With regard to comfort, the MD+ are the most comfortable IEM in my limited collection. I rolled eartips (Spinfits, Complys, Sybios) and still ended up preferring my go-to Spiral Dots.

Source was a Mojo.

Highly doubt the MD+ will be able to compete with my EE (sub-bass king).

I understand your comparison between IT01 and MD+. BAs (even three of them) can’t reach the level of sub-bass a dynamic driver gives.

Thanks I have the Spiral Dots on standby.

If one feels the MD+ has lesser sub bass I wonder how does ppl live with EtyS lol

You don’t listen to Ety for sub-bass. More for the trebles, instrumental layering and life-like vocals.

My EE Bravados have a lot of sub-bass but can’t play songs like Stairway to Heaven or a lot of bass-lite songs (ex: folk) compared to my ER4.

Uhmmmm, MD+ is an all BAs set up though so it will probably stay that way, no matter how much the amount of burn in you have.

Just got mine an hour ago, too early to comment much about the SQ. But the comfort level is outstanding, It's like if the IEMS were custom made for my ears.

One has to have hope LOL
...but yeah, I can’t say that I’ve noticed any substantial change so far.

I’m looking forward to your review. Also comment on fit and comfort if you can.

 

[kukkurovaca]

I wish I found the Plus as comfortable as most folks do. The shape of the hook-y part is not quite right for my ears, I think. Protrudes too far, maybe.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the MD+. A lot of impressions and reviews by other audiophiles seem to be pretty polarizing. I've seen people say the clarity is excellent and others say that the clarity is murky, which can mean that they perceive it be of subpar clarity.

I personally have heard it but I'll keep my mouth shut for the time being. I suspect some people just perceive warmer, more lifelike vocals as clarity.

No worries. I’ve also listened to the AKG N5005 = the ultimate reference for detail and clarity and the Empire Ears Legend X = a very musical IEM. I have good IEMs to refer to.

They're delivered! Time to pick them up after work.
