I was initially set to get the IE-600!

It will be interesting to see comparisons between the two since they're both new single DD IEMs in the same price range.

and here I was just about pull the trigger on a 12 Classic V2 - reserved!

what price range would that be do you think?

700-ish USD/EUR

It's not my personal guess, just what early reviewers are saying, dunno why they listed it as "TBC".

What no fancy material science buzzwords for the DD?

That's a Keeper. But the incoming Advar is in between the Solo and the Penta...

yeah I didn't know where this was landing on their lineup. didn't get on with the Solo that much but the 12 Classics V1 were absolutely brilliant!

@MezeTeam out of sheer curiosity are you updating the 12 Classics any time soon (V3) or should I just pull the trigger?

 

[Scubadevils]

Looks great, look forward to hearing more about this.

Subscribed.
I am dying to compare them to the IE600 and FDx.

 

[ThanatosVI]

My go to IEM is the Rai Penta.
I'm curious about direct comparisons
