Meze Audio’s newest single-DD IEM - ADVAR

[Ichos]

Hopefully you can bring in a comparison with Rai Penta

I will do my best despite the lack of free time...

I wouldn't confuse warmish with treble extension.
The Rai solo is forward sounding and maybe the most bright and less relaxed Meze creation.
Advar is relaxed, full bodied , liquid, smoother but still highly resolving.

I haven't tried any Meze yet, not even the full-sized headphones.

You're missing out man!

Mine will be here tomorrow! Hopefully my 4.4 MMCX will be here as well. I'll post some thoughts.

If they don't look like the Hifiman sound, I think I'm not going to like them.
That's the type of sound I love.

The only model with HiFiMan like sound is the Rai Solo.

Any comparisons with the IE 600 yet?

Everything that is Made in Romania is beautiful and ADVAR is no exception.
ADEVĂR means ( Truth ).

Advar means talisman or amulet. that's coming from a Romanian native speaker...

Yeah, I am struggling if to buy this just because of its beautiful design. Still holding for more reviews to come out.

Headphonia reviewed it and preferred over most good iems.
Don't want expensive iems anymore, just common iem for now....

Won't Bloom Audio be able to help?

We'll see that's the thing. "Beginning of May" isn't a date. It's just odd there isn't an actual release date.

Are those the JH Audio Jolene? Those shells are beautiful!

It's quite common in the industry now. With COVID still being a thing, mainly affecting shipping and supply chain issues, it's often more logical to provide an estimate versus running the risk of missing a hard date because of things that are out of the manufacturer's (Meze) control.

They are indeed, even more so in person!

I got to try out the Advar briefly at Axpona 2022 and agree with these impressions!
