For anyone who's interested, just posted a review of the Bella up on Audio Primate (sorry it took so long, Thomas!):

https://audioprimate.blog/2018/04/03/ncm-bella-the-bella-of-the-totl-hybrid-ball/#more-7306

Got some comparisons to other 8-BA iems I have (U8, JH Angie and EE Athena) to give a little context.

TL;DR - I realllly like these IEMs.

Great Review!!!! But now i'm questioning wether I should have gotten the Bellas instead of the NC5's lol jk Jk. I got the CIEM version and Thomas was really helpful helping with the design. He has been nothing short of amazing answering every single question and doubt, very Proffesional. Hands down the best customer service one can ask for. Will post the pictures here when I get them. Thank you all and thank you Thomas! Even my Audiologist ( and a couple of my First Officers, because I might have been a wee bit excited hehe) are really excited to hear what they sound like I might have talked them up just a bit lol.

Oh Bro, Relax.

I spent my money on the NCM5 v2 after having reviewed both. The treble is sparkly...kind of NCM's trademark apparently and signature overall is the same

Thank you! No I'm totally kidding I am really happy with my purchase and the best part is he lets you upgrade to the Bella's at any time! Just pay the difference.

I came Home from a mini Vacation to find my Headphones had arrived!!!!
CIEM NCM NC5-V2
Now im no Audiophile so i cant give a review on audio quality and also I am not using a high end source. Just the CIPHER lightning cable from AAW to connect to my iphone X and using Spotify( on extreme ‍♂️). I am largely under using my CIEMS.
Even so I have owned the Audeze isine LX and Fender FX6 and these beat those hands Down. The Audeze aound quality was supererb but the fit was HORRIBLE, Huge wouldnt go in my ears and consistantly fell off. But with the NC5's its the same sound quality ( a bit less loud ) but a PERFECT fit super comfortable. The quality is incredible. No matter hOw badly I tuned the EQ or how high it was hard to distort. Honestly Its like owning a Lamborghini in a small town with short roads and speed bumps. All my music is in Spotify ALL of it so I just cant get these past 2nd gear. So if anyone has some good advice on a HI-FI player with Spotify or Tidal or something with a great built in Amp qnd DAC i am all ears.
The only "downside" about these CIEM's is that I like my music LOUD! And When using the same source with other iems they are a bit louder like The Audeze. At full volume the audeze were too loud unbearably and began to distort even but 1-2 clicks below and the volume was Still very Loud with no distortion. But these NC5's I can Turn them as far up as it goes and not a hint of distortion, also not the same decibels, but like i said " downside " is they leave you wanting More!! But unfortunately my source just cant do it. Even with the built in mini amp on the CIPHER. Just ti emphasize its fault of my source ( and ears ) not the CIEM's they can just handle so much power! And keep going they hare hars to distort.
The craftsmanship is incredible and customer service is 10/10. Theres nothing i can say on this subject other than WOW. Thomas and his crew very professional. They made a small mistake thaT only my picky ass Noticed on one of my faceplates and he fixed it with out me even asking. I just pointed it out, ans expected them to be shipped that way but no he replaced the faceplate And I still got them before i planned. the turn around was fast and I live in Chicago, literally other side of the world from them. He even answered and explained all my stupid noob questions.
( Sorry i am all over the place i an writing down things as i think of them )
If you have the money i highly recommend them. Even the case that they come in is sweet! Ill post some pictures later.
So please any recommendations on sources maybe amps for the Iphone or ways to listen to new songs with out needing to buy albums that'd be great.
Thomas a special thank you to you. You have made my 1 hour commute to work on the Train 100% worth it haha
