I will most likely get a Mason FS in the coming months or a Fusang, although the atilla cable sounds much more appealing than that purple charm one that comes with the Fusang. Gotta save up!

Seems that @RTodd just grabbed the last one of FS for this batch.

Dude, you do you.

No need to justify your idiosyncratic irrationality.

We’re all cuckoo in the birdhouse.

I normally don't like people speaking for me, but I'm glad you said it. We've got to be mad. And indeed, more power to @aaf evo in his search!

I did see that, I assume there will be more( I am not certain as I have not checked the validity of my assumption..yet) as its for sale on Unique Melody's site. Or I will get the Fusang and purchase the Atilla cable separately. I am not in a big hurry and I want to read more impressions/reviews.

The second batch should be available in half a year from now.

That Atilla cable is indeed very nice, so is the faceplate of Fusang. Fusang + the Atilla will be a great looking pairing too. And, Atilla should work very well with the bird for vocal.

Can this IEM sound like an high end open back headphones or is asking too much?

Sorry about that beat you to it, I guess.
Got number 12, was expecting 19 as I thought Andrew had 2 left.

In some ways it sounds better I think.
More intimate, more isolating.

The over ear would have more space depending on which one.

@RTodd I think you and @toaster may have purchased the last of the Mason FS at musicteck. Seems you both bought them around the same time from the thread posts.

I have been A/B testing the Bird vs. Focal Utopia. In almost all categories including sound stage, the Utopia sounds better to my ear. It has better resolution, deeper and richer bass response. Given the Utopia's reputation of having a relatively modest sound stage for an open back headphone this surprised me. Where the Bird has an advantage is where isolation matters in having a black enough background to pick up on nuance. But, listening in a relatively sound proof room will probably solve it.

Sound like a high end open back? Yes, it’s the closest you can get with an IEM in my opinion.

What will be better or want you prefer is subjective.

Mine is only planned as a demo...then again I had the same plans for the bird.

I am not expecting to keep the FS, but I need to hear it before I’ll know for sure.

Fourte is probably on the way out after my brief reunion. Really glad to revisit this one. It sounds nearly identical to what I remembered...super weird and wonky, but it does have its unique charm. It still impresses me considering it came out so long ago. It does not compete with the traillii in any way, but I do enjoy its dd implementation, and for $2k it offers a very unique and technical (albeit quirky) listen.

Has anyone reviewed these compared to the Percivali?
Currently listening to the legend X SE and the Percivali mainly for non-customs.
