Maybe I'm off base, it's been a while since I've heard it, but I kinda feel like the Globe is like what the iBasso IT00 wanted but failed to be (I know a lot of people really liked it but I found it too muffled, too unsophisticated in its coloration). Of course, it is almost 5 times the price...

I auditioned the double zero as well as the 01s.
I can confirm that, the former is nearly basshead level tuned, and of course not on the level of clarity w/ the Globes.
The Fans have a better presentation, then again the Fans are more expensive, too.
The 01s is obviously the muffled one. Detailed, sure but muffled, fast treble roll of...

Volt vs Mest Mk2
I’d listen Tansio Mirai Land😋, very similar volt design... 2EST less 1BA more

You should listen IT04 or AM05 but not in the same league of IT07 that is my favorite one under 1000$, until I listen something better🤪

The Volt really does have very lush and smooth sounding vocals. I’m lovin’ the general Sonion BA sound for mids.

I think Sonion BAs are my overall preference for BAs for mids, also.

ePro Horn maybe best tips yet, also super comfortable. Bass is mellowed thus increasing tonal balance, and everything sounds extra buttery and cohesive but without notable loss of resolution or detail. Actually these tips bring the Globe up a good half notch sonically (don’t ask me what that means cause I don’t have any idea other than it sounds about right).

I don’t think I’ve ever heard sweeter sounding cellos from an IEM before (though the Volt is now basically perpetually haunting my peripheral vision).

I also realize now that I was under appreciating the excellent layering ability of the Globe, there is admittedly less apparent instrument separation due to the warmth and forwardness of the mids but the soundstage is actually superbly well layered, just in a very organic way. The Globe makes analytical listening fun.

How does the Globe compare to the other IEM’s you own?

Does anyone know of any discounts on the Globe?
