@miceblue felt it was really sibilant when he listened to it at RMAF: https://head-fi.org/threads/canjam-...2017-impressions.862096/page-20#post-13782512
Didn't leave a good impression on him.

Interesting impressions. Heard the original Sphear, and didn't find those sharp, so wonder if they retuned the S variant?

Spotted something else when I was looking around as well - Fidue have a new model out (A85 "Virgo"). Could be another very interesting triple hybrid, of they bring anything down from the Sirius in terms of the acoustic chambering. Anyone else heard any chatter on these yet? Not seen much about them on the usual threads.

I caught a glimpse of those as well. They look like they're smaller and a little more ergonomic than the Sirius at the very least. Seems they're the replacement for the A83, which would make sense when thought about with another previous set of Fidue models: A63 being replaced by the A65.

Just got my 64 U8s. Listened to them for a short time, wow, nice bass layer. Need some time to adjust my hearing to them. Swapped cables already as I do not like the ones that came with it. I am really digging these. Will post some impressions later...must attend to the trick or treaters...

Welcome to the wonderful world. :wink: I too swapped the cable, but their premium cable instead of stock. Still looking for a decently priced replacement cable...

Did you get any other Apex modules other than the stock m-20?

I only got the M20. May invest in the M15 later...

Cables for the Orion came in. Took a while.
They sound overly bright however, maybe because I just came from the RE400. But still.
Unfortunately the cable doesn't work on my phone. It's too noisy anyway, I guess I'll leave these home.

Just heard about the news in Manhattan, troubling times. Thoughts and prayers with those who are there.

Ok I've read quite a threads now and have narrowed my investment between the Mee audio P2 and the Moni One (100 vs 85eu).
Or perhaps, not going as high of an upgrade from my kz ZS5v2 / Swing IE800 /XE800 (mini budget here), and settle for the BGVP DM5 or the SHOZY Hibiki in the 60eu.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be many with the Moni One to do a direct comparison.
One other thing I'd like to add to your decisions: you'll probably want to buy a new cable if you get the P2. My total came out to the P2 for $100 plus $15 for a new cable. The stock cable on the P2 is not good, to me at least. It's not very flexible and it has a ton of memory character to it. So what if an IEM's shell is ergonomic? Ergonomics flies out the window if the cable attached to it is the exact opposite.
For reference, this is the cable I'm currently using on my P2.

Got my red ZS6 today :)

Lucky! I did the Massdrop for it like 5 minutes before you posted they were available now elsewhere, lol. I'll get mine some time this month they say. I look forward to hearing what you think of the ZS6.

Also, I'll get my Hidizs AP200 this month as well. It'll be a good November.
