How’s the Stellaris fit? They look odd.

on my ears, they jutted out a bit too far out for my comfort. using regular tips that i use, only the eartips that make contact to my ears while the body would hover.. maybe using smaller tips would do, but i didn't try it when i tested it.

I don't know if I am allowed to write here, being a new user.
if I am wrong, you will forgive me.

Coming to the point, it may be that the comparison I make does not make sense, given the price difference, but I have both the STELLARIS and the TALOS, and they have similarities in the sound signature (at least to my ignorant ears), but I find more detailed and pleasant to listen to the latter.

It has a serious Lt. Uhura look to it.

Re sharing here from Dunu thread. This new single dd from DUNU is pretty good. Personally was not able to connect much with the Titan S, this new set sounds much better. Specifically better body for vocals and instruments imo.

This is an interesting matchup to me. The Talos is very high on my list right now but the Stellaris seems to be in the same space signature wise.

How much are these? They look like $150-170ish judging by the stock case and cable.

Will probably be another IEM that competes with the Kato and Elixir.

S in technical performarce or S as a daily driver? That tuning is haaarsh
"S" may invoke some associations with shills, hype trains and updating these lists with every other new IEM coming with the fresh renewed enthusiasm, relying on very short term memories of these forums...

But then I am sure an honest enthusiastic opinion of a fellow Head-Fi-ier listening to thousands of them IEMs is not to be argued with :)

On another note, an idea of BA-planar hybrid with the switch, implemented in Talos, looks very attravtive. Two pins, finally(!!), but it is hard to get past this design, really alien.

Honestly I'm 100% sure that if we wait another 6 months we'll have "end game" planars being sold for $20. Wouldn't quite say being an early adopter is wise :D

No idea about price right now bro. But I feel like it will be under 100$.

Good spotting! The second one is "BVGP Scale Pro". :L3000: and has an "HVEK custom BA" in place of the smaller DD. Be interesting to see how the tuning has changed
Normal one:

Pro version :

I'd go for dd version just to see how that small dd performs. It wouldn't be that much resolving maybe but would expect metalic timbre from the BA.
