Really good offers here! (deep down (and rather selfishly), though, I'm glad the Volür isn't on sale as I just bought it full price) 😃
Agree... those are great prices.

My first thought was also, "is the Volür on sale too?" I got mine soon after it was released. If it was on sale, I would've felt bad for a few minutes, but then I got to enjoy them over a month sooner.

I'm curious, have you heard either the Monarch II or III or the MEST II or III and have a rating for their bass quality/quantity?
Yeah I have heard all of them.

Monarchs have better bass than the MEST’s and generally more “normal“ sounding sets with good dynamics. A solid subwoofer-like bass but not the greatest texture if comparing to Volur.

MEST MK3 is the least bassy to me, goes for a more ethereal and holographic sound but the bass is not very satisfying. I still like MEST OG most, but again, bass isn’t really its forte.

Thanks. To me the Volur is the measuring stick for bass in my limited experience. Since they are 100% my keepers, I figure they can be used as a reference point for other IEM's in that regard lol

It's a good bar to set. Not many IEMs are going to match up, I can tell you.

Apologies if it has been asked before already but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.
Does anyone know if the 2 pin UTWS5s would fit the UIEMs and CIEMs?
Yes, the 0.78mm 2 pin version of the UTWS5s should fit our universals. For CIEMs the sockets are designed for 0.75mm 2 pin connectors, so it may damage the socket or cause it to loosen, we don't recommend it.

Waiting for certain reviewers for a complete picture of the Volur in lieu of getting to demo them... as well as comparisons. Anyone else speculating what the new isobaric and tia waveguide tech could do for other potential successors? Fingers crossed for a Fourte successor that doesn't kill its magic by tilting the emphasis from sub-bass to mid-bass like the Noir.

Apologies if this has been explained before, what is the philosophy behind .75 instead of standard .78 for CIEM?

Not many after market .75 seem to exist.

Are there any cables sold with angled 0.78mm 2pin connectors , like the 64 cable but a better quality one ?
The quality on the 64 Audio cables is good, they have a few different ones in their webshop. If you want something different looking and feeling I have also seen ivipQ cables with the same angled 2-pin. They seem to have good QC and quality on their cables. Some of the other AliEx vendors can be more questionable. 😅

Also, using the u12t and u4s , are these gonna be ok using a straight 0.78mm connectors ?
This will depend on your ears☺️. For me angled 2-pin or short straight 2-pins works the best- Long recessed 2-pin variants seem to make it more difficult to get a good seal and comfort.
