The hype train reached my station 🚉

First visual impression: gorgeous! 🦋

They match Orpheus perfectly, and its opposite color of the AP

Have fun, really a beautiful unit! Curious to read your impressions, still being blown away by mine daily.

Guess a man would be keeping this safe at home before going on vacation. 🙂

Yeah the TOTL stuff ruined me, after it became the norm Its hard to enjoy “lesser” gear (at risk of sounding elitist, but its how I feel)

So my main concern with this IEM upfront was the nozzle.

I actually have quite small ear canals, and in the past have been an issue.

Looking at apx se, I thought it might be the same here.

But nothing is further from reality, these fit like a glove 🤩
And due to it low weight and little pressure, its almost like not wearing anything.

Shape and fit really can make or break an great IEM. So happy these fit so well!

Definitely not judging. I’m in a similar boat, running around with the trifecta in my ear 😅

Very curious to hear your write-up and see how it compares to Amber Pearl :)

Luck has it that I happen to know someone who could take care of Apx SE while you're resting your noble parts on some remote beach :)

Sounds like an international man of mystery. Providing a valuable service making sure audio products are secured and well loved. Perhaps one day this international man of mystery can tell me in secret code what beer he or she likes. We can meet in secret and talk about the audio gear.

Let me quickly share in this private chat:

No need to talk about audio gear though as there's way too many more interesting things to talk about.

There's also a 4.9% La Chouffe Light version for p#ssies by the way 😣

excellent review as always. I know you only have so many hours in the day, (and so many top tier sets on hand), but did you do any comparisons against the traillii?
