I'm the opposite. MEST MKii stomps all over Bravado for me. MEST is just kind of boring. (shrug)
I think I just hate bassy IEM's, and that's all I've been buying lately. Turning away any that smell of bass anemia. But neutral and lacking in bass may be the truth I need that I've been reticent to acknowledge?
I almost lol'd when I heard Bravado after 100 hrs. $700? Is this a joke? They must hate their budget minded customers. Cause this is insulting or EE are technically incompetent. There is a 3rd reason, of course.
It's me. And I am the problem.
Oh, and my Mezzo is on the truck for today. STOKED!
It's shocking to me how differently we can all hear things. I loved the bass and treble on the Bravado...the treble in particular was spectacular and at the time I thought it was the best sub $1K IEM I'd heard. The Isa eats it alive though. MEST I just found uninspired-- the mids felt synthetic and the whole presentation had a "tuned by committee" feel...it was all very bland, especially after how much I'd loved the OG MEST. I think going forward I need DD mids to be really happy.
When did you order the Mezzo? I ordered mine a week ago from Amazon and it hasn't shipped yet :/
