I took my theoretical refund and bought a Campfire Polaris which I've been really happy with and has replaced my LZ A4 as my main IEM. If I ever get my actual refund it'll go to paying down my credit card.

Seems all roads lead to Campfire Audio.

Exactly where I went, Andromeda!!!
Haven’t touched my Icarus IIIs since and probably won’t touch the IVs if they turn up.
Will sell both and keep the Hyperion

Glad that you could get the refund after over a year, was it £500 at the beginning for hunter?

Yes

I had read somewhere that the Vega has too much bass almost on a true basshead level and it is more focused on mid bass and less sub bass , is that true,??

I’m kind of a novice to reviewing headphones but I’ll give your question a shot. The level of bass is definitely higher than any other IEMS I have owned. I happen to like bass so it is quite pleasing to me. I don’t think I have enough experience to discern between mid and sub bass. I can tell you it is very present but not at the expense of mids And highs.

I hope this answers your question. I think I need to go to headphone review school...

My trinity journey finally came to an end today.

It's too bad it had to end up this way, because the Icarus3 is a genuinely good IEM. It's everything I had thought the PM4 was going to be back when this journey started well over a year ago.

Oh well. At least it's over now.

Sounded like a good enough explanation to me. If it helps at all, I always categorized the two in terms of mid-bass being one that's much more "hearing" and sub-bass as much more of a "feeling" sorta thing. Still, a bit difficult to think of sometimes and you can hear both, but my point being that to me, mid-bass is more towards the end of just hearing it while sub-bass is a mix of hearing and feeling it.

Hunter/pm6?

Nay. Icarus3.

Nope mine led to Earsonics ES3. Damn these are fantastic!

Question for you guys.

For those of you who pulled the trigger on a Hunter, let's pretend you got your refund. What would you buy in it's place?

I don't need pretend, I got my refund just before Canjam, and bought a pair of Noble Audio Katana. Yeah, I know they are "slightly" more expensive but they just blew me away!

Thanks! I appreciate that explanation. Given that I would say this is probably more mid than sub. My main goal with any headphone is to be able to hear all instruments and their characteristics. Of all the headphones I have tried the Vega for me is the best at providing that. I mostly listen to rock and alt rock, and these really give me the ability to hear everything including bass drum and bass guitar.

At least you are satisfied with the iems.
