Unique Melody Bone Conduction Family (MEST&MEXT and their siblings) Announcement and Impression Thread.

My MEST Mk 1 cable has bit the dust, anyone got recommendations for a replacement, preferably a little more lightweight and flexible for portable use, I take it the connector needs to be QDC?

Thanks

Had a chance to compare Mest MK II with Mentor and Omnium, for me Mest all the way, the speed, detail, resolution and soundstage imho goes for the Mest, like DD driver more instead of ba but that is me.

Any way to repair cracks in the carbon fiber shells of MEST? I noticed that mine has cracks along the edges of faceplate (dont know why and it seems that it developed without any physical shock to the unit) and I wonder if it will propagate. Has anyone experience the same issue?

I’d send it to UM

Yeap. If they still care several years old product. Probably I will use until they break and then go custom fit.

I would send them to UM as their customer support is excellent...

I sent my Mest OG to them last year and got flush 2 pin sockets fitted instead of the QDC style and a full refurbishment (free campaign at the time) which didn't take too long The change to flush sockets was a cost option but not too sure if they still do it.

And what do you think Craft Ears Omnium vs Mest MK II? Detail, resolution, soundstage, speed which are a league above?

I would have to say, especially based on your specifics, this would have to go to Omnium. It is a 10 at each of those things.

I hope to be able to try some UM IEMs at Canjam Socal this year. I'm really interested in the bone conduction they use.

May I ask your thoughts about the Indigo vs. MKIII?

Heard them both, but contrary to what others say, the difference between them is more apparent for me - Indigo is a bit more brighter while MKIII on the warmer side.

Finally, a KZ BT (XZ10) adapter that can decently drive the Mest MK2.

Did you have to mod them? The hooks endings are recessed on these. So they sort lossless aptx?

I did mod the 2pin (cut the sleeve off) connector on the XZ10. I haven't tried lossless AptX yet.

UM Mest Indigo with KZ XZ10.
