No not bright.So close to pulling the trigger on the MEST but reports of fit issues holding me back. Also, maybe I'm reading wrong but are they a bright IEM? I have DUNU ZEN, SA6 and XBA-N3 - love both DUNU and enjoy the N3 but fit issues with them so that's further fueling concern on the MEST.
This would be my first >$1000 IEM, want to spend wisely!
Fit was no issue for me once I found the right tips.
