Same here Ufranco. I think mk3 will be priced below 2.000 ( I hope so) and used mk2 should be priced around a fair 900/1000 depending on the status.

Good point it's been discussed debated so many times it's probably best to agree to disagree on this subject.

So back to the Mest MKiii any ideal on price point. I’m thinking somewhere btw the Mest MKii and indigo but hoping for lower. Been considering selling the Mest MKii before it losses anymore value and was wondering what a fair price would be.

Someone on another forum said it’s around 1700 now obviously take it with a grain of salt.

Would be interesting to see how these fair later. I might get the mkIII if there’s like a hifiman type upgrade scheme for mkII owners. ( not much hope for that but still )

Has anyone bought MEST MK2 in the past couple of months? Do you have a comply foam tips in the kit?
I don’t have these, and I also have a card without a USB flash.
Not that it was important, but since I saw all these things in all reviews, I'm slightly confused...

true

kind of like arguing if Marmite is tasty or a punishment; everyone has their own opinion

for me, I have tested different cables on IEMs and, to me, they can make a difference. not every time, but they CAN sometimes. I also am a believer in burn-in. I think anyone would if they owned any IMR IEMs.....

Yep, I've had 8 IMR sets and its undeniable and universal among every owner.... The go from good out of the box to horrible around 50 hours and spectacular 75+ depending on model

Musicteck had them on sale in both November and December for 899 and the MEXT for 825. That I think is about the Benchmark. Posted today https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/like-new-um-mest-mkii-unique-melody-mest-mark-2.42779/

Well said Holsen they WERE 899, now they cost 1,799 on the offical site and 1,499 from musikteck. Yeah, the ruthless market....

I bought mine at the end of last year, DOB on them was 11/2022. I did not receive any foam tips, just the xelastics and UM silicon. Also got a card and no USB drive.

White shell with black screw head for the storm trooper look would be dope (to me).

I would 100% take a $600 discount if they didn't send me any tips at all....not even a box.

side note re: musicteck, anyone have any huge issues with Andrew and exchanging/returing IEMs?

I sold my MKIIs and they have been total jerks to the guy I sold them too. A total nightmare story.

Keep in mind I returned mine after two days and bought directly from him. I know everyone praises him but I can see him being difficult in certain situations.

 

[feverfive]

A lot of praise that I recall is of the "yeah, I paid him.....and he shipped it to me within a couple days! Great service!" variety. I mean, cool, but that's the bare minimum afaic. Quality of service isn't tested until something goes wrong.
