Dont know if thats a bass monster, but from other peoples reviews i dont believe it is.

I know nothing about it, just that it exists. Boy, have top-end CIEM's gotten expensive...

Yes! I tried in Hong Kong. The shell is bigger than before and bass is more deep. Pretty good improvement!

Is it still custom or is there also a universal version?
Any thoughts on the overall sound? You don't by any means own the first Merlin?

does the bigger shell means better? Thought for better fit should be smaller if not isnt it like protruding?

 

[equatordog]

To be honest, I hear that the new version Merlin is better, I am not sure it's due to the shell size or made sound adjust. The density of sound is better that before.

Nice, Merlin V1 bass is a lacking for me, hopefully V2 really as what you said

The look?

V1 is shorten

the Merlin v2 touch down in SG last night at Stereo

initial impression for the v2 after 30mins of listening with my zx2:

clean and extended highs,
sound signature is rather sharp and bright
not bass heavy, overwhelmed by the mids and highs. quantity bass but lack quality
analytical, but lack depth especially the bass which seems rather flat to me

it's pretty different from the v2 that i tested during Canjam in Singapore earlier this year, considering that i wanted to order the v2 immediately at the show.

retails in Singapore at SGD 1299, approx USD 960

That would be quite strange as the Merlin is supposed to be bass heavy.
I'm wondering, if they are just not able to make a good universal version, because I remember people complaining about the universal Merlin v1 - also lacking in bass.
