Submitted; when do you expect to give out details? Thanks!
Hi, I was supposed to release details and terms last weekend, but I was sick... It is kinda scary to get sick at this moment. But fortunately, it was just a common cold.
I will release the information about the schedule/details/terms this Sunday.
Do take care and stay healthy everyone!

hey all, longtime lurker here. created an account just to say that I also listened to the MEST, and I agree with Niyologist's take on them. here are a few additional observations:
  • I found the mids and treble to be fairly neutral and detail-retrieving, skewing toward bright depending on the track; modest amounts of energy and air in the upper treble without seeming overly fatiguing (though I only listened for about 30 minutes total across several trials); timbre seemed about right
  • the bass was tight and controlled, accurately reproducing scale tones down to ~30hz; in addition to these qualities, the bass conveyed a weight and richness that felt satisfying on the ear drums without bleeding into the lower mids; I A/B tested the MEST's bass against the 2x DD woofer implementation on the Empire Ears Legend X and felt that the MEST traded some raw impact for more refinement
  • despite being a 4 driver hybrid, the MEST felt coherent and the overall tuning "made sense" to me even on tracks that demand fidelity throughout the entire audible spectrum
  • the MEST was comfortable to wear for the period of time I had with it and sported a cool, multi-textured, urban aesthetic (available in blue and red) that felt more contemporary than classy
  • decent quality cable and I appreciated the 45° connection to the IEM that allowed the cable to fall smoothly behind my ears
my remaining question is about how the bone conductor and overall coherency of the IEM handle EQ, as I would want to tone down the potential brightness and pizzazz of the MEST for certain genres/moods. I am emailing a contact at Unique Melody with this query and can respond here with any information they provide.

overall, of the 20+ IEMs to which I close-listened with my portable gear at CanJam NYC, the MEST has stayed with me due to its 1) eclectic driver configuration, 2) engaging sound signature, and 3) decent price/value ratio compared against current TOTL offerings.

Is this a Shure kse1200 killer ?
At price tag $1500 in Japan, I hardly believe in another IEM can do the same perfomance.
Kse's cons is that it stuck to an amp

To those that have tried the MEST, Is there any amount of Driver Flex when inserting into your Ear?

I haven’t experienced any driver flex at all & I’m usually quite sensitive to it; I have smaller ear canals and regularly experience some flex with EE’s W9 DD equipped IEMs (LX, Bravado & Valkyrie).
