    Unique Melody MEST MKII INDIGO Earphones (Limited Edition)

    16.3K viewsNov 2021

    The reviewer finds the MEST MKII Indigo to be an improved version of the original MEST MKII, with better treble quality due to the additional two EST drivers and a slightly toned-down 3-6.5kHz region. The low end and midrange are essentially identical to the MKII, which the reviewer already considered excellent, and the overall tuning matches their musical library well. They praise the build, cable, and removable nozzle, and conclude it is a genuinely better set, though limited to 200 units.

    The reviewer compares the Monarch MKII to the original Monarch and finds the MKII a clear improvement, especially in male vocals, which now sound more natural and authentic. The bass guitar and kick drum also show better definition and authority, though the reviewer notes it still may not satisfy bassists seeking self-monitoring. Overall, the MKII is seen as a well-executed refinement that splits the difference between the original Monarch and the Clairvoyance.

    FiiO FD7 Earphones Review (1/DD Beryllium)

    12.4K viewsSep 2021

    The reviewer finds the FiiO FD7 to be a good but not outstanding all-beryllium single dynamic driver earphone. It has solid bass and clean treble, but the mid-bass lift is audible and the bass quality doesn't surpass cheaper alternatives like the FD5. The reviewer notes it lacks the top-tier low-end accuracy of some competitors and may not suit those who prefer neutral vocals or extra treble sparkle.

    The reviewer finds the CCA NRA to be a budget dual-driver earphone with a sharp, intense treble that is not to his personal taste, though he acknowledges it may appeal to fans of similar bright-sounding sets. He notes the bass is mid-focused and lacks sub-bass impact, and while the build and cable are decent for the price, the overall tuning is too aggressive for his library. He suggests it's cheap enough to try for those curious about the driver configuration.

    The reviewer finds the FiiO FD3 to be a very good single dynamic driver earphone that, for his music library, sounds better than the more expensive flagship FD5. He notes the tuning is nearly identical to the FD5, but the FD3 delivers more substantial bass and better overall performance in his listening tests, making it a strong value at $130. He concludes it is not the best in its class but is a compelling option, especially for those who found the FD5 too heavy or open.

    The reviewer finds the KBear KS1 to be a solid budget earphone at $19, especially for bass-heavy genres like hip-hop and EDM, where it delivers strong impact and energy. However, vocals can sound recessed and slightly grainy, and cymbal quality is not as refined as the pricier KZ DQ6.
