      good option, here in Latin America the reviewers were very supportive of its early release to the market. On the other hand, I understand that it has a significant size, perhaps uncomfortable. Thanks again

    I keep getting blown away by the depth of specific examples that you give to illustrate the performance of the set... and I think you did a very good job at partitioning your opinion of the set and of the company (marketing bs). Thank you for the review, it was very informative. I appreciate your unique and brutally honest approach.

    I got my MP145's and they sound great especially at low to medium volume levels. How I'd describe them as intimate sounding like the singer is singing directly to you vs. you sitting and watching the band (hope that makes sense). Almost like analogue sounding vs. digital (which is a unique preference). However, at high volume, I think these have too much energy in the treble frequencies which makes everything sound a bit busy like cymbals constantly crashing in my face. (I have only used the balanced nozzles and eartips)

    Again thanks for keeping it real. I work for a major nonprofit and I can tell you we button things down before our name is ever used (contracts, State filings, etc.). You just cannot mess around in this litigious environment. A for profit entity who indicates that they are publicly announcing a promotion must follow through with it, but we are talking about Chineses companies and the State Attorney Generals typically would not take on a case like this. My two cents. . .

    I've had the S12 for a year now and wanted another planar hopefully with a better fit for my ears. I've considered Timeless AE, Melody and Dunu Talos but ultimately I ended up ordering the Heyday. I decided on it based on a supposedly more neutral presentation compared to other planars - we'll see. This one and Melody also look very interesting so maybe I'll pull the trigger on one of these in the future. Planar IEMs bring best bang for buck IMO, it's just the tuning that needs work. That being said, I'm looking forward how the upcoming S15 turns out!

    • @LateBandwagon

    • @blorg8206
      @blorg8206 9 місяців тому +2

      Heyday is better than the MP145, IMO. You have a bit more in the upper mids/pinna gain which is no harm I think, this is a matter of taste but MP145 can be just a little too dark (even with the brightest nozzle). It's also a much better fit, the MP145 is HUGE and it's quite tricky to get a good fit.

  • @TheSecondof5

    this set got pretty good ratings from a lot of audio reviewers, but it seems that the controversy with the whale charity got in the way of it becoming known as a great planar. It's a shame, if they had only marketed it better or been more transparent with their "donations," this set woulda gotten a lot more love. Appreciate the review Chris!

  • @johnmcvicker6728

    Moderate price and 7s across the board - sounds pretty good. Never tried a planar and may have to take a look at this one or the 7Hz. But also am very interested in oter HBB x collabs out there. The hobby is interesting but I'm still not going for the high-end IEMs yet as the low-priced ones are doing so great.

  • @chickenpie9698

    I’m with many here who owns a S12/Pro/Z12, so it’d be nice if the review can compare these with the MP145. So far, just based off memory, this one seems better tuned with less planar timbre, which is a win all around. Timmy just reviewed a KEFINE planar too, so maybe you can compare it to that as well.

    in a situation like this, where the set is graphing very closely to your target, what is it going to take to get those 7/10 to be 9/10 or higher? will it be driver quality, driver type, driver count, or is the tuning limiting factor/bottleneck?

    To my ears the Heyday and the Timeless AE were the best solo planars I've used thus far. If this or the Melody at least comes close to the tuning of those two I'll definitely consider getting them.

S12 and its siblings were not for me, although I’ve always been interested in Michael Bruce’s Glamdring mod. I’m glad this set is out there and filling a need, but I passed on it myself.
    Would love to see a good midfi, hybrid planar that checks some of my boxes and gets me interested again. Until then, these just don’t work for my genres in most cases.
