Hey bro, thanks for the trust.
I have a UM MEST MKII Custom
and a UM MEST MKI Custom.
I prefer the absolute isolation of a CIEM
Howeverā¦
You cannot sell it
It could just not feel right
I think the bone conduction driver works best with the unit being in the ear.
Thatās all just bullshit preference though.
I love mine but will not rec CIEM unless you have a lot of cash. If you can afford to gamble with $1500 and not feel sick if it doesnāt match your image then go for it.
If you are on the fence about itā¦get off the fence and just enjoy the Uniās

Those are some very good points, thanks for sharing them.
Found a local company called FlipEars relatively close to me that makes CIEMs but they only make full BA sets, starting with about $388 for a 2BA set all the way to $1899 for their 16BA set.
When I got time Iāll audition them and give my thoughts before considering jumping on a CIEM, but thatās a long ways away. But in any case, having a company you can literally drive to and visit for a custom builds confidence way easier than having one made in another country.
Besides still super happy with the Oracle and already missing it having shipped it back to get checked/repaired today

The Pinoy boys?
I have talked with them.
Slang in Hawaii for a Filipino is āFlipā
They turned that into a clever name. Seem like some cool dudes over there. Tell em I said Aloha! 
Yep
Iāll make sure if I decide to have a pair made from them haha.
They told me they got audition sets in a headphone shop in the city so thatās where Iām gonna test them when I find time in my sched(Probably gonna try out a few other headphones there too)

Reviews start to appear for the Evo, it will be very hyped for a while. I wished EE would do an Odin which is not fatiguing on the treble, with serious slam, I hope the Evo will achieve something close.
