Oh my goodness - the dreaded MEE audio god damned weird pole connection thingy - I have two
Sets of MEE audio IEMs and the cables were probably
Some of the worst cables I’ve ever experienced in the hobby and not being able to easily change them out annoyed me so bad, to the point I had to stop using them.

Don’t do this to us, 7hz. Please.

NiceHCK NX7 MK4… With the black filters (most tame), spiral dot tips (further taming treble) and Questyle M15 running from smartphone.

First impressions are very good!! You have to be okay with an incisive sound however. More to come :slight_smile:

Do you think it might have a similar tuning to the previous ones?

First impressions tell me it’s not quite that warm? The black filter that I am using is the new one and is decidedly calmer than the other too. Very well behaved treble there with Black filter, imo. I do suspect there overall signature is still intact, as in elevation around 6-9k and massive air infusion, but somehow it is not obnoxious to me. It is somewhat “clacky”.

I love it though, very clear and pristine sound. Cuts nicely through whatever overabundant warmth is shown in the frequency graph. It is a V after all :slight_smile:

@hawaiibadboy based on your library wich set do you prefer? SoftEars RSV or DUNU SA6 Ultra?

Softears RSV :v:

I think SA6 U is an improvement on the original.
Bass switch is almost a non factor though.
I think Softears RSV is a top 10 set so there is that bias to consider.

Would you take RSV over the Oracle MKII if price wasn’t a factor? Any particular key points to why? I’m trying to decide between which one to pickup next.

Yes, I would take RSV over Oracle MKII

RSV is a poor man’s U12t. It is all BA but has accurate/monitor like replay in the low end.
*the real reason it is like the u12t is the odd pinch of reverb that seems to cover the whole replay.
Has a musicality that is not due to elevated midbass/sense of note weight.

I thought U12t and Anole VX could be considered “boring”

RSV and Elysian DIVA are 2 all BA sets that maintain the techs but seem to be more lively and not at expense of perceived accuracy.
