This is the same thing they said to me. 1-2 months and shipping both ways where the return is estimated at 50$ making it around 100$ in total.
They also agreed on doing this on 2,5 y.o. MEST OG, where I already started to see cracks on the QDC female socket plastic housing so that is quite cool on their side if you ask me.
But when I am thinking about sending it out for this much money I am on a verge of asking for custom version as this may be the best chance to try some cIEMs

Speaking of MESTs.
I was chilling today in one of a few calm moments of the day in one of the few sunny hours during polish winter month of February drinking coffee made of nice light roasted ethiopian beans.
I started the session with Unique Melodies in my ears and those are very cool, detailed and clean. But man, oh man - in such scenario of pure bliss those cannot hold the candle to Twilight as overall package from the perspective of taking pleasure from music listening. And it was those that ended up in my ears for the remainder of the session

Yeah I can at most maybe afford 700-800 max currently so Iām still locked from MSE,GMSE and Canpur stuff
Iāve seen some Mest MK2 reaching those so theyāre probs what I can grab for now.
I will keep in mind what you said about the grand maestro if I ever get there. Iām a recent basshead convert but I still put high priority on clinical clarity and resolution. Iām basically asking for everything lol
For now Iām saving up and brewing to see what the next jump will be. Gotta annoy the 46audio closest to me for demos when I visit the city

Yeahā¦apricot can shoot for the GOATā¦drop out and never get to experience the hobbyā¦
every person has a different price of admissionā¦whether or not it cost 20 ducats or 1000 ducatsā¦we all wind up on the same trackā¦itās just where you start in the race thatās different for us allā¦I just happen to have started further on down the road
Some people were lucky enough to have started their journey on the super budget sideā¦and maybe I missed out on that aspect of the hobbyā¦butā¦ the expensive stuff is

Less about broke and more like juggling 4 other hobbies lol
Scarlet mini you got it, is the vocals clear on it? Iām alright if theyāre not the top of the line but I enjoy super detailed highs
So I wanna know what Iām gonna be waiting 3 months for after ordering lol
Iāve been in the hobby on and off uneducated lol, only recently did I actually start learning stuff
I ended up skipping the 200s and jumped for 300s on the used market. Been a pretty frickin crazy ride with all the deals

The highs are brilliantā¦FF did a good job with cutting them into the bassā¦the mids come forward but you have to dip into the throttle to bring them out
Listened to a fair amount of '60s rock last couple of daysā¦the Whoā¦Beatlesā¦Yardbirdsā¦Doorsā¦you get the ideaā¦exceptional
Be forewarnedā¦you have to throw some serious power at itā¦there is no just no way around itā¦almost double the gain from what the MMk3 requires
Fine addition to the teamā¦

Well all I got is an go Blu and magnius but that sound terrific.
Iāll most likely cross out Maestro Mini, Meteor, Hype 4 and Neo 5 and focus on that then since FF is on my list of brands Iām definitely gonna own an IEM from lol

Totally. My first semi serious iem was an Etylmotic from like 20 years agoā¦ It was the worst thing i ever heard! Terrible terrible sound, with just one crappy resonant BA. The highs were so offensive, i was squinting on every snare hits, it had absolutely zero bass, nada, none lol. Then got some good headphones and only came back to iems a couple of years ago (actually thanks to hbbās channel)
So yeah the journey is the most fun part. Up to 6-700 there are very good sets, i still love my Xenns Up for example, itās not a state of the art sound, but itās very very relaxed just with good bass, i still enjoy it somehow almost as much as more expensive sets.
Ps: I second that on power requirement for the Maestro, any one of them, they love juice, by far the most demanding ones i have, itās like double the amount you need on the headamp dial.
