They changed the nozzle metal mesh filter, so there is that at least
Just saw themâŠexcellent review especially comparison. Seems WZ got the edge atleaat over S12. Thanks looking forward to more reviewsâŠStellaris what else is coming? Or floodingâŠ

Stellaris, Dunu Talos, budget Kinera Celest Gumiho, from the top of my head.
Gumiho doesnât seem to be a âtrueâ planar though. Kinera marketing definitely flexed their muscles on that one 
Iâm looking for a balanced planar, and there doesnât seem to be much offer: every good planars seem to be more or less v-shaped. Talos seems ok, but some review made me think twice about it; and I donât know if I want to pay that much for a switch and a ba that will probably never be usedâŠ
It is closer to a planar than any other driver out there though. But it has voice coils like DDs do.
Thatâs what the company told me as well.
Love the Uniti Atom HPE.

Just finished the full ShortBus modâŠholy cow, the filter change turns them into BASS CANONS⊠a little too dark for me but removing the nozzle restriction brightens things back up.
S12 is mine and many other local fans beloved planar iem.
See itâs power in 2 seperate death matches:

Hello there ladies and gents I have a question I hope one of you awesome people could help me with. I own a Z12 set and I want to try and eq them to a tuning like the Kai or the Mele (or if even possible the Mahina). Could anyone help lead me in the right direction to do this?
Hey Dave - have you tried to use Squig.link and the equalizer function? Itâs a fantastic tool to play around with. Give it a shot. If you choose the Z12âs graph first and then then whatever other IEM to EQ it to, it will give you PEQ values to apply in your app or device of choice.

Thanks Dom! 
I need to drop the reference target to flat to get the normal squig comparison Iâm guessing?
Thanks man, now Iâm just trying how to figure out how to translate that to my 10 band eq on my Walkman lol

Any time, Dave! Looks like Riku took care of your question. Any luck with the EQ? I remember one night I got so sucked in, I spent an hour and a half finding just the right EQ for the OH10 definitely worth it 
Also PS. Iâd try to utilize the EQ below 6-7Hz. EQâing the treble area is fairly pointless considering most couplers arenât accurate above there anyways. I would play around with it, but I wouldnât try to copy it exactly.
But let us know how you make out! Iâm just not familiar with the Sony software, or else Iâd dive int there for you!
While I have been able to somewhat figure out squiglink Iâm not there enough to apply things correctly yet like utilizing EQ below 6-7Hz and such lol
With my Walkman thid is what Iâm working with, maybe you can tell me what I should be typing in and such?
