Iām having the weirdest experience this weekend. Terrible sleep several days in a row, never having a chance to listen to these or other IEMās in any environment other than a car or in an apartment with the noise of the AC blasting in the backgroundā¦
And I find myself not having joy with the Xenns UP. But then I tried the MEST, my always-joy when Iām at home (Iām on a road trip now). And even now, trying the MEST, Iām not finding joy either. Then the Clairs, same thing.
Does this ever happen to people or am I screwing up my brainās acoustic expectations with all this testing and back and forth?
Iām telling myself itāll be better when I get back home, when I get a good sleep, and listen in a quiet room again. Maybe with a glass of whiskey.
I just need to be careful not to tell you all my opinions under these circumstances because nothing is doing it for me right now.
It totally happens. Sometimes Iām just not in the mood, or I feel like Iām stressed or maybe even had one too many cups of coffee and then Iām like āWhy is this thing that I liked yesterday bothering me right now?ā. Frame of mind is a big factor in listening enjoyment.
If you watch folks do reviews enough you can see when they are not in the game.
Scariest vids are ones a casual has no idea is a bash job because a person was being ā¦human. Not intentional but I have sat up 30 seconds into vids and knew somethin was offā¦

Just a bad damned day
Oh and side note pertaining to potential quality control issues with the UPā¦
When I first tried them, there was an odd white noise type of sound on them and then the music stopped mid playback. They started up again and I think they were the same quality as before this sound occurred. I donāt know why Iām only thinking of it now but it happened within the first minutes of trying them.
Did a driver die or something and Iāve been loving them regardless? Lol
Musicteck has awesome customer service! I had a problem with a dap I bought from them and took amazing care of me! I canāt recommend them enough. Theyāre great!
Well this sucks! Literally my FAVORITE track to compare the Xenns UP against the MEST, to show where the Xenns UP is actually more enjoyable for meā¦is blocked on YouTube
I uploaded a private video with recordings of my āReferenceā playlist, just to see what YouTube would show as copyrighted or not, and to what degree it would harm the video being published. I was pleasantly surprised to see some tracks not even identified (so I wonāt get in any trouble for them) and all but one track are fine to use, but will simply lead to me being demonetized. I donāt care about ad money so Iām happy
Highway to Hell though guysā¦so good on Xenns UP. SO good!
The Xenns UP review video should be up on my channel in a week (I hope), pending when I receive my binaural recording dummy head.
How is the QC so questionable on the UP, while the Tea hasnāt really has any significant QC issues that I know of. When so many of the initial purchasers are disappointed, it makes me wonder about an first run manufacturing issue.
Received the replacement cable today. It is extremely interesting that the new cable has a completely different (unremovable) sheath compared to my originalā¦
Mine should be here very soon, it hit the UK last Friday.
Was hoping it would turn up today, but no such luck.
Hope yours sound good @resolution - I can imagine the experience would leave many with a bad taste in their mouth, but also hoping the product makes up for this fiasco.
