Yes, I think it’s safe to buy it now. I truly hope that those hot, bright sounding Teas are now history.
One thing I forgot to mention in my first post… @nymz set has silver vent mesh while my has black mesh but it doesn’t seem to affect anything.
I have now thrown against my pair few songs that I usually listen and can confirm again that they weren’t hot or sibilant on any of them.
This song in particular I use for sibilance as her voice can pierce on brighter sets
I’m not sure if I’m remembering right, but it seems that MEST MKII might have a bigger stage. Diminishing returns is definitely something worth considering, but in terms of MEST, I wouldn’t say that, at least for the price that I got. Can’t say much about 1K+ IEMs cos I don’t have any experience in that realm instead of the current MEST.
But if you want me to price-rank MEST against Variations according to my ears, honestly I’d say $300-350 more than Variations seem like a reasonable value. +$400 would be a stretch for me. If there’s anything that getting the MEST taught me, is that I won’t be needing anything priced above $700. Content with what I have atm.
So daily update: I still hate fedex. I bought toping nx7 and Hiby R5 Sabre this morning. Igor sent me back my Teas. Im getting Yuan Li on monday. Im exhausted, thank god for friday.
I need a deep session of jams with my rsv and some sleep time.
EDIT: Oh, forgot I also got ifi Hip-Dac on a bargain local deal, so that’s also coming next week.
Fixed that for you.
Fedex in UK is one of the worst, they don’t smash parcels, but they outsource their packages to their child brand TNT, then the tracking just keep getting delayed and delayed, saying that it will arrive today, then a sorry at night “will deliver tomorrow,” then another missed delivery the next day, so on so forth. And both the TNT and Fedex site don’t properly work.
Hermes UK is still the worst of UK couriers tho. According to their company policy, if the parcel is meant to be delivered by night, the postman have to make it or delayed parcel mean they get a fine the next day, resulting in a lot of cases that the postman just marks it as "Delivered’ that night but not really. Either they take the parcel home and deliver it the next day, or they just throw it in a random building or flat near the address… My friend and I just had 4 of these occurrences this month alone.
Guess thats why they are called TNT. 
100% the worst - I’ve even managed to catch the local Hermes delivery driver after receiving a text saying they tried to deliver but no-one was in, after I’d beeen waiting in the house all f**king day. Lazy bastards. We had words.
Edit: Very nice catch with the MEST by the way - that looks dope.
I currently hate DHL because they (for customs) rejected my Oxygen purchase and sent it back to the seller. I mean, I know I shouldn’t blame them since I asked the seller to declare a low value, but it still hurts ok 
Edit: UK-based. DHL also wasn’t that fast (10 days from placing order to arrival into customs)
DHL is lightning fast for me!
I am with @nymz , DHL is my favorite international shipper, they are almost always ahead of schedule.
I will not win DQ6 …
Outside the game I make a new assumption: 17.12.2021 
My timeless is going back to china, it seems :’)
Is it actually going back? Or are you just messing around because at this point that could be a very true statement.
Did it not pass customs? I feel ya amigo
Now that I’ve heard UM Mest and Variations, I could understand how the Tea is dark from your perspective. It became dark for me instantly after trying the MEST.
On another note, about your Timeless, hasn’t the seller decide to just ship out a new set before the original gets shipped back to them? If not, that would be a somewhat disappointing service…
It’s really the truth
It did… Seems adress was wrongly filled
Im not the one dealing with him, @Godria, my manager and PR is
Ironic that they are called Hermes… The Greek god of Speed.
I never heard any of those iems bro, im sorry. @igor0203 tried Trio, so he can give you an insight on that.
WIP, this weekend!
I told my friend that Zeus should fire Hermes of UK.
Question to all of you guys, would you like a simple S to E tier list or you want full details as well?
