They nailed the visual side of things for a start.

Still testing, but first impressions of the Top: Kind of an unexpected sound. The mids are tuned very well for a clarity, but they lack a bit of pressence. The treble is airy and detailed, so pairing with pulled-back mids, you get a really delicate and refined sort of sound. But the mids dont sound accurate to me. I was expecting the sound to be fuller than it is. But I dont dislike this airy sound. The bass is changinging a lot with tip rolling and genre. But its also not quite what I expected nor wanted. It doesnt seem like its keeping up with the speed of the BA drivers, and it isnt showing much versatility or textural nuance. I’m listening on my phone right now, so hopefully it inproves with better sources. The imaging so far is underwhelming. Feels pretty flat. Which is disappointing because I remember the tea 2 performing pretty well in that department. Sorry if these impressions are a little negative. I’m slow to fall in love with new earphones. I will return with more thoughts after I test some more.

I think we all appreciate the non-bias-honeymoon-phase first impressions. While it’s kind of heart breaking to read, it’s more honest.
I really hope they open up for you with more sources 
Ps. I really want one of those cases.

I posted a link to an ebay store where you can buy cases just like that. I have several. The username of the seller is jelightupworld if you want to check it out. And just FYI, I am in no way affiliated with the seller or manufacturer, I just dig the cases. He has quite a few different styles for carrying single IEMs up through twelve, IIRC.

I believe I actually saw the link you posted before, I definitely am going to buy a case like this eventually - I love the 70s swanky style fur on the inside 
this way, your most precious IEMs can be sitting, nice and groovy

I did not ask for it, so I’m not sure I will have it.
The price is steep, but it for sure looks good as hell.
What’s ur favourite color, other than the red?

It seems to me that with all these hybrids and tribrids, we forget about some IEMs that can be really good. For example, OH5 
It looks very promising. If anyone has it, they can share their impressions. I guess because of the price not many people have bought it yet.

Wait is that PURE beryllium at $35?
It doesn’t say pure anywhere but it also doesn’t say plated?

I was wondering the same thing. Either way at $35 with it’s looks and the graph it was a no brainer to order. If it ends up being pure beryllium even more of banger.

Pure beryllium supposedly is difficult to get right! Ends up sounding dry because of how fast it is.
Yeah I’ll have to wait a few days before I place my order, but the Cadenza is looking too good to pass up on. Beryllium ftw.

Whatever the driver, $35 is $35 and the sound will be $35.

Yes, sometimes I have a lot of common sense. It bothers me too. By the way the purple looks gorgeous, I’ve been wanting to order one
