full metal shell interesting, let me guess $2000 at least for the IEM + a $1000 cable so $3000 minimum

oh wow. never heard either the og or the mkii, maybe third timeâs the charm
I own both the Mest MK2 and the Monarch MK2 and I have exactly this approach; the Mon MK2 are my daily driver at the desk with my daily setup. When I want a detailed and very clear listening session, I pull out the Mest MK2.
It is not like I prefer one over the other, they are just different and both very very good IEMs.
Fit is no problem for either, so no problem in that area. And I highly rec both and none of them will leave my collection; together with my Moondrop S8 and the Ikko OH10 (cheap but so addictive), they are the 4 IEMs that will never leave.

Iâm most curious how it sounds compared to the MKII. Also, do they have a price listed?

Mk3 has 2 extra estat drivers and updates BC. So basically they said itâs Indigo with new BC. The sound signature is slightly more mid centric vs V shaped Mk2.
The price should be around $1700.

Funny you.mentioned them, but I just picked up a pair of OH10s from the for sale thread here. Unfortunately, I am out of the country right now and my girl got to them first and really seems to be digginâ them so I may not get to try them afterall.

Damn I got mk2s 2 weeks ago and thatâs the only thing I wouldâve liked better. Tho not gonna spend again.
Thatâs how supposed to look like the Mk3 production unit.
On the Demo unit there is a switch to turn off BC.
If you had a good deal on Mk2 then donât worry about Mk3.

Did you happen to attend CanJam NYC this past weekend? The MEST MKIII was literally right in front of me at one point but it kept getting pulled in 4 different directions so I couldnât get my ears on them - I wasnât willing to wait any longer, honestly.
Yeah got a decent deal on them. Though the fit isnât really very good with me till now have to tip roll a bit more I guess.
yes, I took these pictures at Canjam NYC

Hi, I got my Mest MK1 CIEM made a few months ago. Sound-wise, I found it to be warmer than the UIEM, to the point i feel like they have a different sound signature. My big issue with the CIEM is that the uppermids are too recessed, as opposed to the UIEM, which are bright. Is there anyway i can bring the Mest mk1 CIEM to sound more like the UIEM, or am i stucked with this issue? 
Try more eartips. There is no other salvation.
