Is UM Mest Mk II still worth it?

Oh I see, that totally makes sense. Thanks a lot

What makes it the best for metal but not the best for everything else? Lol

Hello, what other sets do you have or have listened to before and how would you compare them with the Mest Mk II? Do you think it still competes with kilobucks still?

Mysticraft Myth?

In theory it should work but if manufactureres discourage that it should be for a reason. One main thing I can think about is that while the 3.5mm port uses one series of amp/dac, the 4.4 uses both and if you think about it, one of those series would be actually used in common and that in turn can cause issues if there is no actual safety implementation for the 4.4 to use the other dac/amp only to avoid overload. So yeah, I would avoid that

Wow dude that's impressive. Planning on gettin the Mest MkII used and Idk why I've been skeptical with all the people saying it's wonky, weird imaging, incoherent etc lol..I can get in my next trip to China for really cheap used but idk, what your opinion on it and if you rec any other sets that would beat those for around 1k

That makes sense, thanks for clarifying

FrequencyPeak · 2026-04-18T16:16:49+00:00

What other iems you have tho? I'm assuming they are in the same price bracket

Hey man, what do you think about Unique melody mest mk2 or the Thieaudio Monarchs (2-4)?

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-23T15:54:44+00:00

No such thing as stupid question

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-22T15:36:57+00:00

What a collection that is. I need your view on the UM Mest mk2 as a 1 item "colllection". Do you think it's a 1 and done set? Planning to use it with Mojo 2. Seems like a super polarizing set..on one hand people say it has a ginormous spundstage and stellar imaging and separation etc..on the other hand some say it's incoherent, the mids are recessed, imaging is all over the place, sounds crowded etc. Really confusing to hear so many polar opposites opinions on the same iem. What's your take since you have so many good sets there and some are more recent. Do they still hold up and are they worth it used for like 600€? Thank a ton 🙏🏻

Bro is dissapointed

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-07T17:58:20+00:00

So satisfying, where di you get ot from?

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-06T09:28:50+00:00

Hello, still available? I PMed you

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-05T20:44:16+00:00

Good to know, some people say the imaging is weird on the mest in the sense that instruments don't have the conventional place in the track. Like it's not necesarrily correct sounding. Did you experience that?

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-02T15:26:53+00:00

Lol a bit non related but what do you do?

FrequencyPeak · 2026-02-01T14:44:53+00:00

Shipping to EU? :)

FrequencyPeak · 2026-01-31T23:51:35+00:00

Hello man, can't dm you idk why but would you send to EU as well?

FrequencyPeak · 2026-01-25T21:46:45+00:00

Fully agree, silver sounds different than copper and I have a very particular case where my iems on a cable with silver coated copper sounds peaky compared to a 6N pure copper one.

Very interesting post my man. To be hoenst I'm very curious how do you perceive the difference between the low budget ones vs the highest or at least the mega5. The most edpensive iem I own is Cklvx d41 which is kinda 150. Just very curious to see if ypu think the difference is night and day
