There are many, many reviews of this IEM, so any remarks I make here won't be very useful. In fact, 3+ years of great reviews is what made me so interested in this set. If you are trying to make a purchasing decision regarding the Mest MKII, so ahead and buy it. The legends are true. It is so fun!
Here are three observations. These are minor things that I learned after hearing it for myself:
- I received the new packaging, which is not described in most reviews. I tried several different aftermarket tips when I first got my Mest MKII, but the included tips in this new packaging are the best for me.
-The bass did surprise me, deeper and bigger than I thought. This is a happy surprise: it is delicious.
-I read many reviews saying the Mest MKII is brutal on old recordings, but I don't find that to be true, at least in my library. Old R&B, Jazz, and poorly-recorded Funk sound natural and alive.
If you are eyeing the Mest MKII, go ahead and buy it. Buy it here from MusicTeck: I cannot find it at a better price. Shipping was fast and free. Communication before the sale was really good too.
