The most impressive aspect of the MEST II to me is the holographic soundstage with great depth and great imaging. The instruments sound tangible within the space. I love playing live recorded music with the MEST II. Also, with other sets which has a lot of treble energy, the vocal could sound drowned, but not with the MEST II, the bone conductor works, and makes the vocal substantial.

I agree and even when I read your words, it doesn't quite express how good it is. I felt a bit defeated trying to put into words something so special to me. In talking to people with MKII and Indigo, I think it just gets better which is even harder to wrap my head around. Thank you

@@PaulWasabii The sensation of the MEST II to me when I first put them on was similar to when I first heard the HD800. The most vivid sound images I have ever heard. By the way, there’s a cheaper model coming up by UM called the MEXT, which costs around 1k. And instead of going all out for technicalities, the MEXT has a little more bass and it’s less in the face in the upper spectrum for a more laid back and more musical experience. Great for people who find the MEST/MEST II fatiguing.

Hi Paul 😊 from time to time u review some pretty expensive iems, thats great. Do you plan to review the kinera nanna 2.0? Listen through the mest is like to dive into a music, be centre of it and disect everything, any note cant hide from you the mids are extremely transparent😄 yet everything is around you. I also own the nanna 2.0 and I am curious what would be your opinion to compare them 😄. To me the nanna is in many ways like the mest (everything is around you with vocals in the centre/extremely intimate, but the nanna is smoother with better dynamic range, not wall of sound also better driver coherency. Mest maybe a little bit detailed cause everything is pushed at you, and the nanna is detailed in a very natural way (u can disect if u want to but also just chill if you want, with the mest you can not chill never ever !!! 😀😀). Nanna is like if the mest would take a chill 😀😀. In the mest everything is pushed at you at a same time. Some reviewers also reported the Nanna 2.0 as a more detailed of the two, cause nanna is faster in the transience, faster in the mids.

Yes I had a Nanna 2.0 for a bit. This is true "Nanna is like if the mest would take a chill ". MEST does detail differently than Nanna or anything else. I have heard various version of what they do to treble for that effect but not really sure its accurate. It is very different and can be very intense. As you said, Nanna is more natural in detail and that is why I said MEST has a super natural sound to it. Its very cool, but natural is not how I would describe it. It seems to amplify detail rather than present it naturally. I understand why people love it. You have Nanna, I have EJ07M, those are more natural in that sense but I wouldn't trade my EJ in for a MEST. I think it is a super fun set to have in one's collection, but not my primary set. The mids and vocals in particular have this near and wide at the same time effect. Vocals can be very close and intimate but the other instruments can be much farther away at the same time. Again, maybe its bone conduction, but its something that sounds different than any other set. It is very hard to compare parts of MEST to anything (mids to mids). Yes, I think I would want a used MEST in my collection someday as it is unique, but not necessarily as a replacement. Maybe MK2 or MEXT refined that sound a bit more so it is close to a daily carry set, just not sure. For me, Nanna is closer to how I think about EJ07, that relaxed set I can listen to for hours where MEST might be that gym or mowing the lawn set, a short burst of absolute fun. BTW, I have read more than a few reviews on MEST, did my own review, and not sure I came close to describing all that goes on in MEST. I am not a MEST is BEST person, but yeah, it certainly left an impression on me. Even though it might not be my endgame, I certainly understand people who stopped after hearing MEST.

I don't know if I would chase anything if you love Variations. Its up there among the best. As I said, the concern with MEST is the fatigue. I haven't heard Variations though. $550 I think I would jump on MEST as you can sell it for the same price if you hate it. Unless prices have changed, a used MEST was $700ish.

Not polar opposites, but EJ07M is a more neutral set with a relaxed treble which some would call not enough for detail chasers. MEST was almost the opposite, built for detail chasers with a real strong upper range level and unique driver config.

MEXT also lost the EST. MEST is one I will think about quite a bit as time goes on, keeping an eye out for used sets as they pop up. Something about having that full raw experience of MEST is maybe more enticing than the refined versions.
