Rather than a "new" meta, I'd rather call it the "current" meta. This muted upper mid was the thing long ago before Harman style became popular. It's just a return to a previously existing trend. Maybe in a few years time, Harman will be back.
yes, I think Harman 2019 drove off the road into a ditch. Now, Mega5EST 7th Ann. accidentally lowered the pinna by 4-5db, and people loved it, and realized 2019 Harman was BS the whole time and we just got used to it. Personally I prefer Harman -3, maybe -4db, not as much as M5E 7th did it.
Just receive this set last night and going to do the full review. The first impression is this set is very layback kinda sound, my preference haha. thick and not to technical for ez listening. I am imaging myself listening to this after a long day of work to chill and relax haha. Nice review as always broo..
subtonic storm and canpur cp622b are "safe" = not good to people with defective hearing who prefer 2019 harman. By "defective" I mean "different from me" :)
Myer Audio cklvx d41 and Pula Pa02 have the new Meta tuning in a lower price bracket. Not so refined sound I like the KE4 but still great for the price.
@@jordanng5428Thank you. Does Hype 2 have a more sort of 3D spacial sound compared to something like the Blessing 3 which i find to b3 a bit narrow but decent depth? I remember trying a Thieaudio IEM years back - maybe Legacy 5 or something of that sort and being wowed compared to my Etymotics which are very binural. Thank you for your time and great videos!😊
why is the word "safe" used as a pejorative? Safe = correct, safe = accurate. What is wrong with accurate and correct? If the new META sounds natural and non-irritating to people, why call that "safe"?
Yeah, I am of the same opinion as you. Safe = Correct. A lot of iems have that “shoutiness” in the vocal region, and the sibilance Sssssssss makes listening to vocal a ‘hits & misses ’ affair. I think modern listeners are demanding more than what the music can offer.

it's Jm01 nothing else. Although it sounds natural feels like real speaker. Harmon lacks weight.

When is subtonic storm and canpur cp622b?👀

Any similar priced alternative with more lower mids?
