Wow, they really have changed the tuning. Much more to my liking tbh. The old tuning looked really good. The new tuning looks to have that special sauce I’m looking for. Thank you again TDM. Some reviewers wouldn’t take the time to update there findings. You did….that is integrity..!
Really digging this one the mids are crazy clean. I wish this got updated sooner so people could decide it they liked the more laid back Pula PA02 or this one. Bit honestly it would be worth the have both and for under $400 for both that's crazy When I see new releases hit $400 7hz new one I scratch my head.
@@tonedeafmonkyeah that aurora looks pretty mid, and ugly. The only iems from 7hz I enjoy are legato and timeless AE. Salnotes zero was good for its time, but not for me..too thin.
There was absolutely no need to apologize but you still did it like a great gentleman. I had reported to Myer Audio that the new SL-41s do not accept almost any 2-pin cable other than theirs and now that you have reported it too I hope they have understood this. Too bad I can't use my Effect Audio cables with them and I hope the two new Xinhs recessed pins fit into the narrow cavity they created. Great review by a great enthusiast. Compliments!
I remember that delivery was delayed by about a week because Myer Audio had to inspect it. It may have been due to QC inspection or the final version. Seeing as the 2pin terminal of my IEM is dented, I think it is the final version. When I played it to other people, they said the staging was very wide and the bass felt strong. That's why it feels slightly different from your review. Anyway, I really like the sound of this IEM! Tone balance and tuning are perfect.
I finally bought the Sliivo SL-41 and I don't regret it, really good !! Perfect for what I like, blues rock, jazz (bass and guitars) and classical music (very resolving). THANK YOU !!
Ouch! :-) As you probably concluded i bought a set based off your rec. So no longer "What goes in comes out"- "with a nitrous boost and all the right curves and bends in all the right places?" ;-). I don't think i will regret having bought them as they will problably be more then fine indeed and surely killer bang for the buck. I bought the set though because of the monitor like tuning, with that little added bit of fun. Thanks for your appologies bro. No one got hurt, so no harm done; I sure get your regret of the way that went down. ;-) For true monitor-like IEM's I will now look further in to the Plunge Audio Unity's. Great video that was. Love to learn more. Meanwhile, would it be possible/will you plott the new/final Sliivo SL41 in a spidergraph, like you did before with the pre-prod version, agains the main competition please? Thanks a bunch for the new video and all your insights. Still can't wait for my set to arrive.
Приветствую, Москва на связи! У меня есть первый вариант и второй, который купил жене, первый мне нравится гораздо больше, второй вариант при наличии Pula 02 нет смысла брать, но это мое мнение. Спасибо за работу, Удачи!
To reassure everyone considering to get this set, you can volume scale them up with no problem of fatigue or spiciness. The tonality is very warm and the treble is smooth enough despite what the graph might suggest. It's more musical than analytical oriented but don't shy on the details either.
As a complete newbie I spent weeks daily finding which iem would be right for me, from the many TH-camrs. Love the detailed description. Although went mostly over my head, enough into my ear that I ordered the SL41, in part because of its size. It’s apparently on its way. Thankyou for your guidance. Will check out your playlist with this.
@@tonedeafmonk without technical vocabulary, would simply like to say this iem was all as you described. Great fit for small female ears and listening pleasure. However for senior person needing reading g glasses, as cable gets approval from you I wish cables don’t dislodge so easily. It’s a fiddly n delicate chore to fit back avoiding breaking the tiny pins. Do you think a judicious smear of superglue would help. I would use it more! Thankyou.
If your cable comes off easily that would be a warranty issue should not do that. Maybe you got one of the early versions Inwould ask the seller @FLC33-35
Was waiting for what it compares to at a higher price since it's so good . I see today many reviewers but not all are scare to praise a lesser price over a more expensive price.
Curve looks a bit like my cincotres so if it close i understand, just been ziping coffee and rocking with Metallica, crying with chris kläfford, dreaming with mark knopfler for 5h+ . And super review as always
Hey Monk! Are you planning to do a review on the Myer's at head-fi ? You would be the first to do a dedicated one... would love to see it there 🤘👍 ...and many thanks for your YT reviews on them, I just ordered the SL-41 10 minutes ago 🎧
@@tonedeafmonk Ah, ok, I didn't know that. I thought it's a decent forum (not a big regular there, just every few years when I switch gear). Btw, may I ask you for your opinion on a decent max. 1000$ DAP with a minimum of +/- 1000mW? (so far I have the Shanling M5 Ultra, FiiO M23, FiiO M15S on my shortlist) 🤔🥺
Dear Monk , I received the SL41's and the cable and earphone won't stay connected. The cable slips out real easy. I'm gonna have to return them. They came apart about 10 times in the 1 hour I used them. Have you had any problem keeping them connected ? Big design flaw .
The SL41 MKII and the Cadenza trade blows for technical performance but, you will precieve better Instrumental separation and vocals with the SL41 it's not as balanced but more fun.
Hello Mr Monk 😊 have you tried the truthear Nova? Nova or sliivo ?? My music library ie pop and rock Thx a million! You are the man to go to go to for iems❤
Hm, better than the Pula PA02 or you prefer it, so i have to hear the SL41 i think, but i also think they should have renamed it and sell both Tunings as SL41/SL42 or something. I can confirm the Problem with the Connectors on the Pula (had long Conversations about this and other Things) and sent 2 Units and also Cables back. So the improved Version is still on it`s way, will see if it is ok now.
Oh no ! Great review ! Now I wish I had ordered the SL41 instead of the D41. I wonder if they'll let me return it and order the SL41. Will they send me the final version and not the first version ? What to do ?
The final version is the only one bieng sold and It's worth having both as they are not sside grades but quite different tuning. Sorry I wish this info would have come out sooner but you never know what happens behind the scenes.
@@tonedeafmonk which penon? The orange or black one? And I'm currently choosing between Questyle M12i or the DC07. I'm going to choose the DC07 now. Thank you.
Between the SL41 and the SLT6, what would you recommend? Another thing, how does the SL41 compare to more expensive items? come close to being a giant killer?
As expected (and very much appreciated), you have provided a comprehensive rundown of the changes made to the production set... Unfortunately, these changes - primarily in the brighter and crispier top-end treble - have flattened my genuine purchase intrigue for this set now. I'm confused as to why they'd do this, as the D41/PA02 was already the more 'exciting' set with a warmer punchy mid-bass with sub-bass extension and a somewhat lively treble presentation... and the (prototype) SL41 was a really balanced/monitor set with a nice sub-bass boost and less lively/peaky treble extension... which, to my sensitive ears and your prototype review, sounded VERY intriguing ! But instead they decided to make the SL41 even MORE lively than the D41/PA02 sets... ?? Hmmm... While I have no doubt that the production SL41 sounds excellent, it's those specific changes in the sensitive upper treble region that makes it a no-go now 😕 Oh well, at least that money will be re-directed straight to the Plunge Unity/Twilight fundraising campaign 🙂 Cheers !
I already have the CKLVX D41 and love how they sound with my Acoustune AET07 eartips (basically the KBEAR 07 tips). My favorite iem i have is the Thieaudio Hype 4, which is a set that perfectly compliments my music library and makes for a good stage monitor. I mostly listen to classic rock, 80s pop, 90s alt metal (especially funk-metal), a little bit of instrumental jazz, and I occasionally make electronic beats as well. Every so often I'll shuffle the spiderman movie scores as well haha. Any idea if the Sliivo here is more well-rounded for all of that, or should I stick with the D41? I just like how the Sliivo graphs is all 😅
I would really appreciate if you can comment on if slt6 is an upgrade or sidegrade to yanyin canon 2? I have the canon 2 should i get slt6 or just wait for something truly better which will be more "upgrade"?
Omg these are soooo good for metal! I can hear everything but I’m still getting the impact from the drums that I crave. It’s like the performer 8 if it loosened up and had some fun. At least it’s close on the detail retrieval of the p8, and the separation. I haven’t even used it on my btr7 or dap, this is out of a Nintendo switch and TH-cam lol.
I am sure I was holding off for a ROHM and R2R and will probably pick up the dac chips for the XDUOO XD05 Pro. But that combination sound like a perfect pairing!
I don't know how the Rhom sounds on the Xduo, but with the money needed for the two modules I would take a DC-Elite directly. It really is a miniature D320 MAX TI... (I would not be surprised if it destroyed the Xduo with Rhom module). By now we know very well that it is not the chip that makes the sound but its implementation. If, on the other hand, they send them to you for testing, that's fine. (personal opinion)
Doesn't really sound like it's your fault. You were clear about what you knew/were told. And you took the time to verify with a production unit, and communicated what you knew as you knew it, can't really do any more than that... Much as I liked the prospect of the prototypes tuning, I think I'd get along with the production's tuning too. So I'm still keeping them in consideration. Will you be reviewing the Ziigaat Cincotres at all?
@@tonedeafmonk Ahh that sucks, hope that gets resolved for you soon! Curious to see what you make of the Cincotres vs the SL41 given the talk around the both of them.
@@tonedeafmonkThe Doscinco is really great though, Its got that slam and thump yet still very clean and balanced sounding. An upgrade over the d41 imo.
The D41 and the Cadenza are close and I compared the two in the review. The SL41 is tuned differently you can substitute my comments on the D41 vs SL41 bieng the same way the Cadenza 4 would sound vs the SL41
Hi Monk! What to choose Falcon Ultra or SL41 ? That's a difference of $25. Thank you for your warm videos. Please help me to understand I am confused. I already have a PA02.
Um that's a tough call I would say if you don't have a great Single DD IEM then Falcon Ultra absolutely, The SL41 is a different spin and would compliment tour PA02
Thank you for the great review. I really like the honest and natural way of talking about headphones. The only IEM I have is the SIMGOT EM6L. I perceive the EM6L as a bit too bright, it lacks some bass punch and body. Could you please compare SLIIVO with SIMGOT EM6L? bass, mids, treble, resolution, 3D imaging?
Hey tonedeaf monk just wanted to ask a question for after watching this comprehensive review. Although you praised this set for its vocal performance and technical abilities. I would like to ask if this is a suitable set for more digital music genres such as the likes of jpop/vocaloid? How would this set comoare to the likes of a simgot em6l or ea500lm? Is it worth the extra price hike to go for this set instead? Also thank you for the review and would appreciate your comments and thoughts about this set for the music genres I listed above. (Edit) I also wanted to ask if there is any "holographic staging" with this iem akin to something like an olina se? If so this iem would peak my interest. Also how does this compare to the likes of gizaudio chopin?
Got mine just now! What tips you got on it? H570? Edit nm penon liquor tips, funny those are the first I’ve tried haha. I figured I got these tips last month and haven’t even tested them yet. Also have the blacks.
Thanks a whole bunch for your rec of the Meyer Sliivo Audio SL41. Got them in finaly. This new tuning is so awsome. I'm about a hundred hours in now and they start opening up and are becoming sooo trippy (and so real) with great recordings. The stock tips are a blast and a real treat with the finest recordings, less so with lesser ones though. I found the yellow tips from my 7HZ Timeless to be great and real audiophile (little more musical and forgiving), the white ones are tu(r)ning them in to giant main stage stacks 🙂. How is this possible for under 200 Euro/Dollar? :-0 Great times for this hobby man! Q (if i may): What are the orange tips use on these? What dot they do for the sound? Or do you happen to know what the default white tips are they came with for that matter? Can't find it anywhere. and HiFiGo does not know.😞They are great. My thanks are 7 meters high ;-) man. This is a truely awsome addition to my IEM collection. Safe/save the best for last/less, cause it's the cheapest one of the bunch now. [ Etymotic ER4XR - Final Audio E5000 - 7hZ Timeless original (all on other cables and with different tips ;-)]
@@tonedeafmonk Thanks man. I ordered the orange ones and If i like them I might get the black ones too. Curious about the differences. From all the reviews on the Penon tips I decided to go for the orange ones first as they seem to be more in line with my taste. Also comfort is paramout; and the orange ones are just a tad softer. We'll see (read hear). ;-) So happy with the SLIIVO SL41's man.
Bruda, kindly recommend an IEM under 100 dollars which suits genres like lofi, hip hop, rap, indie pop, electronic pop, chill wave, indie rock, trip pop....
If you love it so much why didn't you compare it to iems that cost a little more ? This is how us consumers look to buy , so no other comparisons this video does not help. Oh yes comparing D41 doesn't help .
Stop schilling Monk!!!!!!! Lol All reviewers agree that the D41 is very underrated, I ordered but was back order so I cancelled,now it's either SL41 or if I can scrape enough coin to get SLT6
We have seen this with the Hidizs MP 145 planar. Can’t trust this company! I think Nooo! Don’t like the 5k peak. Was going to buy the original, but not now.
my mp145 sounds great, but I got it off kickstarter. Is the revision even different? To me it looked like it was just a small variation of like 1db somewhere due to the backplate or unit variation.
Masterful explanation of the differences. You and Akros are a blessing to this hobby.

Worth the upgrade not to take anything away from the Simgot but they have a Upper mids I can't listen to for many hours unlike this one.

@@tonedeafmonkThe Doscinco is really great though, Its got that slam and thump yet still very clean and balanced sounding. An upgrade over the d41 imo.
How does this need tunning compared to the Chopin? Which sounds better
I already own the ea500lm u think would it be an upgrade to this IEM?
How's this one vs the cadenza 4? FR graph seems kind of close.
The D41 and the Cadenza are close and I compared the two in the review. The SL41 is tuned differently you can substitute my comments on the D41 vs SL41 bieng the same way the Cadenza 4 would sound vs the SL41
Hi Monk! What to choose Falcon Ultra or SL41 ? That's a difference of $25. Thank you for your warm videos. Please help me to understand I am confused. I already have a PA02.
Um that's a tough call I would say if you don't have a great Single DD IEM then Falcon Ultra absolutely, The SL41 is a different spin and would compliment tour PA02
@@tonedeafmonkThank you dear Monk for your answers for me. But things change quickly and I forgot to delete the message. I bought Ziigaat Cincotres.
Now I want some bubblegum drivers...
So, this is SLIIVO x Monk collab!
Not yet
Thank you for the great review. I really like the honest and natural way of talking about headphones. The only IEM I have is the SIMGOT EM6L. I perceive the EM6L as a bit too bright, it lacks some bass punch and body.
Could you please compare SLIIVO with SIMGOT EM6L? bass, mids, treble, resolution, 3D imaging?
I marked improvement in all those metrics a worthy upgrade IMO
if its anything like the cklvx d41 its a direct upgrade.
Hey tonedeaf monk just wanted to ask a question for after watching this comprehensive review. Although you praised this set for its vocal performance and technical abilities. I would like to ask if this is a suitable set for more digital music genres such as the likes of jpop/vocaloid? How would this set comoare to the likes of a simgot em6l or ea500lm? Is it worth the extra price hike to go for this set instead? Also thank you for the review and would appreciate your comments and thoughts about this set for the music genres I listed above. (Edit) I also wanted to ask if there is any "holographic staging" with this iem akin to something like an olina se? If so this iem would peak my interest. Also how does this compare to the likes of gizaudio chopin?
It is the better of all the set you mentioned IMHO, And yes to Jpop 100%
@@tonedeafmonk thank you
Got mine just now! What tips you got on it? H570? Edit nm penon liquor tips, funny those are the first I’ve tried haha. I figured I got these tips last month and haven’t even tested them yet. Also have the blacks.
Orange ones now
Thanks a whole bunch for your rec of the Meyer Sliivo Audio SL41. Got them in finaly. This new tuning is so awsome. I'm about a hundred hours in now and they start opening up and are becoming sooo trippy (and so real) with great recordings.
The stock tips are a blast and a real treat with the finest recordings, less so with lesser ones though. I found the yellow tips from my 7HZ Timeless to be great and real audiophile (little more musical and forgiving), the white ones are tu(r)ning them in to giant main stage stacks 🙂. How is this possible for under 200 Euro/Dollar? :-0 Great times for this hobby man!
Q (if i may): What are the orange tips use on these? What dot they do for the sound? Or do you happen to know what the default white tips are they came with for that matter? Can't find it anywhere. and HiFiGo does not know.😞They are great. My thanks are 7 meters high ;-) man.
This is a truely awsome addition to my IEM collection. Safe/save the best for last/less, cause it's the cheapest one of the bunch now.
[ Etymotic ER4XR - Final Audio E5000 - 7hZ Timeless original (all on other cables and with different tips ;-)]
The Orange tips are Penon Laquer tips my go to now
@@tonedeafmonk thanks once more. Will try them out for sure.
@@tonedeafmonkblack or orange?
The orange tips are from Penon but I would recommend the Black ones
@@tonedeafmonk Thanks man. I ordered the orange ones and If i like them I might get the black ones too. Curious about the differences. From all the reviews on the Penon tips I decided to go for the orange ones first as they seem to be more in line with my taste. Also comfort is paramout; and the orange ones are just a tad softer. We'll see (read hear). ;-)
So happy with the SLIIVO SL41's man.
Hi, I have my old Fiio FH5. Does it make sense to "upgrade" to Sliivo SL41?
Yes it's a better set IMHO
Bang bang gang 👉🏻

🤟
How confusing. Sorry that Meyer audio did this to you. The final version should have been called SL42 if SL41 was sold in the market.
Maybe a small typo, but you've been calling it Meyer Audio instead of Myer Audio like its Ali Express store ;)
Your right I did it again LOL
Bruda, kindly recommend an IEM under 100 dollars which suits genres like lofi, hip hop, rap, indie pop, electronic pop, chill wave, indie rock, trip pop....
Simgot EM6L? It can cover a lot of genres successfully and often found around 100$!
A Simgot EA500LM with a 500 level filter on the Red nozzle!
@@tonedeafmonk do we need to buy the filter?
@sanjaycool4737 Yeah the $5 Simgot tuning kit and EA500LM hopefully find under $100
@@tonedeafmonk I meant under 100 dollars😅. Not exactly 100 dollar
Merci !
Thanks so much 🙏
@@tonedeafmonk You're the best !
If you love it so much why didn't you compare it to iems that cost a little more ? This is how us consumers look to buy , so no other comparisons this video does not help. Oh yes comparing D41 doesn't help .
Stop schilling Monk!!!!!!! Lol
All reviewers agree that the D41 is very underrated, I ordered but was back order so I cancelled,now it's either SL41 or if I can scrape enough coin to get SLT6
I would hit the SL41 and wait the 1+4+2 from the same tuner is close and it looks amazing on paper
they made pa02 clone again kekw
Not the SL41 but definitely the D41 is exactly the same as the PA02
Its a shame they crapped the tuning
The new tuning for me is the BOMB!
Myer audio ruined a perfect tuning, now it play like other one
I can see why some would like THE PROTOTYPE tuning over the new boosted one but then there is the Cadenza 4 out there as well and Studio 4
We have seen this with the Hidizs MP 145 planar. Can’t trust this company! I think Nooo! Don’t like the 5k peak. Was going to buy the original, but not now.
I think they learned a big lesson here and should have renamed the revised version
my mp145 sounds great, but I got it off kickstarter. Is the revision even different? To me it looked like it was just a small variation of like 1db somewhere due to the backplate or unit variation.
