Good for a while but..
Then the left one started to sound muffled like the orifices were obstructed with earwax or something, but no they were clean. I guess one of the armatures died.
By far the most comfortable IEM I've ever owned. For some reason, my right ear always has comfort issues, causing my ears to hurt after about 30 min of wearing almost all other IEMs. These are the only IEMs I've owned that don't cause pain.
I don't know why I waited so long to pick these up. I purchased them when Drop had reduced the price and I bought them as an "okay, let's give these a try". Wowza am I impressed!
The size is small but they fit like a glove in my ears. I wouldn't think too many people would have a hard time fitting these in their ears. They have the best shell design of any IEM I have tried, most comfortable IEM I have owned or reviewed. I use the wide bore tips. But wait, there is more!
Sonically the Plus Universal are amazing. Well controlled, balanced, cohesive throughout. Bass has authority and power while remaining controlled. Sub bass depths are explored and reached without getting to far out there. Mid bass has nice thump and slam without beating your head silly till you have a headache. Upper bass is tame enough so it doesn't bleed into the mids. Speaking of the mids, oh yeah! The mids have a touch of warmth and lushness without being bloated or muddy. The mids are natural and accurate. The mids have good detail and clarity without being excessively expressive. Treble is well controlled, with adequate extension but could use just a touch more air. There is good amount of energy and sparkle but at times I wish that there was just a tad more. Soundstage is accurately wide, does a good job of reproducing the venue stage width. Depth is amazing and you can read into a stage and diagnose easily. Imaging is fantastic as sounds whizz around the stage and you can pin point locations with accuracy. Layering is also very good and there are no moments of confusion or muddling. Tone and timbre is the star of the show. The Universal Plus have some of the best tone and timbre I have heard from an all BA IEM. Every instrument sounds natural, accurate and true in reproduction, it is craziness how good they're in this aspect. Detail retrieval is good and solid, you won't miss anything. Resolution is also another highlight as these are fantastic for the price range.
Overall, I highly recommend the Plus Universal. I hope Drop brings them back as they are amazing and I think everyone should give them a listen.
Sound utterly fantastic, but build quality is so disappointing at this price
Driver in first pair broke with a fall from desk height (roughly 18 months after purchase). Connector in second pair (roughly two years after buying secondhand like-new) apparently came unglued from housing and pulled out entirely while replacing cable, detaching wire from driver along with it. The stock cable that came with my original pair also became discolored a couple months into owning it, then eventually broke entirely.
It's such a shame as they genuinely sound fantastic. I just cannot recommend them with how both of my pairs have broken.
