Massdrop x MEE audio Planamic In-Ear Monitors

Nov 13, 2018

Received these today. Initial impressions (0 hour, 0 burn in) find very deep visceral bass that offers a strong and defined impact that is surprisingly quick and punchy. The texturing offered is very strong, albeit on the slower side sometimes offering a slight tinge of muddiness. The midrange is surprisingly clear and quite detailed. The midrange is upper-vocal-focused giving off strong clarity, this holds for instrumentals as well. Detailing overall is strong; it's not overbearing but has good attack. The treble is going to be the area where there is least focus. The treble is very soft and kind of opposite of what the midrange offers. There is plenty of detail and it does extend quite far up top. But the quantity just seems to take a back seat compared to the mids and lows. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound signature. I will have to compare them to the HiFiMan RE-1000 which I have as they should have a very similar signature, but given in a slightly different manner. Edit 1 ___ Regarding the design, I chose the blue color, and the color is a very deep midnight blue. It's almost black. The pictures made them out to be a little brighter, but they are indeed a dark midnight blue. ___ Edit 2 ___ The Advanced Audio Worx Capri cable (Lightning) works well with these. The Capri cable is known for having a bit of a high noise floor. The noise floor is still audible with the Planamic IEMs, but it's much lower than any other headphone I've tested with the cable (Massdrop X, HiFiMan RE-1000, etc.). The Capri cable doesn't change the sound of the Planamic that much compared to the Apple Lightning to 3.5mm adapter.
